Rules for Fanatics Sportsbook

Effective Date: July 24, 2024

Introduction

The general betting rules set out here are subject to modification at any time at the sole discretion of Fanatics Sportsbook, subject to regulatory approval. Revisions will be binding and effective immediately on the posting out to customers of such rule changes and any bets accepted after the rule changes have been posted shall be governed by the new rules. There are exceptions or variations to these rules for certain sports. Sport-specific rules will take precedence over the general betting rules where there are exceptions or variations made. Player specific markets and same-game parlays have a unique set of rules which are also included in this document. Fanatics Sportsbook customers should make themselves aware of all of the House Rules affecting any market on which they wish to place a bet. Whilst every effort is made to offer a comprehensive rulebook, any matter that is not covered by these rules will be decided on an individual basis by Fanatics Sportsbook.

Prohibited Patrons

Fanatics Sportsbook will not accept or payout any wagers from Prohibited Patrons including:

• Any individual that is under 21 years old;
• Any individual on any exclusion list;
• Any individual making a wager on the account of or for any other person;
• Any collegiate, amateur or professional athlete, referee, official, coach, manager, handler or athletic trainer or employee or contractor of a team or athletic organization who has access to nonpublic or exclusive information concerning an athlete or team that engages in sports wagering on a sporting event or the performance of an individual in a sporting event in which the person or team is participating.

Anti-Money Laundering Standards

Wagers are subject to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) standards, including triggers and requirements for filing of Currency Transaction Reports and Suspicious Activity Reports. Structuring of bets to avoid federal currency transactional reporting thresholds is strictly prohibited.

Funding of Wagers

Customers may fund their Fanatics Sportsbook account using any of the following methods: (1) debit cards; (2) PayPal; (3) Venmo; (4) ApplePay; (5) Online Banking; (6) PaySafe Cash; or (7) wire transfer.

Wager Type Calculations

 

• Moneyline: The moneyline is expressed as a multi-digit number. For example, -150 means a player must bet $150 for every $100 they wish to win, and multiples thereof. Or, +140 means a player will win $140 for every $100 bet.
• Point spread: The point spread is expressed as a 3-digit number. For example, -110 means a player must bet $110 for every $100 they wish to win. Or, +225 means a player will win $225 in addition to their initial stake for every $100 bet.
• Parlay: Odds will be calculated based on the prices of the individual selections.
• Teaser: Odds are derived from a fixed payout chart.

Fanatics Sportsbook provides customers with the option to display odds in decimal format, which will be displayed rounded to the second decimal place. Payout amounts will be calculated based on the full decimal value of the bet and then rounded to the nearest two decimal places (cents).  

Notification of Odds or Line Changes

Fanatics Sportsbook displays real time-lines, current odds, and potential payouts when placing wagers. Line change notifications may occur at any time during the wager placement process. Customers will be notified within the betslip if any odds for their selection(s) change against their favor. Fanatics Sportsbook may automatically accept odds changes that occur after bet placement in the customer’s favor.

Fanatics Sportsbook only accepts wagers on currently posted terms unless otherwise noted for a specific circumstance.

Wager Resulting

• All markets will be settled on the basis of official scoring providers or statistics provided by the governing body of the specified sport. In the event of any discrepancies between data of official scoring providers and that of tournament websites, the data of official scoring providers will take precedence.

Types of Wagers Accepted

• Moneyline & Straight Bets (Winner of Event/Tournament/Competition)
• 3-Way Winner (Includes Tie)

• A 3-way betting market on the winner of a matchup between two participants where the option of a tie is also offered.

• Spread/Handicap (2-Way and 3-Way)

• A market where a handicap is applied to the side taken by the customer. Where a positive handicap is taken, the selection chosen will have the stated handicap added to their score before a result is determined. Where a negative handicap is taken, the selection chosen will have the stated handicap deducted from their score before a result is determined. In 3-way markets a tie will be offered in the event that scores finish level after a handicap is applied. In 2-way markets where the result is tied bets will be settled as a push.

• Totals (2-Way and 3-Way)

• A market where the customer can bet on the total number of points (or equivalent scoring metric). The customer can choose whether they think the total will be higher or lower than the stated number. In a 3-way market, the customer can choose to bet on the exact midpoint of the total which will be offered as an integer.

• Teasers (Fixed odds parlay betting)

• A teaser is a parlay of at least two legs, where a customer can choose to alter the point spread or total by a fixed amount for each of their selections. In exchange they will receive a fixed minimum price on their parlay, regardless of which games they select, and which side of the original spread or total they choose to tease.  

• Odds Boosts (Increased odds promotions on specific selections)

• Odds Boosts are offered as a promotional bet on specific selections or markets. Odds Boosts can be offered as a straight up single wager, or a packaged parlay of two or more selections.

• Player Specific Props

• Player Specific Props allow the customer to bet on any of the accepted market types associated with player stats during a game. These are generally offered as 2-way Totals or Straight Bets on a stated outcome. Examples of these would be Quarterback Over/Under passing yards in a Football game, or a stated player to hit a Home Run in a Baseball game.

• Game Specific Props

• Game Specific Props allow the customer to bet on propositions related to a specific game. These may include (but are not limited to):

• Time Period Specific Wagers (such as 1st Quarter winner)
• Totals for a specific stat category (such as total strikeouts in a game of Baseball)
• Straight bets speculating on a certain event to occur during a game (such as Both Teams to score 100+ points in a game of Basketball)

• Team Specific Props

• Team Specific Props allow the customer to bet on propositions related to a specific team within a game. These may include (but are not limited to):

• Time Period Specific Wagers (such as Team to Score in 1st Inning)
• Totals for a team specific category (such as Total Home Team points)
• Straight bets speculating on a certain event for a specific team to occur during a game (such as Home team to score in each quarter)

• Same Game Parlay

• Same Game Parlay bets combine two or more selections from within a single event. They are offered as a special market given the related nature of many selections within a standard event. Same Game Parlay bets enable the customer to bet on outcomes such as (but not limited to) the following:

• Home Team to win, over 39.5 Match Points & over 3.5 Field Goals
• Away Team to win, under 8.5 Runs & Away Team pitcher over 5.5 Strikeouts

• Futures/Outrights

• Futures markets allow the customer to bet on outright competition winners, as well as derivative markets such as a team to make the playoffs, or win their division.
• Awards (as specifically approved)

• Awards based markets allow the customer to bet on the recipient of season long or post season awards such as Most Valuable Player, or Offensive Player of the Year.

• In-game/In-play

• In-Play markets may be made up of any of the wager types listed above, but are offered once the event is deemed to be ‘live’. Odds are revised constantly based on the action occurring during the event.
• Next Occurrence of an event (e.g Goal/Touchdown/Run)

• ‘Next’ markets allow the customer to bet during a fixture on which team will be the first to complete the stated action, or what type of action will happen next. Examples of these include (but are not limited to):

• Next Touchdown
• Next Run Scored

• Mythical/Situational Match-Ups

• Mythical Match-Up bets allow the customer to match up two teams (or participants) that are facing different opponents in the given matchday, based on how many points they score. An example of this would be a mythical matchup offered between Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs. The winner of the market would be the team that scored a greater amount of points during their game.

• For example, if Georgia Bulldogs win 42-7 and Alabama Crimson Tide win 35-3 then the final score of the ‘Mythical Matchup’ would be Georgia Bulldogs 42 – 35 Alabama Crimson Tide, with Georgia Bulldogs settled as the winning selection.

• Parlay Betting

• Parlay betting allows the customer to place a wager on two or more selections, with the odds multiplied together. If any selection within a parlay bet loses the entire bet is deemed to be a loser.

• Round-Robin Parlay Betting

• A Round-Robin parlay allows the customer to place a series of wagers on two or more selections, from a greater amount of overall selections. For example, a customer could place three parlays covering two selections from an overall group of three selections. If two or more of these selections win then the customer would have at least one winning bet. Round Robin wagers cannot include selections from the same event. If selections from the same event are incorrectly wagered upon in a round robin, pending regulatory approval, Fanatics Sportsbook may settle the wager as if only one of the selections from the event are included.

• Example – A Customer wants to bet a Round-Robin parlay of two selections from three, meaning they bet on the following two team Parlays from the following fixtures; Team A to beat Team B, Team C to beat Team D, Team E to beat Team F:
• The customer would have three two-team parlays as follows:

• Team A & Team C
• Team A & Team E
• Team C & Team E

Amendments to events

• If an event is played at a different location to the one originally specified by the organizing body, bets will stand unless a fixture takes place at the home venue of the original visiting participant or team. In this instance selections will be made void. Please see sport specific rules for further exceptions.
• If the scheduled start time of an event is moved forwards or backwards by a period of more than 72 hours, selections will be made void. Sport-specific rules will take precedence here where a different amount of time is stated.
• In a team or individual sporting event, selections will be made void where there is a change to one or more of the teams or individual participants. For events such as tournaments with more than two entrants bets will stand.
• Where the eligible participants in an event are changed materially or conditions are significantly altered, Fanatics Sportsbook reserves the right to void an event in its entirety. For example, if a boxing match becomes unsanctioned and is held as an exhibition with a different rule set, or a soccer friendly which was originally advertised as ‘Team A v Team B’ becomes ‘Team A vs Team B Under 21s’.
• If the structure of an event is changed on an individual basis from the competition rulebook in the following ways Fanatics Sportsbook reserves the right to void selections:

• Stated changes in advance to the number of Period/Half/Quarter or adjustments to the lengths of these.
• Stated changes to scoring procedure, such as amendment to number of points awarded for meeting a certain criteria.
• Stated changes to the format of a team event such as a reduced/increased number of participants per team.

Additional Time

• For events that are settled by an additional period of play in the event of a tie, markets will be settled on the result at the end of the regulated period of play unless otherwise stated here, or in the Sport-specific rules.

• All bets on any 2-way ‘moneyline’ market will settle on the final result of the event including additional periods of play.

In-Play Betting

• If a market is not scheduled to be offered in-play but Fanatics Sportsbook fails to suspend the market at the relevant time, then:

• Bets taken after the advertised start time, where one is made available, will be made void, pending regulatory approval.
• Where no start time is made available Fanatics Sportsbook will aim to ascertain the start time via sources including competition organizers, licensed broadcaster time stamps, official team/participant social media updates. Bets placed after this start time will be made void, pending regulatory approval.

• If an in-play market is left open for betting after it has reached a conclusion or the result of the stated market has been determined then bets on this market will be made void regardless of their result, pending regulatory approval.

• For the purposes of in-play betting, customers should be aware that transmissions described as “live” by some broadcasters may actually be delayed or pre-recorded. The extent of any delay may vary depending on the set-up through which they are receiving pictures or data. Please also be aware that, for operational reasons, bets made in-play may be subjected to a delay. If a selection is suspended or the odds change during this delay Fanatics Sportsbook reserves the right not to accept the bet.

• Fanatics Sportsbook will make every effort to ensure that accurate data is displayed in accompaniment to in-play events. However, due to some reliance on third party data and the existence of human error Fanatics Sportsbook cannot guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of live scores, time remaining and the status of games displayed within our live betting product. Fanatics Sportsbook accept no liability for the incorrect display of this information

Market Settlement/Re-Settlement

• Events will be settled as per the result passed directly from the governing body of the chosen sport or organization or by the official data provider. Results will be considered final 24 hours following their announcement. Fanatics Sportsbook reserves the right to await official confirmation in the event of inquiries/appeals within this 24 hour window following an event. Subsequent disqualifications or amendments to results will not count towards settlement.

• If no official result is passed by the usual sources Fanatics Sportsbook will determine a result using independent sources. This will take place within 72 hours of the event reaching a conclusion. If these sources conflict with an official result which is subsequently passed by an official data provider or governing body within 48 hours of bet settlement then Fanatics Sportsbook will resettle the market according to the official source.

• Where no reliable result can be sourced within a 12 hour timeframe of the event reaching a conclusion Fanatics Sportsbook reserves the right to make bets on the affected market(s) void, subject to regulatory approval.

• Where cross-event specials are offered on a group of events within a day, period of time or specified game week bets will be settled as void if one or more of the nominated events does not take place. This does not include playoff specials or any other ‘best-of’ formats where extra games are not needed due to an early victory for one of the participants.

• In player statistic markets offered on a single event, a player will be settled as void if they are not named to an active matchday roster/squad.

• Fanatics Sportsbook reserves the right to amend the settlement of a market if it is settled in error, pending regulatory approval. This can be caused by, but not limited to:

• Human error by the Sportsbook itself.
• Technical error.
• Data error received from an official source.

• If Fanatics Sportsbook resettles a market this may lead to adjustments being made to a customer’s balance. In some instances this may result in the deduction of funds from a customer’s Account to reflect changes in market settlement.

• Fanatics Sportsbook may be required by law to seek approval with the relevant regulatory body before making any amendments to a price, settlement decision or bet status.

• Markets can be offered using ‘All Bets are Action’ rules. If a market is offered ‘All Bets are Action’, bets on this market will not be voided where a selection does not participate or is withdrawn early from an event.

• If a player, team or other competitor has taken any part in a sporting event once it has officially started and then fails to complete that event for any reason, that selection will be deemed to have been an active runner in the event, and bets on such selections will not be voided as ‘no-action’. Specific sport rules determine the definition of a player or team being deemed to have ‘taken part’ in an event. In the absence of a sport specific rule the following will apply:

• At a team level, a team is deemed to have taken part if they compete in any organized event affiliated with the offered markets, including qualifying events.
• In individual participation events (such as stroke play golf, singles tennis etc) a competitor is deemed to have taken part if they took any action related to participating within an event, with examples given below;

• Playing a golf stroke.
• Facing a serve.
• Starting or joining a race.

• In team events, an individual team member will be considered to have taken part if they entered the field/arena of play at any point during active game time, regardless of whether they completed an action related to the sport or competition involved.

Amendment/Cancellations to Futures Markets

Where a futures market has different rules these will be referred to in the Sport-Specific Rules. In the absence of these rules the following will apply in general to all futures markets.

• If a tournament which has been offered as a futures market is shortened due to unforeseen events such as (but not limited to) strike action, lockdowns due to a pandemic, cancellations due to war/terrorism Fanatics Sportsbook will settle markets according to the official result declared by the organizing body. If no announcement regarding resumption, amendment or cancellation is made by the organizing body within 60 days of the initial announcement regarding the postponement or delay of the competition then bets will be made void. If the competition resumption date is announced within this 60 day period and the competition is to be resumed and played out in full at a later date then all bets will stand.

• If a winner (sole or joint) is declared based on current standings then this will be acknowledged and bets on these selections will be settled as winners accordingly. Bets on other selections will be settled as losers.
• If the organizing body declares that the tournament is abandoned and no winner is declared bets will be made void.
• In markets where the full result of all available selections has already been determined settlement will be allowed to stand. For example if a 17 game NFL regular season is cut short after 13 games and a market has been offered on a team to win Over/Under 7.5 games, if that team has already won 8 games then the market will be settled in full. Similarly, if at time of postponement the same team has won a total of 1 game, the market would once again be settled in full, due to the fact that the nominated team could only possibly reach a total of 5 wins.
• In markets where the full result of available selections has not been determined bets will be made void. For example if a 17 game NFL regular season is cut short after 13 games and a market has been offered on a team to win Over/Under 7.5 games, if that team has won 6 games at the time of postponement the market will be made void.
• If changes are made to the remainder of a tournament which alters the structure of a competition resulting in a change to the number of teams able to participate in the post season/playoffs stage of a tournament then all bets placed on markets relating to post season/playoffs that were not previously determined by a definitive result will be made void. For example if before the tournament was shortened there was an expected playoff field of 14 teams and this is reduced to 8 teams, selections within markets such as ‘To make the playoffs’ which had been previously undetermined will be made void.
• If a bet was placed on a team to meet a certain criteria and this has already been settled as a winner based on original competition rules, Fanatics Sportsbook will honor the original settlement of a market and not seek to re-settle bets based on amended rulings by a governing body. For example, if a team had already clinched a playoff berth and markets such as ‘To make the playoffs’ had been settled accordingly, these markets would remain settled if the playoff field was subsequently reduced and the nominated team were removed from the competition.

Abandoned, Canceled, Postponed or Forfeited Events

These rules should be referred to in the absence of a Sport-specific ruling. Where such ruling exists it shall take precedence over the rules laid out in this section of the rulebook.

• In the event that a single fixture within a tournament, a one off event, race or similar meeting is abandoned, canceled, postponed or forfeited, bets will be made void unless the event is scheduled to start within 48 hours of the cancellation. In the instance of events which are abandoned, canceled or forfeited after play has commenced, markets that have been determined in full will be settled as per usual rules. For example, If a baseball match is abandoned with the score at 5-4 after 5 innings, bets placed on Over/Under 8.5 runs would be settled in full given the market had already reached a definitive result. Bets placed on Over/Under 9.5 runs would be settled as void given the lack of a definitive result.
• If a competition or tournament consisting of more than a single fixture, or a multi participant tournament (such as a golf event) is abandoned, canceled, postponed or forfeited, bets will be settled according to any result passed by the organizing body, or in the absence of such a result after a period of 48 hours from cancellation bets will be made void. In the instance of events which are abandoned, canceled or forfeited after play has commenced, markets that have been determined in full will be settled as per usual rules.For example, if a golf tournament is canceled during the third round of play after the cut has already been made, bets on players to make or miss the cut would be settled in full.
• In circumstances where no definitive winner is named at the end of play due to a tied score or other stalemates, where no option has been provided to bet on a ‘tie’, ‘draw’ or equivalent outcome bets will be settled as follows;

• In two-way markets both selections will be settled as a void, also referred to as a ‘push’.
• In multi-runner markets where joint winners are declared, any participant who is awarded a share of the victory will be settled as a winner with a dead heat reduction based on the number of other winners. Other selections would be settled as losers.
• In multi-runner markets where no winner is declared all selections will be settled as void.
• In markets where no winner was possible no losers will be settled, regardless of whether any of the selections definitively has no chance of winning the event. For example, if a 7 game playoff series is shortened by the governing body to a 5 game series with the current score at 1-1, bets on 4-0 would not be settled as losers, despite the fact they had already lost at the point where market changes were made.

Dead Heat Settlement

• Where a market has concluded and there are more winners than were expected given the market name and terms, where no tie break exists to determine a sole winner, bets will be settled as ‘dead heat’ with stakes divided by the number of winners.
• Dead Heat Calculation is as follows: (Original Stake * (Number of Expected Winners / Number of Actual Winners)) * Original Odds.

• For example, if a customer places a $10 stake at odds of +1500 (16.0) on the futures market ‘Passing Touchdowns Leader’ and their chosen selection finishes in a three way tie, the stake would be divided by the number of winners (three in this instance) and settled accordingly. The customer would receive a return of $53.33 on the bet ($3.33 at odds of +1500).
• If one or more legs of a parlay is affected by a “Dead-Heat” then the original parlay stake is reduced accordingly. For example, if one leg of a three-leg parlay is affected by a dead heat with four players tied for one place, the original parlay stake would be divided by four and the returns calculated using the original parlay odds.

Obvious Errors

Fanatics Sportsbook makes every effort to ensure that it does not make any obvious errors when accepting bets. However, if as a result of technical failure or human error, a bet is accepted in obvious error, Fanatics Sportsbook reserves the right to, subject to regulatory approval, either:

• Correct any obvious errors by settling winning bets at the ‘correct price,’ as reasonably determined by Fanatics Sportsbook
• Void any bet placed where such errors have occurred.

Obvious errors include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Wagers offered or placed on events after the outcome is already known;
• Wagers offered or placed at odds being clearly incorrect given the probability of the event occurring;
• Instances of human error in the placement of the wager;
• Wagers offered or placed at odds that are materially different from those available on the public betting market; or
• Wagers offered or placed on a market where the incorrect teams are listed and/or listed in the incorrect order (i.e. Home Team listed as Away).

Duplicated Events/Selections

Fanatics Sportsbook will endeavor to prevent customers from betting on duplicated versions of the same selection, whether these are housed within one event or across multiple events. For example, if the same selection is offered simultaneously in both the pre-match and in-play section of the product offering, it will normally be placed under a restriction to ensure that these two selections cannot be placed in a parlay together, preventing customers from receiving greater odds for placing the same bet twice at an increased price. Similarly, opposite outcomes from the same event will be placed under the same restriction, preventing customers from placing bets that have no logical chance of winning as selections are in conflict with each other.

• Duplicate selections will be classified as any selection requiring the same outcome, for example in Basketball: a team to win the first quarter and the same team -0.5 handicap in the first quarter.
• Should any of these events be left open inadvertently, Fanatics Sportsbook reserves the right to cancel, pending regulatory approval, any related wagers that combine the duplicated selection. If the wager contains further unduplicated selections then the duplicated selection with the highest odds will be voided from the bet and the remainder of the bet will be allowed to stand.

Maximum Payouts

For all events the maximum payout limits apply on a per day basis. The maximum payout limits refer to the total returns on your bets, excluding your original stake. The maximum payouts shown below are shown in U.S. Dollars. If bets are placed in another currency, the maximum payout will be converted using the applicable exchange rate on the day of settlement of the bets. The maximum payout limit applies on a personal basis, but where Fanatics Sportsbook has reason to believe that a customer has acted as a group to circumvent these limits and produce multiple accounts or retail tickets, we reserve the right to limit this customer or group of customers to a single maximum payout.

The maximum payout for all events is currently $1,000,000. Exceptions will be listed within this section of the rulebook where appropriate.

Odds Boosts

Odds Boosts are offered as a promotional bet on specific selections or markets. Odds Boosts can be offered as a single wager, or a packaged parlay consisting of two or more selections.

If any selection within an Odds Boost is void under our Sportsbook House Rules or Sport-Specific Rules, the remaining selections will be used to determine the outcome of the wager at revised odds to reflect this. We will endeavor to keep the price boost reflected in the odds of the remaining leg(s).

Parlays

A parlay bet consists of two or more legs. A leg is defined as a chosen selection in any individual event market.

• Fanatics Sportsbook reserves the right to prevent the placement of certain selections within parlay bets in instances such as (but not restricted to):

• A belief that the selections contain related contingency. If a bet of such nature is accepted in error Fanatics Sportsbook may take the decision to settle such bets as singles.
• Where certain special markets are considered to be too complex to offer in multiples due to Fanatics Sportsbook being unable to block related contingency multiples.
• Where a trading decision is taken that the business does not wish to offer parlay betting on a certain event/market/selection.

• Where one or more legs of a parlay is void for any reason, the bet will be settled using the remaining selections, which will become a new parlay, or a single wager in the event that only one leg remains. Potential payout will be reduced to reflect the combined odds of the revised wager.

Same Game Parlay

A Same Game Parlay bet consists of two or more legs within the same event, allowed only on eligible Same Game Parlay events, or offered as a pre-packaged selection within the event by Fanatics Sportsbook. Same Game Parlay prices reflect the fact that some outcomes within an event are related, and therefore odds offered may be different to the full multiplied odds of all outcomes.

• Each sport has its own specific Same Game Parlay rules which should be referred to when querying the specific rules within a sport or event type.
• Where two or more Same Game Parlays bets are combined into a parlay bet (sometimes referred to as ‘Same Game Parlay Stack’) the rules refer to each specific Same Game Parlay within the bet. For example, if one of the Same Game Parlays has a selection that is void due to a player not taking any part in the bet, the remainder of the Same Game Parlay and the entire parlay will be settled according to the general sportsbook Parlay rules.
• If any selection within a Same Game Parlay is void under our Sportsbook House Rules or Sport-Specific Rules, the remaining selections will be used to determine the outcome of the wager and the odds will be adapted accordingly to reflect this.

Teasers

A teaser bet consists of two or more legs offered at predetermined odds, where a spread or total market is moved to an alternate line. A leg is defined as one or more chosen selections in any individual event market.

• If one or both legs in a two leg teaser are voided or settled as a push then the bet will be settled as a void.
• If one or more legs in any other teaser bet are voided or settled as a push, the teaser will be recalculated and settled at the odds that were offered at the reduced number of legs. If the total legs are reduced to one or less the entire bet will be made void.

Cash Out

Cash Out is a feature which is offered on selected singles and parlays. Cash Out allows you to amend your original bet by settling your bet (or a portion of your bet) early, without having to wait for the event to finish.

• For a variety of reasons (including, but not limited to, technical issues, human error, suspicions of fraud or other improprieties and/or other issues outside of our control), Fanatics Sportsbook cannot guarantee the availability at all times of the Cash Out functionality, even where the functionality has been advertised in connection with a particular event. Please be aware and accept, therefore, that unless Cash Out is available and successfully exercised in connection with a particular bet, your initial bet will, unless otherwise provided in accordance with these Sportsbook House Rules, stand as originally placed.
• Upon cashing out a message will be shown to acknowledge the successful Cash Out and your bet (or the relevant portion of your bet) will be settled immediately and any returns added to your account equal to the Cash Out offer previously accepted. This return includes the original stake (or portion of stake in the instance of a partial Cash Out). For a full Cash Out, the bet is settled and any subsequent events will have no impact on the amount returned to your account; this including the voiding of an abandoned event. For a partial Cash Out, part of your bet is settled and any subsequent events will only impact on the portion of your bet which you have not Cashed Out.
• Cash Out is not currently available on all markets. Fanatics Sportsbook will endeavor to signpost the markets that support Cash Out.
• Several promotions which require a qualifying bet to be placed are considered disqualified if the qualifying bet is cashed out. Please check individual terms and conditions for a promotion before bet placement for confirmation.
• Cash Out values are reflective of current odds and are therefore bound by the sportsbook rules relating to technical or human error. These can be found in the rulebook section entitled ‘Obvious Errors’. If an incorrect Cash Out offer is presented to a customer due to a technical fault and then subsequently accepted, Fanatics Sportsbook reserves the right to resettle the bet using the correct Cash Out offer, pending regulatory approval.

Miscellaneous

• Fanatics Sportsbook maintain the right to refuse any bet, or to offer a revised stake to a customer. If Fanatics Sportsbook elects to offer a revised stake to a customer, the customer will be required to re-accept the bet before it is placed. Fanatics Sportsbook will not automatically accept any wager that is offered at a revised stake.
• If a wager is placed on an offered market that is non-compliant by that states' regulatory body, the wager will be voided and the stake returned, subject to regulatory approval of the PGCB.
• If a wager is placed on an offered market that has not already occurred or is in process and that market is subsequently deemed non-compliant by that states’ regulatory body or emergency order, the wager will be voided and the stake returned, pending regulatory approval.
• All references within the rulebook to times of day will refer to the local time zone where the match is taking place. All start times displayed on the website or retail outlet will be displayed in the time zone chosen by the customer, or a default time zone presented by Fanatics Sportsbook.
• Customers have the ultimate responsibility for placing their bet on the intended selection. For example, if players with the same first (forename) and last (surname) are held on the site simultaneously, the customer should ensure that their chosen player is listed under the correct event and market name. Where Fanatics Sportsbook has failed to reasonably distinguish between players with similar or identical names both within the event itself and in the selection name within the betslip, it will be acknowledged that the customer had no way of determining which selection they were betting on, and bet settlement will take this into account for multi-selection markets, pending regulatory approval, such as Anytime Touchdown Scorer. For example, in an NFL game featuring players Tyreek Hill and Taysom Hill, were a selection offered in touchdown scorer markets under the name “T.Hill”, Fanatics Sportsbook will consider this bet to have action on both of the aforementioned players. A reasonable distinction would be considered as “Tay.Hill” and “Ty.Hill”.
• Fanatics Sportsbook may, in its sole and absolute discretion, decide to suspend betting on a market at any time. In the interests of maintaining integrity and fairness in the markets, Fanatics Sportsbook may also void certain bets in a market or void a whole market in its entirety, subject to regulatory approval.

Sport-Specific Rules

As stated in the general rules section, these rules are to take precedence over the general rules where there is duplication. For example, if a general rule states that results will be considered official after 24 hours, but the Sport-specific rule uses a time period of 48 hours, then the sport-specific 48 hour ruling will be used.

Football

General Football Rules

• All bets include overtime unless otherwise stated.
• Games must start in the same scheduling week of the league for bets to have action.

• For the NFL, the scheduling week is Thursday-Wednesday.
• For the NCAA, the scheduling week is Tuesday-Monday.
• For all other Football leagues the scheduling week will be considered as Monday-Sunday.

• If a non-playoff game is paused before the indicated time has been played, and not completed within 48 hours of the scheduled start date, bets will be void except where the specific market outcome is already determined.
• In the instance of a halted playoff game, all bets will remain open until completion of the game as determined by the league’s governing body. If either team is awarded the win without resumption of the game, non-playoff games rules will be referred to when determining bet settlement.
• If a game is halted and then replayed in full rather than being resumed, all bets on the original game will be made void.
• If a game venue is changed to a neutral site and the home team remains designated as such, bets will stand.
• If a game venue is changed to the away team’s home stadium or a site where the away team are now listed as the home team, bets placed on the original game will be void.
• In 2-way markets, push rules apply unless otherwise stated.
• Games which are forfeited without play will not count as a game played or completed (or any other similar term) for settlement purposes. Wins or losses accrued from forfeits will count towards criteria in futures markets (such as playoff qualification, futures outright betting etc)
• For markets related to instances of scoring (e.g. Next Scoring Play, Anytime Scorer), extra point and 2 point conversions after touchdowns are not considered, unless otherwise stated.
• In touchdown scorer markets, the player who is considered to possess the ball when the ball is initially on, above, or behind the plane of the opponents' goal line as determined by the on-field officiating crew (and subsequent replay reviews) will be considered the winning selection. For example, if a passing touchdown is scored, the receiver of the ball will be considered the winner, the player completing the pass will not be settled as a winner.
• In the absence of a statistical result being provided by the official organizing body for any market that is required for settlement, Fanatics Sportsbook will seek a reputable independent source for bet settlement.

Football Market Rules

Moneyline

Generally a 2-way market based on the outcome of the game. The 2-way Moneyline is inclusive of Overtime and is a bet on the winner of the event.

• Where a 2-way market is offered listing each team as betting options, bets will be settled according to the winner at the end of play, including (where required) any period of overtime. If no winner is determined and the game is considered a tie, bets will be considered and the market will be graded a push and made void.
• Where a 3-way market is offered listing each team and the ‘tie’ as betting options, bets will be settled according to the result;

• At the end of overtime in a regular season game.
• At the end of regulation time in a postseason game.

• Where the period of play is referred to in the name of the market (For example ‘60 Minute Moneyline’, or ‘Regulation Moneyline’) the market name will determine at which point the market will be settled.

1st/2nd Half & 1st/2nd/3rd/4th Quarter Moneyline

Generally a 2-way market based on the outcome of a nominated portion of the game. All markets are exclusive of overtime with the exception of Match and 2nd Half markets, both of which include overtime.

• Where a 2-way market is offered listing each team as betting options, bets will be settled according to the winner at the end of the nominated time period of play. If no winner is determined and the period of play is considered a tie, bets will be considered a push, and the market will be made void.
• Where a 3-way market is offered listing each team and the ‘tie’ as betting options, bets will be settled according to the result at the end of the nominated period of play.

Point Spread/Handicap (Including 1st/2nd/3rd/4th Quarter & 1st/2nd Half Point Spread/Handicap)

A point spread/handicap bet allows the customer to bet on whether a team with a minus spread will win by more than a specific number of points, or a team with a plus spread will win outright or lose by less than a specific number of points.

A point spread or handicap bet applies the stated spread to the chosen selection and considers this number to be added or subtracted from the final score. All markets are exclusive of overtime with the exception of Match and 2nd Half markets, both of which include overtime.

• For 2-way markets where a whole point number is used as the specified spread the outcome will be considered a push and the market voided when the scores finish tied after the spread is applied. For example if a customer were to bet Team A (-3.0) versus Team B and the final score was 24-21 to Team A, then the market would be considered a push.
• Unless otherwise stated all handicaps and spreads are to be calculated based on the result from the start of the listed period to the end of the specified period. For example, a 3rd quarter spread would only reference the points that were scored within the 3rd quarter of play. In this example, if the score is 14-14 at the start of the 3rd quarter and 21-17 at the end of the 3rd quarter, then the scoreline referenced in the 3rd quarter spread bet would be 7-3.
• In a 3-way spread market, the tie is also offered, giving the customer 3 options to place their bet on. In these markets if the scores would be tied after the spread is applied to either selection then the tie would be considered the winning selection. For example if a market was offered with Team A (-4) versus Team B including the option of a tie and the final score was 28-24 to Team A, then the tie would be considered the winning selection in this market.

Total Points & Total Team Points (Including 1st/2nd/3rd/4th Quarter & 1st/2nd Half Total Points)

A total points bet provides an opportunity to bet on whether the number of points scored in the game or by a team (within a stated time period) will be less than or greater than the number offered. All markets are exclusive of overtime with the exception of Match and 2nd Half markets, both of which include overtime.

• For 2-way markets where a whole point number is used as the specified total the outcome will be considered a push and the market voided when the score finishes exactly as the offered total. For example if a customer were to bet on ‘Over 45.0 Points’ and the final score was 24-21 then the market would be considered a push.
• Unless otherwise stated all total points bets are calculated based on the result from the start of the listed period to the end of the specified period. For example, a 3rd quarter total points bet would only reference the points that were scored within the 3rd quarter of play. In this example, if the score is 14-14 at the start of the 3rd quarter and 21-17 at the end of the 3rd quarter, then the 3rd quarter total points would be 10.
• In a 3-way Total Points market, an option to bet on the exact number of points scored is also offered, giving the customer 3 options to place their bet on. In these markets if the total points finishes on the selection entitled ‘Exactly X Points’ then this selection would be settled as a winner. For example if a market was offered containing the selections ‘Under 49 Points’ ‘Exactly 49 Points’ and ‘Over 49 Points’ and the final score was 28-21, then the selection ‘Exactly 49 Points’ would be settled as a winner, with the other selections settled as losers.

Winning Margin

This market offers the customer the chance to bet on what the margin of victory will be, choosing from a selection of points bands, for example 1-9 points, 10-19 points etc. The market can be offered with either team specific or general game based selections. Overtime will count towards the settlement of this market.

Double Result (Also referred to as Half-Time/Full-Time)

This market offers the customer the chance to bet on what the result of the game will be at Half-Time and the end of Regulation time. Overtime does not count towards the settlement of this market. The tie is offered on both the half-time and full-time element of the bet, meaning all combinations within the regulation period of play are offered. If the game is suspended before the completion of regulation time, then the market will be resulted as a void.

Correct Score

This market offers the customer the chance to bet on what the exact score of the game will be at the end of play, including overtime where necessary. Selections can be offered without being attributed to a specific team, or with the named teams being allocated one of the two totals each. For example, a selection such as “24-21” would be a winner if either team won by such a scoreline, whereas “Team A 24- 21 Team B” would require the exact score to be achieved by each team.

In instances such as this, the score at the time the game is halted will be considered to be the final score referred to for all wagers.
• If a non-playoff game is paused before the indicated time has been played, and not completed within 48 hours of the scheduled start date, bets will be void except where the specific market outcome is already determined.
• In the instance of a halted playoff game, all bets will remain open until completion of the game as determined by the league’s governing body. If either team is awarded the win without resumption of the game, non-playoff games rules will be referred to when determining bet settlement.

Basketball Market Rules

Moneyline

Generally a 2-way market based on the outcome of the game. The 2-way Moneyline is inclusive of Overtime and is a bet on the winner of the event.

Point Spread/Handicap (Including 1st/2nd/3rd/4th Quarter & 1st/2nd Half Point Spread/Handicap)

A point spread/handicap bet allows the customer to bet on whether a team with a minus spread will win by more than a specific number of points, or a team with a plus spread will win outright or lose by less than a specific number of points.

A point spread or handicap bet applies the stated spread to the chosen selection and considers this number to be added or subtracted from the final score. Bets on the outcome of the whole game are inclusive of overtime, bets placed on the 4th quarter are exclusive of overtime.

• For 2-way markets where a whole point number is used as the specified spread the outcome will be considered a push and the market voided when the scores finish tied after the spread is applied. For example if a customer were to bet Team A (-3.0) versus Team B and the final score was 103-100 to Team A, then the market would be considered a push.
• Unless otherwise stated all handicaps and spreads are to be calculated based on the result from the start of the listed period to the end of the specified period. For example, a 3rd quarter spread would only reference the points that were scored within the 3rd quarter of play. In this example, if the score is 50-50 at the start of the 3rd quarter and 72-69 at the end of the 3rd quarter, then the scoreline referenced in the 3rd quarter spread bet would be 22-19.
• In a 3-way spread market, the tie is also offered, giving the customer 3 options to place their bet on. In these markets if the scores were to be tied after the spread is applied to either selection then the tie would be considered the winning selection. For example if a market was offered with Team A (-4) versus Team B including the option of a tie and the final score was 108-104 to Team A, then the tie would be considered the winning selection in this market.

Total Points & Total Team Points (Including 1st/2nd/3rd/4th Quarter & 1st/2nd Half Total Points)

A total points bet provides an opportunity to bet on whether the number of points scored in the game or by a team (within a stated time period) will be less than or greater than the number offered. Bets on the outcome of the whole game are inclusive of overtime, bets placed on the 4th quarter are exclusive of overtime.

• For 2-way markets where a whole point number is used as the specified total the outcome will be considered a push and the market voided when the score finishes exactly as the offered total. For example if a customer were to bet on ‘Over 205.0 Points’ and the final score was 104-101 then the market would be considered a push.
• Unless otherwise stated all total points bets are calculated based on the result from the start of the listed period to the end of the specified period. For example, a 3rd quarter total points bet would only reference the points that were scored within the 3rd quarter of play. In this example, if the score is 50-50 at the start of the 3rd quarter and 73-71 at the end of the 3rd quarter, then the 3rd quarter total points would be 44.
• In a 3-way Total Points market, an option to bet on the exact number of points scored is also offered, giving the customer 3 options to place their bet on. In these markets if the total points finishes on the selection entitled ‘Exactly X Points’ then this selection would be settled as a winner. For example if a market was offered containing the selections ‘Under 209 Points’ ‘Exactly 209 Points’ and ‘Over 209 Points’ and the final score was 109-100, then the selection ‘Exactly 209 Points’ would be settled as a winner, with the other selections settled as losers.

Baseball Pitcher Action Rules

• Betting opportunities that specify the starting pitchers for both teams or either team are known as a ‘Listed Pitchers’ bet. The name(s) of the listed pitcher(s) who are associated with the bet will be included in the market name. If one (or both) of the starting pitchers listed do not start, the bet is made void.
• All betting opportunities that do not specify the starting pitchers will have action regardless of which pitchers start the game. These bets will stand unless events during the game such as abandonment give cause for markets to be made void.
• In live betting markets where a pitcher is named the bet will stand only if the listed pitcher remains on the mound until the market reaches a conclusion. If the pitcher is not specified in the market name, then all bets have action regardless of pitcher changes.

Baseball Market Rules

Moneyline

A 2 or 3-way market based on the outcome of the game. The 2-way Moneyline is inclusive of Extra Innings and is a bet on the winner of the event. All 3-way moneyline markets are resulted at the end of 9 innings.

• Where a 2-way market is offered listing each team as betting options, bets will be settled according to the winner at the end of play, including (where required) any extra innings played. If no winner is determined and the game is called a tie, bets will be considered a push, and the market will be made void.
• Where a 3-way market is offered listing each team and the ‘tie’ as betting options, bets will be settled according to the result at the end of the regular number of expected innings as per the rulebook of the organizing body.
• In the result of a game being called early and a result being declared by the officiating crew and/or organizing body the following rules will apply;

• If less than 4.5 full innings are played then all bets will be made void.
• If 4.5 full innings or more have been played and the home team is in the lead then bets will be settled in full with the home team settled as the winner.
• If 5 full innings or more have been played and the away team is in the lead then bets will be settled in full with the away team settled as the winner.
• If the bottom of the 5th inning is in progress and the away team is in the lead then bets will be made void.
• If the scores are tied at the time of abandonment bets will be made void.

• If a moneyline market is offered as Listed Pitchers, bets are void if either pitcher does not start.

Total Runs & Total Team Runs (Including Innings Specific Totals)

A total runs bet provides an opportunity to bet on whether the number of runs scored in the game or by a team (within a stated time period) will be less than or greater than the number offered, within a scoring band and/or exact totals. Bets on the outcome of the whole game are inclusive of extra innings, bets placed on specific innings apply to that inning only and will not include runs scored in any extra period of play.

• For 2-way markets where a whole number is used as the specified total the outcome will be considered a push and the market voided when the score finishes exactly as the offered total. For example if a customer were to bet on ‘Over 9.0 Runs’ and the final score was 8-1 then the market would be considered a push.
• Unless otherwise stated all total runs bets are calculated based on the result from the start of the listed period to the end of the specified period. For example, a 3rd Innings Total Runs bet would only reference runs that were scored within the 3rd Inning of play. In this example, if the score is 1-0 at the start of the 3rd Inning and 2-2 at the end of the 3rd Inning, then the 3rd inning total runs would be 3.
• In a 3-way Total Runs market, an option to bet on the exact number of runs scored is also offered, giving the customer 3 options to place their bet on. In these markets if the total runs finishes on the selection entitled ‘Exactly X Runs’ then this selection would be settled as a winner. For example if a market was offered containing the selections ‘Under 9 Runs’ ‘Exactly 9 Runs’ and ‘Over 9 Runs’ and the final score was 7-2, then the selection ‘Exactly 9 Runs’ would be settled as a winner, with the other selections settled as losers.
• The game must go at least 9 full innings (8.5 innings if the home team is ahead resulting in the end of the game), unless the result of the market is already determined. In the event that the game does not go at least 9 full innings (8.5 innings if the home team is ahead resulting in the end of the game), bets will be void unless the result of the market is already determined.

• For games that are scheduled over 7 innings the game must go at least 7 full innings (6.5 innings if the home team is ahead resulting in the end of the game), unless the result of the market is already determined, and the game result is declared official. In the event that the game does not go at least 7 full innings (6.5 innings if the home team is ahead resulting in the end of the game), bets will be void unless the result of the market is already determined.

Run-Line/Spread (Including Innings Specific)

A Run-Line bet provides an opportunity to bet on whether a team with a minus spread will win by more than a specific number of runs, or a team with a plus spread will win outright or lose by less than a specific number of runs.

A Run-Line (or spread) bet applies the stated spread to the chosen selection and considers this number to be added or subtracted from the final score. Bets on the outcome of the whole game are inclusive of extra innings, bets placed on specific innings apply to that inning only and will not include runs scored in any extra period of play

• For 2-way markets where a whole run number is used as the specified spread the outcome will be considered a push and the market voided when the scores finish tied after the spread is applied. For example if a customer were to bet Team A (-3.0) versus Team B and the final score was 5-2 to Team A, then the market would be considered a push.
• Unless otherwise stated all Run-Line/Handicap bets are to be calculated based on the result from the start of the listed period to the end of the specified period. For example, an ‘8th Inning Run-Line’ would only reference the runs that were scored within the 8th Inning of play. In this example, if the score is 5-5 at the start of the 8th Inning and 7-5 at the end of the 8th Inning, then the scoreline referenced in the 8th Innings Run-Line bet would be 2-0.
• In a 3-way spread market, the tie is also offered, giving the customer 3 options to place their bet on. In these markets if the scores would be tied after the spread is applied to either selection then the tie would be considered the winning selection. For example if a market was offered with Team A (-1) versus Team B including the option of a tie and the final score was 6-5 to Team A, then the tie would be considered the winning selection in this market.
• The game must go at least 9 full innings (8.5 innings if the home team is ahead resulting in the end of the game), unless the result of the market is already determined, and the game result is declared official.

• For games that are scheduled over 7 innings the game must go at least 7 full innings (6.5 innings if the home team is ahead resulting in the end of the game), unless the result of the market is already determined, and the game result is declared official.

Correct Score

This market offers the customer the chance to bet on the exact score of the game/inning.

• Selections can be offered without being attributed to a specific team, or with the named teams being allocated one of the two totals each. For example, a selection such as “4-1” would be a winner if either team wins the match 4-1, whereas “Team A 4- 1 Team B” would require the exact score to be achieved by each team.
• By default this market will not include extra innings unless stated otherwise in the market name.

For pre-event player related markets, pitchers must start and throw at least one pitch for bets to have action. Hitters must start and record at least one plate appearance for bets to have action.

For in-play player related markets, pitchers must throw at least one pitch after the time of bet placement for bets to have action. Hitters must record at least one plate appearance after the time of bet placement for bets to have action.

Any selections that have already been unequivocally determined will be settled as such. For example, a player to hit a home run and they have already achieved this. Wagers placed on the under option will be settled as winners in the case of a player having less than a specified total of any Match Player Prop before leaving the field. In this same example, selections on the over option will be settled as a void.

On some occasions we may offer extra time betting which will be on the 30 minutes including injury time added in that period.
• All Soccer matches are action based on the periods of play being two halves of 45 minutes plus any additional added time for stoppages.

All other selections will be made void regardless of the score at the time of abandonment. Abandoned matches will be deemed to be matches which do not reach their natural conclusion by midnight local time on the day of the originally stated kick-off time.

Any results that are changed retrospectively, for example, but not limited to: dubious goals panel reviews, results reversed for ineligible players, will not alter the settlement of the market.
• For matches listed specifically as “Youth”, for the purpose of reference, “Youth” is a generic term & league/competition rules dictate who may or may not participate in these events.

An Asian Handicap bet allows the customer to bet on whether a team with a minus handicap will win by more than a specific number of goals, or a team with a plus handicap will win outright or lose by less than a specific number of goals.

A handicap bet applies the stated handicap to the chosen selection and considers this number to be added or subtracted from the final score. In Asian handicap betting there are three kinds of lines offered:

• Where a whole goal handicap is used the outcome will be considered a push and the market voided when the scores finish tied after the handicap is applied. For example if a customer were to bet Team A (-3.0) versus Team B and the final score was 3-0 to Team A, then the market would be considered a push.
• Where a half goal handicap is used there will always be a winning outcome and the market will be settled in full with one winner and one loser. For example if a customer were to bet Team A (-2.5) versus Team B and the final score was 3-0 to Team A, then Team A would be considered the winning selection.
• Where a quarter goal handicap is used, the customer is effectively placing half of their stake on each of the handicap lines either side of the quarter goal handicap. This can result in a full loss, a full win, a loss/push or a win/push. Examples of each method of settlement are below;

• If a customer were to bet Team A (-2.75) versus Team B and the final score was 2-0 to Team A, then the bet would be settled as a full loss.
• If a customer were to bet Team A (-2.75) versus Team B and the final score was 4-0 to Team A, then the bet would be settled as a full win.
• If a customer were to bet Team A (-2.75) versus Team B and the final score was 3-0 to Team A, then the bet would be settled as a win/push. Half of the stake would be placed on Team A -2.5 (Win) and half of the stake would be placed on Team A -3.0 (Push)
• If a customer were to bet Team A (-3.25) versus Team B and the final score was 3-0 to Team A, then the bet would be settled as a loss/push. Half of the stake would be placed on Team A -3.5 (Loss) and half of the stake would be placed on Team A -3.0 (Push)

Asian Total Goals/Goal Line

An Asian Total/Goal-Line bet allows the customer to bet on whether the number of goals scored in a game will be under or over the nominated total

In Asian Total/Goal-Line betting there are three kinds of lines offered:

• Where a whole goal total is used the outcome will be considered a push and the market voided when the scores finish tied after the handicap is applied. For example if a customer were to bet Over 3.0 Goals and the final score was 3-0 to Team A, then the market would be considered a push.
• Where a half goal handicap is used there will always be a winning outcome and the market will be settled in full with one winner and one loser. For example if a customer were to bet Over 2.5 Goals and the final score was 3-0 to Team A, then Team A would be considered the winning selection.
• Where a quarter goal handicap is used, the customer is effectively placing half of their stake on each of the total lines either side of the quarter goal total. This can result in a full loss, a full win, a loss/push or a win/push. Examples of each method of settlement are below;

• If a customer were to bet Over 2.75 Goals and the final score was 2-0 to Team A, then the bet would be settled as a full loss.
• If a customer were to bet Over 2.75 Goals and the final score was 4-0 to Team A, then the bet would be settled as a full win.
• If a customer were to bet Over 2.75 Goals and the final score was 3-0 to Team A, then the bet would be settled as a win/push. Half of the stake would be placed on Over 2.5 (Win) and half of the stake would be placed on Over 3.0 (Push)
• If a customer were to bet Over 3.25 Goals and the final score was 3-0 to Team A, then the bet would be settled as a loss/push. Half of the stake would be placed on Over 3.5 (Loss) and half of the stake would be placed on Over 3.0 (Push)
• If a customer were to bet under 2.75 Goals and the final score was 3-0 to Team A, then the bet would be settled as a loss/push. Half of the stake would be placed on Under 2.5 (Loss) and half of the stake would be placed on Under 3 (Push).

• Corners are added to the total after being taken, not when they are awarded. If a corner is given but not taken at the end of a half and the whistle to signal the end of that half is blown before the corner was taken, the corner is not added to the total. If a referee stoppage results in a corner being retaken this will not be added to the total, as the original corner is deemed to be a dead ball.

First/Last/Next Corner

A 3-way market offering the opportunity to predict which team will take the nominated corner. If the required corner is never taken then the selection entitled ‘No Corner’ will be settled as the winner. In the event this market is offered as a 2-way market and the required corner is never taken markets will be made void.

• Corners are added to the total after being taken, not when they are awarded. If a corner is given but not taken at the end of a half and the whistle to signal the end of that half is blown before the corner was taken, this corner will not count towards settlement.

Most Corners (3-Way)

• In a 3-way handicap market, the handicap tie is also offered, giving the customer 3 options to place their bet on. In these markets if the scores would be tied after the handicap is applied to either selection then the tie would be considered the winning selection.

The data sources used for settlement will be quoted within the market name or market notes, and/or included in this ruleset where relevant.

Soccer Lightning Bets

These markets offer the customer the opportunity to predict the amount of a given event (or combination of events) that will take place within a stated time period of the match. Timestamps will be determined as follows:

• Goals will be timed based on when the goal is scored. Time taken for VAR reviews or conversations between Referee and Assistant Referees is not considered, the moment that the ball crosses the goal-line is the official timestamp for goal related markets.
• A corner will be timed based on when it is awarded. Please note this differs from other Match/Team/Half corner markets, which settle based on the corner being taken.
