Player Specific Markets

All player selections will be considered active if a player enters the court as an active player at any point of the relevant match, regardless of whether the selection in question references a specific period of the match.
If a player never enters the court during a match, selections specific to that player will be void. For instance, a selection on a certain player to score 10.5+ points in the second half would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player played the first two minutes of a match, was injured, and did not return to the game, regardless of having never been on the court during the second half. However, if said player was withdrawn from the starting line-up (or bench) and never took to the court, the selection and therefore bet would be void.

Bet Builder General Rules

All basketball SGM selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. If one or more selections in any bet are resulted as void for any reason the entire bet will be resulted as void.

‘Race to X’ selections where neither team reaches the selected score will be settled as losers, regardless of whether a ‘neither team to reach X’ selection was available as an alternate selection or not.
