Catalog
The following is applicable to all American Football games, including NFL, NCAA College Football, CFL and Arena Football.
Abandoned or postponed matches are void unless rearranged and played in the same NFL weekly schedule (Thursday-Wednesday local stadium time), except for those bets that have already been determined at the time of abandonment or postponement.
If a match venue is changed, bets already placed will stand, providing the home team is still designated as such. If the home and away team for a listed match are reversed, then bets placed based on the original listing will be void.
In 2-Way markets Push rules apply, unless otherwise stated. Stakes on single bets are returned, and in multiples/parlays the selection is treated as a non-runner. For example – in Handicap or Totals 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 settlements are based on results and statistics provided by the relevant league’s governing body:
We reserve the right to suspend any or all betting on a game at any time without notice. For settlement purposes, the team listed first in the event name is always considered the Home Team. Example: Team A vs Team B – Team A is the Home Team.
Overview of Specific Markets

- Prices quoted are for the whole game inclusive of any overtime played unless otherwise stated. As the markets are in-running, we reserve the right to close the market at any time.

Quarter and half markets
For bets based on the specific quarters or halves, the entire period of play must be played unless the result is already determined. NFL fourth quarter betting includes overtime.
Handicap Betting
Overtime counts for match handicap betting. Overtime does not count for quarter and half-specific markets, except NFL fourth quarter betting. For quarter and half betting, the entire period must be played for bets to stand. In the event of a tie, stakes are refunded.
Match betting
Overtime counts, except for Double Chance betting, In the event of a tie following overtime all stakes are refunded.

For quarter and half betting, the entire period must be played for bets to stand. In the event of total points being exactly the nominated line, all stakes are refunded unless a price for the exact amount is quoted.
First offensive play yard line
The result is determined by where the first offensive play from scrimmage takes place. In the event of the kick-off being returned for a touchdown bets stand for the following kick off.
In the event of a turnover the result is determined on where the first offensive play takes place from, with respect to the receiving team’s yard line.
First turnover and first team to commit a turnover
For results purposes, only an interception or a fumble counts. A punt or ‘turnover on downs’ does not qualify as a turnover for settlement purposes.
In the event of an abandoned game stakes are returned, unless a turnover has already taken place.
First offensive play
In the event of a false start penalty on the first offensive play, bets stand for the next offensive play that takes place without a false start penalty.
First team/last team to score
In the event of an abandoned game, bets stand on scores that have taken place already. Overtime counts for these markets.
First/Last/Anytime/Next Touchdown scorer
Predict the name of the first/last/anytime/next touchdown scorer in the game, or whether no touchdown will be scored. Only when a player is listed on NFL.com as ‘inactive’ for that match are the selections voided. ‘Any Other Touchdown Scorer’ refers to any player not specifically listed. If no touchdowns are scored, stakes will be lost unless ‘no Touchdown scorer’ is selected. A touchdown scorer is defined as the player that carries the ball across the goal line, catches the ball in the endzone or recovers a fumble in the endzone that is ruled a touchdown.
When ‘Defense/Special Teams’ is listed as an option, and the first/last/anytime/next touchdown scorer is ‘Defense/Special Teams’, this selection will be settled the winner and supersede the individual player.
For example, Tyreek Hill is a listed option, but scores on a punt return touchdown for the first/last/anytime/next touchdown. For settlement purposes, ‘Defensive/Special Teams’ touchdown would be the winning selection.
For Player to Score 2/3/4/etc. or More Times markets, a player scoring on a ‘Defensive/Special Teams’ touchdown will not count towards their individual total.
