Basketball Rules

Minimum Time for Action:

  1. College and WNBA basketball games must go at least 35 minutes to have action.
  2. NBA games must go at least 43 minutes to have action.
  3. For wagering purposes, winners and losers are determined by the final score (including overtime), provided that the game has gone the minimum time as specified above. If a game is suspended after the minimum time has been played and not resumed the same day, then regardless of whether the game is completed at a later date, the score when the game is halted will determine the betting results.
  4. If play is suspended before the minimum time has been reached and not resumed the same day, all bets will be scored as 'no action' and all monies refunded.

Additional Rules:

  1. All wagers on the game and all wagers on the second half will include overtime scoring.
  2. Wagers on fourth quarters do not include overtime scoring.
  3. Unless noted before a contest, all events must be played on the scheduled date and at the scheduled site to have action.
  4. At BetSportsWeb, a two team teaser with a push and a win is considered no action. A two team teaser with a push and a loss is a loss.
  5. These rules apply to both college and professional basketball.
  6. Las Vegas wagering rules will apply to any situations not covered herein.
