Football settlement rules

1. All football markets include overtime unless the market name says otherwise.
2. A game must be played to completion, or reach 55 minutes of play, for full-game pools to stand.
3. Results are settled on the official score published by the league once the game ends; later reviews or stat corrections are not considered.
4. A change of venue voids pools only if the game moves to the opposing team's home stadium.
5. If an event is postponed and does not start within 48 hours of the original scheduled start time, every pool on that event is void and stakes are returned.

These rules sit alongside the general pool betting rules and the Terms and Conditions.

Things to know before you bet

• Injury reports are released on Wednesday to Friday in the NFL; a late quarterback change can move a pool heavily before it closes.
• Thursday and international games often have different rest patterns for both teams.
• College point spreads can be much larger than NFL spreads because of the gap between programmes.
• Weather in late-season outdoor games affects totals more than winners.
• Set a deposit or loss limit in your account before you join a pool. Limits can be lowered at any time.
