All funds in Accounts are held in a separate account held by FC as agent on behalf of and for the sole benefit of iGaming Ontario. Funds deposited via a payment provider may take a few days to clear before they appear in this Account, during which time they will be held in the account of the relevant payment provider. The funds in your Account are held to satisfy any payment obligations you may incur as a result of playing the games on the Services, making sports wagers on the Services or using any of the other products or services supplied by FC. Please note that interest is not payable on the funds held in your Account. In connection with making a deposit, you represent that:
1. All money that you deposit in your Account originates from a payment source of which you are the legal owner and that matches the name on your Account;
2. All money that you deposit in your Account is free from and unconnected to any illegality and, in particular, does not originate from any illegal activity or source; and
3. All payments made into your Account are authorized and you will not attempt to reverse a payment made into your Account or take any action which will cause such a payment to be reversed by a third party in order to avoid any legitimate liability.
All deposits into your Account are subject to appropriate verifications and authorizations to ensure that they are appropriately authorized by a financial services provider. In addition, you accept that all transactions may be checked for the detection of money laundering or fraud and that any transactions made by you which FC or iGaming Ontario deems suspicious may be reported to the appropriate authorities.
You may only use the Services you have sufficient funds to place a Bet through your Account. FC will not extend or grant any credit or lend any money to you or refer you to any credit providers in order to place Bet or use the Services. If your Account has a negative funds balance, your Account will be suspended. No transaction will be permitted until the negative funds balance is eliminated and no Bet will be accepted by FC that could result in a negative funds balance.
Deposits to your Account can be made using several different and convenient ways, as permitted by the AGCO and iGaming Ontario..
Credit Card Chargeback Fees. Each credit card chargeback transaction that you initiate will be assessed a $5.00 fee, applicable against any available cash balance in your Account at the time such fee is assessed. Any credit card chargeback that you initiate requiring pre-arbitration proceedings will further be assessed a $500.00 fee, applicable against any available cash balance in your Account at the time such fee is assessed.
2. Withdrawals. We have a number of controls and checks that take place before any withdrawal request is processed. These checks are part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the security of our customers’ funds. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process your withdrawal request within 5 working days, subject to appropriate authorizations and verifications. We will credit funds to you using the same method used to deposit funds in your Account, whenever this is possible. If the original method used is not available, we will ask you to provide information regarding a second account, along with documentation evidencing that you are the legal holder of the account. The availability of withdrawn funds is subject to standard banking restrictions.
In connection with making a withdrawal, you represent that:
- All money that you withdraw from your Account is transmitted to a payment source of which you are the legal owner and that matches the name on your Account;
- All money that you withdraw from your Account is free from and unconnected to any illegality and, in particular, does not originate from any illegal activity or source; and
- All withdrawals from your Account are authorized and you will not attempt to take any action which will cause such a withdrawal to be reversed by a third party in order to avoid any legitimate liability.

8. Placing Bets
1. Customers can only Bet up to the amount held within their Account or allowed by their bank when customers must fund their Account first or the limit as set out in the House Rules, whichever is the lesser. The minimum and maximum bet per selection is determined exclusively by FC and is detailed on screen.
2. FC reserves the right to accept or decline the whole or part of any proposed Bet.
3. We will inform you whether a Bet you have placed has or has not been accepted. Each Bet will be given an individual number as confirmation of the Bet. Bets will be valid (subject to meeting the criteria for placing a bet laid down in the Terms) if accepted by the FanDuel Sportsbook bet server, whether or not the customer receives the bet code. We are not liable for the settlement of any Bets where we have not issued a bet code or other written confirmation of acceptance of the Bet or where we are unable to display that Bet in the ‘My Account’ pages of the Services. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all details of their Bets are correct. Once a Bet has been confirmed by FanDuel Sportsbook, that Bet cannot be cancelled by the customer, unless the Bet was received after the determination of game outcome associated with the wager. In this case, the Bet will be voided and returned to you. If you have any concern as to whether your Bet has been accepted, please log in and go to the ‘My Account’ pages of the Services where details of all live Bets entered into by you will be displayed.
4. You must exercise your own judgement in placing a Bet. We will not provide you with any advice relating to a Bet, and you hereby confirm that you have not relied on the advice of any FC employee relating to any Bet.
5. You agree to pay us for all Bets that are placed with us using your Account.
6. Bets must be made via the Website or via the Betting Apps.
7. Please familiarize yourself with betting and gaming terminology and how the various bets and games are operated. If you have any questions relating to the foregoing, please contact us. We will provide you with sufficient information to make informed decisions about betting or wagering based on chances of winning, the way the game is played, and how prizes and payouts are made. FC cannot accept any responsibility if you place a Bet in circumstances where you do not fully understand any of the terms involved or how the Bet or game is operated.
8. We will provide you with access to information regarding available sport and event Bets before you place a Bet, including, without limitation, information relating to the odds, payouts, and prices for the Bet. On occasion the prices available across the various Services may not be the same - for example, a price on the FanDuel Sportsbook Website may not be the same as those prices available on other Services. FC accepts no liability for the fact that a customer could have obtained a different price through some other medium.
9. Guaranteed prices and other special offers or promotions are available at the discretion of FC and can be restricted on an individual Account basis at any time.
10. FC is not responsible for any taxes that may be payable by you whether on any Bets, on any winnings or otherwise.
11. With the exception of “Live Betting” events (see Section 10 below for Live Betting rules), Bets are accepted up to the off-time of the event or a pre-determined time, whichever is earlier. However, FanDuel Sportsbook may allow a grace period for some sporting events during which bets will be accepted but we reserve the right to void any or all Bets should we think there has been a significant development in the event prior to placement or purported placement. FanDuel Sportsbook reserves the right to void any Bet if accepted in error after the betting has closed or where the event was resolved or at a stage where the customer could have an indication of the outcome. In such circumstances, we will normally return your stake.
12. FanDuel Sportsbook reserves the right to void any or all Bets made by, any group of people acting in conjunction with each other, or any individual acting alone, in an attempt to defraud FanDuel Sportsbook.
13. Not all participants are quoted in every event. However, a price is available for almost all entries or outcomes in any event. If you wish to bet on an unnamed selection, please contact one of our Customer Support agents and we will try to add this selection to the market.
14. FC may, at its sole discretion and without any requirement to give reasons, exclude any customer from the Services generally or from receiving selected promotions (e.g., guaranteed best price; bonuses; free bets; enhanced prices; and money-back specials) and any other promotions and offers introduced by us from time to time.
15. In the event of there being a dispute over the time at which a Bet was placed or whether a Bet has been placed, then the time at which it was recorded on the transactional log will govern settlement. If an attempted Bet was not recorded on the transactional log, no Bet shall be deemed to have been placed. You should check your Account balance each time you visit the Services.
16. It is a condition of our acceptance of Bets from you, and by offering to place a Bet with us you represent and warrant, that:
1. You are not prohibited from entering into the Bet by any term of your contract of employment, these Terms or any rule of a sport governing body or other professional body of which you are a member, which applies to you;
2. Where the Bet is placed on the outcome of a competition or other event or process or on the likelihood of anything occurring or not occurring (“the event”), you do not know the outcome of the event;
3. You are not misusing Inside Information (as defined in Section 8.22) to place a Bet; and
4. Placing your Bet will not cause you to be in violation of Section 4.5 above.
17. In the event of any representation made by you in Section 8.17 proving to be false, FC reserves the right to void bets, suspend your Account, and we shall not be obliged to pay any winnings which might otherwise have been payable in respect of the Bet.
18. In the event of a warning being received by FanDuel Sportsbook in relation to suspicious or irregular betting patterns and possible instances of event manipulation FanDuel Sportsbook reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to:
1. Suspend or cancel its offering on any event or series of events in any of its markets; and
2. Delay or withhold payment on any event or series of events until the integrity of such event or series of events has been confirmed:
I. by the relevant sports federation or governing body (where applicable); or
II. by FanDuel Sportsbook using its reasonable discretion.
If we decide to suspend or cancel any event or series of events due to suspicious or irregular betting patterns or event manipulation, our decision to do so will be fair, reasonable, and made in good faith.
19. Further, in the case of active event manipulation being confirmed as having taken place on any event or series of events (by the appropriate sports governing bodies or by any other means), FanDuel Sportsbook reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to suspend or cancel any Bets placed on such events, either by any individual identified as having misused Inside Information (defined in Section 8.22) or by any other individual who in the reasonable opinion of FanDuel Sportsbook is connected to, acting in conjunction with, or in any way involved with such individual or the event manipulation.
20. We reserve the right to refuse or limit any Bets or bonuses (for example by setting minimum and maximum amounts which will be set out in the Sportsbook Rules, or by setting wagering requirements), or change such limits, at our sole discretion for any reason whatsoever without any obligation to provide you with notice, except as otherwise required under these Terms.
21. “Inside Information” means any information which has not been made public and, if it were made public, would be likely to have a material effect on the relevant market relating to the event.
Suspension or termination
22. Without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may suspend or terminate your Account or cancel any Bets placed by you at our absolute discretion if:
1. We become aware or suspect that you:
I. Are engaging in illegal or fraudulent activity while using our Services;
II. Are breaching any term of these Terms, including, without limitation, the House Rules;
III. Are taking unfair advantage over us or any other player or are otherwise acting in an unfair manner (for example, by exploiting a fault, loophole or error in our software, by collusion or by any other means); or
IV. May be having difficulties obtaining credit, have become bankrupt, may not be gaming responsibly or that you may have self-excluded; or
2. We are required to do so by law or a regulatory authority, including, without limitation, iGaming Ontario.
23. If you have a question relating to your Account, it is your responsibility to notify FC at the earliest opportunity, providing as much information as FC may require.
24. Following termination or suspension of your Account, we will, in the normal course of business, return any funds in your Account to you. Please contact Customer Serviceto request any funds held in suspended or closed accounts along with applicable tax forms and transactional records associated with the account. However, we reserve the right to withhold the funds in your Account from you pending the determination of any investigation (including, without limitation, any relevant external investigation) where:

2. We have to withhold the funds in your Account by law or to comply with any advice, request or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority.
25. We may, in our sole discretion, suspend or terminate your Account and/or exclude you from the Services if we determine that you pose a threat to the safety of participants in a sporting event or discover that you engaged in the harassment of a sports official, coach, or any participant in a sporting event.
26. If an internal or external investigation reasonably demonstrates that you have acted in breach of these Terms, any other agreement relevant to your activities on the Websites or Betting Apps, or that your Account has been linked with fraudulent or ‘suspicious betting’ activity, we reserve the right to seize some or all of the funds in your Account if instructed by a governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority. The disposition of any funds obtained by us in this manner will be at our sole and absolute discretion or in accordance with any advice, request, or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or law enforcement authority. We will provide you with the reasons for any adjustments that we make to your Account balance. In addition, if formally requested by law enforcement, gaming regulators, or taxation or other authorities, or in the event that you fail to provide us with sufficient information to identify yourself in accordance with our internal procedures or those procedures imposed on us by iGaming Ontario or other authorities, we may suspend your Account and all functionality relating to the use of your Account (e.g. bet management and withdrawal of funds) and withhold from you any funds in your Account pending the final determination of any criminal or other legal proceedings or investigation to which such a request may relate or until you provide the necessary ‘know your client’ or ‘age verification’ information as appropriate.
27. For the avoidance of doubt, at no point during any such suspension or termination period will interest accrue to you on any funds in your Account.
28. Your Rights to Set Daily Limits and Exclude Yourself. You have the right at any time to set daily, weekly, and/or monthly limits for your gaming activity or to exclude yourself from playing games or placing sports wagers on the Services.

9. Suspicious Betting
1. For the purpose of this Section 9, “suspicious betting” shall refer to where we have reasonable grounds to believe that a Bet or a number of Bets have been placed under suspicious circumstances, a player is acting unfairly towards another player, or where there has been cheating, collusion or a betting pattern that deviates, including, without limitation, statistically, from the activity otherwise exhibited by patrons and reasonably expected by us or independent integrity monitor that may indicate potential suspicious activity in the betting or the underlying sport or other event. Suspicious betting shall include, but not be limited to:
1. Where there is an inordinate frequency or highly unusual pattern of Bets (by comparison with betting norms) placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time, including, without limitation, the size of a Bet or increased Betting volume on a particular event or wager type;
2. Where there is an inordinate frequency or highly unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) and where the theoretical probability of said selection(s) winning at the time of Bet(s) placement, based on the odds offered on the selection(s) at the time of bet placement, is largely inconsistent with the theoretical probability of the same selection(s) winning calculated using their starting prices;
3. Where the integrity of an event (or events) has been called into question, including, for example, but not limited to where one (or more) of the participants in an event displays exceptional form which we reasonably believe was known to you or someone connected to you at the time of bet placement but was concealed from the public generally in order to gain an unfair advantage in any bets placed on that event (or those events);
4. Where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets were placed robotically, by automated means, or otherwise than through the Account holder placing each Bet manually via their Account, including, without limitation, through a bot;
5. Where we reasonably believe that you have used unfair external factors or influences connected with the event(s) the subject of any Bet(s);
6. Where we reasonably suspect that you have opened duplicate Accounts or where we reasonably suspect that second or subsequent Accounts are under common control with your Account with a view to concealing the true worth, nature or pattern of Bets placed by you or on your behalf, even if second or subsequent Accounts are opened under different names;
7. Where we otherwise believe, acting reasonably, that you are acting in concert with others or that you are acting other than on your own behalf; or
8. Where we reasonably believe that bets have been placed from a location or Device other than the location or Device which you claim to have used to place a Bet.
2. In the case of any of the activities contemplated by Section 9.1, and without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may, acting reasonably, and depending on the circumstances:
1. Request such further information from you as may reasonably be required by us to investigate whether the Bet or Bets constitute suspicious betting for the purpose of Section 9.1;
2. Suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof) pending the receipt by us of satisfactory evidence from you in order for us to determine (acting reasonably) that a bet does not constitute a suspicious Bet as such term is referred to in Section 9.1. For example, but without limitation, where we suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets may have been placed robotically or by automated means, we may require you to provide reasonable evidence that each Bet was placed manually by you via your Account. You further acknowledge and accept that we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to collect and process any information in connection with your betting patterns, personal data, depositing of funds and any other related information and inquiries that will help us to investigate any suspected breach of these Terms;
3. Suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof), usually for no longer than thirty (30) days but where relevant for such longer period of time as may reasonably be required (for example, pending any investigations by FC, any sports governing body, a gambling regulator, a law enforcement authority or any other third party);
4. Void a Bet or a string of connected Bets (including, without limitation, for example multiples) prior to the event. Where possible, we shall communicate to you in advance that the Bet(s) has (or have) been voided prior to the (first) event the subject of the Bet(s);
5. Calculate any winnings based on the starting price of the event(s) the subject of the Bet(s). Where possible, we shall communicate to you in advance that any Bet(s) will be settled at the starting price; or
6. Where there is an inordinate frequency or unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time and where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the Bets are connected Bets, limit the payment of winnings in respect of those Bets (and where necessary with such limitation applied across multiple accounts) to the maximum payout for individual Bets on any particular market or markets as set out in the House Rules.
3. You must report any suspicious betting to Canada@fanduel.com.
4. Where we have reasonable grounds to believe that you or another player have participated in, or have been connected with, any type of suspicious betting, we shall use our reasonable efforts to investigate such matter, including, but not limited to, through the use of various collusion, suspicious betting, fraud and cheating detection practices which are used in the gambling industry.
5. We reserve the right to terminate an Account if we reasonably suspect any of the activities described in Section 9.1 in connection with that Account.
6. Where a Bet is deemed to be, or is declared, void by us prior to an event, any sum deducted from your Account with respect to that Bet shall be credited to your Account.
7. We reserve the right to seek to recover from you any losses we suffer that are directly or indirectly connected to any of the activities contemplated in Section 9.1.

3. In addition to the rest of these terms relating to Live Betting (which apply equally to our Cash Out functionality), the rules relating to the Cash Out feature are further described here. Please note in particular that for a variety of reasons (including for example technical issues, human error, suspicions of fraud or other improprieties or other issues outside of our control), FanDuel Sportsbook cannot guarantee the availability at all times of the Cash Out functionality, even where the functionality has been advertised in connection with a particular event. Please be aware and accept, therefore, that unless Cash Out is available and successfully exercised in connection with a particular Bet, your initial Bet will, unless otherwise provided in accordance with these Terms, stand as originally placed.
11. Gaming
1. Certain games involve peer-to-peer events via the Services where you will be playing against other customers. Please note that we cannot control certain actions of those customers, who may be for example undertaking fraudulent activities such as colluding with other third parties or using unfair external factors or influences. If you suspect a third party is colluding, cheating or undertaking a fraudulent activity, you must let us know as soon as possible. We will take reasonable steps to prevent and investigate such unacceptable behavior. However, we will not be liable for any loss or damage which you may incur as a result of such third party collusion, fraud, cheating or otherwise illegal activity.

5. If requested by you, will share our data sources that determine the outcome of the Bet to You.

2. In the case of any blatant errors in prices transmitted (including for example where the price being displayed is materially different from those available in the general market or the price is clearly incorrect, depending on all of the circumstances) or if the odds, payout odds or prices of a Bet change prior to our confirmation the Bet, you will have the option of confirming and settling the Bet at the correct price at the time of acceptance of the Bet by us or withdrawing and receiving a refund of the Bet, unless you have enabled the automatic acceptance of changes in Bets.

iGaming Ontario provides a voluntary centralized self-exclusion tool (“BetGuard”) that allows
individuals to self-exclude centrally from all regulated igaming sites in Ontario. Participation
requires creating an account and registering on the BetGuard website.
BetGuard is governed solely by iGaming Ontario’s terms and conditions. FanDuel’s terms and
conditions apply only to FanDuel’s own self-exclusion program and do not govern BetGuard.
You are responsible for following the BetGuard terms and conditions for your centralized self-
exclusion under BetGuard and FanDuel’s terms and conditions for FanDuel’s self-exclusion
program.
Registering with BetGuard does not modify or cancel any self-exclusion you have with FanDuel,
and registering with FanDuel’s self-exclusion does not modify or cancel your enrollment
BetGuard. In particular, your choice of self-exclusion term in FanDuel’s self-exclusion program
may not match your BetGuard centralized self-exclusion term. If you are registered in both
BetGuard and FanDuel’s self-exclusion program, the expiration or ending of a term ending for
one self-exclusion program does not modify or cancel the term of the other program.
If there is any conflict between iGaming Ontario’s terms and conditions and FanDuel’s terms
and conditions regarding BetGuard, iGaming Ontario’s terms and conditions prevail. iGaming
Ontario also has final authority over any iGaming Ontario-Operator, player disputes, or both
related to BetGuard. For further information please review these BetGuard terms and conditions.

- FanDuel Sportsbook does not guarantee that markets will be suspended at the exact time an event occurs or when circumstances change during an event.

- If a bet is accepted on a market where the outcome has already been determined at the time of acceptance, such bet will be void, regardless of whether it is subsequently determined to be a winning or losing bet.
6. Funding of Wager
-
Customers may fund their FanDuel Sportsbook Account as described in Sections 7 and 8 of Part A - General Terms and Conditions.
-
FanDuel Sportsbook reserves the right to restrict or refuse any funding method, transaction, or account activity in accordance with regulatory requirements, internal policies, or risk management procedures.
7. Results and market settlement
- Unless otherwise specified within specific sports rules, all markets will be settled based on the official result declared by the relevant governing body at the time of settlement, regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to results.
- If no official result is available, the result will be determined by FanDuel Sportsbook (acting reasonably) using reliable independent sources. In such cases, if any new information becomes publicly available within 48 hours of settlement, then FanDuel Sportsbook shall (acting reasonably) determine either:
- whether the market should be reinstated or resettled in light of this new information; or
- whether or not to wait for further information before deciding whether to reinstate or resettle the market. Except where FanDuel Sportsbook has announced that it is waiting for further information, any information that comes into the public domain more than 48 hours after a market has been settled shall not be considered by FanDuel Sportsbook (regardless of whether or not such information may have led to a different result).
- Except where FanDuel Sportsbook has notified that it is awaiting further information, any information that becomes available more than 48 hours after settlement will not result in a settlement change.
- In the event of any uncertainty about any result or potential result, FanDuel Sportsbook reserves the right to suspend settlement until the uncertainty is reasonably resolved. FanDuel Sportsbook reserves the right to void any market if the uncertainty cannot be resolved.
- FanDuel Sportsbook may amend or reverse the settlement of a market where:
- the official result differs from the result used for initial settlement; or
- a market has been settled incorrectly due to human, technical, or system error.
- Resettlement may result in adjustments to a customer’s account balance, including the deduction of previously credited winnings.
- Resettlement will occur within a reasonable period following settlement.
- In the event of a withdrawal of a selection after the start of an event due to such selection testing positive for a virus or other disease, all wagers on that selection shall be void.
- All-In Betting – bets are settled whether or not a participant starts or completes the event and no refunds will apply. Markets using All-In rules will be clearly indicated on the FanDuel Sportsbook Betting Apps.
- In the event a player, team or selection wins an outright market (e.g., NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship) but were not offered for betting due to state regulations then all bets placed on that market will be void, unless the market explicitly states that the market is without teams from X State, in which case the winner would be the runner up. In this scenario, if a market named College Football Conference Winner (Without NY Schools) contains a NY team who wins the conference, the winning selection would be the runner-up for the conference, and all bets will be action. If both finalists are from NY in this scenario, the winning selection would be the next highest finishing seed not from NY, utilizing Dead Heat rules if necessary. This does not include cashed out bets, which will be settled at the specified cash out offer received by the customer. For markets with multiple winners (e.g., To Make Final Four), if a non-listed player, team or selection wins, then all bets are action. If a team/player wins who was initially unlisted due to reasons other than state regulations preventing FanDuel Sportsbook from offering the selection, then all bets will be action, and FanDuel Sportsbook customers can request these selections be added.
- Weekly/Daily specials: All relevant games must be played to a natural completion for wagers to stand. In the event one or more game(s) are postponed and/or have a venue change, all wagers in the relevant market will be refunded.
- Regarding player markets. All listed players must participate for wagers to stand. If one or more player(s) listed do not play, all wagers will be refunded.
- Certain markets will be offered on an “all-in” basis. This means that, if a player, team or other competitor is withdrawn from an event before the competitor has taken part in the event, then any bet placed on that player, team or competitor (as applicable) will be deemed a losing bet.
8. Unexpected events and other changes
- If events occur beyond the reasonable control of FanDuel Sportsbook that materially affect an event, competition, or market, FanDuel Sportsbook reserves the right to void, cancel, restrict, or adjust any affected wagers.

- Outcomes that have been mathematically determined; or
- Outcomes where no remaining events could alter the result.
- If a material change to the format or structure of a competition occurs after bets are placed, and such changes removes or materially alter the possibility of an outcome, affected bets will be void unless the outcome had already been determined prior to the change.
- If a competition or event is postponed and rescheduled bets will remain valid, customers may request to void bet prior to the start of the rescheduled event.
- If the competition is not rescheduled with 90 days of the original competition date, all bets will be void.
10. Abandonments, Cancellations, Postponements, Forfeits
- Unless otherwise specified, if an event does not start or is cancelled, all bets on that event will be void.
- If the event does not reach a natural conclusion within 48 hours after the scheduled completion date, then all bets on markets for this event will be void, except for bets on any markets that have been unconditionally determined and cannot change

- If a market has no specific rule listed in Specific Sports Rules, then the following will apply.
- If the scheduled duration of an event is changed after a bet is placed but before the start of the event, all bets on the event will be void, unless otherwise specified.
- Some markets refer to the length of time until an occurrence in the event (e.g., time of first goal). If an event happens in stoppage or injury time after any regular time period then it will be deemed to have occurred at the end of the regular time period. For example, if a goal is scored in first half stoppage-time in a soccer match it will be deemed to have occurred at the 45th minute.
- Unless otherwise specified, all bets apply to full duration of regular time, including stoppage or injury time.
- Extra time, overtime, or penalty shootouts are not included for settlement purposes unless explicitly stated.
- Any reference to a number of days in these Rules shall mean the end of the final day in the local time zone of the event.
13. "To Qualify" markets
- Any “to qualify” market will be determined by the competitor or team that progresses, regardless of whether they subsequently participate in the next round.
- Markets will be settled after the qualifying stage and any subsequent amendment to the competition will not change the settlement of the market.
14. Dead heats
- Dead heat rules apply where there are more winning selections in a market than expected based on the number of available winning positions.
- In the event of a dead heat, returns will be calculated using the following formula:
- Returns = (Stake x (Number of Expected Winners/Number of Actual Winners)) * Odds
- Where two or more selections tie as winner the stake will be divided equally between the number of tied selections and the reduced stake will be settled at the full odds, the remaining portion of the stake will be settled as a losing bet.
- For markets involving multiple finishing positions (e.g., Top 10) the number of available positions will be divided among the tied selections, the stake will be reduced proportionally based on the numbers of positions available relative to the number of tied selections, and the reduced stake will be settled at the full odds.
- Where a selection within a parlay is subject to a dead heat the stake applied will be reduced in accordance with the rules set out in this section.
15. Errors

6.1 General Rules
- These rules apply to Major League, all levels of Minor League, NCAA and World Baseball. World Baseball is defined as a league which is governed outside of the United States.
- All wagers are graded based on the official results published by the relevant league’s governing body (e.g., Major League Baseball).
- If a game does not start on the officially scheduled day (local time), as published by the governing body, due to a rain delay or other deferral, all wagers shall be void.
- If a game that has started is suspended, due to a rain delay or other deferral, and resumes within 48 hours of the originally scheduled start time (local time), then all wagers will stand. If a game is halted and scheduled to resume more than 48 hours after the original scheduled start time (local time), all wagers shall be void unless they have been determined prior to the game’s suspension.
- The 8.5 Innings Rule shall automatically apply unless stated otherwise - e.g., in the section below entitled “Overview of Specific Baseball Markets” (which shall take precedence over this section). If a game is shortened due to a rain delay or other deferral, pre-live and live betting markets which have been determined will stand (irrespective of the 8.5 Innings Rule or whether an official league result has been confirmed).
- Money Line Bets: Results are official after 5 innings (or 4.5 innings if the home team is leading)
- All Other Bets (e.g. Total Runs, Run Line). Results are official only after 9 innings (or 8.5 innings if the home team is leading) unless the outcome has been unequivocally determined.
- In the event of a shortened game, money line wagers become official (and, unless otherwise stated, bets shall be settled subject to the completion of) 5 innings of play, or 4.5 innings should the home team be leading at the commencement of the bottom of the 5th innings (the “4.5 Innings Rule”). Once the visiting team has made 15 outs, should a game be called early and the home team is leading, the results of the game will be determined by the score at the time the game is called. Should a game be called early while it is tied or amid an inning in which the visiting team has taken the lead, the game becomes a “suspended game” and is handled according to the rules surrounding suspended games. All other bets(e.g. Total Runs, Run Line) are official only after 9 innings (or 8.5 innings if the home team is leading) unless the outcome has been unequivocally determined prior to the game being called.
- Extra innings, where applicable, count for settlement purposes.
- In the case of a suspended playoff/post-season game, all bets will stand until the game is completed within 90 days of suspension.
- Should a mercy rule be applied, for settlement purposes, markets (for both pre-match and live betting) will be settled according to the result as determined by the application of the mercy rule.
- For baseball games scheduled to be 7 innings, normal baseball rules will apply with all markets settled as per the official result published by the relevant league’s governing body and in accordance with the below listed rules:
- Money Line bets will be settled as per the “4.5 Innings Rule”;
- Bets on markets that are unequivocally determined will stand (example: bets on 1st inning total runs scored will remain settled as determined if the game gets called in the 3rd inning);
- All other markets (including but not limited to Run Line and Total Runs) will be voided if not already unequivocally determined, unless a minimum of 7 innings are played, or 6.5 innings should the home team be leading at the commencement of the bottom of the 7th inning.
- The above listed rules will govern settlement of all scheduled 7 inning games, including any that are shortened after first pitch.
6.2 Action vs. Listed Pitchers
- When wagering on baseball Money Lines, you may choose to apply one of the following methods to each wager
- Action: All Money Line wagers are defaulted to “Action” meaning all wagers struck will stand if a pitcher change occurs. Wagers will be honored at the odds at bet placement and settled as normal.
- One Specified Pitcher (Home Listed/Away Listed): A wager on or against one Listed Pitcher, regardless of the other Listed Pitcher. If the Listed Pitcher does not start, the wager is “No Action” and will be refunded.
- Both Specified Pitchers: A wager in which both Listed Pitchers must start the game. If both actual starting pitchers are not the ones listed on the wagering ticket, the wager will be deemed “No Action” and refunded.
- All other game markets are considered “Action” and wagers will remain open regardless of any personnel change.
- Listed Pitchers are not relevant to World Baseball markets and bets on such markets will stand regardless of whether any Listed Pitchers do in fact start. Should a game end in a tie, Money Line wagers will be graded as a push with all other markets settled as per the result.
6.3 Player Props
- For all MLB player markets, wagers will be void as per below (unless explicitly stated in market specific rules):
- Pitcher Markets: If the listed pitcher does NOT start the game.
- Batter Markets (Home Runs, Hits, Runs, RBI’s, Total Bases, Stolen Bases): if the listed player is not included in the starting lineup. Specifically for Plate Appearance related markets offered live, players are not required to have met the aforementioned starting qualifications for these markets to have action (ex. Plate Appearance Result for a Pinch Hitter, etc.).
- To Hit a Home Run & Home Run / Game Winner Parlay: Listed players must be included in the starting lineup for bets to stand. Listed pitchers have no bearing on this market.
- For bets to have action on any markets relating to Plate Appearances (Batter Up – 1st Pitch Result, Plate Appearance Result, Batter Up, Pitches Per Plate Appearance, Batter Up Plate Appearance 3-Way, Batter Up Exit Velocity), the plate appearance must occur to completion. Plate Appearance related markets for non-starters (i.e. pinch hitters) that are offered will not be subject to the aforementioned “Batter Markets” action requirements (inclusion in the starting lineup). If a player begins a plate appearance but the inning ends before the plate appearance is completed (e.g. via caught stealing or other base-running out), the appearance shall not count for settlement purposes. If a player begins a plate appearance but the player is removed from the game before the plate appearance is completed, all bets are void unless unequivocally determined (1st Pitch Result, Total Pitches O/U). Any statistics from a plate appearance that did not complete in the previous half inning do not have action, until the plate appearance is completed in the following half inning. If the player does not have another plate appearance in the game, the associated markets will be voided. Pitch-by-Pitch markets do not require plate appearances to be completed for action – once the listed pitch occurs in the listed half-inning, the market will be action.
- Result of Plate Appearance: Listed players must record the relevant plate appearance for bets to stand. If listed players do not record a plate appearance, bets on plate appearance markets for that player will be void. If a player is substituted out of the game between plate appearances, bets on plate appearances that have already occurred will stand. However, bets on future plate appearance markets will be voided. For settlement purposes, hit by pitches (HBPs) will be settled as Walk/HBP. A fielder’s choice, catcher’s interference, or reach on error will all be ruled as an “Any Other Outcome.” A pitch must be thrown in the plate appearance for bets to be action. If no pitch is thrown in the plate appearance (i.e., the pitching team elects to intentionally walk the batter before any pitches are thrown) bets on the market will be void. This will not impact other markets affected by the result (i.e., the intentional walk results in an RBI for the batter).
- Batter Up Markets: Batter Up markets refer to three individual markets offered for each plate appearance (1st Pitch Result, 3-Way Outcome, Total Pitches O/U, and Exit Velocity). Listed players must record the relevant plate appearance for bets to stand. If listed players do not record a plate appearance, bets on that player will be void. If a player is substituted out of the game between plate appearances, bets on plate appearances that have already occurred will stand. However, bets on future plate appearance markets will be voided. A pitch must be thrown in the plate appearance for bets to be action. If no pitch is thrown in the plate appearance (i.e., the pitching team elects to intentionally walk the batter before any pitches are thrown) bets on the Batter Up markets will be void. This shall not however impact other markets which are impacted by the result (i.e., the intentional walk results in an RBI for the batter). For any Batter Up markets to have action, the plate appearance must occur to completion (e.g. if the batter is mid plate appearance and a third out occurs to end the inning, the market will only be settled off the pitches that are thrown in the official plate appearance that occurs to begin the next inning).
- Batter Up - 1st Pitch Markets: Settled based on the first pitch thrown to the listed hitter. For settlement purposes, a reach on error, catcher’s interference, or a foul ball that results in an out will be ruled as an “Hit/In Play.” If a pitcher or batter violation results in an automatic ball or strike to begin the at-bat, the market will be settled based off the outcome of the violation (e.g. if a pitcher violation results in an automatic ball to start the at-bat, ‘Ball’ will be settled as the winning selection).
- Batter Up Plate Appearance 3-Way: For settlement purposes hit by pitches (HBPs) will be settled as “Any Other Outcome”. A fielder’s choice, catcher’s interference, or reach on error will all be ruled as an “Any Other Outcome.”
- Batter Up - Pitches Per Plate Appearance: Automatic balls/strikes that result from pitcher/batter violations will count as pitches for settlement purposes. If any pitch or violation occurs in the plate appearance before an intentional walk is signaled, all bets will have action. The same settlement rules will apply to any Alternate Pitches Per Plate Appearance (X+) markets that are offered.
- Batter Up – Exit Velocity: Exit Velocity markets will be settled according to official results as published by MLB’s Statcast. The result will only refer to the pitch in which ends the official plate appearance. For settlement purposes, the “Under 94.95 mph” selection includes walks/HBPs, strikeouts, and catcher’s interference. Where MLB Statcast data is unavailable, FanDuel will use a secondary source (i.e. official data feed providers) to confirm exit velocity data.
- Pitch-by-Pitch: The pitch must be thrown to the listed batter, during the listed plate appearance, in the listed half-inning, for bets to have action. If no pitch is thrown (i.e. the pitching team elects to intentionally walk the batter before any pitches are thrown), bets on Pitch-by-Pitch markets for that plate appearance will be void. Pitcher and batter violations will count towards settlement of this market. For settlement purposes, the “Hit/In Play” selection includes any hits, battled balls put in the field of play, catcher’s interference, and batted balls that result in an out(s) being recorded (including outs caught in foul territory). In the event that a plate appearance does not occur to completion (e.g. if the batter is mid plate appearance and a third out occurs to end the inning), pitch-by-pitch markets that were offered and have been decided in the listed half-inning will be action, while those that did not occur will be void.
- Batter to Reach Base: Settled on whether the batter will reach base (e.g. has scored or is safely standing on a base at the conclusion of the listed plate appearance). Winning selections include all home runs, and any other outcomes where the listed batter is not ruled out at the conclusion of the play. This includes hits, fielder’s choices, catcher’s interference, and reaches on errors. A pitch must be thrown for bets to action. If no pitch is thrown in the plate appearance, bets on the market will be void.
- To Hit First Home Run: Listed players must be included in the starting lineup for bets to stand. If listed players are not included in the starting lineup, bets on that player will be void. If a non-listed player is ruled the winner, bets on listed qualified players are action. If no Home Runs are hit in the game, “No Home Run” will be deemed the winning selection.
- To Hit Next Home Run: Listed players must record at least one plate appearance for bets to stand. If listed players do not record a plate appearance, bets on that player will be void. Once a player has recorded a plate appearance, wagers made on that player for all subsequent indices (Player to Hit 3rd Home Run, 4th Home Run, etc.) will stand regardless of the number of plate appearances that player ultimately records in the game. If no “Next Home Run” is hit, “No Xth Home Run” will be deemed the winning selection.
- Player to Record a Hit Markets: Listed players must be included in the starting lineup for bets to stand. Once a player has recorded a plate appearance, bets on all subsequent hits markets (2+ hits, 3+ hits, etc.) will stand regardless of the number of plate appearances that player ultimately records in the game.
- To Record Total Bases: Total Bases are recorded through hits. They do not include walks, HBPs, reach on errors, or fielder's choices.

If the market lists the team’s name (e.g., Team X to pitch a Quality Start), rather than the name of an individual pitcher (e.g., Pitcher Y to pitch a Quality Start), then multiple pitchers may be used to accomplish the feat.
- No Hitter: An official no-hit game occurs when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings (minimum 27 outs) thrown by the pitcher(s). If a singular pitcher is listed in the market, that pitcher must individually accomplish the feat for bets to be winners.

- Result of First Half-Inning Pitch: Settled based on the first pitch thrown in the listed half inning. A change to the status of either listed pitcher, or to either line-up, will have no bearing on the settlement of this market. For settlement purposes, a reach on error, catcher’s interference, or a foul ball that results in an out will be ruled as an “other outcome.” Batted balls that result in the plate appearance ending (ex. hits/outs) will not be regarded as strikes for the purposes of settlement. If a pitcher or batter violation results in an automatic ball or strike to begin the at-bat, the market will be settled based off the outcome of the violation (e.g., if a pitcher violation results in an automatic ball to start the at-bat, ‘Ball’ will be settled as the winning selection).

If a minority government is formed with a coalition of multiple parties, the party that the leader of the coalition is from will be settled as the winner, unless otherwise stated.
- “Most Seats” markets will be settled on the party that wins the most seats in a chamber (e.g., the House of Commons) at an election. Dead heat rules may apply if more than one party wins the same number of seats and they are all considered to have won the equal most amount of seats at the election in question.

A majority government is considered as a party winning over half of the seats in a legislative chamber (half plus one or more). For example, if one party were to win 170 seats in the 338-person Canadian House of Commons, that would be considered a majority. Minority government is defined as a party having less than the number of required seats for a majority that also requires the support, coalition, or confidence of other parties to govern.
- Electorate or constituency betting is all in. All markets are for the next federal or provincial election, unless otherwise stated. Prior by-elections will not count unless stated.

- Any disputes concerning any entertainment market will be referred to producers for clarification; their decision will be treated as final.
- FanDuel reserves the right to suspend any market at any time.
- For the purposes of our markets, we will define an elimination/eviction as the permanent exclusion from the show of a contestant or contestants. Therefore, fake eliminations/evictions will not be considered as winners. Therefore any bets placed on a stipulated elimination/eviction (e.g. first/next) will run until a person is seen to egress the show with no immediate prospect of return.
- FanDuel reserves the right to apply a dead heat reduction on any event where more winners are declared than were originally specified.
- In the event of the series airing on television and subsequently being cancelled and removed from airing before an official winner is declared, bets will be settled as a dead heat between the contestants that have not been eliminated. Outright bets on contestants already eliminated will be treated as losing selections. In the event no winner is declared on a tv show that is meant to have a winner, bets will also be settled as a dead heat between the contestants that have not been eliminated. Outright bets on contestants already eliminated will be treated as losing selections.

- For example:
- You bet $100 at odds of +200 and 2 players tie for the same position.

- Dead heat rules apply for settlement of all Top X markets:
- For example:
- You bet $100 at odds of +150 for a player to finish in the Top 20, and 5 players finish in a tie for 19th.
- Two fifths of the bet has won (19th & 20th) and three fifths have lost (21st, 22nd and 23rd);
- Thus, three fifths of the stake is lost (-$60); and
- Two fifths of the stake win and is paid at the same odds, thus $40 wins at +150.
- Players must complete at least one stroke for bets to stand.
- Finishing position is decided by result posted by the governing body of that tournament (i.e., PGA Tour, DP World Tour).

- If a match starts but is abandoned before its completion, all bets will be void unless an official result is declared by the applicable governing body. Where an official result has been declared by the official governing body, that official result will govern match and point spread (handicap) market settlement but all other markets will be void unless their result has already been determined at the point of abandonment (i.e. at the point of abandonment, it would not have been possible for the outcome of the bet to change had the match continued to its natural conclusion). By way of example, if 37 points have been scored at the time a match is abandoned: (i) a bet placed on 35 points or more to be scored would be settled as a winning bet, (ii) a bet placed on 30-35 points to be scored would be settled as a losing bet and (iii) a bet placed on 40-45 points to be scored would be void. In such circumstances, bets on last tryscorer / team to score last / team to score last try / last scoring play would all be void.

If they do not take any part in the game, they will be void in all tryscorer markets.
- First/Last Tryscorer: In the event of a penalty try being the first / last try scored, we will pay out on the penalty try option if offered. If the penalty try option is not offered, we will pay out, for “First Try” markets, on the next tryscorer following the penalty try (where the first try is a penalty try) and, for “Last Try” markets, on the tryscorer immediately preceding the penalty try (where the last try is a penalty try). For `Xth try scorer’ markets, if the penalty try option is not offered, we will void any bets placed on the Xth try to be scored by a particular player if that try is in fact a penalty try. If there is no try scored after the penalty try then “First Try” and “Last Try” markets will be void.

For ‘Position to score xth Try’ markets, in the event of a penalty try, we will pay out on the position which scores the next try (e.g., if the first try scored in a match is a penalty try and the second try is scored by a ‘forward’, then a ‘forward’ will be deemed to have scored both the first and second tries). If there is no try scored after the penalty try then this market will be void.
- To win in Extra Time: If there is no winner following extra time, dead heat rules will apply to bets on this market.

In Point Spread (Handicap)/Line and Totals betting where the value selected is a whole number (e.g., 6.0), and the result lands on that number, then all wagers related to that line number will be refunded, and any such bet will be deemed an excluded leg for the purpose of any applicable parlay, which will be recalculated excluding that leg.

Any bets placed after a points deduction may have prices adjusted accordingly.

All outright markets which state “Regular Season” (or similar) are deemed to mean the official standings of teams after all matches of the predetermined season are played and before any playoff matches have commenced.
- NRL & Super League Wooden Spoon: This market is settled on the team which has the least wins for the season. A draw is considered as half a win.

Opta’s event definitions here: https://www.statsperform.com/opta-event-definitions/
-
Opta live stats can be found here: https://optaplayerstats.statsperform.com/en_GB/soccer
- The statistics provided by Official Opta Data will be used to determine the settlement of any bets which are placed on: (i) a given player to achieve a certain number of shots or shots on target (SOT), (ii) the total number of offsides awarded in a match or against a particular team, (iii) the total number of shots on target achieved by both sides, or either side, in a match, (iV) the total number of tackles made by either team in a match, or (v) the total number of free kicks, goal kicks or throw-ins in a match.
- All bets on soccer are automatically settled on the basis of 90 minutes play unless otherwise stated for that particular market. 90 minutes play includes time added on by referee for stoppages. The only exceptions are for matches that are played 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, if the match is played in the traditional format of two halves, all bets 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 FanDuel Sportsbook or not. If the game is played in an unusual format (e.g., 3 or 4 periods) then all half-time markets will be voided but all other markets will be settled on the basis of the score at the end of the match (including any time added on by the referee for stoppages).
-
“Normal Time” or “Regulation Time” refers to the full length of a game (usually 90 minutes, including time added on by the referee for stoppages) and excludes any extra time or penalty shootouts.
-
“Including Extra Time” markets include both Regulation time and any required extra time/overtime periods. This excludes Penalty shootouts.
- Where a bet is accepted on a match where no prices are on offer then that selection will be treated as a non-runner, but the remainder of any parlay bet will stand provided there are not fewer than the stipulated minimum number of matches in the bet.
- Settlement will be at the price prevailing at the time the bet was placed and confirmed. Dates and kick-off times of matches shown on our website are for guidance purposes only. Bets will be accepted up until the advertised kick-off time.
- If a parlay is reduced by non-runners the bet will stand with the reduced number of legs.
- FanDuel Sportsbook reserves the right to void or stand any bet inadvertently accepted after the betting has closed or where the event was resolved or at a stage where the customer could have any indication of the outcome.
- There is a small possibility that we will inadvertently offer soccer bets in respect of which it is impossible for the outcome to occur (for example, we continue to offer bets on a player to be the first goal scorer in a match after that player has been substituted). While we have implemented systems which aim to prevent this from occurring, in the small number of circumstances where it does, we will void the bets in question (and return the relevant stakes to customers accordingly).
- For head to head markets where there is a draw/tie option offered. If the market ends in a tie, bets on all other selections will be losers.
- Any bets involving players to be carded; only cards awarded when the player is active in the match will count. Bookings of managers, coaches or players off the field of play will not count, Only cards shown to players currently on the pitch will count.
- Any player who takes the field for any part of a match will have action for settlement purposes. Only players not in the squad or unused substitutes will be deemed non-runners, with the exception of markets that have been already unequivocally determined, e.g if a player enters the game after the first goalscorer market has been determined, they will be void in that market.
33.1.2 VAR
- To the extent that a video assistant referee (“VAR”) is consulted, the event which led to the referral will, for the purposes of these rules, be deemed to have occurred at the actual time of its occurrence (rather than the time on which the relevant referral, or decision, was made).
- Where we have settled a bet and, due to a subsequent VAR decision, it becomes apparent that such settlement was inaccurate, we reserve the right to reverse such settlement (provided that the VAR decision occurred prior to the conclusion of the match or other timeframe relating to the bet).
- Bets which are placed between the occurrence of an incident which leads to a VAR review and the related VAR decision will be deemed void unless: (i) the VAR review (and subsequent decision) did not ultimately alter the decision made by the on-field officials or (ii) the VAR review (and subsequent decision) altered the decision made by the on-field officials but did not have any material influence on the bet(s) in question. All bets which were not materially influenced by the VAR review (and subsequent decision) will stand.
- In order to eliminate any doubt, we will consider the VAR as having been used if this is understood from the referee's gestures (e.g., hand gestures or stopping the match to review the incident themselves) and/or VAR usage is confirmed by the match report issued by the official governing body who is ultimately responsible for oversight of the applicable match. In cases where it is unclear whether the VAR has been used due to missing TV coverage and/or conflicting reports, FanDuel Sportsbook will settle the bets based on the information acquired from feed providers and generally reputable online sources (acting reasonably).
33.1.3 Abandoned, Postponed, Venue Changed or Unplayed Matches
- Postponed Matches (All):
- If any match is postponed and rescheduled, we will take the following action:
- If the match is confirmed to take place within the current or following 3 days of the original local event kick-off date, all bets on the match will stand, unless confirmation of the rescheduled start time is not received within 3 hours of the original kick-off, single bets will be void and multiple bets will be settled on the remaining selections.
- Please note that games which have their kick-off altered prior to the kick-off time will not be classed as postponed.
- Should the rescheduled time be outside of the following three days, undetermined bets will be void regardless of the announcement coming within 3 hours or not.
- If the venue of a match is other than what is indicated on our website, the bet will stand provided the match has not been switched to the opponent's ground, in which case the match will be declared void. Notwithstanding this rule, in major international tournaments (e.g., World Cup, European Championships), all venues will be deemed neutral. If the scheduled venue of a match is changed, including if the venue changes to a new venue in a different country, all bets will stand.
- Abandoned Matches:
- If a match is abandoned after it has already kicked off, any bets where the outcome has already been decided will stand. All other selections will be made void.
- If it is announced within 3 hours of kick off that the game is due to restart within 3 days of the initial abandonment, all bets will stand. Undetermined bets will be void if no information is received within 3 hours of the initial kick off time.
- Games where a referee removes the players from the field of play for a temporary period but resumes the remaining minutes of play by midnight local event time will not be deemed as abandoned and all bets will stand.
33.1.4 Late Bets
- In relation to soccer markets that are scheduled to be turned in-play, FanDuel Sportsbook aims to use its reasonable endeavors to turn such markets in-play at kick-off and to suspend such markets on the occurrence of a Material Event (see definition of "Material Event" below). However, FanDuel Sportsbook does not guarantee that markets will be suspended and turned in-play at kick-off.
- If a market is scheduled to be turned in-play but FanDuel Sportsbook fails to suspend the market at kick-off and the market is not turned in-play at any time during the match, all bets placed after the scheduled time of the kick-off will be void UNLESS it can be established that the bet was actually placed before the actual time of kick-off.
- If a market is scheduled to be turned in-play but FanDuel Sportsbook fails to suspend the market at kick-off, but the market is turned in-play at a later time during the match, all bets placed after the scheduled time of the kick-off will stand. However, the price may be adjusted by FanDuel Sportsbook and the bets may be settled in accordance with the correct price at the time on which the relevant bet was placed (such price to be determined by FanDuel Sportsbook, acting reasonably).
- For the purpose of this rule, a "Material Event" shall mean a goal being scored, a penalty being awarded, a player being sent off, or a VAR decision.
33.2 Overview of Specific Markets
33.2.1 Goalscorer Markets
- First/Last Goalscorer
- Own goals do not count for settlement of first/last goalscorer bets. If any goal is an own goal, the result of the following goalscorer market will count for the settlement of the original one - e.g., second goal of the game is an own goal. The scorer of the third goal will be settled as the winner for both the second goalscorer and third goalscorer markets. If the last goal of the game is an own goal, then the second last goal of the game will be considered the winner for the Last Goalscorer market.
- Every effort is made to quote first/last player to score odds for all possible players. However, odds for other players are available on request and will count as winners if they score the first/last goal even if they are not named in our lists.
- Bets on last goalscorer will be void if that player does not take part in the game or does not come on as a substitute. In the event of a dispute over the award of a goal for first/last goalscorer or scorer special purposes, settlement will be in accordance with the result given by governing body of that league within 24 hours of the final whistle.

33.2.2 Spread Betting (3-way)
- For the purpose of deciding results on spread betting, the actual score of the match (Team A v Team B) is adjusted for the spread. If Team A or Team B are selected, then the spread adjustment applies to the goals scored by that team. If the draw is selected then the spread adjustment applies to Team A.
- For example, spread markets are shown as:
- Team A (-1)
- 7/2 Draw (-1) 3/1
- Team B (+1) 8/15
- If Team A win by 2 or more goals then all bets on Team A (-1) will be winners. Bets on the Draw (-1) and Team B (+1) will be losers. (e.g., Team A win 2-0 so becomes Team A 1-0 after the -1 adjustment so Team A are the spread winners.)
- If Team A win by exactly 1 goal, then all bets on Draw (-1) will be winners. Bets on Team A (-1) and Team B (+1) will be losers (e.g., Team A 1-0 becomes 0-0 after the -1 adjustment to the home team so it’s a spread draw.)
- If the match ends in a draw or Team B win by any number of goals, then all bets on Team B (+1) will be winners. Bets on Draw(-1) and Team A (-1) will be losers. (e.g., Team A 1-1 Team B becomes Team A 1-2 Team B after the +1 adjustment to Team B so Team B are the spread winners).

- Bets on 'number of corners' refers to corners taken and not corners awarded.
33.2.6 Card/Booking Markets
- Player to be Booked
- Only bookings in normal time (90 mins play) count unless otherwise stated.
- Any bookings made during half time will count; however, bookings made after the final whistle do not count.
- Bookings of players yet to participate in the game (i.e., substitutes) do not count.
- For first booking if more than one player being booked in the same incident the first player to be shown a card by the match referee shall be deemed the winner.
- Both yellow and red cards count for this market.
- Booking times will be settled on the match time when the yellow or red card is shown and not when the foul or offense took place. Bookings during half-time (before the 2nd half kicks off) will be counted as cards awarded in the 1st half for settlement purposes with regards to all relevant markets.
- For any bets placed on the total number of cards to be awarded (e.g., in total, to a team or to a single player / group of players), a player who has been shown two yellow cards (and is therefore ultimately shown a red card) or a player who is shown a yellow card followed by a straight red card will, for settlement purposes, be deemed in each case to have been shown two (rather than three) cards. For the avoidance of a doubt, the award of a straight red card will, for settlement purposes, be deemed to amount to the award of a single card.
33.2.7 Corner Markets
- Bets on number of corners refers to number of corners taken and not corners awarded.
- For "Odd or Even" corner markets, 0 is counted as an even number.
- Markets for "Race to X Corners" will be settled on whatever team reaches "X" corners first. E.g. Race to 3 Corners will be settled on the first team to take 3 corners in the match.
- For “Most Corners In Each Half”, a team must have more corners that the opposition in each of the two halves for the bet to be settled as a winner. In case of a tie or loss in either half, the bet will be settled as a loss.
33.2.8 Foul Markets
- For any bets involving a team or a player to achieve a number of fouls, the final determination on the number of shots on target will be made by FanDuel Sportsbook, using the definitions below.
- A foul is defined as any infringement that is penalized as foul play by the referee.
- For a foul to be awarded, play must be stopped, and a free kick must be given. If the referee plays advantage and later distributes a yellow card once the ball goes out of play this will not count towards a foul as a free kick was never awarded.
- Offsides do not count as fouls.
33.2.9 Player in Each Half Rules
- You are betting on a nominated player to achieve the stated stipulation in both the first half and second half.
- If the nominated player achieves the stated stipulation in the selection, then the selection will be settled as a winner (e.g. if the selection Is Harry Kane to have 1 or more assists in each half and he has an assist in the first half and an assist in the second half, this would be settled as a winner).
- If the nominated player plays no part in the first half of the match, or indeed any part of the match, then the selection is void (e.g. if the selection is Harry Kane to score 1 or more goals in both halves and Harry Kane is a substitute, but comes on during or after half time, or plays no part whatsoever, the selection would be void).
- If the nominated player plays any part of the first half, and fails to achieve the stated first half stipulation, then the selection is a loser regardless of the duration of their participation in either the first or second half (e.g. if the selection is Harry Kane to have 1 or more shots on target in each half, and he starts the match/comes on during the first half and fails to register a shot on target during the first half, this selection will be a loser regardless of his participation in the second half).
- If the nominated player plays any part of the first half, and does achieve the stated stipulation but is subsequently withdrawn before or during half time and plays no part in the second half, then this selection will be void (e.g. if the selection is Harry Kane to score 1 or more goals in each half & assist 1 or more goals in each half, and he scores AND assists in the first half but is withdrawn before or during half time i.e. plays no part in the second half, then the selection is void. In this instance however, if he scored but didn’t assist in the first half, the selection would be a loser, as it marries up with the point above).
33.2.10 Extra Time Markets
- Extra time markets refer only to the 30-minute period of extra time plus any time added by the referee for stoppages. For settlement purposes, this is essentially treated as a new game, and stats (goals, corners, etc.) start at zero here. Goals scored in Penalty shootout do not count for settlement purposes.
- Extra Time Correct Score: Market applies to the result during the extra time period only. For the purposes of this market, the score shall be deemed 0-0 at the start of the extra time period.
33.2.11 Match Penalty Markets

If a team is otherwise disqualified, thrown out or removed from a league (i.e. in circumstances other than those where it has finished the season within the relevant relegation positions): (i) if such team is disqualified, thrown out or removed from the league before the relevant season has started, all bets on the affected market will be void (and a new market will subsequently be loaded) and (ii) if such team is disqualified, thrown out or removed from the league after the relevant season has started (or a determination is made by the applicable governing body, during the season, that the team will be thrown out or removed from the league following the season’s conclusion), all bets on the affected team will be void. For the avoidance of doubt, if a points deduction is imposed on a team such that it finishes the season within the relegation places which are relevant to the applicable league, bets on that team to be relegated will be settled as winning bets.
33.2.16 Transfer Markets & Specials
- The following rules are for markets involving players to transfer or not to transfer by set dates:
- Loan deals do not count as transfers for settlement purposes.
- If a player does not move club within a specified time window, bets placed on that player to move club will stand and will be settled as losers. In such circumstances, any bets placed on the player to stay at his or her club will be settled as winners.
- If the player signs for a club that isn’t quoted in the market, all bets placed on that player to move to a specified club will have action and will be settled as losers. Extra clubs can be added to markets at customer request.
- Should an agreement be reached for a player to transfer to a new club on a future date, the player will, for settlement purposes, be deemed to have transferred on the date at which the agreement is completed (rather than the date on which the player transfers to his/her new club). For example, if, on 1 January, Player X signs an agreement to transfer from Club A to Club B with effect from 1 June, Player X will, for settlement purposes, be deemed to have transferred to Club B on 1 January.
- In cases where it is unclear whether a deal has been completed before a deadline, we reserve the right to delay settlement until official confirmation has been received from governing bodies.
- The player must be registered to the club in question before the specified time frame ends. Pre-contracts or other similar agreements that signal business to be completed at a date later than specified will not count.
- When a player moves to a club, and is then immediately loaned out to another club, we will settle on the club that has signed the player permanently and not the loanee club.
- The following rules are for markets involving next manager markets (club or country):
- FanDuel Sportsbook will select a list of potential new managers at its discretion. Other selections will be available on customer request. Should a manager not listed be appointed, all bets will have action.
- Caretaker and interim managers will not count unless they complete at least 10 competitive games, and they will then be deemed the permanent manager.
- Should a club appoint a director of football this will not count in the settlement of permanent manager markets.

We take reasonable steps to ensure we do not collect personal information from anyone under the age of 19. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child under the age of 19 has provided us with information, the parent may contact us at the details set out below in the “Changes and Updates” section to have such personal information deleted.

This Usage Information may be stored or accessed using a variety of technologies that may be downloaded to your personal computer, browser, laptop, tablet, mobile phone or other device (a “Device”) whenever you visit or interact with our Service. When your Device contacts our web servers (for example, when you visit this Service or view an HTML e-mail), our web servers automatically collect Usage Information. We also may determine the applicable technology available in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page, e-mail, advertising or promotional announcement or similar service. To the extent we associate Usage Information with your Personal Information we collect directly from you on the Service, we will treat it as Personal Information.
- This Usage Information may include:
- your IP address, UDID or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”). A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device used to access the Service, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier;
- your Device functionality (including browser type, operating system, hardware, mobile network information);
- the areas within our Service that you visit and your activities there, including remembering you and your preferences;

FanDuel uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser help file directions. Session cookies are temporary and typically disappear after you close your browser. You may be able to reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Site or Service may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled. If you do not wish to receive a cookie, you may set your browser not to accept cookies. Please note, however, that if you decide not to accept cookies from our website, this may impact the functioning of certain features of our Site and your ability to perform certain transactions or access certain content.

In addition, we may also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by specific users. We may use Web Beacons to count visitors to our web pages or to monitor how our users navigate our Service, and we may include Web Beacons in e-mail messages in order to count how many of the messages we sent were actually opened or acted upon. We use Web Beacons to compile aggregate statistics about our Service and our marketing campaigns.

- Browser Fingerprinting: Collection and analysis of information from your Device, such as, without limitation, your operating system, plug-ins, system fonts and other data, for purposes of identification.
- ETag, or entity tag: A feature of the cache in browsers. It is an opaque identifier assigned by a web server to a specific version of a resource found at a URL. If the resource content at that URL ever changes, a new and different ETag is assigned. Used in this manner ETags are a form of Device Identifier. ETag tracking may generate unique tracking values even where the consumer blocks HTTP, Flash, and/or HTML5 cookies.
- Recognition Technologies: Technologies, including application of statistical probability to data sets, which attempt to recognize or make assumptions about users and devices (e.g., that a user of multiple devices is the same user).
- FanDuel may also collect information about you from third parties, such as marketing partners, identity verification services, anti-fraud services and other service providers.
- If you had an account with Pokerstars in Ontario, FanDuel collected your full name, email address, postal code, VIP status and tier from Pokerstars for the purpose of identifying you as a former Pokerstars player and to track player transitions to FanDuel.

5. Your Choices
- FanDuel will process your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and as part of that FanDuel provides you with certain choices about how we process your personal information. These choices are set out below.
- FanDuel will use reasonable efforts to ensure your information is accurate and up to date. Please update your information through your account whenever your information is incomplete, out-of-date or otherwise changes. You can access and update certain personal information FanDuel holds about you at any time by logging into your account via the Service. You can update your marketing preferences and whether or not you would like us to send you newsletters in your account. You can also unsubscribe to marketing emails and newsletters by using the 'unsubscribe' feature in the communication.
- We may occasionally send display media to you, in a targeted way, whether through web or mobile browsers or mobile applications. You may opt out of many third parties that support and send this type of targeting advertising by going to www.aboutads.info, and you may learn more about this type of advertising in the below Section titled “Third Party Advertising and Analytics.” You may opt out of tracking for mobile advertising through the settings on most smartphones, and you may learn more about these settings through those mobile device platforms, i.e., Google (here) and Apple (here) . (Please note that these companies may change either the way these settings operate, the content or the availability of these pages.)
- We may occasionally send you push notifications to your mobile device. You can turn off certain push notifications in the account settings of your FanDuel mobile app. You can also turn off push notifications specific to our Service in the settings on your iOS device, or through the application manager in your Android device.
- Subject to some important legal limitations you can make additional requests through our webform (set out below), such as to request access to, correction or deletion of certain personal information we store; to receive a copy of certain personal information you provided to us in portable form or to request that we share it with a third party; to request restrictions on the use of your personal information; to object to our use of your personal information; or to withdraw consent to use your personal information (which will not affect the legality of any processing that happened before the request takes effect). You may submit these requests by using our webform.
- For example, you can contact us to opt out of all processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes (in addition to the unsubscribe option described here).
- You can reach us as described below with any other concerns, or complaints regarding our data collection, data use or data transfer. You also have a right to file a privacy complaint with the relevant privacy regulator, but we respectfully invite you to allow us to try to resolve the matter directly. We will attempt to answer your questions and satisfy your concerns in a timely and complete manner.
6. Advertising And Analytics
- We work with a number of companies that assist in marketing our services to you on third party websites. These companies may collect information about online activities conducted on a particular computer, browser or device over time and across third-party websites or online services for the purpose of delivering advertising that is likely to be of greater interest to you, including about our Services, on sites and apps of third parties. Also, certain ads appearing on our Service are delivered by our advertising partners. Our advertising partners may use cookies and other similar technologies, often in conjunction with unique (anonymous) cookie identifiers, to collect data about your activities and interests, including the technologies described above. Some of these partners may use mobile device identifiers, such as Apple IDFAs and Google/Android Advertising IDs. Doing this allows the ad companies to recognize your computer or device each time they send you an online or mobile advertisement. In this way, the ad companies may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer or device, saw their advertisements and measure your interaction with each ad. This information allows ad companies to deliver targeted advertisements that may be of increased interest to you, both on our Service and elsewhere online. Just as these technologies may be used to target ads on our websites and apps, we, or our advertising partners, may use these same technologies and data points (e.g., mobile identifiers, cookie identifiers, location-based data), through our Service or through other services, to target advertising (for ourselves or other companies) on other sites or mobile apps. Sometimes, these identifiers may be derived from a hashed or encrypted version of personal information such as your email address. We may use this information to measure the performance of our advertising as well, for instance, to evaluate which ads or content our users prefer, or which are most effective. In addition, sometimes we or an advertising partner may tailor advertising to you across different devices.
- To learn more and to opt out of the collection of data on our website by third parties (including those described above) for interest-based advertising purposes, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices or www.youronlinechoices.com. Note that because this opt out method may be cookie-based, you will need to opt out again if you update or change your browser, or delete your cookies. You can also control interest-based advertising on apps on your mobile device with the AppChoices app, available for iOS and Android. Note that opting out will not affect the quantity of ads you see online but likely will cause the ads to be less relevant to you.
- We also work with third-party analytics companies to collect data on our Service through cookies and other automated means. In some cases, the third parties mentioned in this section may maintain the information they collect in personally identifiable form. These services allow us to view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with the Services so we can improve our website and understand how people find and navigate it.
7. Information Security
- We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
- Whilst neither we, nor any other organization, can guarantee the security of information processed online, we do have appropriate security measures in place to protect your personal information. For example, we store the personal information you provide on secure computer systems with limited access that are located in facilities to which access is limited. Additionally, we maintain a Security Incident Response Plan. We will provide you notice in the event of an incident that materially impacts your personal information (a “Data Incident”). We will notify you, iGaming Ontario, and any other applicable regulatory authority about the Data Incident, and we will aid iGaming Ontario and any applicable authorities in the management and handling of the Data Incident.
- To further protect your privacy and security, we reserve the right to take reasonable steps (such as requesting your password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections.
- Additionally, you should ensure your password is kept secret at all times. You will be responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and account information. For general information on how to protect your information online, please refer to the resources posted by the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario at [https://www.ipc.on.ca/privacy-individuals/ensuring-your-privacy-is-protected/].
