All games must start on the scheduled date (local time) for bets to have action. If a game has been postponed or canceled before its due start time then all bets will be deemed no action.
Non-MLB Baseball (including Minor League Baseball) - No listed pitchers and all bets are action regardless of who pitches for each team. 8½ innings rule applies although, in the event of a Mercy Rule being called, all bets will stand on the score at the time. For 7 innings games played as part of a doubleheader, the 6½ inning rule will apply.
In 2-Way markets, Push rules apply unless otherwise stated below. Stakes on single bets are returned, and in multiples/parlays, the selection is treated as a non-runner.
MLB Wagers
It is the client's responsibility to ensure they are aware of any relevant pitcher changes. For game Money Line/Total/Run Line Betting the rule is team against team regardless of the starting pitcher. Each team's starting pitcher is defined for wagering purposes as the pitcher that throws the initial pitch. Pitchers can be specified when placing wagers. For any suspended MLB playoff game that resumes within 72 hours of the suspension, all bets will stand and be settled after the completion of the game. If the game is not completed within 72 hours following the time of suspension, then all bets will be void unless settlement of bets is already determined.
Matches Not Played as Listed
If the match venue is changed then bets already placed will stand provided that the home team is still designated as such. If the home and away team for a listed match are reversed, then bets placed based on the original listing will be void.
4½ Innings Rule Money Line
There must be at least 5 full innings of play unless the team batting second is leading after 4½ innings, for bets to stand. If the game is called, or suspended, after this point of the game is reached, then the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning (unless the team batting second scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called). Please note that suspended games do not carry over (except MLB play-off games - see specific rule). However, in the event of a Mercy Rule being called, all bets will stand on the score at the time.
