  • To score a free kick
  • To score a penalty
  • To score a header
  • To score from outside the penalty area
  • To assist a goal
  • To receive a card
  • To be sent off

1. Bets are settled on the events that occur in normal time. This includes any injury/stoppage time added on by the match official at the end of normal time.

2. Extra time doesn't count.

3. An assist is defined as the final pass or pass-come-shot leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal.

  • A player who wins a free kick or penalty where a goal is subsequently scored won't count as having achieved an assist.

4. If one (1) or both of the selected players leave the field of play without achieving the required outcome, bets placed on the player/s in this market will have lost and will be settled as losers.

5. If a match is postponed, normal postponed match rules apply.

6. If a match is abandoned, normal abandoned match rules apply.

  • If a match is abandoned and the selected player/s has achieved the required outcome in the time played before abandonment, bets placed in this market will have already won and will be settled as winners.Bets placed on other options in this market will have lost and be treated as losers.
  • If a match is abandoned and the selected player/s has left the field of play without achieving the required outcome in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that player/s in this market will have already lost.
  • If a match is abandoned and the selected player/s is still on the field of play and hasn't achieved the required outcome at the time of abandonment, bets placed on the selected player/s in this market will be void, subject to normal abandoned match rules, because the match didn't play for the full duration.

7. Settlement of all stats markets will be based on data provided by OPTA (Part of the Stats Perform Group).

  • OPTA stats are available here.
  • OPTA may occasionally go back and make amendments to ensure accuracy. We'll settle all markets based on their final decision.
