6. Basketball Betting Rules

6.1 Selection and Bet Results

All basketball selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this document, will be settled as a loser.

For instance, selections on a team to win a match where it is a draw after overtime (or normal time if no overtime is to be played), even where the draw or tie may not have been offered through Build A Bet, will be settled as losers. This will not be relevant to NBA or NBL matches as they play repeated overtime periods until a team wins but may be applicable to other basketball leagues or competitions as per their individual competition rules. Similarly, ‘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.

6.2 Overtime

All basketball matches will be settled on the official declared result including any overtime.

6.3 Second Half / Fourth Quarter Markets

All second half and fourth quarter market selections do include overtime periods if they occur. For example, a total second half points selection would include the points scored in both the second half and any overtime periods played.

6.4 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 However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced, was withdrawn from the starting lineup (or bench) and never took to the court, the selection and therefore bet would be void.

6.5 Postponed and Incomplete Matches

6.6 Abandoned Matches

If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the 48-hour rule for postponed matches as described above. If it is abandoned after commencing but before its natural end point, the following rules apply:

• Build A Bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet entered the court as an active player. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.
• If every selection within a Build A Bet on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the Build A Bet in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg Build A Bet containing an over total points selection and a certain player to score 10.5+ points, in a game where the required points have been reached and the player did score more than 10 points before the game was subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total points selection where a game is abandoned while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.
• If a single selection of a Build A Bet has lost and a match is then abandoned, the Build A Bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a Build A Bet including a first player to score selection, in a game where a different player scored first and the match was subsequently then abandoned, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently abandoned or not.
• If there are no losing selections within a Build A Bet and at least one void selection at the time of a match abandonment, the Build A Bet will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at abandonment and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, a Build A Bet including an over total points selection, in a game abandoned while the total points are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total points selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the abandonment, so the bet will be voided.

6.7 Venue Changes

If the venue of a match is changed from the one advertised, all bets on that match will be voided.

7. American Football Betting Rules

7.1 Selection and Bet Results

All American Football Build A Bet selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this document, will be settled as a loser.

For instance, selections on a team to win a match where it is a tie after overtime, even where the draw or tie may not have been offered through Build A Bet, will be settled as losers. Similarly, ‘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. If a quarter, half or match finishes scoreless, then touchdown or point-scoring selections for that period (e.g. Player to Score a 1st Half Touchdown) will be settled as losers.

If one more selections in any bet are resulted as void due to the player(s) in question not participating in a game (as per section 4), the entire bet will be resulted as void. Selections voided for other reasons (typically game abandonment or postponement) will be resulted according to the rules outlined in section 6 of this document.

7.2 Overtime

All American Football matches will be settled on the official declared result including any overtime.

7.3 Second Half / Fourth Quarter Markets

All second half and fourth quarter market selections do include overtime if it occurs. For example, a total second half points selection would include the points scored in both the second half and overtime.

7.4 Player-specific Markets

All player selections will be considered active if a player participates in at least one play at any point of the relevant match, regardless of whether the selection in question references a specific period of the match. If a player does not participate in a single play during a match, selections specific to that player will be void. For instance, a selection on a certain player to score a touchdown in the second half would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player participated in the first play of the match, was injured, and did not return to the game, regardless of having never been on the field during the second half. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced and did not participate in any plays whatsoever, the selection and therefore bet would be void.

7.5 Postponed and Incomplete Matches

If a match is postponed or incomplete, all bets will stand if the game is subsequently resumed or played within the same scheduling week of the NCAAF/NFL Thursday - Wednesday local stadium time) schedule as the originally scheduled start time. All bets placed on games which are postponed and commence outside their originally designated scheduling week will be void, and stakes will be refunded.

7.6 Abandoned Matches

If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the same scheduling week rule for postponed matches as described above. If it is halted during play, and then resumed and completed during the same scheduling week, all bets will stand also as per section 5. If a game is halted after commencing but prior to completion, and it is not resumed and completed within the same scheduling week, the following rules apply:

Build A Bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet been on the field for at least one play. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.

• If every selection within a Build A Bet on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the Build A Bet in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg Build A Bet containing an over total points selection and a certain player to score a touchdown, in a game where the required points have been reached and the player did score a touchdown before the game was subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total points selection where a game is abandoned while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.
• If a single selection of a Build A Bet has lost and a match is then abandoned, the Build A Bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a Build A Bet including a first team to score selection, in a game where the other team scored first and the match was subsequently then abandoned, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently abandoned or not.
• If there are no losing selections within a Build A Bet and at least one void selection at the time of a match abandonment, the Build A Bet will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at abandonment, and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, a Build A Bet including an over total points selection, in a game abandoned while the total points are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total points selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the abandonment, so the bet will be voided.

7.7 Venue Changes

If the venue of a match is changed from the one advertised, all bets on that match will be voided.

8. Ice Hockey Betting Rules

8.1 Selection and Bet Results

All ice hockey Build A Bet selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner.

A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this document, will be settled as a loser. If one or more selections in any bet are resulted as void for any reason (such as a selected player not participating in the match – see section 4), the entire bet will be resulted as void.

For instance, selections on a team to win a match where it is a draw after overtime (or normal time if no overtime is to be played), even where the draw or tie may not have been offered through Build A Bet, will be settled as losers. This will not be relevant to NHL matches as they advance to shootouts after a tied overtime period (regular season) or play open-ended sudden death overtime (playoffs), but may be applicable to other ice hockey leagues or competitions as per their individual competition rules.

Similarly, ‘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. If a period finishes scoreless, then goalscoring selections such as First or Last Goalscorer for that period will be settled as losers.

8.2 Overtime/Shootouts

All ice hockey matches will be settled on the official declared result including any overtime and shootouts. Goals scored in shootouts are disregarded for settlement purposes. The goal assigned to 
the score of a winning team after a shootout (e.g. the only goal in a game that finishes 0-0 after overtime and therefore 1-0 after the shootout) counts for the purposes of total game score and total team goal selections, but is not assigned to a player and does not count towards the settlement of any player scoring markets.

8.3 Third Period Markets

All third period market selections do include overtime and the resultant goal from shootouts if they occur. For example, a total third period goals selection would include the goals scored in both the third period and the winning goal from either overtime or resulting from the shootout. BetBuilder Wagering Rules – Ice Hockey 2.

8.4 Player Specific Markets

All player selections will be considered active if a player takes to the rink 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 rink during a match, selections specific to that player will be void. For instance, a selection on a certain player to score in the third period 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 ice during the third  period. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced, was withdrawn from the starting lineup (or bench) and never took the ice, the selection and therefore bet would be void.

8.5 Postponed and Incomplete Matches

Where a match is postponed or incomplete, and subsequently resumed or played within 24 hours (inclusive) of the original scheduled start time, all bets will stand. All bets placed on games played which commence more than 24 hours past the originally scheduled start time will be void. Once the 24 hours have expired, all bets are void and stakes will be refunded.

8.6 Abandoned Matches

If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the 24-hour rule for postponed matches as described above. If it is abandoned after commencing but before its natural end point, the following rules apply:

• Build A Bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet entered the rink as an active player. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.

• 2. If every selection within an Build A Bet on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the Build A Bet in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg Build A Bet containing an over total goals selection and a certain player to score, in a game where the required goals have been reached and the player did score before the game was subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total goals selection where a game is abandoned while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.

• If a single selection of an Build A Bet has lost and a match is then abandoned, the Build A Bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, an Build A Bet including a first team to score selection, in a game where the other team scored first and the match was 

  subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently abandoned or not. BetBuilder Wagering Rules – Ice Hockey 3

• If there are no losing selections within a Build A Bet and at least one void selection at the time of a match abandonment, the Build A Bet will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at abandonment, and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, a Build A Bet including an over total goals selection, in a game abandoned while the total goals are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total goals selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the abandonment, so the bet will be voided.

8.7 Venue Changes

If the venue of a match is changed from the one advertised, all bets on that match will be voided.

9. Baseball Betting Rules

9.1 Selection and Bet Results

All baseball SGM selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this document, will be settled as a loser.

For instance, selections on a team to win a match where the game finishes in a tie or draw, whether the final result has been determined with or without extra innings, and even where the draw or tie may not have been offered through Build A Bet, will be settled as losers. This will not be relevant to MLB as extra innings are played until a team wins, but may be applicable to other baseball leagues or competitions as per their individual competition rules. Similarly, ‘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.

If one or more selections in any bet are resulted as void due to the player(s) in question not participating in a game (as per section 4), the entire bet will be resulted as void. Selections voided for other reasons (typically game abandonment or postponements) will be resulted according to the rules outlined in sections 7 and 8.

9.2 Extra Innings

All baseball matches will be settled on the official declared result including any extra innings. All team and player statistics accrued during extra innings are included for the purposes of bet settlement.

9.3 Listed / Designated / Named Pitchers

Build A Bet baseball bets do not include and are not reliant on listed/designated/named pitchers. If either or both originally announced starting pitchers in a game are scratched or replaced by other pitchers, prior to the match commencing and after any bets have been placed, those bets will stand.

Where pitchers may have been listed in or relative to the display of any selections, these will be  treated as indicative only, and will not affect or prevent the application of this rule. Selections specifically involving a pitcher who does not play (and therefore bets including those selections) will still be voided as per the rules for player-specific markets in section 4.

9.4 Player-Specific Markets

If a player does not participate in a match, selections specific to that player (and therefore the entire bet) will be void. This rule is applied as follows:

• Selections on hitting / batting markets will be active if the player in question gets at least one plate appearance. If the player does not appear at the plate, these selections will be treated as void.
• Selections on base stealing markets will be active if the player in question enters the game at any point. This includes making a plate appearance but also playing as a fielder, defensive substitute, pinch-runner, and so on. If the player does not enter the game in any such capacity at any point, these selections will be treated as void.
• Selections on pitching markets will be active if the player in question throws at least one pitch in the game. If the player does not do so, these selections will be treated as void.

Player selections will be considered active or void per the rules above, regardless of whether a selection may reference a specific period of a match. For instance, a selection on a certain player to get 1+ hits in the first 5 innings of a match would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player only entered the game as a substitute after the 5th inning, and made his plate appearance(s) from that point. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced, was withdrawn from the starting lineup (or bench) and thus did not make any plate appearances, the selection and therefore bet would be void.

9.5 7 Innings Games / Double Headers

Where baseball games have been originally scheduled prior to commencement to be played for fewer than 9 innings (e.g. 7 innings games for MLB double headers), matches will be settled as normal in accordance with the rules outlined in this document (i.e. treated as regular rather than reduced-innings matches).

If a game does not commence on the scheduled calendar day of the officially listed start time (local stadium time), all bets on the match will be void.

If a game is suspended after it has commenced, and is then resumed within 36 hours (inclusive) of the original start time, all bets will stand.

If a game is suspended after it has commenced, and is resumed more than 36 hours after the original start time or not at all, it will be treated as an abandoned game and settled under the rules in sections 7 and 8 (all bets will be void apart from those which have already been irrevocably determined). This rule does not apply to playoff games; in the case of a suspended playoff or postseason tournament game, all bets will stand through any case of suspension, until the game is officially completed as per the relevant league/organisation.

9.7 Reduced-Innings Matches

Where baseball games are shortened after the match has commenced (e.g. innings reduced due to bad weather), they will be settled according to the following rules:

• Bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who does not participate in the game, as per the rules outlined in section 4. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.
• If every selection within a bet on the game is already a winner where the fact of reduced innings had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the bet in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg bet containing an over total runs selection and a certain player to hit a home run, in a game where the required runs total had been reached and the player did hit a home run, and where the match was played with reduced innings, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the game being played with reduced innings had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total runs selection where a game is shortened while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the reduced innings would impact that outcome.
• If a single selection of a bet has lost and a match is then shortened, the bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of reduced innings, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a bet including a first team to score selection, in a game where the other team scored first and the match was subsequently played with reduced innings, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently shortened or not.
• If there are no losing selections within a bet and at least one void selection on a match where innings are reduced after commencement, the bet will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are effectively undecided after the reduced number of innings have been completed, and may still have won or lost if the full amount of innings had been completed as scheduled. For example, a bet including an over total runs selection, in a shortened game concluded while the total runs are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total runs selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the shortening of the match, so the selection and therefore bet will be voided.
• The only exception to the rules above is the Match Winner / Money Line / Head-to-Head market result. This will be settled according to the official league result of the match – if a game with reduced innings still ends in an official win/loss result per the relevant league, the Match Winner market will be settled as such.

Matches concluded after 8.5 innings (where the home team is ahead after 8.5 innings and the match is ended there) are not treated as shortened matches. They will be settled as per normal settlement rules and not by the rules presented in this section for matches with reduced innings. This also applies to games scheduled to be 7 innings which finish after 6.5 innings with the home team ahead.

9.8 Abandoned Matches

If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the scheduled calendar day rule for postponed matches as described in section 6.

If a game is abandoned after commencing, but still ends with an official win/loss result per the relevant league/organisation, it will be settled under the rules in section 7 for reduced innings matches. This will include the settling of that official result under subsection 7.5.

If a game is abandoned after commencing and is not designated with an official win/loss result by the relevant league/organisation, it will be settled as per the rules in section 7 for reduced innings matches, but the Match Winner / Money Line / Head-to-Head market result will be settled as void.

9.9 Venue Changes

If the venue of a match is changed from the one originally scheduled, bets will stand if the original home and away teams remain designated as such. If the venue is changed and the home and away team designations are reversed, bets placed under the original home/away listing will be void.

10. Cross Event Build A Bet

When a bet consists of selections on more than one 1 event then the following rules apply.

If any leg within a Build A Bet is settled as a loss, then the entire bet is settled as a loss.

If any leg or leg(s) within a Build A Bet is settled as void and all other legs are winners, the Build A Bet will be paid out at a re-calculated price using the remaining legs.

This supersedes any rules within specific sport(s).

For example:

Betbuilder 1

Event 1 / Market 1 - VOID
Event 1/ Market 2

Betbuilder 2

Event 2 / Market 1
Event 2 / Market 2

If Market 1 in Event 1 is VOID then that leg (Betbuilder 1) is Void but the bet will still stand on the price of Betbuilder 2 like any other accumulator.
