Live Betting Rules

Rules Common to All Sports

1. The Live Scoreboard should NOT be relied upon when making wagering decisions. We strive to ensure our Scoreboard is reflective of live game action; however, on occasion, discrepancies can occur between scoreboard details and the lines offered. As such, lines will be settled according to what occurs in the game, using the data contained in the official play by play for the given sport.

2. If any market remains open when the following events have already taken place: goals, red cards and penalties, we reserve the right to cancel wagers.

3. If any market remains open with an incorrect score, match time/status or an incorrect/missing red card, we reserve the right to cancel wagers.

4. The user is not allowed to place a bet that exceeds their current available Bovada account balance (total balance less all pending bets).

5. The user is liable for all bets submitted accidentally or erroneously.

6. All lines determined to have been available past post will be graded 'No Action'.

7. In the event of an obvious line error on the posted proposition, all bets on the affected line ID will be graded 'No Action' at the discretion of Bovada.

8. In the event of a timeout, all bets stand.

9. Where we have reason to believe or suspect that a live bet has been placed after the outcome of a live event is known or if delayed "live" television coverage results in a live bet being placed at the incorrect price after the selected participant has gained an advantage or disadvantage, we shall be entitled to treat the bet as 'No Action'.
