# Datasets and dated snapshots

> Dated snapshots of the each-way terms UK bookmakers publish, with licence records and festival dates, each naming its source, its refresh target and its last read.

This section holds our dated snapshots of what UK bookmakers publish: standard place terms, place options, Rule 4 and dead-heat wording, Best Odds Guaranteed policies, licence records and festival dates. Each table names its source and the day we read it. Where a source has not been read, the cell says Not verified.

## The snapshots and how fresh they are

Each snapshot has a refresh target. Terms are re-read every week and expire after seven days. Licence records are checked on the day a page is published and re-read within 30 days. Festival dates are re-read weekly in the racing season.

**Dataset status · sources as named · checked 7 November 2026**

| Snapshot | Source | Refresh target | Last read |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Standard place terms](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/standard-place-terms/) | Bookmakers' own rules | Every 7 days | Not verified |
| [Place-term options](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/custom-place-term-features/) | Bookmakers' own rules | Every 7 days | Not verified |
| [Rule 4 and dead-heat rules](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/rule-4-dead-heat-rules/) | Bookmakers' rules, Tattersalls Rules | Every 7 days | Not verified |
| [Best Odds Guaranteed](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/best-odds-guaranteed-policies/) | Bookmakers' own rules | Every 7 days | Not verified |
| [Licence records](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/licence-snapshot/) | Gambling Commission public register | On publication, then within 30 days | Not verified |
| [Festival dates](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/racing-festival-dates/) | Jockey Club, Ascot and other organisers | Weekly in season | Dates for four festivals read 6 November 2026 |

**The short version:** the festival dates are the only snapshot with a read date so far; the rest wait for a bookmaker page or a register entry to be read.

## How to use a snapshot

Every dataset page shows its table, a link to the source for each row, and a Download CSV button for the same rows. The CSV matches the visible table, so you can check one against the other.

Read the date beside each figure: a place term describes one race on one day, not a permanent feature of a bookmaker. Method details are in [how we collect, date and check our facts](https://eachwayatlas.uk/about/how-we-check/).

**The short version:** use a snapshot to find where a term is published, then confirm it on your own race.

## What the snapshots do not show

They do not show the places or price on a single race, the daily list of extra places, or any bookmaker's payout speed. They also do not rank bookmakers by themselves; tiers sit on [the best each-way terms page](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/best-each-way-terms/).

If a source blocks automated reading, the gap stays visible as Not verified rather than being filled from another site.

## Change log and update notes

The [change log](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/changelog/) lists what changed on the site and when. Short notes explain individual events, such as the [Sky Bet licensee change](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/sky-bet-licensee-change/) and the [deposit limit wording change](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/deposit-limit-wording-change/). Licence records feed into [the licence snapshot](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/licence-snapshot/).

## How we checked

This hub records the plan and the refresh targets. The only figures read so far are the four festival dates, from the organisers' pages on 6 November 2026. 18+ only. Gambling can be harmful.
