FAQ

Do basketball bets include overtime?

Moneyline and totals often include overtime unless the market says “regular time only”. Player props usually include overtime. Read the market note before you bet.

What happens if a player in my prop does not start?

Many player props require the player to take the court for your bet to stand. If not, the bet is usually void and stake returned. Check the rule on the slip.

Can I Cash Out on basketball accumulators?

Cash Out may be offered on single and multi bets if markets are live and eligible. The amount depends on current odds and game state.

What if a game is postponed?

Your bet may stay open until the game is played within the set time window, or be void if it does not. See event rules for the settlement timeframe.
