What happens if more than one substitute comes on at the same time? 

The substitute that replaces your player will be determined by OPTA and this information can be found here.

If you'd like to find out more about OPTA definitions, see our help article here.

Can I cash out my bet when the substitute comes on? 

Yes, cash out will be available for the full duration of the game. To find out more about Cash Out, see our help article here.

What happens if my sub is subbed off? 

Your bet will apply to the substitute who replaces the original substitute. The player you bet on will display in your bet slip and the replacement will be shown as the player who finished the game. 

Example: Let's say you've backed Mohamed Salah, but he's replaced by Cody Gakpo, who's then subbed off for Florian Wirtz. Your bet passes from Salah, to Gakpo, and then to Wirtz. 

Your betslip will still show Mohamed Salah as your pick, but the bet will settle based on what Wirtz does.

In the event of an outfield player being taken off for a goalkeeper what would happen? 

If an outfield player is replaced by a goalkeeper, your Super Sub bet still stands. All bets on the original player will transfer over to the goalkeeper.

So, if you'd backed the outfield player to be carded or fouled, those bets will now apply to the subbed-on goalkeeper instead.

Does Super Sub apply to the Goalkeeper Saves market? 

A bet on Goalkeeper Saves applies to the total number of saves by that team's goalkeeper. If the goalkeeper is substituted, your bet naturally carries on to the replacement goalkeeper.
