Ghost Leg - FAQs

What is Ghost Leg?

Ghost Leg gives you another chance if one selection in your qualifying BuildABet loses.

When you apply a Ghost Leg token to an eligible bet, if one leg of your BuildABet loses, the Ghost Leg token will remove it from your bet.

If all of your remaining selections win, your bet will be settled based on the odds of the remaining winning selections only. The odds of the losing leg will not be included in the payout calculation.

How do I use a Ghost Leg token?

To use a Ghost Leg token, you must opt in each time a new token becomes available in your Promotion Hub. Once you've opted in, you'll be able to apply the token to eligible pre-match BuildABets with 5 or more legs and combined minimum odds of 2/1 (3.0) or greater.

Please note that terms and conditions apply, and there are some scenarios where Ghost Leg will not be used, such as when one or more selections in your bet are voided.

What happens if one or more selections are void?

If one or more selections in your Ghost Leg bet are voided, the Ghost Leg token will be removed from the bet and, provided the token has not expired, it will be returned to your account.

Your bet will then be settled without the Ghost Leg token.

What if the Ghost Leg token has expired by the time the bet settles?

If the Ghost Leg token has already expired by the time the bet is settled, it will not be returned.

Your bet will only be settled once all selections have been confirmed. This means that if a losing selection is settled before another selection is later confirmed as void, the bet will remain unsettled until every leg has been completed. If the final result includes one or more voided selections, the Ghost Leg token will be returned (provided it has not expired).

An example of the above can be seen here:

You place a Ghost Leg BuildABet on Arsenal v Manchester City including the following selections:

  • Viktor Gyökeres to have 1+ shot on target
  • Erling Haaland to be booked

Gyökeres does not start the match and does not make an appearance, so that selection is void. Haaland is not booked, so that selection loses.

Because your bet contains a voided selection, the Ghost Leg token cannot be used on this bet. The bet will therefore be settled without the Ghost Leg token and will be a losing bet.

If your Ghost Leg token has not expired, it will be returned to your account so that you can use it again on another qualifying BuildABet.
