Voids and Player Adjustments
Q: What happens if a player doesn't start the match?
A: We do not void a prediction immediately just because a player is named as a substitute. The prediction stays active until we know whether they appeared in the match. The outcome depends on whether the player comes on:
If a player is not in the matchday squad, then this will act just as if the player did not come off the bench, and we will void the prediction
Q: What happens if my player is carded whilst on the bench?
A: Cards shown to players on the bench do not count towards your prediction. If your player comes off the bench, he will need to receive another card for your prediction to win. If your player does not receive another card, then this will be settled as a loss. If your player does not come off the bench, we will void the prediction.
Q: How does a voided prediction affect the prizes?
A: You must answer all predictions correct to win a share of the jackpot. In the rare scenario your prediction is voided, you will not be able to win a share of the jackpot. In a scenario where a question must be voided for all entrants, there will be no prize awarded for the game.
Q: Can more than one prediction in a game be voided?
A: Yes. Multiple predictions in the same game can be voided if more than one player meets the void criteria.
Q: What happens if a game is postponed?
A: In the event that a relevant match is postponed or rescheduled to take place within the current or following 3 days of the original local event kick-off date, all Back it or Bin it questions relating to that match will stand, unless confirmation of the rescheduled start time is not received within 3 hours of the original kick-off time.
If confirmation is not received within this 3-hour window:
- Individual questions (single selections) relating to that match will be voided; and
- For rounds containing multiple questions, the affected question(s) will be voided, and the round and its prizes will be adjusted based on the remaining valid questions only.
If a match is postponed beyond 3 days from the original kick-off date, Betfair reserves the right to void the affected question(s), amend the round scoring criteria and prize distribution, or cancel the relevant round entirely where reasonably necessary.
In a scenario where a question must be voided for all entrants, there will be no prize awarded for the game.
