General American Football Rules

• At least ten minutes of official time must elapse in the fourth quarter for bets to stand.
• Overtime counts for all markets unless stated otherwise.
• Abandoned or postponed games must be resumed or rescheduled within 60 hours of the initial kick-off time for bets to stand, otherwise bets will be voided. The initial kick off time will be determined based upon the NFL's schedule of the game time during the current scheduling week, and will not include any prior rescheduling. For example: A Playoff game between the Bills and Steelers is moved from Saturday at 1pm EST to Monday at 4:30pm EST will stand and all bets will be settled as per results.
• All settlements are based on results and statistics provided by the relevant league's governing body:

www.cfl.ca
www.ncaa.org

• We reserve the right to suspend any or all betting on a game at any time without notice.
• Handicap betting: In Handicap, Total betting, where the index (value) of the market is a whole number, bets are void and will be refunded where the score lands on that number.
• All Outright markets include playoffs where applicable.
• For settlement purposes the team listed second in the event name is always considered the Home Team. Example: Team A v Team B or Team A @ Team B - Team B is the Home Team.
• Where you have placed a bet on a number of players to achieve a given outcome in a particular event, your bet will be voided if any of the selected players do not take part in such event.  For example, if you have placed a bet on players A, B and C to each score a touchdown in a specified match, your bet will be voided (in its entirety) if players A and B score a touchdown but player C does not take part in the match (for the avoidance of doubt, your bet will be settled as a losing bet if players A and B score a touchdown but player C takes part and does not score a touchdown).
• Regular Season Wins: Team must play all 17 regular season games for bets to stand.
• For settlement purposes, "Team Defence" selections do not include Special Teams.
