Betting and Payout Limitations The minimum bet amount is one dollar ($1.00). DraftKings reserves the right to limit the maximum bet amount such that the net payout (the payout after the wager amount has been deducted) on any bet or combination of bets by one Patron does not exceed {$500,000}.
“Point Spread” or “Handicap” markets are when it is possible to bet on whether the chosen outcome will win by more than a specific number of points, or lose by less than a specific number of points. The bet will be declared void if the outcome is tied once the spread has been applied. Example: a bet on -3.0 points will be declared void if the team chosen wins the game by exactly 3 points difference (27-24,30-27, 23-20, etc.) any reference in this section to the term “margin” is intended to be understood as the outcome emerging from the subtraction of the points scored by the 2 opponents.
Unless otherwise stated all handicaps and spreads listed on DraftKings site are to be calculated based on the result from the start of the listed period to the end of the specified period. It is however customary that for certain handicap bet offers in specific sports (Asian Handicap in Soccer), only the outcomes obtained from the time of bet placement until the end of the listed timeframe will be taken into consideration, thus disregarding any points scored before the time the bet was placed and accepted. Any bet offer with these characteristics will be clearly displayed on site and highlighted in the user’s bet history with the score at the time of bet placement.
2-way Point Spread / Handicap Example: Team A (-7.5) vs Team B (+7.5)
Team A is given a -7.5 point handicap in the game. For the bet to be won, Team A must win the game with a margin equal or greater than the listed handicap (i.e. 8 points or more).
Team B is given a +7.5 point advantage in the game. For the bet to be won, Team B must either win the game, tie the game, or not lose with a margin equal or greater than their listed advantage (i.e. lose with a 7 point or less margin).
The “Point Spread” or “Handicap” can also be referred to as the “Puck Line” in Hockey or “Run Line” in Baseball.
3-Way Spread / Handicap
In a 3-Way Handicap, the line is set so that there can also be a tie outcome, giving you 3 potential bets.
Handicap (-1) – You win if your team wins the match with a goal difference of two or more.
Tie: You win if the team with (-1) Handicap wins the match with exactly one goal difference.
Handicap (+1) – You win if your team draws or win the match.
Money Line
The “Money Line” is a 2-way market based on the outcome of the game listed. The Money Line is inclusive of Overtime and is simply the selection of who will win the game or event.
Total Points/Goals/Runs
The “Total Points”, also known as Goals or Runs, is a 2 way market based on the total number of points scored in a game or event by the competitors. The “Total” is set at a specific line with outcomes listed as either Over or Under the listed amount. As with Point Spread/Handicap betting, in those circumstances where the result of the game or event Total point scored is exactly equal to the betting line, then all bets on this offer will be declared void. “Totals” can also be set on any number of predefined occurrences (e.g. goals, points, corners, rebounds, etc.).
Example: an offer where the betting line is 128.0 points and the game ends with the result 64-64 will be declared void.
Match Betting
“Match Betting”, also referred to as Win-Draw-Win, Match Result (Regular Time) or 60 Minute Line in Hockey, is where it is possible to bet on the outcome of a match or event. The options are: Home Team, Tie/Draw or Away Team. Bets on this are settled at the final whistle or conclusion of ‘Regulation Time’.
Outrights / Futures
“Outrights”, “Futures” or “Place” betting is when you choose from a list of alternatives and bet on where a participant wins or places within a specified position in the classification of the listed event/competition. Should two or more participants share finishing positions, the settlement will follow the ‘Dead Heat Reduction Rules’.
Virtual Match Ups
Virtual Matches or Head to Heads are implicit matchups where the performances of two or more opponents which are not directly confronting each other in the same event are compared. Settlements will be based on the number of times each participant records a predefined occurrence (e.g. goals) in the respective match. The following criteria will be used to determine the settlement of these type of offerings:
Unless specifically stated the bets refer to the next official event (as applicable) that the listed participants/teams are scheduled to take part in. All relative events must be completed on the same day/session which the event is scheduled to be completed for bets to stand. In the case that outcomes of which has been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the decided outcome. Results for these offers will only take into account occurrences deriving from the actual play. Results attributable to walk-overs as well as other decisions as specified in clauses 2, 3 and 4 of Result Settlement will not be taken into consideration. Should the aforementioned criteria be inconclusive in determining the outcome for these offers, the following criteria will be progressively referenced to in order to settle the offering: the applicable Sport-specific rules Result Settlement rules Bets will be settled as void should it still be impossible to determine a winning outcome
Grand Salami
“Grand Salami” is where it is possible to bet on the total number of listed occurrences (Example: Total Goals, Total Runs) happening during a collection of events. All relevant events must be completed for bets to stand unless settlement has already been determined.
Player Props – Over/Under
Over/Under bets on classification of participants in performances/events must be interpreted as follows: “Over” means a worse or lower position while “Under” means a better or higher position. Example: A bet on a player’s classification in a tournament with an Over/Under line 2.5 will be settled as Under if the player classifies first or second. All other placements will be settled as Over.
Player Props – Head to Head
Head to Head markets on classification of participants in performances/events will list the specified stat category in the betting market. Settlement of such bets will match official scoring statistics of the sport, league, or governing body from which the event takes place.
Correct Score
Correct Score, or Result Betting, is where it is possible to bet on the partial or definite score of a game or event.
Winning Margin
“Winning Margin” (aka Result Betting) is where it is possible to bet on the final result of a game or event and select the correct ‘band’ of points between the winning team and losing team. For example, if you think the Patriots will win, but the game will be close, pick the New England Patriots 1-6 Points Winning Margin (where the Patriots winning by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 points results in a winning pick).
Odd/Even
“Odd/Even” is where it is possible to bet on the partial or definite amount of a predefined occurrence “Odd” is 1,3,5 etc.; “Even” is 0,2,4 etc. Example: goals, points, corners, rebounds, etc.
Head-to-Head or 3-Way
A “Head to Head” or “3-Way ” is a competition between two or three participants/outcomes, originating from either an officially organized event, or else, as virtually defined by DraftKings.
Half Time/Full Time
“Half time/Full time” is where it is possible to bet on the result at half time and full time. For example, if at half time the score is 45-45 and the game ends 103-101, the winning outcome is Tie / Away Team (the team scoring 103). The bet is void if the Regular Time of the game is played in a different format than what was stipulated at the time the bet is accepted. Settlement rules for if overtime/extra time is included or excluded from full time is set forth in the Sport Rules for the applicable sport.
Draw/Tie No Bet
“Draw No Bet” or “Tie No Bet” is where it is possible to bet on either the home team or the away team. It is also common practice to refer to “Tie No Bet” in cases where no tie odds are offered. Should the specific game contain no winner (e.g. game ends as a tie), or the particular occurrence not happen (e.g. First Goal, Tie No Bet and game ends 0-0) the stakes will be refunded.
Double Chance
“Double Chance” is where it is possible to bet simultaneously on two (partial or definite) outcomes of a game or event, where 3 outcomes are possible (i.e., a 90 minute soccer game). The options are: Home/Draw, Home/Away and Draw/Away. Double Chance bets are settled at the end of Regular Time.
Quarter / Half / Period Bets
Bets on “Quarter / Half / Period X” refer to the result achieved in the relevant timeframe. This does not include any other points tallied from other parts of the event. Bets will be voided if the game is played in any other format than what was stipulated at the time the bet is accepted.
End of Quarter / Half / Period Result
Bets on “Result at end of Quarter / Half / Period X” refer to the result of the game/event after termination of the stipulated timeframe and will take into account all other points/goals/events tallied from previous parts of the event/game.
Race to ‘X’ Bets
Bets on “Race to X Points / Race to X Goals…” and similar markets refer to the team/participant reaching the earliest particular tally of points. If the market lists a timeframe (or any other period restriction) it will not include any other points tallied from other parts of the event which are not related to the mentioned time frame. If a Tie outcome is offered, this outcome wins if neither team reaches the listed score. If a Tie market is not offered and the listed score is not be reached within the stipulated time frame, all bets will be declared void, unless otherwise stated.
Bets on “Winner of Point”, “Scorer of Goal” and similar offers refer to the participant winning the listed occurrence. For the settlement of these offers, no reference to events happening prior to the listed occurrence will be taken into consideration. Should the listed event not be won within the stipulated time frame, all bets will be declared void, unless otherwise stated.
Bets referring to the happening of a particular occurrence in a pre-defined time order, such as “First to Score”, or “First Team to Hit a Home Run ” will be settled as void if it is not be possible to decide the winning outcome. For example, in case of both teams not recording a home run for the entirety of a game.
“Team to score first and win” refers to the listed team scoring the first goal in the game and going on to win the game. Should there be no goals in the game all bets will be settled as void.
To Win from Behind
“Team to win from behind” refers to the listed team winning the game after having been at least 1 goal or point down at any point in the game.
Winning Goal
Settlement of bets which make reference to terms such as “decisive goal” will be settled based on the scorer of the goal that at the end of the game/tie (as applicable), proves to be the one that has produced an unassailable lead, following which any further goals would prove to be irrelevant towards the final outcome. For a bet to be settled as “YES”, the listed player’s team must be declared the winner of that particular game or progressing to the next round or winning the competition. Goals scored in Regular Time and Extra Time count but Penalty Shoot outs do not.
Odds Boosts
From time to time, DraftKings might decide to publish markets referring either to the single performance of a participant or team; or markets which combine the potential outcomes of 2 or more participants at higher odds than those normally available, also known as Odds Boosts. DraftKings reserves the right to withdraw such offers, edit the respective odds, and effect any further changes that might deem necessary at its sole discretion.
Settlement of these offers will be based on the following criteria:
Unless specifically stated, the bets refer to the next official event that the listed participants are scheduled to take part in. All relative events must be completed within the same day/session as listed in conjunction with the Odds Boost. Should this not be the case, bets placed on the market will be fully refunded except for those markets whose outcomes were decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the decided outcome. Results for these offers will only take into account occurrences deriving from the actual play. All connotations related to the bet must be fully and unquestionably complied with for the bet to be deemed as winning, regardless of any possible conflict with the sport-specific rules, or with any potential interpretation based on previous or current presentation of offers related to events in that particular sport and the way these are normally presented in DraftKings Sportsbook. Bets will be settled as void should it still be impossible to determine a winning outcome. While all necessary precaution has been taken by DraftKings to ensure a superior user experience, it is to be understood that markets might fluctuate in such a way that at any given point in time these do not present an enhanced value comparable to related bet offers currently present on site.
Mythical 2/3 Ball
‘Mythical 2/3 Balls’ are a type of Golf bet which allows you to bet between 2 or 3 golfers who are not in direct competition.
Teasers
A teaser bet allows you to adjust the points spread and game totals on two or more football or basketball teams by choosing a fixed number of points. The number of teams and points selected determines your payout odds.
All selections must be successful for the teaser bet to win. If a selection in a two team teaser is a push, the bet will be considered “no action” and the wager will be refunded. A push in teasers of more than two teams will result in the bet dropping to the next level down, if available, or losing if not.
Teaser bets will only be allowed on pre-game events and only for selected leagues, including:
Regular teasers for NBA, college basketball, NFL, college football or any other league in which teaser bets are allowed (4, 4.5 and 5 for Basketball and 6, 6.5 and 7 for Football) Basketball Super Teasers: 3 team teaser – buying 8 points, ties lose, odds -120/1.83 Basketball Monster Teasers: 4 team teaser – buying 10 points, ties lose, odds -120/1.83 Football Super Teasers: 3 team teaser – buying 10 points, ties lose, odds -120/1.83 Football Monster Teasers: 4 team teaser – buying 13 points, ties lose, odds -140/1.71
Buying points allows you to change the point-spread or game total of a football or basketball game. You can move the point-spread so you get more points when betting the underdog, and fewer points when betting on the favorite. You can move the total so you get a higher total when betting the under or a lower total if betting the over.
Round Robins
Round Robins are similar to parlays in that you choose several selections within one bet, but all possible combinations of bets from those selections are covered, with the advantage of winning even if not all picks are winners.
Rest of the game
Bets referring to “Rest of the game” or similar will consider only outcomes and occurrences obtained from the time of bet placement until the end of the listed timeframe, thus disregarding any occurrences registered before the time the bet was placed and accepted.
Bets on specific timeframes/intervals
Bets on specific timeframes/intervals (example: Game result between 60:00-89:59), will consider only outcomes and occurrences accumulated during the specified timeframe/interval. Settlement will not take into account any other points/goals/events tallied from other parts of the event/game outside the specified timeframe/interval, including stoppage/injury time, unless specified.
Each-Way or Win/Place Betting
An Each-Way (E/W)or Win/Place (W/P) bet is a bet consisting of two separate parts – a win part and a place part. The win part of the bet is on your selection to win the event, and the place part is on your selection to finish either first or within the event’s specified place terms (e.g. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.).
When you place an Each-Way bet (by performing the specified action in the bet slip), your wager amount is doubled, with half allocated to the outright win, and the other half allocated to your selection finishing within the place terms. Each event has specified place terms depending on the number of participants, e.g. ¼ 1-2-3. In this example, an Each-Way bet placed on a selection that finishes 1st will pay in two ways: you will win the outright portion of the bet, but you will also win the place portion at ¼ the outright odds as it finished in the top 3.
Squares – Any Quarter
Pick the correct “square score” for the end of a single specified period or any specified periods. Wagers will be settled on the basis of the last number of each teams score at the end of the specified period(s) (4th quarter includes ot). For example, for “any quarter” squares, the score in the match is 3-7 (end of q1), 3-21 (end of q2), 21-21 (end of q3), 27-24 (end of game) then the winning selections will be 3:7, 3:1, 1:1 and 7:4. Winning selections will only be paid once and will be settled at the conclusion of the first winning period.
Parlay
A “parlay” or “parlay bet” is a bet where the customer chooses two (2) or more selections and requires every selection to be correct in order for the parlay bet to win. if, as part of a parlay bet, an individual selection is void, then the individual selection will be excluded from the parlay bet, and the odds of the parlay bet will be recalculated to reflect the remaining selections in the parlay bet.
Same Game Parlay
How does cash out bet work?
A Cash Out, otherwise known as a Buy Out, is a feature that allows sports bettors the ability to settle a bet — and accept a payout less than the...
“Same Game Parlay” is a single bet combining multiple selections from the same event and is dependent on all of those selections winning, with the exception of some voided selections. further details for the settlement rules for same game parlays are set forth in the sports rules for the relevant sport.
Bets on Market With “Field” as an Option:
A bet on the “Field” means a bet on all other singular selections which are not listed for that market. No other selections will be added to this type of market. For example, if betting on the market, “Series Leader: Total Rebounds” with six (6) players listed, along with a “Field” option, and an unlisted player records the most rebounds in that series, the “Field” selection would be graded as the winner.
Bets on Market Without All Possible Selections Listed and No “Field” Option:
If the market (or rule) states “Only Listed Selections” or something similar, then only listed selections for that market will be taken into account for grading purposes, and no other selections will be added to the market. For example, if betting on the market, “First Field Goal” in an NBA game, the market states “Only Listed Selections”, and the player who scores the first field goal of the game was not listed as a selection in the market, the first listed player in the market who scores a field goal would be graded as the winner.
If the market (or rule) does not state “Only Listed Selections,” or something similar, and the market does not have a “Field” option as a selection, then other selections may be added to the market in the future. For example, if the Rookie of the Year market in the MLB does not state “Only Listed Selections” or something similar and the market does not have a “Field” option as a selection, players may be added to the market throughout the course of the season. All bets placed will be graded as action in this scenario (as long as any other criteria for the bet to be action are met).

DraftKings reserves the right to make changes to the Sportsbook betting limits, payout limits and market offerings. DraftKings may update, amend, edit, and supplement these Rules at any time. Any reference in these Rules to words/objects that appear in singular also applies to plural. References to gender are non-binding and to be treated for information purposes only.
2. Definitions
“ Error” is a mistake, misprint, misinterpretation, mishearing, misreading, mistranslation, spelling mistake, technical hazard, registration error, transaction error, manifest error, force majeure and/or similar. Examples of errors include, but are not limited to: bets accepted during technical problems that would otherwise not have been accepted; bets placed on events/offers that have already been decided; bets on odds containing incorrect participants; bets placed at odds that are materially different from those available in the general market at the time the bet was placed; bets offered at odds which reflect an incorrect score situation; or else, odds being clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring at the time the bet was placed. “ Influence Betting” is an act, prohibited by DraftKings, where a Patron, or parties acting in association with a Patron, can influence the outcome of a game or an event – directly or indirectly. “Syndicate Betting” is an act, prohibited by DraftKings, where Patrons act together to place a series of bets on the same event or competition. Where there is evidence of Patrons acting together in this manner DraftKings reserves the right to make the relevant bets void and/or withhold payment of returns pending the outcome of subsequent investigations.
3. Ticket Accuracy
Check your ticket for accuracy, as all tickets go as written after you leave the wagering counter. Once a wager is accepted, tickets will not be altered or voided except at the discretion of DraftKings. No winning wager will be paid without the Patron copy of the wagering ticket, except for lost, stolen or unreadable tickets, which will be honored as stated below. DraftKings is not responsible for misprinted, miswritten, lost, stolen, mutilated and/or damaged, forged or altered tickets. For all honored lost or stolen tickets, once the rightful owner of a winning ticket has been determined, payment will be made as soon as possible. For all lost, stolen or unreadable tickets where the rightful owner cannot be immediately determined, the waiting period for honored claims will be 365 calendar days from the date of the event, after which they are void. All determinations concerning the owner of lost or stolen tickets shall lie in the absolute discretion of DraftKings and shall be final. Winning tickets expire after 365 calendar days from the date of the event. The time on the tickets is Eastern Prevailing Time. Pre-match wagers are accepted up to the start of the game. In the event a pre-match wager is inadvertently accepted after the start of the event, the wager will be treated as “No Action”; this excludes live in-game wagering. In the event DraftKings has reason to believe that a bet is placed after the outcome of an event is known, DraftKings reserves the right to void the bet, win or lose. Except as provided in these Rules or as otherwise specified, all events must be held within 36 hours of the scheduled date to be considered “action”.
4. Betting and Payout Limitations
The minimum bet amount is one dollar ($1.00). DraftKings reserves the right to limit the maximum bet amount such that the net payout (the payout after the wager amount has been deducted) on any bet or combination of bets by one Patron does not exceed {$500,000}. This limit may be lowered by DraftKings in DraftKings’ sole discretion. For further information it is recommended to consult the Sport Specific Limits. All bet selections are subject to pre-imposed limits set solely at DraftKings’ discretion which may be lower than the limits mentioned in the Sport Specific Limits and/or mentioned elsewhere. Should this limit be reached, the Patron has the right to ask for it to be exceeded by means of a request effected through DraftKings. DraftKings reserves the right to accept (fully or partially) or reject the said request without any prior notice and further explanation. DraftKings reserves the right to decline or void, in its sole discretion, all, or part of, any bet requested. This includes the possibility that a “System bet” is not accepted in full, either in terms of wagers or combinations included in said “System bet”. DraftKings reserves the right to restrict or deny access, in whole or in part, to your user account, at DraftKings’ own discretion. All bets placed through any DraftKings platform, including but not limited to bets requesting manual approval, may be subject to a time delay prior to acceptance, the length of which may vary. Such delay is to be determined by DraftKings in its sole discretion. DraftKings reserves the right to withhold payment and/or to declare bets void on an event (or series of events), if DraftKings determines, in its sole discretion, that any of the following has occurred:
the integrity of the event has been called into question; the price(s) or pool has been manipulated; Game-rigging has taken place, or the game is under investigation for such; or Any other occurrence that, in the reasonable discretion of DraftKings, would tend to show that the event (or series of events) was unduly influenced by factors outside of the event (or series of events) itself.
Evidence of the above may be based on the size, volume or pattern of bets placed with DraftKings across any or all of its betting channels, as well as information received from other betting providers or officially recognized organizations.
All odds offered are subject to variation. Such fluctuation is determined by DraftKings in its sole discretion. Bets are accepted only at the odds available in the betting grid at the time the bet offer is accepted by DraftKings, without regard to any other claim or previous publication present on the website or any other media detailing otherwise. All payout calculations when settling bets will be done based on Decimal odds, irrespective of any other format displayed/chosen at the time of bet placement. The official result is final for settlement purposes except where specific rules state the contrary. The podium position in a motor race, the medal ceremony in athletics and any similar official ceremony or presentation in other sports are to be treated as the official result.
5. Cancellation (Voiding) of Bets
When an event is cancelled prior to starting, all related bets will be void and accounts refunded. If any game is abandoned due to injury, bad weather, crowd trouble etc. all bets that have already been settled up until the time of abandonment will stand. For example: If a football game is abandoned in the second half, all bets involving the 1st half will stand. What’s more, if a touchdown has been scored, the first touchdown scorer market will stand, but the last touchdown scorer bets will be void. For tennis: if a player retires injured in the 3rd set, all bets to win the 1st and 2nd sets will stand. A bet made as a parlay, except made as a Same Game Parlay, shall remain valid notwithstanding a game or an event which is part of the parlay bet being void. DraftKings reserves the right, at its own discretion with approval from the Gaming Commission, to declare a bet void, totally or partly, irrespective if the bet is settled, if it is obvious that any of the following circumstances have occurred: Bets have been offered, placed and/or accepted due to an Error; Bets placed while the website was encountering technical problems, that would otherwise not have been accepted; Influence Betting; Syndicate Betting; A result has been affected by illegal activity- directly or indirectly; An announcement has occurred in relation to the bet which alters the odds, such announcement occurring after the posting of the affected betting market and bets being placed on the affected event in a manner that would tend to show that the announcement affected the way that Patrons chose to bet. When a Patron places multiple copies of the same bet or places a number of bets that contain the same single selection. When this occurs, all bets may be voided apart from the first bet struck. An example would be where one particular selection is repeatedly included in multiple bets involving other short-priced selections. Where there is evidence of a series of bets each containing the same (or very similar) selection(s) having been placed by the same individual or syndicate of individuals.
A bet made as a parlay, except made as a Same Game Parlay, shall never include two or more offers where the outcomes of which might turn out to be related (e.g. Team X to become champions and Player Y to be Top Goal Scorer in the same league). Although DraftKings takes all necessary steps to prevent such possibilities, in the eventuality that this would happen, DraftKings reserves the right, solely at its own discretion, to declare void all parts of the accumulative/parlay bet which include the correlated outcomes. Bets can be voided regardless of whether the event has been settled or not. Furthermore, all bets placed (and/or accepted) in the following circumstances will be declared void: Pre-game betting Betting effected after the event has started; Betting effected after a related event was underway and where conditions could have been altered in a direct and indisputable way. Live betting Betting effected at incorrect price due to delayed or failing ‘Live’ coverage; Betting effected on particular offers after these have occurred, or else after an event which could normally be deemed as leading to the outcome has happened or is happening (e.g. bets placed on offers such as Total Goals Scored or Next Goal while a penalty is being taken, or has been awarded); Betting effected on odds which represented a different score than the actual score;

7. Common Terms of Reference
Is alcohol allowed in Okada?
Thank you for choosing Okada Manila to be part of your special event. Bringing food and alcoholic beverages inside the room is permitted as we want...
Unless listed either in conjunction with the odds, the sport-specific rules, the Market Rules, or the specific bet terms, all bets should be considered valid for the result at the end of the “Regular Time” or “Full Time” only. “Regular Time” or “Full time” is defined as interpreted by the official rules published by the respective governing association. For example, in soccer, full time is stipulated to be 90 minutes including injury time, and in hockey it is stipulated as the three 20-minute periods. Should the governing association decide to stipulate, before the start of the event, that the said event is to be played over a different duration, this will be treated as being the official rules for the event (for example, Under 17 football played with two 40-minute halves). Nonetheless, such occurrence is limited to the “regular” playing time and does not include any prolongation such as extra time or overtime, unless explicitly stated. “Live betting” is where it is possible to bet during an ongoing game or event. DraftKings does not acknowledge or accept any liability whatsoever if it not possible to place a bet or the live score update is not correct. At all times it is the Patron’s responsibility to be aware of the game and the events surrounding it such as the current score, its progression and how much time remains before the game is completed. DraftKings does not accept any liability for changes to the Live betting schedule or interruption of the Live betting service. The ‘Cash Out’ function allows the Patron the possibility to redeem a bet, which status has not been settled yet, at a value specified by DraftKings at the time the Cash Out is offered. It is available on selected events both in pre-game and live, as well as on both single and parlay bets. Cash Out functionality cannot be used on free bets. Cash Out requests might be subject to an imposed delay. Should it happen that during this delay, for whatever reason, either the offer is removed or odds fluctuate, the Cash Out request will not be accepted and the Patron will be notified with an on-screen message. DraftKings reserves the right to offer such functionality solely at its own discretion and does not acknowledge or accept any liability whatsoever if the Cash Out functionality is not available. Should a Cash Out request be successful, the bet will be settled immediately and any subsequent events which occur in relation with the bet will not be taken into account. In the instance of a cashed-out bet having suffered from a technical, pricing or settlement error at any time between the time of original placement and the cash out, DraftKings reserves the right rectify such inaccuracy in DraftKings’ sole discretion. The “Participant” is an object constituting part of an event. In “Head-to-Head” and “Triple-Head” the Participant only refers to objects that are subject to the “Head-to-Head” or “Triple-Head” event in question. The deadline (cut-off time) shown on the website is to be treated for information purposes only. DraftKings reserves the right, at its own discretion, to suspend, partially or completely, the betting activity at any time DraftKings deems necessary. Statistics or editorial text published on DraftKings’ site are to be considered as added information but DraftKings does not acknowledge or accept any liability whatsoever if the information is not correct. At all times it is the Patron’s responsibility to be aware of all relevant circumstances relating to an event. In case of any conflict between these Rules and language in a bet slip, the language in a bet slip will prevail. In the event of a conflict within these Rules, the conflict shall be resolved by giving precedent in the following order, from highest precedent to lowest: (i) the Sport Rules; (ii) the Market Rules; and (iii) the General Rules.
8. Prohibited Sports Wagering Participant

1. A person who is under the age of 21 at the time the bet is placed. Any person wishing to make a bet may be required to present proof of age prior to placing a wager.
2. A person who is prohibited from placing a bet pursuant to 9 NYCRR §5329.1H.
3. A person who is known to be an athlete, coach, referee, player, in, or on, any sports event overseen by that person’s sports governing body based on publicly available information

10. Methods of funding a wager
Retail Sports Wagers may be funded through multiple options, including, Cash, Vouchers, Casino Chips, and Winning Tickets, and may include any other method approved by the New York State Gaming Commission.
11. Dead Heat Reduction
In the event a bet sees two or more competitors tied for the same winning position (according to the terms of the bet), the “Dead Heat Reduction (“DHR”) rules” apply. A “Dead Heat Reduction” is calculated by dividing the odds proportionally among the number of winners for a particular position (i.e. finishing place) in the event. For example, in a two-way tie aka ‘Dead Heat’, your return would be half of what was originally projected in the bet slip at the time of bet placement. Example (all calculations should use decimal odds): You bet $50 wager on a golfer to have the best score among a group of 3 at +150 (2.5) odds. The event ends with two golfers tying for the best score in the group. 2.5 (original odds) ÷ 2 (number of participants who tied) = 1.25 (DHR odds) $50 x 1.25 = $62.50 payout A “Dead Heat Reduction” involving a bet with more than one finishing position (e.g. Top 10) is calculated as follows: Divide the number of participants who tied by the number of remaining finishing positions. Divide your original odds by the result of the calculation immediately above to find the new odds. Example (all calculations should use decimal odds): You bet $50 wager on a golfer to place in the Top 10 at +200 (3.0) odds. The event ends with the golfer tying for 8th place with 5 other golfers. 6 (tied participants) ÷ 3 (8th, 9th & 10th)) = 2.0 3.0 (original odds) ÷ 2.0 (new odds) = 1.5 (DHR odds) $50 x 1.5 = $75 payout

13. Build a Bet
As a convenience, Patrons may utilize “Build a Bet” (“BAB”), which is a wagering tool that is accessible by the Patron using their smartphone to scan a QR code that can be found on: cards handed out by the sportsbook; screens or other displays; or a URL on the property website. BAB allows the Patron to browse the sportsbook’s bet offerings on a website and subsequently create bet slips for wagers the Patron would like to eventually place with a ticket writer or at a kiosk, by a producing a separate ‘BAB code’ (QR or alphanumeric code) that was generated on the Patron’s smartphone. No wagers can be placed on the Patron’s smartphone directly from the BAB website. The Patron must present the BAB code associated with the bet slip at the ticket writers’ counter or at the kiosk to be scanned/entered for a valid wager to be created. Wagers generated via BAB will not be considered valid until a bet slip has been created by the ticket writer or at the kiosk. Presenting the BAB code to a ticket writer or at the kiosk does not guarantee an acceptance of the bets associated with the BAB code. The bets generated can be rejected for any reason including, without limitation, a material change in market conditions, a bet exceeding a limit, an event contained in a wager having started or the existence of an Error as defined in these Rules. In the event the odds originally associated with one of the Patron’s bets have changed, the Patron will be presented the option of accepting the bet at the updated odds/returns or not placing the wager in its entirety.
Please note that this is a condensed version of the DraftKings Sportsbook house rules. If you would like to review a complete copy of the house rules, which includes specific rules for each market offered, please contact a Sportsbook team member or visit a sports wagering kiosk.
