Megasino Sportsbook – Rules

 

Settlement of bets (All sports)

For the settlement of bets, the statistics of the official points provider or the official website of the respective competition or game are used.

If such official sources are not available or there is significant evidence of their inaccuracy, we will use independent evidence to settle the bet.

 

In the absence of consistent, independent evidence or in the case of significantly contradictory information, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.

 

In markets where the outcome is already determined, bets remain valid in the event of premature termination of the game, cancellation, suspension, etc.

Example: If a football match is abandoned at a score of 2:1, bets on Over/Under 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 remain valid, all other lines are cancelled and refunded.

 

Bets on undecided markets, even if a natural outcome would suggest an indisputable result, are considered invalid.

 

 

 

Rules for individual sports

 

American football

Including NFL, NCAA College Football, WLAF, UFL, CFL and Arena Football.

If the venue is changed, bets already placed remain valid as long as the home team is still designated as such. If the home and away teams are reversed, bets based on the original fixture are void.

 

In 2-way markets, the push rules apply unless otherwise stated. Stakes on single bets are refunded; in combination bets, the selection is treated as a non-starter.

 

Pre-match bets (including 2nd half/4th quarter) INCLUDE overtime unless otherwise stated.

 

There must be 5 minutes or less of regular playing time remaining for bets to be valid – unless the outcome of the market has already been determined.

The score is calculated based on the most gross yards thrown.

Long-term/seasonal bets

 

Bets on the Super Bowl winner, conference winner, and division winner are valid regardless of the season length.

NFL wins in the regular season only count if the team plays all scheduled games.

Conference winner (AFC/NFC) = Team that reaches the Super Bowl.

Division winner = Team with the most wins in the regular season (NFL tiebreak rules apply).

Wildcard winners = Teams that qualify for the playoffs via the wildcard.

"Number One Seed" = Team with home-court advantage in all playoff rounds.

CFL “Reach Grey Cup” = The team that reaches the Grey Cup final is considered the division winner.

All betting markets for matches are settled including extra time, unless otherwise stated. Regular time must be completed for bets to be valid, unless otherwise stated.
