Games must start in the same scheduling week of the league (for NFL, the scheduling week is Thursday-Wednesday, local stadium time; for NCAA, the scheduling week is Tuesday-Monday, local stadium time) for bets to have action.
If a game is halted before the minimum time has been played, and not completed within 48 hours of the scheduled start date, bets will be void, unless the specific market outcome is already determined (unless otherwise stated, i.e., playoff game rule).
If a game is halted at any time, and replayed in full, all bets will be void.
If a game venue is changed, and the home team remains designated as such, bets will stand.
If a game venue is changed, and the home and away team’s listings are reversed, bets placed on the original listing will be void.
In 2-way markets, push rules apply unless otherwise stated.
All bets include overtime unless otherwise stated.
Forfeited games, whether won or lost, will not count as a game played or completed (or any other similar term) for settlement purposes.
For markets related to instances of scoring (e.g. Next Scoring Play, ), extra point and 2 point conversions after touchdowns are not considered, unless otherwise stated.

Offensive Score on 1^st Drive of the Game – Field Goals count as an offensive score.  
Result of Drive Markets - All result of drive markets start on the first offensive snap of the ball. Any drives which are completed due to the end of the half or game, and do not explicitly result in one of the outcomes listed, will be void. The outcomes are as follows:

- Turnover on downs

Offensive Touchdown

Turnover or Turnover on Downs or Safety - A turnover is classified as the defense gaining possession of the ball. The following will all be deemed as a turnover for settlement purposes:

Drive Crosses X Yard Line Markets – In the event of time expiring. the final spot of the ball, which could either be the forward progress of the ball during a play while time expires, or the line of scrimmage of a play that is not ran due to time expiring, will be considered the final yard line. If the ball is fumbled, settlement is determined on the yard line of fumble. The line of scrimmage must be established past the yard line stated. The yard line crossed markets will result before halftime and when the game ends even if the drive isn’t completed. Other markets, however, will not result at halftimes and end of games.

If an actionable yard line is crossed but there is a fumble or a penalty on the play, it does not count as crossing the yardline.

Next Play Total Yards/Next Play First Down/Next Play Touchdown/Next Play Attempt Type – Any play which does not occur due to the end of the half or game will be void.

Settlement Rules

All settlements are based on the statistics and results provided by the official website of the league’s governing body, or league’s official statistical provider, unless otherwise stated.
Player markets, or other statistically dependent markets, are settled when the game is final, and when the necessary statistics are readily available on the league’s official website, or by the official statistical provider of the league. Any subsequent statistic changes after these markets are settled will not result in a re-settlement.
In the absence of a statistic/result required for settlement of a specific market from the sources listed above, another reputable statistical source will be used to support bet settlement.

Baseball

General Rules

Game must start on the scheduled day (local stadium time) for bets to have action.
Bets on games suspended after they have started will have action as long as the game is resumed within 36 hours of the original start time. If a suspended game is scheduled to be resumed more than 36 hours after the original start time, all bets will be void, unless the wager has been unequivocally determined prior to the game’s suspension. This applies unless otherwise stated (i.e. playoff game rule).
If a game is terminated before becoming official, and is not scheduled to resume from where it was halted, all bets will be void, unless the wager was already determined (e.g. if a game is terminated in 3rd inning, settlement of the 1st inning over/under stands).

MLB Wagers

Listed Pitchers Bets – A wager that specifies the starting pitchers for both teams or either team. The name(s) of the listed pitcher(s) who are relevant for the wager will be included in the market name. If one (or both) of the starting pitchers listed on the wager do not start, the wager is void. Note - any Listed Pitchers wagers will not be available for Cash Out when the game is live.
Live Betting – If the live prop specifies the pitcher, the bet will stand only if the listed pitcher remains on the mound until the determination of the wager\

Specific Market Rules

All plate appearance and pitch predictions will void when the plate appearance (batter vs. pitcher match-up) does not occur in the listed inning (e.g., the 4th plate appearance of an inning doesn't occur as the first three resulted in outs).
All plate appearance and pitch predictions will void if the batter or pitcher is substituted out prior to the plate appearance beginning. In either scenario, that prediction will void and a new one will be created with the correct context at the correct time.
Pitch result predictions will void if an intentional walk is called prior to the pitch being thrown.
The “plate appearance reach base” prediction will result as “No” if the batter reaches base safely but is tagged out before the play concludes. For example, hitting a single then getting thrown out while trying to advance to second in the same play will result in “No.”
The plate appearance “hit, out or walk” prediction will void on Error, error out, failed fielder’s choice or catcher interference.
The 3-Batter Reach Base prediction will void when an inning ends before the first 3 batters have a plate appearance (e.g., walk-off prior to the 3rd batter appearing).
Anywhere we refer to “at-bat,” we are using the colloquial term for a plate appearance.
Fielder’s choices result as an "out" even if the batter reaches base.
A dropped 3rd strike counts as a strikeout for the batter but doesn't count as an out if he reaches base safely.
‘Reach on error’ and ‘Hit by pitch’ voids the “hit, out or walk” market.
If a pitch results as a hit batter, it is resulted as a "Ball."
Catcher’s interference results as a "Reach on Error."
Intentional walks void the pitch count and future pitch markets.
All upcoming or live predictions will void when a prediction cannot be resulted due to a postponement or weather delay and the game does not resume on the day it was originally scheduled.

For any pre-live props to have action, the game must go at least 9 innings (8.5 innings if home team is ahead), or 7 innings (6.5 innings if home team is ahead) in a 7-inning game, unless settlement has already been determined from an official, shortened, game.

Specific Market Rules

An offensive rebound continues a possession. So if a player misses a FG, the team grabs an offensive rebound and scores a two pointer, the result of the possession is a Score/Two Pointer.
A jump ball in which the defensive team comes up with the possession counts as a turnover.
Next possession bet is available during timeouts, quarter breaks and free throws and suspends when play resumes.
Next possession: If a player is fouled in the act of shooting and the shot is made, the player's team's markets will result using the made field goal. If the shot is missed due to a foul, the market will not result as a miss and the markets will remain live (this is in alignment with official NBA statistics). If there is an offensive rebound, the possession continues. Therefore, the possession markets do not result in the offensive rebound.
If a quarter ends with a missed shot at the buzzer and no team rebounds that miss, all bet on that possession result will be voided.
Blocked shots that get rebounded by the defensive team count as a Missed FG.
Non-shooting fouls (technical, clear path, defensive 3 in the key) that lead to free-throws count as Free Throws.
Basket interferences count as Turnovers.
If a player does not play in a quarter, all bet associated with that player gets voided.
