  • Most Regular Season Wins Handicap Markets – Settlement is determined based on the team with the highest number of regular season wins out of the Selections available at the time the bet was accepted by DraftKings plus such team's handicap specified for the bet. For example only, if Team A has a handicap of 0 wins, Team B has a handicap of +5 wins, and Team C has a handicap of +6 wins and all 3 teams finish the regular season with the same number of wins, bets on the Selection “Team C” will be settled as won.

  • Regular Season Player Props Markets – If less than 98% of the regular season Games of the team the player bet on plays for are Concluded, as scheduled at the time the bet was accepted by DraftKings, such bets on that player will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined.

Penalty runs awarded in an innings or added before an innings commences will count towards the innings they are added to for settlement purposes, unless otherwise stated in these Cricket Sport Rules.

If a Match is abandoned but the Match’s official governing body declares a result using an official method (i.e., the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method for a limited-overs match), the result for the Match declared by the match’s official governing body will be used for settlement purposes.
• Draw No Bet Markets – Predict which team will be the winner. If a Match ends in a Draw, bets on such Match will be settled as Push.
• Double Chance Markets – Predict the Match result to be one of three Selections. Bets will be settled on the official result of the Match, provided at least one delivery has been bowled in the Match.

• Tied Match Markets – Predict if the Match will Conclude in a Tie. Bets will stand on official results except if no delivery has been bowled in the Match. If the Match is abandoned or there is no official result, bets on that Match will be voided. Settlement is only related to the allotted overs for the Match and does not include the outcome of a super over.

• Innings Runs Markets
  • Test and First-Class Matches – If a team declares, that innings will be considered complete for settlement purposes, and settlement will be based on the official score, regardless of the number of wickets lost. For Test and First-Class Matches that end in a Draw, all bets for that Match will be voided if fewer than 200 overs are bowled or if fewer than 60 overs have been bowled in an incomplete innings, in each case, unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined.
  • Limited Overs Matches (for example only, One Day Matches, Twenty20 Matches, T10 Matches, or 100-Ball Matches) – If at least 80% of the scheduled overs (as scheduled at the time the bet was accepted by DraftKings) to be bowled for the applicable innings are not completed due to external factors, including, but not limited to, bad weather, bets on  that Match will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined before the reduction of the scheduled overs. Bets placed on future innings will remain valid regardless of the runs scored in any current or previous innings.
• Innings Total Fours/Sixes Markets
  • Predict whether the total number of fours/sixes in the innings will be over or under a specified figure. Only fours and sixes scored off the bat (off any delivery – legal or not) will count towards the total innings’ fours and sixes for settlement purposes. Overthrows, all run fours, and extras do not count for settlement purposes.

• Test and First-Class Matches – If a Match ends in a Draw, bets on such Match will be voided if fewer than 200 overs are bowled, unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined.

• Limited Overs Matches (for example only, One Day Matches, Twenty20 Matches, T10 Matches, or 100-Ball Matches) – If at least 80% of the scheduled overs (as scheduled at the time the bet was accepted by DraftKings) to be bowled for the applicable innings are not completed due to external factors, including, but not limited to, bad weather, bets on that Match will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined before the reduction of the scheduled overs.

• Both Teams to Score ‘X’ Runs Markets – Predict if both teams will score the specified number of runs. Each inning will be determined to be complete if at least 80% of the overs scheduled, at the time the bet was accepted by DraftKings, have been bowled. If both innings are not determined complete, bets on such innings will be voided. For First-Class Matches that are Drawn, bets on such Match will be voided if fewer than 100 overs have been bowled in either team’s 1st innings, unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined. Only runs scored in the 1st innings count for settlement purposes. If a team declares, that innings will be considered complete for the settlement purposes.

• Grouped Overs Runs Markets – Predict how many runs will be scored in the specified number of overs. If the specified number of overs is not completed, bets on that Event will be voided, unless the team is all out, declares, reaches its target, or settlement is already Unconditionally Determined. Extras and penalty runs in the particular group of overs count towards runs for that group of overs for settlement purposes. In Limited Overs Matches, bets on a Match will be voided if it was not possible to complete at least 80% of the overs scheduled to have been bowled at the time the bet was accepted by DraftKings, due to external factors, including, but not limited to, bad weather, unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined before the reduction of scheduled overs. In these cases, a new market may be created for the same group of overs. In drawn First Class Matches, bets on a Match will be voided if the number of overs specified for the bet in question is not completed, unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined.

In 100-ball Matches, bets will be voided if it was not possible to complete at least 80% of the overs scheduled to have been bowled at the time the bet was accepted by DraftKings, due to external factors, including, but not limited to, bad weather, unless settlement of the bet is already Unconditionally Determined before the reduction of the scheduled overs. In these cases, a new market may be created for the same group of overs.

• Session Runs Markets – Predict how many runs will be scored in the specific session. The total number of runs scored is used for settlement purposes, regardless of which team has scored them. If fewer than 20 overs are bowled in a session, bets on that session will be void unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined.

• Fall of 1st/Named Wicket Markets – Predict whether the 1st or named wicket will fall before or after a specified number of runs has been scored. Settlement is based on the number of runs scored by the batting team at the point the specified wicket falls. If the innings reaches its intended end, including the completion of allotted overs, reaching the target, or a declaration, before the named wicket falls, the final score at the end of the innings will be used for settlement purposes for all current and future named wicket markets. If a batter retires hurt, all bets on that wicket will carry over to the next wicket until a wicket falls or the innings is completed. If a batter retires out on the wicket, all bets will be settled as normal.
  • Test and First-Class Matches – In Drawn Matches, if fewer than 200 overs are bowled, bets will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined.

• Next Over Runs Markets – Predict the total runs scored during the next over of the Match. If the specified over is not completed, bets on that over will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined. If an innings ends during an over, then that over will be deemed to be complete for settlement purposes unless the innings is ended due to external factors, including, but not limited to, bad weather, in which case all bets will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined. If the over does not commence for any reason, bets on such over will be voided. Extras and penalty runs in the particular over count as runs scored in that over of the Match for settlement purposes, unless penalty runs cause the innings or Match to end before a ball is bowled in the over, in which case bets on such over will be voided. Any penalty runs added prior to an innings commencing will not count for settlement purposes. If a run out occurs in the bowler’s run up to end the Match, and no deliveries have been completed in that over, bets on that over will be voided.

• Next Over Runs (5 Balls) Markets – Predict the total runs scored during the next over (five balls) of a 100-Ball Match. If the specified over is not completed, bets on such over will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined.

Any penalty runs added prior to an innings commencing will not count for settlement purposes. If a run out occurs in the bowler’s run up to end the Match, and no deliveries have been completed in that over, bets on such over will be voided.

• Next Over Wicket? (Yes/No) Markets – Any wicket, including run outs, will count for settlement purposes. A batter retiring hurt does not count as a wicket for settlement purposes. If a batter is timed out or retired out, the wicket is deemed to have taken place on the previous ball for settlement purposes. If the specified over is not completed, bets on that over will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined. If an innings ends during an over, then that over will be deemed to be complete for settlement purposes, unless the innings is ended due to external factors, including, but not limited to, bad weather, in which case bets on that over will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined. If the over does not commence for any reason, bets on such over will be voided. If a run out occurs in the bowler’s run up, a wicket is deemed to have taken place in that bowler’s over for settlement purposes.

• Next Over Odd/Even Markets – If the specified over is not completed, bets will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined. If an innings ends during an over, then that over will be deemed to be complete for settlement purposes, unless the innings is ended due to external factors, including, but not limited to, bad weather, in which case bets on that over will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined. If the over does not commence for any reason, bets on such over will be voided. Extras and penalty runs in the particular over count as runs scored in that over for settlement purposes, unless penalty runs cause the innings or Match to end before a ball is bowled in the over, in which case bets on that over will be voided.

• Runs Off Delivery Markets – The number of runs added to the team total, off the delivery specified for the bet, will be used for settlement purposes. All illegal balls count as deliveries for settlement purposes. For example only, if any over starts with a wide, then one run for the wide delivery will be the settlement for the 1st delivery, despite there being no legal ball bowled. The next ball will be deemed as delivery two for that over for settlement purposes. If a delivery leads to a free hit or a free hit is re-bowled because of an illegal delivery, the runs scored off the additional delivery do not count for settlement purposes. All runs, whether off the bat or not, are included for settlement purposes. For example only, a wide with three extra runs taken equates to four runs in total off that delivery for settlement purposes. Penalty runs which occur during the delivery count as runs scored off the delivery for settlement purposes. For example only, if the ball hits a fielder’s helmet on the outfield (which results in five penalty runs) while the batters run one, this market would settle as six runs off that delivery. Any penalty runs added prior to an innings commencing will not count for settlement purposes.

• Wicket Off Delivery Markets – Predict whether a wicket will fall in the delivery specified for the bet. If the delivery specified for the bet is not completed, bets on that delivery will be voided. Any wicket, including, but not limited to, run outs, will count as a wicket for settlement purposes. If a batter is retired hurt, the wicket does not count for settlement purposes. If a batter is timed out or retired out, the wicket is deemed to have taken place on the previous ball for settlement purposes.

• Batter Total Runs, Batter Milestone Runs, Batter To Score 50+ Runs, and Batter To Score 100+ Runs Markets – Predict whether the named batter will score more or less than the total number of runs specified for the bet. Bets will be voided if the named batter has not faced one delivery or is not out without facing a delivery in the Match. If the named batter finishes the innings not out as a result of a declaration, the team reaching the end of its allotted overs, or the team reaching its target, the named batter’s score will be the final result for settlement purposes. If the named batter retires hurt, but returns later, the total runs scored by that batter in the innings will count for settlement purposes. If the named batter does not return later in the Match, the statistics at the time that batter retired will be used for settlement purposes.
  • Test and First-Class Matches – In Drawn Matches, if fewer than 200 overs are bowled for such Match, bets on that Match will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined.
  • Limited Overs Matches (One Day Matches, Twenty20 Matches, T10 Matches, or 100-Ball Matches) – If at least 80% of the scheduled overs are not completed in either innings due to external factors, including, but not limited to, bad weather, bets on that Match will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined, or goes on to be Unconditionally Determined. Settlement will be Unconditionally Determined if the line at which the bet was accepted by DraftKings is passed or the batter is dismissed.

Bets will be voided if the specified batter has not faced one delivery or is not out without facing a delivery in the Match. If a batter finishes the innings not out as a result of a declaration, the team reaching the end of its allotted overs, or the team reaching its target, the named batter’s number of fours/sixes at the point of the declaration, the team reaching the end of its allotted overs, or the team reaching its target will be used for settlement purposes. If the named batter retires hurt, but returns later, the total fours/sixes scored by that batter in the innings will count for settlement purposes. If the named batter does not return later in the Match, that batter’s number of fours/sixes at the point the batter retired will be used for settlement purposes.

If no further wickets fall after the bet was accepted by DraftKings, bets for this market will be voided.

• Batter Method of Dismissal (Out) Markets – Predict the method by which the batter specified for the bet will be out. If the batter specified for the bet is not out, bets on that batter will be voided. If the batter specified for the bet retires, and does not return to bat later in the Match, all bets on such batter will be voided. Bets will not be voided solely because the batter specified for the bet returns to bat later in the Match and is out. Caught and bowled is included in fielder catch for settlement purposes.

• Last Batter Standing Markets – Predict which batter will be not out at the completion of the innings. If there are two or more batters who are not out upon completion of the innings, the last batter to face a delivery (legal or not) will be considered the batter not out at the completion of the innings for settlement purposes. Players will be deemed to have been out for settlement purposes if they were no longer at the crease having retired hurt or did not bat. If more than 11 players bat in an innings, bets for that innings will be voided. In a Limited Overs Match, bets on such Match will be voided if the innings have been reduced in any way due to external factors, including, but not limited to, bad weather. If a Selection does not Participate in the innings, bets on such Selection will be voided. A bet on a Selection that Participated in the innings will not be voided solely due to the Selection being a substitute.

• Once a shot is played from the Green, that shot and all subsequent shots are considered putts, regardless of the club used, or lie the shot is taken from. Shots using a putter from off the Green before the golfer’s 1st shot on the Green do not count as putts for settlement purposes.
• Distance measurements of all shots are rounded to the nearest whole number for settlement purposes. Any distances with a decimal less than 0.5 will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and any distance with a decimal of 0.5 or higher will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

▪         If the non-conceding golfer or team has not finished the hole and would win the hole by only one stroke if they holed their next shot at the point of concession, based on both the conceding and non-conceding golfers or teams score for the hole at the point of concession, the non-conceding golfer or team will be deemed to have holed their next shot for settlement purposes, regardless of the distance the ball is from the hole. For example only, if Golfer A has hit three strokes on the hole, Golfer B has hit four strokes on the hole, and neither golfer has holed out, then Golfer B concedes the hole, Golfer A will be deemed to have made her next shot for settlement purposes, regardless of the distance from the hole, meaning Golfer A will be deemed to have made a four on the hole for settlement purposes.

▪         If the score on the conceded hole for the non-conceding golfer or team cannot be established for settlement purposes, bets on such golfer or team for such hole will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined. For example only, on a par five hole, Team A has taken three shots, Team B has taken five shots, and neither team has holed out, then Team B concedes the hole; A bet on Team A to make a par or better on the hole would be settled as won, since settlement was already Unconditionally Determined (i.e., the best score Team B could have on the hole is a six, so Team A would only win the hole with a par or better); however, bets on Team A to make birdie or better on the hole will be voided since settlement was not already Unconditionally Determined (i.e., Team A would win the hole with a par).

• If the golfer on the team that loses the hole does not hole out, bets on such losing golfer or team will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined. For example only, on a par four hole, Golfer A has taken four shots but has not holed out, Golfer B then makes a birdie on the hole; a bet on Golfer A to be birdie or better on the hole would be settled as lost, since settlement was already Unconditionally Determined (i.e., Golfer A had already missed his birdie shot). For another example only, on a par five hole, Golfer A has taken three shots but has not holed out, Golfer B then makes an eagle on the hole; a bet on Golfer A to be birdie or better on the hole will be voided, since settlement was not already Unconditionally Determined (i.e., Golfer A could have still made his birdie shot).
• If a hole is won by hammer rejection, bets settled based on the stroke score for the hole will be voided unless settlement is already Unconditionally Determined. If a hole is won by hammer rejection, the hole winner is the golfer or team who played the hammer for settlement purposes.
• If there are any shot clock penalties assessed on a hole prior to the hole being completed, such penalties will be included for settlement purposes.

For further example only, Golfer B makes a shot, and then the opposing golfer concedes the hole; as a result of winning that hole, Golfer B’s team is awarded the point in the Competition that wins the Competition for Golfer B’s team (in such case, bets on Golfer B as the Selection would be settled as won, and bets on all other Selections would be settled as lost). For further example only, Golfer C makes a shot and then the opposing golfer misses a shot to lose the hole; as a result of winning that hole, Golfer C’s team is awarded the point in the Competition that wins the Competition for Golfer C’s team (in such case, bets on Golfer C as the Selection would be settled as won, and bets on all other Selections would be settled as lost) If there is a tie in the applicable Competition, all applicable bets for such Competition will be voided.
• Day or Session Markets – If any match(es) do not Conclude within the day or session(s) specified for the bet, the results of such match(es) will still be attributed to that originally specified day or session(s) for settlement purposes.

  • All MMA Sport Rules apply to MMA Live Same Game Parlays. If there is a conflict between these MMA Live Same Game Parlay rules and any other rule in these MMA Sport Rules, solely as they relate to a MMA Live Same Game Parlay, these MMA Live Same Game Parlay rules prevail. 

• Bets will not be voided solely due to a fighter retiring or leaving the relevant organization for any reason. 
• To Be Champion Markets – A fighter being awarded an interim title or becoming interim champion does not count as the fighter becoming champion for settlement purposes. If a fighter division does not have a champion on the date specified for the market, all bets on a champion for that fighter division will be voided. If the title for champion for a fighter division is not contested at least once by the date specified for the bet, bets on champion for such fighter division will be voided.
• To Be Ranked Markets (for example only, Fighter to be Ranked in the Top 5) – To be ranked in the relevant position includes the champion as well as, and including, the specified ranking number. For example only, to be ranked in the top five will have six positions: the champion plus positions one through five.
• Match Bet Markets – Predict which fighter will have the highest ranking on the date specified for the market. Highest ranking means champion and below (i.e., a fighter with a ranking of two is ranked higher than a fighter with a ranking of three). Champion is ranked higher than the number one position and any interim champion. If a fighter is unranked on the date specified for the bet and the other fighter is ranked on the date specified for the bet, the ranked fighter will have the higher rank for settlement purposes. If both fighters specified for the bet are unranked on the date specified for the bet, such bet will be voided.

• If a Fight starts, is then Interrupted, and the Fight’s official governing body declares the Fight will not be resumed, any Pre-Match Same Game Parlay on that Fight that contains a losing leg at the time of the Interruption will be settled as lost.
• If a Fight starts, is then Interrupted, and the Fight’s official governing body declares the Fight will not be resumed, any Pre-Match Same Game Parlay on that Fight that does not contain a losing leg at the time of the Interruption will be voided. 
• If the outcome of a leg in a Pre-Match Same Game Parlay is a tie, and “Tie” was not offered as a Selection for that leg at the time the Pre-Match Same Game Parlay was accepted by DraftKings (for example only, “Race to X Knockdowns” where neither fighter reaches the number of knockdowns specified for the market and “Tie” was not offered as a Selection), then such Pre-Match Same Game Parlay will be settled as lost.

• Point Spread Markets – If a fighter wins via knockout/technical knockout, submission, or disqualification, bets placed on the winning fighter will be settled as won. If the Fight requires a decision via the judges’ scorecards, the point spread will be applied to the fighter’s combined total points.

• Round Betting, Method of Victory, and Exact Method of Victory Markets – If the Fight is stopped by the referee or the doctor due to an injury or disqualification, the Fight will be considered to conclude in a technical knockout for settlement purposes.

    • “Shot Off Target” means a deliberate attempt to score that misses the target, without contact from a player diverting the ball from on target to off target. A shot hitting the frame of the goal is classified as a Shot Off Target unless the ball subsequently enters the net. A blocked shot is not classified as a Shot Off Target.
    • “Body Part for Goals/Shots” means attributing a goal or shot event to the following four body parts: right foot, left foot, head, or other. Foot includes any connection with the leg.
    • “Location for Goals/Shots” means the position of the ball when the shot is taken (i.e., shot origin). Any shot originating on a line will be settled as inside that area. For example only, a shot on the 18-yard line will count as being inside the 18-yard line.
    • “Goal Assist” means the final touch from a teammate, which leads to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal. If the assist is deflected by an opposition player, it must be deemed as travelling to the goal-scorer irrespective of the deflection. For an own goal, direct free kick goal, and direct corner goal, a Goal Assist will not be awarded for settlement purposes. A Goal Assist will not be awarded for penalties for settlement purposes, unless the penalty taker chooses to pass the ball for another player to score.
    • “Tackle” means a player connects with the ball in a legal, ground level challenge and successfully takes the ball away from the opposition player. The tackled player must be in controlled possession of the ball to be Tackled by an opposition player. A “Tackle Won” is when the tackler or one of their teammates regains possession because of the challenge, or that the ball goes out of play and is safe. A “Tackle Lost” is when a Tackle is made but the ball goes to an opposition player. Both are categorized as Tackles for settlement purposes, but the outcome of the Tackle (won or lost) is different based on where the ball goes after the Tackle.
    • “Foul Conceded” means any infringement penalized as foul play by a referee that results in a free-kick or penalty event. Offsides are not given as a Foul Conceded for settlement purposes. Incidents where a match official has played advantage and subsequently cautioned a player do not contribute towards the total foul count for the player or team for settlement purposes. In a Foul Conceded scenario, a free-kick or penalty event must occur for a foul to be awarded for settlement purposes. Collection of the foul event is settled only on the referee awarding a free-kick or penalty and not the taking of either.
    • “Foul Won” shall mean when a player wins a free kick or penalty for their team after being fouled by an opposing player. Collection of the foul action is settled only on the referee awarding a free-kick or penalty and not the taking of either. There are no Fouls Won for a handball, dive, back pass, illegal restart, dissent, goalkeeper 6-second violation, or obstruction where a free kick is conceded.
    • “Offside” means an action attributed to the player deemed to be in an offside position when a free kick is awarded. If two or more players are in an Offside position when the ball is played, the player considered to be most actively involved is given Offside for settlement purposes.
    • “Save” means a goalkeeper prevented the ball from entering the goal with any part of their body when (i) facing an intentional attempt from an opposition player or (ii) an unintentional or misplaced efforts on target from a goalkeeper’s own teammates that was not a routine collection of the ball. If after a goalkeeper’s intervention, a more prominent defensive action from a teammate prevents the ball from entering the goal, this will be categorized as a block for the teammate for settlement purposes, not a Save for the goalkeeper. If the ball goes behind the goal because of a goalkeeper intervention, the match officials must award a corner for it to be recognized as a Save.
