Settlement of Wagers
Statistics provided by the official score(s) provider or the official website of the relevant competition or fixture will be used to settle wagers. Where statistics from an official score(s) provider or official website are not available or there is significant evidence that the official score(s) provider or official website is incorrect, we will use independent evidence to support bet settlement.
In the absence of consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.
General Rules
All games must start on the scheduled date (local stadium time) for bets to have action.
Interrupted Games
If a game is interrupted but subsequently resumed (from the point in the game at which it was interrupted) and played to a finish within 48 hours of the original scheduled game time, all bets will stand on the fixture.
Otherwise if the game is resumed but not finished within 48 hours of the original scheduled game time, this will be treated as an abandonment and bets on the original fixture will be void, except for those bets the outcome of which had already been determined, prior to the initial interruption in fixture.
If a game is interrupted for any reason, and is replayed in full, this will be treated as an abandonment and bets on the original fixture will be void, except for those bets the outcome of which had already been determined, prior to the initial interruption in fixture.
Match Venue
If a match venue is changed, bets already placed will stand providing the home team is still designated as such. If the home and away team for a listed match play the fixture at the away team venue then bets will stand providing the home team is still officially designated as such, otherwise bets will be void. For matches scheduled to be played at a neutral venue, bets will stand irrespective of how we list the fixture.
Game Formatting and Timing
Betting markets are based on scheduled 3 x 20 minute periods plus overtime/shootouts unless otherwise stated. If this scheduled format is not played then bets will be void, with the exception of game props where the result has already been determined.
There must be 5 minutes or less of scheduled game time left for bets to have action, unless the specific market outcome is already determined.
All Competitions/Matches (unless otherwise stated) - All Markets Pre-Game and In-Play
All bets include overtime/shootouts unless otherwise stated. In the event of a game being decided by a penalty shootout, then one goal will be added to the winning team's score and the game total for settlement purposes. This does not apply to markets that exclude overtime/shootouts if played.
2-Way Markets
In 2-Way markets Push rules apply. Stakes on single bets are returned, and in multiples/parlays the selection is treated as a non-runner.
3-Way Markets
3-Way markets are settled on the score at the end of regulation time, with the exception of When Will Game End which is a 3-Way market that includes overtime/shootouts.
Team Totals Odd or Even
If your team doesn't score bets will be settled as Even.
Markets Excluding Overtime and Shootouts
