American Football
General Rules
Bets are settled on the official result and statistics as declared by the match’s governing body.
Unless otherwise stated, all match markets are settled on the official score at the end of the game, including any corrections made immediately at the venue. Subsequent amendments made after the initial official result will not affect settlement.
If a match is postponed and is not played within 48 hours of the original scheduled start time, all bets will be void unless settlement has already been determined.
If the match is abandoned and not completed within 48 hours, bets will be void unless settlement has already been determined.
Unless otherwise stated in the market name (e.g. “Including Overtime”), overtime does not count for:
Quarter markets (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Quarter).
Half-time Result and 1st Half markets.
Second Half markets labelled as “2nd Half Result” (regulation only).
Where “Including Overtime” is stated in the market name, overtime will count for settlement.
Player-specific markets stand if the player participates in at least one play at any point in the game, regardless of whether the market refers to a specific period (e.g. 2nd Half, 4th Quarter). If a player does not participate in a single play, markets specific to that player will be void.
Totals markets (including total points, team totals, total touchdowns and total field goals) will be settled if the outcome is already determined at the time of abandonment. If the outcome is not determined at abandonment, bets will be void.
For Odd/Even markets, a total of zero (0) is deemed even.
Safeties count as scoring plays for all “team to score” and “first/last team to score” markets.
Unless otherwise stated:
Touchdown scorer markets refer to rushing, receiving, defensive and special teams return touchdowns.
Passing touchdowns do not count as a touchdown for the passer in scorer markets.
Where there is no market-specific rule, settlement will be based on the general principles above.

Drive outcome is settled as:
Touchdown – if the drive ends in an offensive touchdown.
Field Goal – if the drive ends in a successful field goal.
Turnover – if the drive ends in an interception, lost fumble, turnover on downs, safety or defensive touchdown.
Punt – if the drive ends in a punt without another scoring or turnover condition being met.
For “New Set of Downs – Yes/No”, “Yes” is settled as a winner if the offense gains a first down at any point in the drive (including via penalty or scoring a touchdown).
For yard-line crossing markets, “Yes” is settled as a winner if the ball is spotted beyond the named yard line at any point in the drive.
Player Performance Markets
Bets are settled based on official game statistics.
A player must play at least one snap for bets to stand. If the player does not take part in any play, bets will be void.
Unless otherwise stated, overtime counts for player performance markets.
Bet Builder Rules (American Football)
Bet builders are bets that combine multiple selections from the same game into a single price.
All selections within a bet builder must win for the bet builder to be settled as a winner. If any single selection loses, the entire bet builder will be settled as a loser.
If a player included in any selection does not participate in a single play, the entire bet builder will be void.
If a match is postponed or incomplete, bet builders will stand if the game is resumed and completed within the same NFL scheduling week (Thursday–Wednesday, local stadium time). If the game is completed outside that scheduling week, the bet builder will be void.
For bet builders, all second half and fourth quarter markets will be settled including overtime where they relate to that half or quarter (for example, ‘2nd Half Total Points’ in a bet builder will include overtime points).
If a game is abandoned after starting and is not completed within the same scheduling week:
If every selection within the bet builder is already a winner, the bet builder will be settled as a winner.
If any selection within the bet builder is already a loser, the bet builder will be settled as a loser.
If there are no losing selections but at least one undecided selection, the bet builder will be void.
Venue Changes
If the venue of a match is changed from the one advertised, all bets on that match will be voided.
