General Rules
Official games times
Bets on the full game are considered official once there are only 5 minutes remaining.
- NBA: After 43 minutes of play
- NCAA or any other League*: After 35 minutes of play (*including FIBA, NBA Summer League, and WNBA, unless otherwise specified).
Bets on 1st half, 2nd half, or quarters will have action only upon full completion of the half or quarter in question.
If the official time of play is not completed, bets on the spread, total, or money line are treated as no action, and all parlay and teaser bets will be reduced accordingly.
The game must be played on the scheduled date and site.
Any market whose outcome has already been determined will have action, even if the game is suspended after that point.
Suspended / postponed basketball games (USA Leagues)
For bets on NBA, NCAA, or WNBA to have action, the event must be deemed official by 5:00 am and at the originally scheduled location.
- If a game is postponed/suspended AFTER it has already been deemed an official game, wagers will be graded based on the official times.
- When a game is postponed/suspended BEFORE it begins, and it will not be played that day, all bets have no action, and stakes will be refunded.
- When a game is in progress and delayed BEFORE it has been deemed official, the game must be resumed and completed by 5:00 am (in the time zone where the game is played) for bets to have action.
If for any reason the location of the game is changed from the original site, all bets placed prior to the change in venue will be no action.
Regardless of suspensions, all wagers placed on markets whose outcomes have already been determined will have action.
PLAYOFFS > All postseason wagers will have action, as long as the game is completed within 30 days from the original start date.

Overtime rules
Any scores that happen in the overtime period will count towards bets placed on the full game and the second half (this applies to point spread, money line, and total bets).
Overtime does not count towards any 4th quarter bets.
These rules apply to all leagues.
NOTE: In international basketball (FIBA), teams sometimes play two legs against each other as part of a playoff/tournament. It is possible for an individual leg to end in a tie (the game will not go into an overtime period). In such cases, bets on the money line will have no action. Bets on the spread or total will have action and are graded based on the final score of the leg.
Proposition Bets
Player Props
For individual player props, the player must take the court and play for action. Results are based on the official stats from the game.
If a game is suspended with over 5 minutes remaining in regulation time, all player prop bets will have no action and stakes will be refunded, unless the outcome has already been determined (for example, if a player has already scored over the total points assigned to them).
If a game is suspended with under 5 minutes remaining in regulation time, all player prop bets will have action.
NOTE: Regulation time in NBA is 48 minutes, and 40 minutes for all other leagues (NCAA, WNBA, NBA Summer League, FIBA, and other international leagues, unless otherwise specified)
Team totals and special spreads
When playing this type of bet, the game must be completed within 5 minutes of regulation time for bets to have action, unless the outcome has already been determined, in which case bets have action even in the case of a game being suspended.
- NBA: Regulation time is 48 minutes. Games must reach 43 minutes played for bets to have action.
- Any other league (NCAA, FIBA, WNBA, Summer League NBA): Regulation time is 40 minutes. Games must reach 35 minutes played for bets to have action.
