This document provides general and detailed information about Sportradar’s rules on bet settlement and cancellation.
Unless otherwise stated in the Special Rules for the specific sport:
Unless stated otherwise, whenever the organising association deems it fit to include any necessary rounds, matches, or series of matches (e.g. Play-offs, Play-outs, Postseason) following the end of the so-called Regular Season in order to determine the classification, league winners, promotion/relegation, etc., Sportradar will take into account the results and outcomes deriving from these matches for settlement purposes of tickets referring to the final league classification, promotion, relegation, etc. For example, seasonal bets on the team winning the NHL will refer to the Stanley Cup Winners.. All events are settled based on the award ceremony or the competition’s official scoresheet, without taking into consideration the results of any subsequent investigations or disqualifications.
Aside from the following Specific rules for each sport the General Rules will apply. Nevertheless the Specific Rules will take precedence over the General Rules for each sport, except for Player Markets which have their own rules as above.
Nr | Name of markets | Market Description |
---|---|---|
1 | Will there be overtime | Market will be settled as yes if at the end of regular time the match finishes in a draw, regardless of whether overtime is played |
2 | Xth drive - result | Only offensive plays will be considered for settlement purposes. A drive ending by interception return. Touchdown by the defense, end of half or end of game, will be settled with “other”. |
Market outcome is determined only based on the score in the respective period (e.g., 1st Quarter, 2nd Half etc.) excluding points scored in other periods both in regular time and overtime.
The quarter must have been completed for bets to stand. The half must have been completed for bets to stand.
A baseball match is usually scheduled for 9 innings, but some matches can be scheduled for 7 innings and even 5, 6, 8. However, just because a match is scheduled for x innings, this does not mean that that many innings will actually be played. A match could be called early because of weather conditions and although the full number of innings was not played the result is still considered official. A match could also have more than the scheduled number of innings if it is tied score and goes to extra innings.

Single player performance bets (as opposed to over/under) are paid as winners if your player hits their target or more. For example, a target of 20+ would be a winner if the player scored 20 or more points.
The bet is marked as a push/draw.
Yes! Just add more than one bet into the Betslip, and you can bet on all of them to win at the price offered for the combined bets. Note that accumulators may not be offered for some bet combinations.
A same-game accumulator (parlay) bet includes multiple bet legs from the same game. Odds for these bets are calculated slightly differently from standard accumulator bets to account for the observed correlation between bet legs. As a result, payouts, where correlations are deemed to exist, will likely be lower than the true odds calculation of an accumulator bet with no correlations.
Accumulators that are custom built by users will be Voided and stakes returned if all bet legs are voided except for one remaining bet leg. For example, if you have a 2-leg accumulator and one of the bets is voided, the entire accumulator is voided no matter if the remaining bet leg wins or loses.
Our "pre-canned" or "pre-built" accumulators are packaged as a single bet selection, but they follow the same settlement rules as standard user-built accumulators.
All player bets are resulted as soon as we receive the final official box score from our statistic providers, and this process can take anywhere from 15-45 minutes from the conclusion of the game depending on how long it takes for box scores to be finalised.
If one or more of the players in any bet does not participate, the bet will be voided.
If a player was not in the starting lineup for Baseball and Soccer, the bet will be voided. For Ice Hockey, if a goalie does not start the game, the bet will be voided.
Basketball - all overtime is included in settlement.
American Football - all overtime is included in settlement.
Baseball - all extra innings are included in settlement.
Ice Hockey - all overtime is included in settlement but does not include penalty shootouts.
Soccer - Game markets settled at 90 minutes. Player markets (including goals) includes extra time but not penalty shootouts.
At the conclusion of each game, we receive the final box score from the statistics provider, which is then used to settle all bets. From time to time, the final box scores are revised after being released (please note this happens a lot more frequently for Soccer than it does for our other sports coverage). If this occurs, then the player scores will not be updated, and settlement will not be revised. The only time a correction to settlement will be made is if the error was caused by a problem with the data feed or the settlement process.
The bet is marked as a push/draw and the wager will be refunded to the user.
Opta is the source for all final scores used for settlement and they are published at www.soccerstats.info.

For single bets, your stake will be returned. For accumulators (parlays), the overall bet will be settled based on the outcomes of the remaining valid bet legs and the odds will also be recalculated to factor in the voided bet leg(s). If one bet leg remains in an accumulator (parlay), the wager will be voided.
All bets will be action regardless of the starting pitcher. However, if an individual pitcher does not start the game, then all of this player’s markets will be voided.
A touchdown is credited to any player who carries or receives the ball in the end zone (ie. on a passing touchdown, the receiver is credited with a touchdown.). Passing Touchdowns in a separate market.
The winning selection for this market will always fall into one of three categories:
Our player tackles markets are settled based on total tackles which is the sum of solo + assisted tackles.
