Handball General rules All bets will be settled based on the score at the end of regulation time, excluding overtime (if played). All matches must start on the scheduled date (local time) for bets to have action, otherwise bets will be void. All matches are based on the result at the end of a scheduled 60-minute play. If the scheduled 60 minutes are not played, bets will be void, unless stated otherwise or the outcome has already been determined. An exception is made for matches in which a mercy rule is used. The result at the time of the mercy rule call will be used for settlement purposes. A mercy rule is designed to avoid humiliating losses and ends a game early if one team builds a substantial lead. The number of goals classed as a ‘substantial lead’ varies between leagues. If a match is postponed or abandoned for any reason, all bets will be void unless rearranged and played on the same day or stated otherwise in the rules. An exception is made if an incorrect start time is announced on our website in error. The statistics provided by the official website of the relevant competition or fixture will be used for settlement purposes. In the case where statistics are not available on the official website or there is significant evidence that the official website statistics are incorrect, we will use an independent source of our choice to settle bets. In the absence of consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics. If the relevant player doesn’t get any playing time in the match, bets on him will be void. Any stats achieved in overtime (if played) will be taken into account for settlement purposes unless specified otherwise. Win/Loss is determined by a comparison between the stats achieved by the named player and a pre-given number of stats.
