Sport Betting Rules - House Rules

Introduction

  • The House Rules which may also be referred to as the Sports Wagering Rules consist of General Sport Wagering Rules and Sports Specific Rules (the "Rules"). The Rules are an integral part of the Underdog Terms of Use and govern the use of Underdog’s Sportsbook.
  • Reference to the "Company", "we", "our", "us", or “Underdog ” in these Rules shall mean Underdog Sports Wagering, LLC. References to "you", "your", “user”, or "member" means the person that has contracted with the Company through the User Agreement.
  • Please see General Rules to review the types of wagers which you can place on the Underdog sports mobile application (the “Site”) and the applicable definitions used in the Rules.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure that the details of the wager in which you place on the Site are correct. We advise you to check that the details that you enter with regards to your wager are correct prior to placing such a wager. You can view the wagers which are accepted by us in the "Your bets" section of your mobile application.

Definition

Shall have the meaning given to it in the Introduction Section.

Dead Heat Rule

This rule applies where two or more selections which you have had the opportunity to wager on, have finished in the same position, drawn or tied (as applicable). The number of selections which you have had the opportunity to wager on who finish in the same position, drawn or tied (as applicable) will determine your return with respect to such wager. In such an event, your wager will be settled at the full odds, but your stake will be divided by the number of selections which you have an opportunity to wager on, which have finished in the same position, drawn or tied (as applicable).

The method for calculating dead heat returns is as follows:

Return = (Original Stake * (Number of Expected Winners / Number of Actual Winners)) * Original Odds

By way of example only,

  1. Player A places a wager on Patrick Mahomes for 100 USD at 2.5x to have Most Passing Yards in the NFL regular season
  2. Player B places a wager on Joe Burrow for 150 USD at 11x to have Most Passing Yards in NFL regular season
  3. Player C places a wager on Bryce Young for 200 USD at 21x to have Most Passing Yards in the NFL regular season

In the event that at the end of the NFL regular season, and all three players have recorded the same amount of passing yards (tied for the most):

  1. Player A will receive: (100 USD * (1/3)) x 2.5= 83.33 USD
  2. Player B will receive: (150 USD * (1/3)) x 11= 550 USD
  3. Player C will receive: (200 USD * (1/3)) x 21= 1,400 USD

If one or more legs of a parlay is affected by a “Dead-Heat” then the original parlay stake is reduced accordingly. For example, if one leg of a three-leg parlay is affected by a dead heat with four players tied for one place, the original parlay stake would be divided by four and the returns calculated using the original parlay odds.

Error

Any type of mistake, misinterpretation, misreading, technical hazard, registration error, transaction error, manifest error, (including without limitation any such error made by us or on our behalf). 

An “Obvious Error” or “Palpable Error” can be defined by the non-exhaustive list below:

  1. where any odds or terms of a wager are misstated to you;
  2. a wager which is accepted due to a technical or human error;
  3. a wager containing any incorrect participant; 
  4. a wager placed at odds that are materially different from those available in the general market at the time the wager was placed;
  5. The prices offered at the time the wager is placed are clearly incorrect given the probability of the event occurring;
  6. a wager accepted on any event or market that has already concluded or in which betting has closed;
  7. If an event does not exist and we have created a wager for such event; 
  8. a wager with an incorrect venue listed;
  9. a wager placed after the start of an event, if the event remained in pre-match status;
  10. a wager in which the customer did not have adequate funds in the account;
  11. failures, errors, manipulations, or fraudulent or dishonest activities; 
  12. a wager on a market where the incorrect teams are listed and/or listed in the incorrect order (i.e. Home Team listed as Away);
  13. where the ticket does not correctly reflect the wager; or
  14. where equipment failure renders a ticket unreadable.

In the event of an Obvious Error, affected users will be contacted regarding the wager(s) and all wagers will be canceled or voided, after obtaining regulatory approval, if necessary.

If a user believes a wager was accepted at incorrect, stale, latent or 

otherwise inaccurate odds, then Underdog will rely on its backend trading database to confirm the correct odds at the time of wager acceptance, and reserves the right to grade the at-issue wager based on that data housed and maintained by Underdog, to the extent permitted by law. Underdog has the right to void or cancel any wagers where odds differ between the customer’s betslip and Underdog’s database. To resolve such issues, Underdog Customer Support can be contacted at [email protected].

If a user believes Underdog has posted an incorrect wager result, please contact Underdog Customer Support at [email protected].  Underdog will make any necessary adjustments to a user’s account balance to account for any incorrect payments or deductions made based on an incorrect wager result.

Injury Time

Means the amount of time displayed by the relevant official and not the amount of time which is actually played.

Influence Wagering

Means any occurrence where you act in conjunction with a third party in any manner whatsoever (whether directly or indirectly) in an attempt to inappropriately, directly or indirectly, influence an event.

Live Wagering, Live or In-Play

Means any occurrence where you are provided the opportunity to place a wager on a match or event after it has started and while it is in progress.

Push Rules

Means when you have placed a wager on a spread, total or handicap and your wager ends in a tie when the spread is taken into account and no tie option was available to place a wager on. Your stake will be returned in this case.

Regular Time and Full Time

Means the time period of an event, match or game (as applicable) which the relevant governing association, body or organization defines the length of an event, match or game (as applicable). By way of example, in soccer this means 90 minutes plus Injury Time. This does not include any extra time, overtime or anything analogous thereto, unless we detail otherwise. 

If the relevant governing association, body or organization determines prior to the relevant event, match or game (as applicable) that such will be played for a different length of time this will be the official duration.

Part B - General Rules

  • Wagers
  • Wager Acceptance
    • How you can view your wager:  When your wager is accepted by us, it will appear in the “Your bets” section of our mobile application. To access this, you must log into your account and click on “Your bets”. In any event that there is a conflict between what is shown in your "Your bets" page and our servers, our servers will take precedence.
    • If your wager is accepted by us, you will not be able to cancel such a wager.
  • Bonus Cash
    • Bonus Cash may also be available to make your wager.  Bonus Cash refers to a bonus issued to users that must be wagered prior to the amount being cashable.

  • Voiding of any Wager
    • Cancellation of an otherwise validly placed wager by Underdog shall be nondiscretionary.  Underdog may cancel or void a wager without prior authorization of the Director as provided for in Underdog’s Internal Controls, these House Rules, or under the following circumstances: 

(1) a wager where after a player has placed a wager, the wagering event is canceled, postponed or rescheduled to a different date prior to completion of the wagering event; 

(A) in the case of a wager on a portion of a wagering event, that wager shall be valid when the event is canceled, postponed, or rescheduled if the outcome of the affected portion was determined prior to the cancellation, postponement, or rescheduling; 

(B) the Specific Sports Rules below set forth additional information about the timeframe for the canceling of a wager in the event a specific wagering event is rescheduled or postponed;

 

(2) a change in the venue where a wagering event was scheduled to be held occurs after a player has placed a wager; 

(3) a wager when an individual participant fails to participate in a wagering event and the outcome of the wager is solely based on that individual participant’s performance; 

(4) a wager received on whether a team will qualify to participate in post-season competitions when the number of teams allowed to participate in the post-season changes after a player has placed a wager; 

(5) changes to rules by a sports governing body or equivalent regarding the format or number of participants scheduled to participate in a defined phase of a wagering event or in the event that a defined phase is not played at all; 

(6) when, prior to the start of the wagering event, a player requests a wager be canceled or voided due to an error in communicating the type, amount or parameters of the wager; or 

(7) when authorized or ordered by the Commission.

Where Underdog has a reasonable basis to believe there was an Obvious Error (as defined herein) in the placement or acceptance of the wager, Underdog may use its discretion to cancel the wager without prior authorization from the Director. For more information relating to this, see examples in the rules for each individual sport below.

Underdog may cancel or void a wager for a material change in circumstances for a given wagering event or wager type, provided: 

(1) the Director approves the material change; 

(2) Underdog documents the material change in these Wagering Rules (see the Specific Sports Rules below); and 

(3) Underdog displays what constitutes a material change to a player at the time of placement of the wager.  

Occasionally wagers may be placed in “pending” status.  When Underdog requests that the Director authorize the cancellation or voiding of one or more wagers, wagers related to the request will be placed in a pending status until the Director rules on the request.  Moreover, if Underdog suspects an Obvious Error or any illegal or suspicious wagering activity, wagers may be placed in a pending status until Underdog completes an investigation.  While a wager is pending, the wager will remain unsettled.  Following the Director’s ruling or the completion of Underdog’s investigation, as may be appropriate, the wager will either be voided or allowed to settle normally at the correct odds and time.  If the wager is deemed an Obvious Error or otherwise permitted by the Director to be cancelled or voided, the wager will be voided.

When a wager is cancelled or voided, all funds will be returned to the customer.  For parlays (situation involving wagers with multiple selections) where one or more legs or selections are cancelled or voided, please refer to our parlay rules.

  • Wager Types
    • We may provide you with the opportunity to place the following types of wagers:

Type of Wager

Explanation

Parlay Wager

Means a wager which combines two or more selections into a single  wager. You need to win every selection in order to win the wager.

Handicap, Margin or Spread

Spread wagering (also known as handicap) is where one selection in an event is given a "spread" to overcome in order to win. Spread wagering may also be referred to as "handicap" or “margin”.

For example in a two way spread where you may wager on a winner or loser (there is no handicap draw option to wager on):

  1. Carolina Panthers @ Dallas Cowboys where the spread is Cowboys -3 (the Panthers are essentially given a 3-point head start). Even if the Cowboys win the game 23-21, if you placed a spread wager on the Panthers +3, you will win your wager, because the spread makes the score 24-23 Panthers for the purposes of the wager.
  2. Carolina Panthers @ Dallas Cowboys where the spread is Cowboys -3 (the Panthers are essentially given a 3-point head start). Even if the Cowboys win the game 23-21, if you placed a spread wager on the Cowboys -3, you will lose your wager because the spread makes the score 21-20 Panthers for the purposes of the wager.
  3. Carolina Panthers @ Dallas Cowboys where the spread is Cowboys -3 (the Panthers are essentially given a 3-point head start). The Cowboys win the game 21-18. In such an event the Push Rules will apply to all wagers for Cowboys -3, as well as Panthers +3, since both wagers will result in a push (tie) after the spread is applied.

Outright Winner or Place

This provides you with the opportunity of wagering on a selection winning or finishing in a specified place (but not necessarily winning). For example, on golf events we may offer you the chance to wager on players finishing inside the top five or ten.

Over/Under or Total

This gives you the opportunity to be on a predefined amount of events or occurrences in a game. For example: Over/Under 2.5 goals. For an Over wager to win there must be 3 or more goals in the relevant match. For Under 2.5 goals to win there must be two or less goals in the relevant match. Over/Under or Totals can also be three way. If no draw option is provided for you to wager on, and the result lands on the exact amount, your stake will be returned. Overtime is included for settlement here, and the wager will be settled on the official game score.

Period/Half Wagering

This provides you with the opportunity of wagering on a period, quarter, or half.

Player Props

These give you the option to wager on an individual player's performance. There are over/unders, such as Passing Yards in football or Points in Basketball. There will also be Yes/No markets such as “player to score a TD” in football or “Player to hit a HR” in baseball. 

  • Ineligible Persons
    • any person under the age of 21;
    • an involuntary excluded person and any person who has requested and not revoked a voluntary exclusion designation from sports wagering pursuant to G.S. 18C-922;
    • any person who has been adjudicated by law as prohibited from engaging in sports wagering;
    • a Commissioner, or any member or employee of the Commission when placing a sports wager in North Carolina;
    • any employee or key person of an interactive sports wagering operator or service provider license when placing sports wagers with that interactive sports wagering operator;
    • with respect to a sporting event, any participant in that sporting event, including an athlete, coach, trainer, official, or any employee or staff of a participant, when placing a sports wager on that sporting event in which that participant is participating;
    • any employee or staff of a sports governing body, when placing a sports wager on sporting events with which that individual or sports governing body is affiliated;
    • an individual while not in the authorized geographic boundaries within the State of North Carolina;
    • a person wagering in violation of state, local, or federal law;
    • an individual wagering on behalf of another individual or person;
    • except for the purpose of layoff wagers, as defined in the Commission Rules Manual For Sports Wagering and Pari-Mutuel Wagering, Rule 24 NCAC 06B .0101, a Person that is not an individual; or
    • other persons as determined by the Commission.
  • Payout Calculations
    • Multiplier Odds (e.g. 2.50x, 1.50x) and American Odds (e.g. +150, -200) will first be converted into Decimal Odds (e.g. 2.5, 1.5) for determining payouts.
    • All Odds will be then calculated in the following manner, based on the decimal odds. We utilize the “half round up” method to determine final odds for each wager (example - 100.5 will become 101, but 100.4 will become 100, 2.675 will become 2.68, but 2.674 will become 2.67).
      • Odds 1 - 1.100 will be rounded up to the nearest thousandth.
      • Odds 1.10 - 10.00 will be rounded up to the nearest hundredth.
      • Odds 10.0 - 100.0 will be rounded up to the nearest tenth.
      • Odds 100+ will be rounded to the nearest whole number.
    • All Payouts will be calculated using the rounded odds. In the event that the payout is more than 2 decimal places, the final payout will be truncated rather than rounded. For example - a $25.52 wager placed at odds of 2.53 returns a payout of $64.56 to the customer
      •  ($25.52 x 2.53 = $64.5656) > $64.56 based on truncation
    • Parlay Payouts will be calculated based on the prices of the individual selections, but are subject to recalculations in the event of related contingencies.
    • Notification of Odds or Line Changes
      • The product will indicate if odds or lines change throughout the wagering experience. The user will have to accept those changes before placing a wager. If the user chooses, they can enable a setting to automatically accept these changes for convenience.
  • Funding of Wagers
  • A wagering account may be funded using approved methods which shall produce a sufficient audit trail for verification of the source of the wagers.  Approved methods for funding Wagering Accounts include: 

(1) cash; 

(2) cash equivalents converted to cash; 

(3) credit cards and debit cards; 

(4) electronic funds transfers including automated clearing house and other           

methods; 

(5) promotional or bonus credits; 

(6) winnings; 

(7) adjustments made by Underdog with documented notification to the 

player; 

(8) a reloadable prepaid account or card, which has been verified as being 

issued to the player and is nontransferable; and 

(9) other forms of payment approved by the Commission. 

Please review Section 4(iii) of the Terms of Use, “User Account Funds and Withdrawals.”

  • In-Play Wagering
    • If a market is not scheduled to be turned in-play but Underdog fails to suspend the market at the relevant time, then:
      • if the event has a scheduled start time, all wagers matched after that scheduled start time will be void; and
      • If the event does not have a scheduled start time, Underdog will use its reasonable efforts to ascertain the time of the actual start and all wagers after the time of the start determined by Underdog will be void.
    • Underdog aims to use its reasonable efforts to suspend in-play markets at the start of and at the end of the event. However, Underdog does not guarantee that such markets will be suspended at the relevant time.
    • Underdog reserves the right at its absolute discretion to part-suspend or fully suspend outcomes/selections in a market that has been turned in-play.
    • Underdog users are responsible for managing their in-play wager(s) at all times.
    • For the purposes of in-play wagering, users should be aware that transmissions described as “live” by some broadcasters may actually be delayed or pre-recorded. The extent of any delay may vary depending on the set-up through which they are receiving pictures or data. Please also be aware that, for operational reasons, wager requests made in-play may take slightly longer to process.
    • If Underdog accepts a wager on a market for which the outcome has already been determined, then that wager shall be deemed void (and no winnings shall be payable in respect of it) regardless of the wager being a win, lose or push.
    • Underdog cannot guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of live scores, time remaining and the status of games displayed on the Wagering Apps in connection with live wagering, which may come from third parties not controlled by Underdog. We accept no liability for the incorrect display of this information. If you rely on this data to place a wager, you do so entirely at your own risk.
  • Results and Market Settlement
    • General
      • Where the Specific Sports Rules do not specify how and on what basis a market will be settled, markets will be settled on the official result of the relevant governing body regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result.
      • If no official result of a relevant governing body is available, the result will be determined by Underdog (acting reasonably) using information from independent sources. In such cases, if any new information comes into the public domain within 48 hours of settlement, then Underdog shall (acting reasonably) determine either:
        • whether the market should be reinstated or resettled in light of this new information; or
        • whether or not to wait for further information before deciding whether to reinstate or resettle the market. Except where Underdog has announced that it is waiting for further information, any information that comes into the public domain more than 48 hours after a market has been settled shall not be considered by Underdog (regardless of whether or not such information may have led to a different result).
      • In the event of any uncertainty about any result or potential result, Underdog reserves the right to suspend settlement of any market for an unlimited period until the uncertainty can be resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of Underdog. Underdog reserves the right to void any market if the uncertainty regarding settlement cannot be resolved to Underdog reasonable satisfaction.
      • All-In Wagering - All-In' means that regardless of whether or not a particular competitor or team or member of a team starts or completes the event on which a wager is placed, all wagers stand and no refunds will be payable. Clients will be notified if a market is All-In via Blurbs, Market title and/or Selection name.
      • In the event a player, team or selection are deemed the winner of a specified outright market with one winner (e.g. NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship) but were not offered for wagering due to state regulations forbidding waging on that player, team or selection then all wagers placed on that market will be void. This does not include cashed out wagers, which will be settled at the specified cash out offer received by the user. For markets with multiple winners (e.g. To Make Final Four), if a non-listed player, team or selection wins, then all wagers are action.
      • In the event that Underdog mistakenly offers a tournament, event, or market that is unapproved according to the state regulator, all wagers will be voided
      • Underdog will also void any “hypothetical” events and/or markets that do not happen. For example - All Wagers placed on a hypothetical boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will be void if the fight does not take place within a reasonable timeframe from the expected date.
      • “Predict the Matchup” markets will be graded as Win/Loss, unless the correct matchup was not an option for wagering. For example - if the Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers play in the Super Bowl, all wagers on the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs will be deemed losers, unless this was not available as the winning selection within the market.
      • Weekly/Daily specials: All relevant games must be played to a natural completion for wagers to stand. In the event one or more game(s) are postponed and/or have a venue change, all wagers in the relevant market will be refunded.
      • Regarding multiple player markets. In Addition to the rules above, all listed players must be active for wagers to stand. For example - A wager for “LaMelo Ball & Brandon Miller to Combine for Over 59.5 Points” will be voided if one or both players listed do not play.
      • “First” Markets will be graded as losing wagers if the person/team selected is not the winning selection, regardless of whether or not the winning selection was offered. Underdog will do its best to offer all potential winners, but the market will not be voided in the event that a non-listed player/team scores first. This includes, but is not limited to: 1st Homerun, 1st Touchdown, 1st Goal Scorer, 1st Scorer
    • Resettlements
      • Markets are generally settled shortly after the end of the event in question. Underdog may settle (or part-settle) some markets before the official result is declared purely as a user service benefit. However, Underdog reserves the right to amend the settlement of the market if:
        • the official result is different to the result on which Underdog initially settled the market; or
        • if the whole market is eventually voided (e.g. for an abandoned event).
      • Underdog reserves the right to reverse the settlement of a market if a market is settled in error (for example, a human or technical error), subject to regulatory approval, as may be required.
      • If Underdog resettles a market, this may lead to amendments being made to a user's balance and/or the deduction of funds from a user’s account to reflect changes in market settlement.
      • Underdog will settle markets on the basis that it obtains the relevant information once the outcome has been determined. If this information is not obtained, or if there is an obvious/palpable error in the information, the settlement of the wager offer will be based on other public information/ official sources at the reasonable discretion of Underdog.  Please refer to Underdog’s Terms of Use, under “Game Rules” for more information on obvious/palpable errors. 
      • Underdog may be required by law or regulation to seek approval with the relevant regulatory body before making any amendments to a price or wager status.
    • Non-Runners
      • Unless stated otherwise under a specific sport, pre-live wagers are accepted on a “non-runner, no wager” basis. This means that all pre-live wagers will be void on any player, team or other competitor that does not participate in the event. “Participate” is defined as being on the field, court, rink, etc for any duration of live play.
      • If a player, team or other competitor has taken any part in a sporting event once it has officially started and then fails to complete that event for any reason, any wager placed on that player, team or other competitor will be deemed live (i.e. wagers on that player, team or other competitor will not be voided).
      • Any in-play wagers will not be voided if the player, team or competitor has already been deemed a runner. For example - a wager placed at halftime for “Chuba Hubbard Over 25.5 2nd Half Rushing Yards” will be graded as a losing wager if Chuba Hubbard played in the first half, but does not play in the 2nd half, for any reason.
      • Where specified, certain markets will be offered on an “all-in compete or not” basis. This means that, if a player, team or other competitor is withdrawn from an event (whether he, she or it pulls out of the event, is suspended or disqualified from it or otherwise) before he, she or it has taken part in the event, then any wager placed on that player, team or competitor (as applicable) will be deemed a losing wager.
      • If an event is specified as “fixed draw” and a team, player or other competitor is withdrawn, suspended or disqualified from that event, we reserve the right to settle any wagers on the subsequent prices once the market has been revised without the withdrawn team/player.
    • Unexpected Events and Other Changes
      • To the extent there is any inconsistency between the General Rules contained in this part and the Specific Sports Rules applying to a specific event, the sport specific rules will apply. Should there be no clear answer in the sport specific rules, then the following will apply:
        • If an event or events occur beyond the reasonable control of Underdog such as an epidemic, pandemic, flood, fire, earthquake, element of nature or act of God, act of war, terrorism, riot, rebellion, strike, blockade, labor disruption or other cause, that materially impact any sporting or other event (or a series of events in a season), which is the subject of a contingency or outcome of a market offered by Underdog, Underdog may, acting in good faith, exercise its discretion to void, cancel, restrict or otherwise alter or adjust the payout (in whole or in part) of the affected wager(s) placed on the relevant market (including, without limitation, retrospectively take any of the actions contemplated once a wager has been placed and before or after it has been resolved). For the avoidance of doubt, “impact” on any sporting or other event includes, without limitation:
          • Any reduction in the number of games or matches in a season;
          • Any material change in the length of a game or match or when the matches are played;
          • A material change to the format or rules of the relevant event(s), series or competitions as determined by the relevant sports body; or
          • A change in the location of any match, game or event.:

  • Wagers on markets that don’t reach completion before the interruption but have already been unconditionally determined will be settled as such. For example, if a team is mathematically eliminated from playoffs prior to the interruption then wagers on them to miss the playoffs are winners whereas wagers on them to make the playoffs or win the Championship are losers.

  • If the ruling governing body announces within 90 days of the original scheduled completion date, the rescheduling of a tournament or competition all wagers on the original competition will remain active. At the user’s request, Underdog will void wagers made on the originally scheduled tournament or competition but only before the start of the rescheduled competition. In the event that no official ruling is made postponing the competition or tournament within 90 days of the original scheduled completion date all wagers will be void.
    • Example: An unexpected natural disaster strikes the United States and the NFL decides to push back all NFL playoff games one week. All NFL Futures wagers for Super Bowl Winner will stand, but individual users reserve the right for their wager(s) to be voided, if they so choose.
    • Example: There is an extended delay with the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement and the regular season is pushed back substantially. The NBA Finals are now scheduled for October, 2025 instead of the original date of June, 2025. All NBA Futures wagers for NBA Finals Winner will be void.
  • Abandonments, Cancellations, Postponements, Forfeits
    • Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific Sports Rules. However, where a market has no rules in the Specific Sports Rules in relation to an abandonment, cancellation and/or postponement the following shall apply:
      • In relation to any match, fixture, game, individual event, race or similar: If the event is not completed within 48 hours of scheduled starting time, then all wagers on markets for this event will be void, except for wagers on any markets that have been unconditionally determined. 
      • All wagers on an event that is officially deemed a forfeit will be void.
      • In relation to any tournament, future or similar: If the event is not completed within 24 hours following the scheduled completion date of the event, then any markets relating to the event will be settled in accordance with the official ruling of the relevant governing body, providing such a decision is given within 90 days after the scheduled completion date. If no official ruling is announced in this 90 day period, then wagers on any market relating to this event will be void, except for wagers on any markets which have been unconditionally determined. If a market is to be voided but has been part-settled as a courtesy to Underdog users, then such part-settled wagers will be reversed and all wagers on the market will be void.
      • If there is no further sporting action in any market that does not contain the selection ‘draw’ or ‘tie’, all wagers placed after this conclusion of action will be voided (e.g. If the game ends in a draw and the two selections that are named in the market are “Team A” and “Team B” without a “Draw” or “Tie” selection - the wager on either Team A or B will be Voided).
    • Underdog will decide (acting reasonably) whether a market relates to a match (or similar) or a tournament (or similar). However, by way of example, the following shall apply:
      • Super Bowl Winner (outright) = tournament;
      • Philadelphia Eagles vs. Carolina Panthers = match.
  • Change of Venue
    • Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific Sports Rules. However, if change of venue is not dealt with in the Specific Sports Rules then the following shall apply:
      • For any team sport: if the scheduled venue is changed after a wager is placed, all wagers will be void only. 
  • Periods of Time
    • Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific Sports Rules. However, if not dealt with in the Specific Sports Rules then the following shall apply.
      • If the scheduled duration of an event is changed after a wager is placed but before the start of the event, then all wagers will be void.
      • Some markets refer to the length of time until an occurrence in the event (e.g. time of first goal). If an event happens in stoppage or injury time after any regular time period then it will be deemed to have occurred at the end of the regular time period. For example, if a goal is scored in first half stoppage-time in a soccer match it will be deemed to have occurred in 45 minutes.
      • All wagers apply to the relevant full ‘regular time’ period including stoppage time. Any extra-time and/or penalty shoot-out is not included.
  • Errors
    • Underdog makes every effort to ensure that it does not make any errors when accepting wagers. 
    • An “Obvious Error” or “Palpable Error” (defined in the definitions section):

When an Obvious/Palpable Error has occurred, Underdog reserves the right to either (i) correct any obvious/palpable errors by settling winning wagers at the ‘correct price,’ as reasonably determined by Underdog, or (ii) void any wager placed where such errors have occurred and with regulatory approvals as necessary. 

  • Duplicate Events
    • In the event that odds for the same exact game are displayed on the Underdog more than once (regardless of whether the markets are related and/or displayed odds are different), Underdog reserves the right to cancel any correlated parlay wagers placed on both/multiple events, regardless of whether the markets and/or displayed odds are different.
    • Single wagers placed individually on the above markets will be settled in accordance with official results.
  • Minimum and Maximums
    • The minimum wager for all customers wagering with Underdog platform is $0.10. The maximum wager for all new customers entering the Underdog platform is $1,000. These limits include all wager types offered on Underdog wagering platform (straight wagers, parlays, same game parlays, etc). The minimum and maximum wager thresholds are per market type per event. For avoidance of doubt and by way of example, a customer can place a wager on Bryce Young over 210 passing yards for $1,000. However, the same customer cannot place another wager on Bryce Young over passing yards at current price/odds, any adjusted price/odds that might be different from the initial wager, alternate markets with Bryce Young passing yards, or combinations with the same market type. Underdog reserves the right to change, for any reason permitted by law, the minimum or maximum wager limits for any customer(s) or group of customer(s) at any time without written notice, consent, or communication to the customer. Underdog customers can request limit increases by contacting [email protected]. Before Underdog adjusts a customer’s limits, Underdog may require the customer to provide sufficient documentation for review to ensure that the customer is playing within their means and not otherwise prohibited from participating in the Site’s offerings. Failure to comply or provide such documentation could result in a denied request. For the avoidance of doubt, there are many reasons and factors that Underdog could increase or decrease a customer’s wager limits, including but not limited to, responsible gaming concerns, self-imposed limits, the nature of the customer’s request, the customer’s gaming history, or for any other reason in the sole discretion of Underdog. Underdog reserves the right to void or cancel wagers at our discretion for reasons, including but not limited to failure to adhere to the min/max wager limits disclosed in this section of our House Rules or failure to comply with Underdog’s Terms of Use.
    • For all events offered, the maximum winning limit per wager (e.g., straight, parlay, same game parlay, or other) is $250,000 US Dollars. Maximum winning limits per wager shall only be established through limiting the amount of a Wager and cannot be applied to reduce the amount paid to a Player as a result of a winning Wager. For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example, if a customer places a $1,000 wager to win $250,001, Underdog will not adjust the payout but instead provide the customer with an avenue to reduce wager size or remove a portion or leg of a wager.
    • The $250,000 maximum winnings limit shall apply to any one user, or multiple users acting together, wagering on the same combination of selections, regardless of whether or not such wagers are made separately, at a range of different prices, on different days and through a number of different accounts. If Underdog, in its discretion and to the extent permitted by law, believes that a number of wagers have been placed in this way, then the total payment of all those wagers combined will be limited to one single maximum winnings of $250,000.
    • At its sole discretion, management may accept wagers at other than currently posted terms or odds. 
  • Parlays
    • A parlay wager consists of a number of legs. A leg is defined as one or more chosen selections in any individual event market. A Same Game Parlay (SGP) is a parlay that consists of 2 or more legs from the same event. A Same Game Parlay Plus (SGP+) is a parlay that consists of 2 or more legs from the same event plus additional leg(s) from another event. An SGP group is the group of selections within a parlay that belong to the same event. A parlay may contain multiple SGP Groups, in the case of an SGP+.
      • Parlay Example – Panthers, Eagles, Chiefs All to Win
      • SGP Example – LaMelo Ball Over 24.5 Points to Win & Hornets to Win
      • SGP+ Example – LaMelo Ball Double-Double, Hornets to Win & Panthers to Win
      • SGP Group Example – (LaMelo Ball Double, Hornets to Win) in the SGP+ example above
    • SGPs and SGP+s are specific types of Parlays and are graded differently in certain circumstances.
    • Underdog reserves the right in its sole discretion not to accept certain parlay wagers or to scale back stakes.
    • All parlay wager placed are subject to the Sportsbook Rules that apply to each individual sport that relates to any leg of any parlay wager.
    • If any selection in any leg is a non-runner or otherwise void under the Sportsbook Rules (e.g. an abandoned match, push, non-runner, etc) then all wagers on that individual leg will be void and the parlay wager shall be adjusted accordingly. For example, a 3-leg parlay where one leg is void/push will become a 2-leg parlay. A 2-leg parlay where one leg is void/push will become a single wager, and the single wager will stand. 
    • SGPs and SGP+s that are placed pre-event will be settled in the same manner as a normal parlay. If a selection within the wager is void/push, the wager odds will be re-calculated using the remaining legs. For example – an SGP for “Bryce Young Over 200 Passing Yards & Carolina Panthers to Win” will be paid out as a 1-leg bet, at recalculated odds, if Bryce Young throws for exactly 200 yards (causing this leg to push).
    • SGPs and SGP+s that are placed in-play (after the event has started, but before it is finished) will either be fully void/push, or recalculated, depending on the circumstances. 
    • In-play SGPs and In-play SGP+s will be recalculated in the following scenarios:
      • All legs in the SGP Group are void/push
      • All legs in the SGP Group are win
      • All but 1 leg in the SGP Group are void/push, and the 1 remaining leg is a win
    • In-play SGPs and In-play SGP+s will be void/push if 1 or more leg is void/push and there are 2 or more remaining legs as wins (and no legs are losses).
    • In-play SGPs and In-play SGP+s will be settled as Loss  if any legs are losers
    • There may be instances where parlays and/or SGPS and SGP+s are not accepted when there are related contingencies (i.e. where the outcome of one event is likely to affect the odds on the outcome of another event). The rejection of related contingency wagers may happen automatically at the wager placement stage. However, if such a wager is accepted in error, Underdog may settle the individual wager combinations which include two or more of the related contingency selections, as single wagers, at appropriate odds.
  • Miscellaneous
    • Underdog reserves the right in its sole discretion not to accept certain Sportsbook wagers, or to scale back the stakes (on a per user or aggregate basis).
    • All references to time periods in these Rules relate to the time zone in which the event takes place. For example, a reference to the start time of a football game, relates to the local kick-off time.
    • All information supplied by Underdog is done so in good faith. However, Underdog cannot accept liability for any errors or omissions in respect of any information, such as the posting of prices, runners, times, scores, results or general statistics.
    • Any results or scores of which you may be advised by an Underdog employee or agent (for example during wagering in-play) are provided for guidance purposes only.
    • Users are responsible for ensuring that the selection on which they place a wager is their intended selection. For example, in the case of a competitor bearing the same name as another individual not competing in the relevant event, the onus is on the user to ensure that they know which competitor is being referred to in the relevant market and to ensure that they are placing their wager on their chosen competitor.
    • Please be aware that if you place related or corresponding wagers on a combination of Underdog platforms (and/ or the wagering products of other third parties), it is possible for wagers on one product to be voided in accordance with Underdog terms and conditions, while wagers on another product may stand. You should note that Underdog will have no liability to you in the event that one or more of your wagers on Underdog products are amended or voided in accordance with Underdog Terms of Use, even if your other related wagers stand (and even if you have specifically relied on wagers you have placed on one product in order to place related wagers on another product).
    • Underdog may, in its sole and absolute discretion, decide to suspend wagering on a market at any time (even if such suspension is earlier than anticipated by the Sportsbook Rules). In the interests of maintaining integrity and fairness in the markets, Underdog may also void certain wagers in a market or void a whole market in its entirety.
    • Underdog promotions are available at the discretion of Underdog, and Underdog reserves the right to restrict the availability of a promotion to any person at its absolute discretion.
    • Underdog reserves the right, at our discretion, to perform any and all reasonable investigations on users for the purpose of verifying information about users such as source of funds, background history, and creditworthiness.

    • Defensive Props  - Includes those recorded on both Defense and Special Teams. Half sacks are counted as “over/yes” for “will a player record a sack?”.

    • For season long player prop bets and player award bets, the nominated player must be involved in at least one snap during the regular season game for bets to have action.

    • Player to Record a Hit Markets: if the listed player does not start. If a listed player is in the starting lineup and plays the field, but is pulled from the lineup before getting a plate appearance, wagers will be settled as a loss.

Overview of Player Prop Markets (US Ice Hockey)

  • All proposition markets are graded on the inclusion of regulation and overtime, unless otherwise explicitly stated that markets are for a specified period or 60 minutes. Player Shootout attempts/stats do not contribute unless the market specifically states shootouts.
  • Goals against goalies only include goals they are on the ice for. Empty net goals do not count.
  • Markets such as shots on goal and blocked shots can often be subjective. Official stat provider results are deemed final at all times, and things such as video clips sent to support will not change grading.

Soccer

General Information

  • For soccer betting, the team listed first is the Home Team, unless the game takes place in a neutral venue. For settlement purposes, the first team listed will still be considered the Home Team in this case.
  • Markets will be settled on the official result of the relevant governing body regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result
  • For statistic related markets, the definitions provided within the “terminology” section will be used to determine the settlement of any bets which are placed on:
    • Shots/Shots on Goal Markets
    • Assists Markets
    • Tackles Markets
    • Cross Markets
    • Pass Markets
    • Goalkeeper Save Markets
  • Underdog reserves the right to settle the above markets in accordance with the definitions if there are disputes on official league data.
  • All bets on soccer are automatically settled on the basis of 90 minutes play unless otherwise stated for that particular market. 90 minutes play includes time added on by the referee for stoppages. 
  • Settlement will be at the price prevailing at the time the bet was placed and confirmed. Dates and kick-off times of matches shown on our app are for guidance purposes only. 
  • Underdog reserves the right to void or stand any bet inadvertently accepted after the betting has closed or where the event was resolved or at a stage where the customer could have any indication of the outcome.
  • There is a small possibility that we will inadvertently offer soccer bets in respect of which it is impossible for the outcome to occur (for example, we continue to offer bets on a player to be the first goal scorer in a match after that player has been substituted). While we have implemented systems which aim to prevent this from occurring, in the small number of circumstances where it does, Underdog will void the bets in question (and return the relevant stakes to customers accordingly).
  • For head to head markets where there is a draw/tie option offered, if the market ends in a tie, bets on all other selections will be losers.

Abandoned, Postponed, Venue Changed or Unplayed Matches

  • If a match is postponed past the original date, all undetermined bets will be voided.
  • If the venue of a match is other than what is indicated on our app, the bet will stand provided the match has not been switched to the opponent's ground, in which case the match will be declared void. Notwithstanding this rule, in major international tournaments (e.g. World Cup, European Championships), all venues will be deemed neutral. If the scheduled venue of a match is changed, including if the venue changes to a new venue in a different country, all bets will stand.
  • If a match starts but is later abandoned, all undetermined bets will be voided as long as the match is not played to a finish before midnight local time on its scheduled date.

Terminology

  • “Normal Time” refers to the full length of a game (usually 90 mins plus additional time added on by the referee for stoppages) and excludes any extra time or penalty shootout.

Futures/Season Prop Bets:

  • Bets will be settled based on official results provided by the league. For bets to stand, the number of games deemed to be officially resulted must equal the number of games scheduled when the season begins, unless the outcome has already been unequivocally determined. Any forfeited game that is considered an official result will count towards season long bets.
  • For season long player prop bets and player award bets, the nominated player must be involved in at least a minute during the regular season game for bets to have action.
  • For the purposes of “Regular Season Win Total” markets, games that result in ties are to be treated as losses.
  • For “Best Record” and “Worst Record” markets, dead heat rules apply if multiple teams tie (see Dead Heat section).

Overview of Specific Markets

  • Goalscorer Markets
    • First/Last Goalscorer
      • Own goals do not count for settlement of “First/Last Goalscorer” bets. If any goal is an own goal, the result of the following goalscorer market will count for the settlement of the original one (e.g. Second goal of the game is an own goal. The scorer of the third goal will be settled as the winner for both the second goal scorer and third goalscorer markets.) If the last goal of the game is an own goal, then the second to last goal of the game will be considered the winner for the “Last Goalscorer” market.
      • Bets taken on “First Goalscorer” will be void if that player does not take part in the game or if they come on after the first goal is scored. If a player participates in the game prior to the first goal, the market is active. 
      • Every effort is made to quote the “First/Last Player to Score” odds for all possible players. However, odds for other players are available on request and will count as winners if they score the first/last goal even if they are not named in our lists and non-winners will be deemed ‘losers’.
      • Bets on “Last Goalscorer” will be void if that player does not take part in the game either as a starter or substitute. 
      • In the event of a dispute over the award of a goal for “First/Last Goalscorer” or any other goalscorer markets, settlement will be in accordance with the result given by the governing body of that league within 48 hours of the final whistle (Underdog standard settlement process). Any subsequent changes to the result will be ignored for settlement purposes.
    • Anytime Goalscorer
      • A player will be considered to be a runner and bets will stand should the player play any part in the match. The player does not need to start the game for anytime goalscorer markets to be active.
      • Goals scored in normal time plus additional stoppage time only count for this market. Goals scored in extra time or in a penalty shoot-out do not count.
      • Own goals do not count for settlement of “Anytime Goalscorer” bets.
      • All below markets also abide by the rules outlined above:
      • To Score 2 or More
      • To Score A Hat-trick
      • First Team Goalscorer
      • To Score And Win
      • To Score First Or Second
      • To Score First and Second
      • To Score in First Half
      • To Score in Second Half
      • To Score in Both Halves
      • To Score in First 20 Minutes
      • To Score in Last 20 Minutes
  • Assist Markets
    • First & Anytime assists
    • As determined by Underdog’s settlement guidelines, an assist is defined by the final touch (pass, pass-come-shot, or any other touch) leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal.
    • If the final touch (as defined above) is deflected by an opposition player, the initiator is only given an assist if the receiving player was the likely intended destination of the touch before the deflection.
    • If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, saved by a goalkeeper, or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored directly from the rebound, then an assist is awarded, unless the resulting goal is scored by the same player who had the initial shot, in which case no assist is awarded.
    • If a player shoots or passes the ball and forces an opposing player to put the ball in their own net (Own Goal), then an assist is awarded to the attacking player.
    • For a penalty or a free-kick, the player winning the penalty or free-kick (by being fouled or causing a handball) is awarded an assist if a goal is directly scored, but not if they take it themselves, in which case no assist is awarded.
    • Bets taken on “First Assist” will be void if that player does not take part in the game or if they come on after the first goal is scored (and where an assist is awarded for that goal).
    • For the “First Assist” market only, if a player enters the field of play after the first goal is scored (and where an assist is awarded for that goal), the bet will be voided. If a player is sent off or substituted before the first goal is scored (and where an assist is awarded for that goal) bets on that selection are deemed as losers.
  • Spread Betting (3-way)
    • For the purpose of deciding results on spread betting, the actual score of the match (Team A v Team B) is adjusted for the spread. If Team A or Team B are selected, then the spread adjustment applies to the goals scored by that team. If the draw is selected, then the spread adjustment applies to Team A.
    • For example, spread markets are shown as:
      • Team A (-1)
      • 4.5 Draw (-1) 4
      • Team B (+1) 1.53
    • If Team A wins by 2 or more goals then all bets on Team A (-1) will be winners. Bets on the Draw (-1) and Team B (+1) will be losers (e.g., Team A wins 2-0 so becomes Team A 1-0 after the -1 adjustment so Team A are the spread winners).
    • If Team A wins by exactly 1 goal, then all bets on Draw (-1) will be winners. Bets on Team A (-1) and Team B (+1) will be losers (e.g., Team A 1-0 becomes 0-0 after the -1 adjustment to the home team so it’s a spread draw).
    • If the match ends in a draw or Team B wins by any number of goals, then all bets on Team B (+1) will be winners. Bets on Draw(-1) and Team A (-1) will be losers (e.g., Team A 1-1 Team B becomes Team A 1-2 Team B after the +1 adjustment to Team B so Team B are the spread winners).
  • Tie/Draw No Bet
    • A 2-way money line market where bets are void if the game ends in a tie after normal time.
  • Time of X Markets
    • Bets on “Time of the First/Last Goal”, “Time of First Corner”, and interval bets will be settled as the time shown by the official league data provider.
    • For “Time of First Corner” market, the time that the corner is taken will count.
    • In the event of a dispute, the decision of the official league data will be final.
    • The 1st minute is defined as between 00:00 & 00:59 and so on for every other minute of the game.
  • X - Y Minute Markets
    • "Goal Scored X - Y" markets are defined as betting on whether there will be a goal scored by one of the teams within the time period X - Y (inclusive) of the event’s match clock. Only goals scored within that timeframe will count for settlement.
    • "Corner Awarded X - Y" markets are defined as betting on whether there will be a corner awarded to one of the teams within the time period X - Y (inclusive) of the event’s match clock. Only corners taken within that timeframe will count for settlement.
  • Number of Goals
    • These are known as special spreads.
    • Bets on number of goals include own goals.
    • In the event of an abandoned match all bets on special spreads will be void unless the maximum quote has been obtained. For example, should a customer bet 12 or more corners in a match and that match is abandoned when 13 corners have already been taken then that bet is a winner with all other bets on corners losers.
  • Corner Markets
    • Bets on “Number of Corners” refers to number of corners taken and not corners awarded.
    • For “Time of Corner” markets, the time that the corner is actually taken will count and not the time it was awarded.
    • For "Odd or Even" corner markets, 0 is counted as an even number.
    • Markets for "Race to X Corners" will be settled on whatever team reaches "X" corners first. E.g. Race to 3 Corners will be settled on the first team to take 3 corners in the match.
  • Shots on Target
    • For any bets involving a given player to achieve a number of shots on target, the final determination of the number of shots on target will be made by Underdog, using the definitions below. A shot on target is defined as any goal attempt that:
      • Goes into the net regardless of intent; or
      • Is a clear attempt to score that would have gone into the net but for being saved by the goalkeeper or is stopped by a player who is the last-man with the goalkeeper having no chance of preventing the goal (last line block).
      • Shots directly hitting the frame of the goal are not counted as shots on target, unless the ball goes in and is awarded as a goal.
      • Shots blocked by another player, who is not the last-man, are not counted as shots on target.
    • All “Shots on Target” bets are settled on the basis of 90 minutes’ play (plus injury time) unless otherwise stated.
    • For any “Player Shots/Shots on Target” bets, all bets placed on players that do not take part in the match will be void. Players will be deemed a participant should they enter the game at any point in 90 minutes play plus injury time.
    • For “Combined Shots on Target” markets, the bet will be void if any player named in the selection plays no part in the match, regardless of the overall outcome.
  • Player in Each Half Rules
    • You are betting on a nominated player to achieve the stated stipulation in both the first half and second half.
    • If the nominated player achieves the stated stipulation in the selection, then the selection will be settled as a winner (e.g. if the selection Is Harry Kane to have 1 or more assists in each half and he has an assist in the first half and an assist in the second half, this would be settled as a winner).
    • If the nominated player plays no part in the first half of the match, or indeed any part of the match, then the selection is void (e.g. if the selection is Harry Kane to score 1 or more goals in both halves and Harry Kane is a substitute, but comes on during or after half time, or plays no part whatsoever, the selection would be void).
    • If the nominated player plays any part of the first half and fails to achieve the stated first half stipulation, then the selection is a loser regardless of the duration of their participation in either the first or second half (e.g. if the selection is Harry Kane to have 1 or more shots on target in each half, and he starts the match/comes on during the first half and fails to register a shot on target during the first half, this selection will be a loser regardless of his participation in the second half).
    • If the nominated player plays any part of the first half and does achieve the stated stipulation, but is subsequently withdrawn before or during half time and plays no part in the second half, then this selection will be void (e.g. if the selection is Harry Kane to score 1 or more goals in each half and assist 1 or more goals in each half, and he scores AND assists in the first half but is withdrawn before or during half time i.e. plays no part in the second half, then the selection is void. In this instance however, if he scored but didn’t assist in the first half, the selection would be a loser).
  • Extra Time Markets
    • Extra time markets refer only to the 30 minute period of extra time plus any time added by the referee for stoppages (minutes after 45:00 in first half and after 90:00 in second half). For settlement purposes, this is essentially treated as a new game, and stats (goals, corners etc.) start at zero here. Goals scored in penalty shootout do not count for settlement purposes.
  • Match Penalty Markets
    • Refers only to penalties scored in Normal Time. Penalties scored in extra time or penalty shootouts do not count here
  • Penalty Shootout Markets
    • Refers to results of penalty shootout only. Penalties scored in normal time or extra time do not count here.
  • Top X Finish

  • Tournament Markets
