The Office will only accept Wagers through the Mobile App, Site and licensed Lottery Sports Wagering retailers that are recorded on the Office's gaming system.
Mobile and Site-based Wagers are placed through the internet connection between the Player's device and the Office's sports wagering system.
A Wager is only considered placed when it is Confirmed by the Office.
All confirmed Wagers are final.
A Player cannot cancel or refund Wagers once they have been Confirmed by the Office.
Wagers lost in transmission will not be recorded and therefore will not be confirmed. A Player will be required to have a high-speed internet connection to place Wagers for geolocation purposes. The Office is not responsible for costs associated with use of a high-speed internet connection.
A Wager can only be placed on a given Sports Event if it is available on the Mobile App or Site and the terms for placing the Wager have not expired. The Office has the sole discretion to determine what Wagers are available at any given time on the Mobile App and Site. The Office only allows Wagers on Sport Events with a Governing Body.
Wagers are processed in the order they are received. Unless otherwise stated, all times shown on the Mobile App or Site or terminal are Eastern Time (ET). Generally, Pre-Game Wagers must be placed prior to the start time of the Sports Event. The start time for a Sports Event is the official start time declared by the competition's Governing Body. For Sports Events in which an official start time is not declared, the advertised start time of the Sports Event is considered the start time. At the discretion of the Office, Pre-Game Wagers may be accepted after the start time of the Sports Event if the final result is not known and no team or participant has achieved a material advantage (such as, but not limited to, scoring a goal or touchdown or expulsion of a player) at the time the Pre-Game Wager is placed. Disputes regarding the time a Wager is placed are resolved by the Office.
The Office reserves the right to void any Wager at any time for any reason. If the outcome of the Sports Event is known or a material advantage has occurred, the Office reserves the right to void the Wager, regardless of its outcome. If an I n-Game Wager has been placed after the outcome of the Event Wagered on is known or a team or participant has achieved a material advantage (e.g., scoring a goal or touchdown or expulsion of a player), the Office reserves the right to void the In-Game Wager, regardless of its outcome. If the Office cannot satisfactorily determine the official Sports Event results, then the Office may void and refund the Wager amount only as provided in the House Rules. A Wager is void and no Winnings will be paid if the Office determines a Player placed the Wager illegally or otherwise violated these rules.
The Wager amount is at the sole risk and discretion of the Player, except that the Office may impose minimum and maximum Wager amount limits or prize amount limits at any time. Such limits will be communicated to the Player on the Mobile App and Site. The Wager amount may not exceed the amount in the Account. When a Player places a Wager, the Wager amount is deducted from the Account and ultimately withdrawn from the Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Player may self- impose limits in accordance with the Office's Responsible Gaming Program.
The Office determines if a Wager is a winning Wager based on the official Sports Event results. The scores and results for a game become the official Sports Event results when the Office enters the results in the Office gaming system. Before the results are declared official by the competition's Governing Body, the Office may recognize changes to the results and resettle Wagers, but once the results are declared official, the Office will generally not recognize changes including, but not limited to, the game's final score, or any protests, overturned decisions, or statistical changes made by the competition's Governing Body that changes the final score or call on a particular play.
A "push" means that the official result of a Sports Event ends right on the listed point spread or finishes in a draw or tie. For such Wagers, the Winnings are equal to the original Wager amount and subject to Offsets as referenced in these rules.
Subject to 30 DCMR § 400 (Hearings), Players agree that the Office's decision are final and binding on all matters in relation to Wagering, or the Player's eligibility for a prize, claim or Winnings.
The Player accepts that, from time to time, errors may be involved with Wagers and a resettlement of the Wager may be required. Errors for purposes of resettlement include, operator errors, the competition's Governing Body changes a call on a particular play or final score or a malfunction may cause Winnings to be incorrectly credited to the Player's Account.
If, as a result of software or data feed problems, or human error, a Wager is accepted that are:
If a Wager or series of Wagers is accepted that is considered to provide guarantee profit for the Player (i.e. Wagering on separate Wager types that cover the opposite probability range), then the Office reserves right to either (i) settle at the correct price, as reasonably determined by the Office, or (ii) void any such wager placed.
If there is a discrepancy between the numbers that the Player believes they entered or the graphic display of the Game and those in the Office's gaming system or any of Office's service provider's databases, the numbers in the database are considered valid.
Data which is available and displayed on site or mobile application, such as current scores, time elapsed etc., is provided from a "live feed" supplied by a third party and may be subject to time delay or be inaccurate. If Players relies on this data to place bets, Players do so entirely at their own risk and the Office accepts no responsibility for any loss (direct or indirect) suffered by the Player as a result of the Player's reliance on it.
If it appears that a series of Wagers contain duplicative or identical selections made by, or on behalf of, the same person or group of people, or in their favor, the Office reserves the right to suspend the Players' Accounts involved until an investigation is completed. These Wagers are ineligible for Winnings.
