HOUSE RULES
_________________
Last Update: October 2, 2024
GENERAL SPORTS RULES POLICY
Settlement of our listed Outcomes are governed by the following conditions, except where the rules relating to a particular sport or Outcome provide otherwise. Where there is a conflict between the following conditions and a particular individual sports rule, the individual sports rule shall prevail.
1. Sports Betting House Rules
1.1. These Sporttrade Betting Rules (“House Rules”), together and with Sporttrade’s Terms and Conditions, (“Terms and Conditions”) are applicable to all wagering/trading activity on the Sporttrade iOS or Android Mobile Apps, or on the Sporttrade Web application. By accessing Sporttrade (as defined in the Terms of Conditions), you acknowledge reading, understanding, and accepting these House Rules, including Section 1 (Sports Betting House Rules) and Section 2 (Sports Specific Rules). These House Rules are subject to change at any time in Sporttrade’s sole discretion, subject to any required regulatory approvals, and shall be immediately in effect and binding on you. Sporttrade’s final determination as to the interpretation and application of the House Rules and the Events, Outcomes, prices, Outcome settlements, and commissions is binding on you.
1.2 Only eligible individuals 21 years of age or older, not excluded, and located in the Commonwealth of Virginia may place an order.
1.3 Individuals may not act as an agent or proxy to place orders on behalf of another.
2. Orders
2.1. Sporttrade accepts orders on its posted terms unless otherwise posted or noted on printed media.
2.2. Sporttrade reserves the right to suspend or close trading on any Outcome at any time (notwithstanding any parts of the House Rules) and may backout trades in a Outcome or cancel an Outcome, subject to restrictions on voiding wagers as may be set by the applicable regulatory authorities of the Virginia Lottery.
2.3. Sporttrade reserves the right to reject any order at any time.
2.4. The maximum size of any one order than can be submitted by a Member is a risk of $200,000.00.
2.5. Orders placed by customers on Outcomes which are In-Play may be subject to a delay at Sporttrade’s discretion.
2.6. An Outcome resulting in a “push” (meaning the Outcome has neither occurred nor not occurred) will be declared “no action” and refunded unless the Outcome under which the Outcome is listed also includes a “Draw”, “Tie” or equivalent Outcome, in which case the “Draw”, “Tie” or equivalent Outcome will settle at $100, and the other Outcomes in the Outcome will settle at $0.
2.7. Outcomes listed on Events that have either not started or have not met the minimum length for an Event to be official, will result in the Outcome being voided. When an Outcome is voided, the customer’s unfilled resting orders will be canceled, her position risk will be refunded, her commissions incurred will be refunded, and her closed profit/loss on the Outcome will be reversed.
For the avoidance of doubt, when an Outcome is voided, any customer who has placed at least one order on the Outcome will have her available funds reset as if she had never placed any orders on the Outcome.
2.8. Prohibitions exist that restrict the acceptance of wagers; No person shall make any unauthorized wager or conduct any sports betting activity on its premises or through any online or electronic means unless in accordance with the act, the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Virginia Lottery, or the laws and regulations governing other betting activities which are licensed or approved by an agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
2.9. Sporttrade reserves the right to restrict, suspend, limit, or otherwise revise the availability of a promotion on a customer by customer basis.

6.1.2. If a governing body of a league rules that a team/individual must forfeit a game/Event due to any circumstances, in advance of the game/Event being started and/or completed on the field of play; all Season long Team and player statistical props and Outcomes related to that game/Event shall be eligible for settlement.

For example, if “Bryce Harper Over 0.5 Home Runs” is a listed Outcome in the “Philadelphia Phillies at St. Louis Cardinals” Event, and Bryce Harper hits a home run in the 3rd inning, and the game is rained out in the 4th inning, the “Bryce Harper Over 0.5 Home Runs” Outcome will have already been determined to have occurred, and will have Settled at $100.

6.5 Proposition Outcomes in respect a team or a player's performance over a series of games or Events (e.g., a best-of-7 series) will be declared “no action” and refunded if the nature of the series is changed (e.g., a series that is originally scheduled to be best-of-7 is changed to best-of-5 or best-of-3), regardless of the status of the wagered Outcome, unless the Outcome has been determined to occur, or not occur prior.
6.6 Subject to Sections 8.3. and 8.4, proposition Outcomes in this Section will be eligible for settlement regardless of the failure of any player and/or team to compete for any reason, including but not limited to coaching discretion, injury, illness, change in contractual status, trade, load management, failure to qualify, suspension, sanction, incarceration, or disciplinary action(s) levied against a player or team.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any subsequent vacancy of a title will not be recognized, and Outcomes will not be resettled.
7.2. For futures Outcomes where participants are declared a tie, the Dead Heat rules apply.
7.3.

7.4. Certain teams or participants may not be offered as a listed Outcome due to regulatory requirements. If such a team or participant is the winner of the game or Event, then all listed Outcomes on the game or Event will settle at $0.
8. Results and Settlement
8.1. An Outcome will be settled on the date of the Event's or the Outcome's conclusion and in the time zone in which the Event takes place.

8.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sporttrade may result and settle an Outcome prior to the completion of said Event or Outcome, including, but not limited to, by settling some, but not all, Outcomes in a Market. An example would be a “To Win” Market in a golf Event. Outcomes listed on players who have missed the cut may be settled at $0 before the end of the Event.
8.4. Sporttrade reserves the right, subject to approval from VA Lottery, to void any Outcome if the Outcome result This cannot be determined to Sporttrade satisfaction.

8.6.

9.1.3. For Outcomes listed on things not including a team sport: if the scheduled venue is changed after an Outcome is listed, the Outcome will NOT be voided, and will be eligible for settlement.
10. Dead Heats
10.1. Dead heat rules apply when there are two or more Outcomes in a Market that result in a tie.
10.1.1. If a dead heat exists to win an outright Outcome, the Outcome settlement price will be calculated by dividing (A) $100, the maximum settlement price of an Outcome, by (B) the total number of Outcomes in the Market which have been determined to be “dead heat finishers”.
10.1.2. If a dead heat exists in a “To Finish in the Top ‘X’” Market, the Outcome settlement price if the sum of the number of dead heat finishers and the finishers who placed ahead of such dead heat finishers (if any) exceeds ‘X’ will be calculated by multiplying (A) $100, the maximum settlement price of an Outcome, with the (B); the quotient of (i) the available spots for dead heat finishers in the Top ‘X’ (i.e. ‘X’ minus the number of finishers who placed ahead of such dead heat finishers (if any)) divided by (ii) the number of dead heat finishers.
10.1.2.1. By way of example, suppose a customer had a position of +5 Shares on the “Tiger Woods to Finish in the Top 5” Outcome. Suppose further that Tiger Woods and 3 other golfers tie for fourth place. The “Tiger Woods to Finish in the Top 5” Outcome would payout at $100 multiplied by (2 divided by 4) = $50 per share. The customer’s payout would be $250, (not including any commission).

General Rules
At least ten minutes of official time must elapse in the fourth quarter for listed Outcomes to be eligible for settlement, unless outcomes are unconditionally determined.
Overtime counts towards the settlement criteria for all listed Outcomes unless stated otherwise.
Any Outcomes listed in abandoned or postponed games will be voided unless played within the same scheduling week; which is from Thursday to Wednesday for NFL and Monday to Tuesday for NCAA Football, local stadium time, except for Outcomes that have been unconditionally determined. In the event of a change of venue, all listed Outcomes will be voided, except in cases where the underlying game has already begun. All listed Outcomes on a game that is officially deemed a forfeit will be voided except for those which have been unconditionally determined.
All settlements are based on results and statistics provided by the relevant league’s governing body: www.nfl.com for NFL or www.ncaa.com/stats/football for NCAA Football, unless stated otherwise.
In the Event of a tie, all “To Win” listed Outcomes will be voided.
All Outright Outcomes include playoffs where applicable, with the exception being where “regular Time only” is clearly stated in the Outcome description.
Point Spread (Handicap) and Total Points Outcomes
In Point Spread (Handicap) & Total Points Outcomes, where the listed Outcome is based on a whole number i.e., Over 47 Points or Team A -3 over Team B, the Outcomes will be voided and customers will have any withheld balance returned and any existing available profits. reversed if the score lands on that number.
Overtime counts for the purpose of determining whether a listed Outcome has occurred.
Team Total Points: Overtime counts for team specific total points markets.
Player Prop Outcomes
Outcomes for player propositions will only be valid if the player participates in at least one play, unless stated otherwise. If a player is listed as "inactive" for a game on NFL.com or ncaa.com, all Outcomes will be void. In case of a canceled game, only Outcomes that have already been determined will be considered valid.
Touchdown Scorer: The Outcome that will settle at $100 is the Outcome based on the player who possesses the ball in the endzone. For example - on a pass TD play, the Outcome of the receiver in the endzone is settled at $100 not the QB Outcome.
Player Performance or Player Stat Outcomes: Where an Outcome is based on the performance of a player or group of players in an NFL match, or in Outcomes that are based on aggregate yards featuring passing/rushing/receiving yardage, touchdowns, turnovers, receptions, rush attempts or other events, the player or all players in the Outcome must enter the field of play for Outcomes to be eligible for settlement unless otherwise stated.
Player Sacks: 0.5 sacks are recognized for player sacks. Over/Under Sack outcomes resulting in a push will be voided.
Head to Head Outcomes: Head to Head outcomes will be based on player statistics (e.g., Passing yards, Receiving yards, Rushing yards). The player with the higher of the noted statistics will be deemed the winner. Ties will be voided. All players in the Outcome must enter the field of play for Outcomes to be eligible for settlement unless otherwise stated.
Futures/Other Props
Regular Season Award Markets: The nominated player must participate on the field, court, course of play, or the like in at least one game during the regular season for Outcomes to be settled. In the event that a player does not participate on the field of play, and is not elected award winner, the Outcome on that player will settle at $0. Any ties, should they occur, would be settled in the dead head format.
Regular Season Wins: The teams listed on the Outcome must finish all scheduled regular season games (using the schedule from the first week of the regular season) for the Outcome to be valid, unless the Outcome has been unconditionally determined and the remaining games during the season would not affect the Outcome. If the location of a game is changed, the Outcome will still be valid. Forfeited games that are considered official results will be included in the Outcome of season-long markets. In case of a tie, it will be considered a loss for the settlement of this market.
Example 1: One regular season game is canceled for a team that has 10 regular season wins. With a win total of 9.5 regular season wins, this Outcome is unconditionally determined and the Over 9.5 regular season wins will settle at $100 while the Under 9.5 regular season wins will settle at $0.
Example 2: One regular season game is canceled for a team that has 3 regular season wins. With a win total of 6.5 regular season wins, this Outcome is unconditionally determined and the Over 6.5 regular season wins will settle at $0 while the Under 6.5 regular season wins will settle at $100.
Example 3: One regular season game is canceled for a team that has 8 regular season wins. With a win total of 8.5 regular season wins, this Outcome is not unconditionally determined. Therefore, both the Over 8.5 regular season wins and the Under 8.5 regular season wins will be void.

Soccer
General Rules
All soccer Outcomes will be settled in accordance with official league results unless otherwise specified. All Outcomes on soccer are automatically on the basis of 90 minutes' play unless otherwise stated for that particular Outcome. 90 minutes' play includes time added on by referee for stoppages. This does not include extra time, penalty shoot-out, or golden goal.
For matches that are scheduled for a lesser duration (e.g., 60, 70 or 80) as agreed by the laws of the competition in which they are competing or agreed by both sides prior to kick-off. In such cases, all Outcomes will be settled at the end of the agreed game length which includes time added on by the referee for stoppages whether the game length is advertised by Sporttrade or not.
Results, Goal Line, and Total Goals Outcomes: Outcome settlements are determined by the final score at the conclusion of regulation. This encompasses any additional injury or stoppage time, but excludes extra time, penalty shoot-outs, or golden goals.
To Advance Outcomes: Outcome settlements are based on the results after considering extra time, in addition to the final score at the end of regular play. This includes any added injury or stoppage time but does not account for penalty shoot-outs or golden goals. The Outcome that settles at $100 will be the team that moves forward to the next phase of the contest or secures the championship title.
All Outcomes on an unplayed or postponed match will be voided if the event has been moved to more than 48 hours in the future. If the venue of the match changes, Outcomes will remain eligible for settlement as long as the Home Team remains designated as the Home Team or the venue is changed to a neutral site. Outcomes will be voided if these criteria are not met for venue changes.
In circumstances where over 90% of the scheduled match time has been completed and the referee ends the match before the allotted time has elapsed then Sporttrade will use that result for the settlement of all Outcomes.
If a match is abandoned after the match has started, all Outcomes will be voided except for those which have been unconditionally determined. If a suspended match is continued from the point of Suspension and completed before the end of the next calendar day, then all Outcomes on the match will be eligible for settlement. If a suspended match is not continued from the point of suspension and completed before the end of the next calendar day, then all Outcomes will be voided except for those which have been unconditionally determined.

If the match is suspended before the completion of regular time, then the Outcome listed on the last goal scorer shall settle at $100, and all other Outcomes shall settle at $0. If the match is suspended before the completion of regular time, and no goal, or only an "own goal" has been scored, then all Outcomes will be voided. Please note that "own goals” do not count, should the last goal of the game be an "own goal", the Outcome listed on the last player who scores the goal before the "own goal" will settle at $0. If the "own goal" is the only goal of the game, 'no goalscorer' will be settled as the winner.

In the event of a tennis match not taking place or if a player is given a walkover, Outcomes on the match are deemed void.
In the event of a change in the number of sets to be played, Winner Outcomes will be eligible for settlement, all other Outcomes will be voided.
Regardless of changes in venue, court surface, or transitioning between indoor and outdoor settings, all trades remain valid and active.
In the event that a game is postponed, disrupted, or rearranged due to factors such as weather disturbances, insufficient lighting, or unforeseen circumstances, all trades on the match will remain active and valid until the conclusion of the match.
Winner Outcome
In the case a player withdraws or is disqualified once the match has started, trades made on the Winner market will remain in effect, as long as at least one Set has been completed, otherwise these trades will be void.
Total Games Outcomes and Games Spread Outcomes
In case a player withdraws or is disqualified once the match has started, trades made on any Total and Spread markets will be made void unless unconditionally determined.
Tiebreakers and super tiebreakers in tennis are recognized as one game
For instance, if a set is tied at 6-6, a tiebreaker is required. If the outcome of this tiebreaker is 7-5, then the set's final score will be 7-6. In this situation, the total number of games accounted for in the set is 13.
In doubles matches, and sometimes in other cases, a super tiebreaker may be played instead of a traditional third set. This is usually a race to 10 points with a 2 point advantage. Similar to regular tiebreakers, this super tiebreaker also counts as a one game.
Total Sets Outcomes and Set Spread Outcomes
In case a player withdraws or is disqualified once the match has started, trades made on any Total and Spread markets will be made void unless unconditionally determined.
For instance, in a best-of-three sets tennis match featuring Novak Djokovic against Rafael Nadal, where Djokovic leads 1-0 and withdraws during the second set, trades on Djokovic +1.5 sets would be deemed winners, while wagers on Nadal -1.5 sets would lose. This is because, with Djokovic's withdrawal, it's mathematically impossible for him to lose by more than 1.5 sets under any circumstances.
Similarly, if the match is tied at 1-1 in sets, in a best-of-three scenario, and either player withdraws before the match is complete, trades on over 2.5 sets would be settled as winners, and those on under 2.5 sets as losers.
Futures/Other Props
Tournament Winner: The winning player in the given tournament will be the one that moves forward to the final phase of the contest and secures the championship title.
