Will my bet be void if a player doesn't start the match?

All bets on Squad Bet will be voided at kick-off if any player included in the bet doesn't start the match - i.e. bets on players that start on the bench will be voided as well. 

The outcome of your Squad Bet bets will be displayed using the same WONLOST, or VOID indicators as those used across our Sportsbook, aligned with the product catalogue.

Here's how it works: 

Example: 

  • Match: Home Team (Team A) vs. Away Team (Team B)
  • Your Bet: Team A to win 
  • Result: Team A wins 1-0 

Outcome: 

  • The bet is settled as WON - the signpost will display WON. 
  • If the bet is later resettled as VOID (e.g., due to specific circumstances), the signpost may still display WON.

Lineup Announcements 

As soon as possible after the starting lineup is announced, you will only be shown a list of available players (excluding goalkeepers) for each team - to avoid the selection of a player that doesn't start the match, and consequently have the bet voided.

When will bets be resulted?

Bets will be settled as soon as possible after the bet is either won or lost.

What else do I need to know?

Resettlements 

Outcomes are generally settled as soon as possible after the end of the event in question.

Sky Bet may settle (or part-settle) some outcomes before the official result is declared (or may increase a customer's "available to bet" balance by the minimum potential winnings of that customer on a given outcome) purely as a customer service benefit.

However, Sky Bet reserves the right to amend the settlement of the market if: 

  • The official result is different to the result on which Sky Bet initially settled the outcome; or 
  • If the outcome is eventually voided (e.g. for an abandoned event). 

Sky Bet reserves the right to reverse the settlement of an outcome if an outcome is settled in error (for example, a human or technical error). 

If Sky Bet resettles an, this may lead to amendments being made to a customer's balance to reflect changes in outcome settlement.
