Settlement of Wagers
Statistics provided by the official score(s) provider or the official website of the relevant competition will be used to settle wagers. Where statistics from an official score(s) provider or official website are not available or there is significant evidence that the official score(s) provider or official website is incorrect, we will use independent evidence to support bet settlement.
In the absence of consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled after a thorough investigation.
SX Bet does not recognize postponed games, protests or overturned decisions for wagering purposes. As long as the event is played on the schedule day, all bets have action. If inclement weather (or similar delay) pushes the start time past midnight local time, but the game is still played, all bets have action.
All bets are ACTION. This means, regardless of a pitching change, your bet is valid. Pitchers posted are for informational purposes only.
“Moneyline” bets will be official after 5 innings (4.5 innings if the home team is winning).
Total and RunLine bets are official after they have completed at least 9 innings (8.5 innings if the home team is winning.)
If a game goes more than 5 full innings but is suspended to a later date (not finalized), moneyline bets will be graded based on the score of the game up to the last completed inning. If a game is suspended before 5 innings are played for more than 12 hours from the start time, it will be refunded.
If a game is canceled before 9 innings have been played, Total and RunLine bets will be refunded. If a match lasts 9 innings or more and is NOT completed, Total and RunLine bets still have action and are placed after the last complete inning.
If a baseball game says that it is 7 innings, it is for informational purposes only. If the game goes to extra innings, the innings past 7 will still count for all bets.
Treatment for date or venue change
If an event venue is changed all wagers on the event will have no action.
Treatment for Double-Header Games
For 7 innings games played as part of a doubleheader the 6½ inning rule will apply.
Treatment if event does not come to its natural conclusion
In the case of a suspended playoff game that will be resumed in a span of 96 hours after its suspension, all wagers have action and will be graded after the completion of the game. If the game is not completed within the 96 hours following the time of suspension, then all bets have no action.
For wagers on Pregame or Live Baseball on a specific inning or a group of innings those wagers have action if the specific timeframe is completed, regardless if the entire game has concluded.
PlayOffs / World Series Pick 4:
Each combination lists the exact order of finish of the final four Major League teams in the playoffs, specified by the order of names as follows:
The winner of the World Series.
The loser of the World Series.
The loser of the American League Championship Series.
The loser of the National League Championship Series.
Example: Suppose we have the following result in the playoffs:
The Dodgers beat the Braves in the National League Championship Series.
The Twins beat the Angels in the American League Championship Series.
The Dodgers then win the World Series against the Twins.
In that case, the winning combination would be: Dodgers/Twins/Angels/Braves.
Japanese Baseball:
When wagering on total runs (over/under) the game must go 9 innings (8.5 if the home team is ahead) to have action. If a game is called, suspended or declared a tie in extra innings, the score will be determined after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the score is determined at the time the game is called.
Rules for Run Line (handicap) and Alternate Run Line (alternate handicap) wagers are the same as those for Japanese baseball totals.
World Baseball Classic Rules:
All spread, money line, and total wagers will have action in games stopped early due to the mercy rule.
All bets taken on a suspended game (one that started), will have action for 72 hours from the start time, as long as the WBC governing body recognizes an eventual winner. Money line wagers will only have action as long as the game goes at least 4.5 innings. Spread and total wagers will only have action if the game goes at least 8.5 innings (except in mercy rule games, see rule above).
All bets taken on a postponed game will not have action. Once the postponed game is rescheduled, normal wagering rules apply.
Pool Wagering - In the event of a tie between 2 or 3 teams within a pool, whoever wins the tiebreaker according the world baseball classic (whichever team is considered the number 1 team from that pool in the next round) is considered the winner.
