Major online betting agencies Sportsbet, Betstar, Sportingbet Australia and Centrebet declared they would pay out as winning bets Essendon making the top eight as well as not making the top eight.

Refunds will be provided for bets placed on the Bombers in various futures markets, including making the Grand Final and winning the premiership.

Multi bets taking in affected Essendon selections will not automatically lose as a result of the announcement, but final dividends will be subject to change with legs involving a refunded Bombers' bet to be voided.

Carlton, Brisbane Lions, North Melbourne, Adelaide and West Coast are back in the hunt to make the finals after their September dreams appeared dashed.

Betstar released a market on the race for eighth, installing the Blues as a $1.70 favourite.

Mick Malthouse's men will play finals if they defeat Port Adelaide on Saturday, but can still make it if they lose.

The Kangaroos are on the next line of betting on $3.75, while the Crows are at $6.

Several agencies will honour bets on Essendon to win the wooden spoon and bets on whoever finishes last out of Greater Western Sydney and Melbourne.

Centrebet's Michael Felgate said punters won't be left disadvantaged by any flow-on effects of the league's decision to strip the Bombers of their points.

"The punters who backed Essendon in good faith are innocent bystanders caught up in the scandal and don't deserve to be punished, so they will not lose one cent,'' Felgate said.

"Centrebet will also pay-out on the team that takes Essendon's place in the finals. All bets on the team that would have finished ninth to make the top eight and miss the top eight will be paid in full.''

Sportsbet's Haydn Lane said, to be eligible for refunds, bets with his company must have been placed before 7.30pm on Tuesday, August 13 -- the date the initial charges were laid against Essendon officials.

"Sportsbet has paid all bets for Essendon to either make or miss the finals as winning bets and has refunded a host of other Essendon futures bets,'' Lane said.

TAB is also expected to announce its decision on bet refunds.

"We will review the AFL decision and all the ramifications of Essendon being demoted to finish in ninth position has on a wide range of AFL betting markets before announcing... what refunds or payouts we will be making in the best interests of our customers,'' a TAB spokesperson said.
