All games must start on the scheduled date (local time) for bets to have action. If a game has been postponed or cancelled before its due start time then all bets are 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 there are three options to choose from:
Action - 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.
One Specified Pitcher - A wager on or against one specific starting pitcher regardless of the other starting pitcher. Specified pitcher must start or wager is deemed no action.
Listed Pitchers Must Start - A wager that specifies both starting pitchers. Any variation constitutes no action. Wagers with One Specified Pitcher and Listed Pitchers Must Start that were placed when the named pitcher was originally listed are no action if the listed pitcher is changed and is then re-listed back to the original pitcher.
Wagers placed on the named pitcher, after being re-listed, are action.
In the event of a change in one or both starting pitchers prior to the start of a baseball game then the Money Line/Total/Run Line Betting may be adjusted. If one scheduled starting pitcher starts against an unscheduled starting pitcher, or both starting pitchers were unscheduled, then all Action and live One Specified Pitcher wagers will be computed at the opening price/line established with the new starting pitcher(s).
Double pitching change, where a listed pitcher is changed then re-instated for betting purposes, bets will be treated as a normal pitching change.
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 a match venue is changed then bets already placed will stand providing 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 (with the exception of 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.
6½ Innings Rule
Total and Run Line betting (for 7 innings games) - The game must go at least 7 full innings (or 6½ innings if the team batting second is ahead) for bets to have action. However, in the event of a Mercy Rule being called, all bets will stand on the score at the time. Please note that suspended games do not carry over.
8½ Innings Rule
Total and Run Line betting - The game must go at least 9 full innings (or 8½ innings if the team batting second is ahead) for bets to have action. However, in the event of a Mercy Rule being called, all bets will stand on the score at the time. Please note that suspended games do not carry over (with the exception of MLB play-off games - see specific rule).
