These Specific Sports Rules form part of and should be read alongside the Sportsbook Rules.

American Football

The following rules include reasons for voiding bets. 

General

Bets will be settled on the results and statistics provided by the relevant governing body.

If less than 10 minutes of official time is played in the fourth quarter, then all bets placed on the relevant event will be void unless the outcome has been unconditionally determined.

Overtime counts for all markets unless otherwise stated.

For settlement purposes, the team listed second in the event name is always considered the ‘home team’ (even if the match takes place at a neutral venue). For example, Team A-Team B, Team B is the home team.

Abandonments, Cancellations and Postponements

Bets on abandoned or postponed matches are void unless played within the same scheduling week. In the event of a change of venue, all bets will be void.

Non-Runners, Withdrawals and Disqualifications

For ‘player Proposition’ markets, the player(s) in question must compete in at least 1 down for bets to stand.

Where a bet is placed on a number of players to achieve a given outcome in a particular event, your bet will be void if any of the selected players do not take part in such event.

Outright Markets

All Outright markets include playoffs where applicable.

Quarter and Half Markets

For bets based on the specific quarters or halves, the entire period of play must be played for bets to stand unless the result is already unconditionally determined. Overtime is not included.

1st Half Winner Markets

Bets will be void if the first half result is a tie.

Quarter Winner Markets

Bets will be void if the result of the quarter on which the bet was placed is a tie.

Double Result (Half time/Full time) Markets

Bets are settled on the score at half time and full time (excluding any overtime).

Handicap Betting (Spread)

If a Handicap draw selection (3-Way Handicap market) is offered, bets placed on the draw will only be settled as winning bets if by adding the bet selection points to the final score it equals a draw result.

If a Handicap draw selection is not offered (2-Way Handicap market), then bets will be void if by adding the bet selection points to the final score it equals a draw result. For example, if a bet is placed on Home Team -1 Spread and the game ends 9-8, then the bet will be void. This includes quarter and half markets.

Total Points Markets

If the total number of points scored is equal to the betting line (over/under) specified for the relevant market, bets will be void unless a section for an amount equal to the line is offered.

Winner and Total Points Markets

Bets will be void if the match finishes in a tie after overtime is played.

Race to X Points Markets

Bets will be void if no team reaches the specified points milestone.

First Offensive Play Yard Line Markets

The result is determined by where the first offensive play from scrimmage takes place.

If the kick-off is returned for a touchdown, bets will stand for the following kick-off.

In the event of a turnover, the result will be determined on where the first offensive play takes place with respect to the receiving team's yard line.

First Penalty Markets

Bets will be settled on the first accepted penalty in the match.

First Turnover and First Team to Commit a Turnover Markets

For results purposes, only an interception or a fumble counts.

A punt or 'turnover on downs' does not qualify as a turnover for settlement purposes.

If a match is abandoned, bets will be void unless a turnover has already taken place.

First Offensive Play Markets

If a false start penalty takes place on the first offensive play, bets will stand for the next offensive play that takes place without a false start penalty.

First Team, Last Team to Score and First, Last, Anytime, Next Touchdown Scorer Markets

If a match is abandoned, bets will stand on scores that have taken place already (and overtime counts for these markets).

Touchdown scorer markets are offered with the option of others on request.

For ’touchdown scorer’ markets, the winning selection is the player who possesses the ball in the endzone. For example, on a pass touchdown play, the receiver in the endzone will be settled as the winner, not the quarterback. Player(s) in question must compete in at least one down for bets to stand. If no touchdowns are scored, bets will be settled as losers unless ‘no touchdown scorer’ is selected.

Touchdown Scorer and Team to Win/Lose Markets

All bets will be void if the game finishes in a tie after overtime is played.

Regular Season Markets

The team must complete all originally scheduled regular season matches for bets to stand (otherwise they will be void).
