Updated over 6 months ago
  1. For NCAA, WNBA and European Matches the game has to go at least 35 minutes for wagers to have action. In the case of NBA matches, the game must go at least 43 minutes.

  2. Winners are determined by the final score of the game including overtime, unless otherwise specified.

  3. In the event a game is suspended after the time stipulated above and play is not re-established later on that same day, the score shown when the game was suspended will be counted as final, for wagering purposes.

  4. In the event that the game is suspended before time stipulated above and play is not re-established later on that same day, all wagers will be deemed “No Action.”

  5. Wagers on both full-game and second-half lines include overtime scoring, unless specified.

  6. Bets on fourth-quarter lines DO NOT include overtime scoring.

  7. If a game is suspended, wagers on quarters and halves will have action only if that specific period was completed.

  8. Unless the information is changed prior to the start of the match, all games must be played on the scheduled date and location for wagers to have action.

  9. In the result of a tie, three-or-more-team Vegas Teasers are reduced to the next lowest payoff (i.e. a five-team Vegas Teaser turns into a four-team Vegas Teaser, four-team teasers become three-team teasers and so on). With two-team Vegas Teasers, however, keep in mind the following:

    Tie and a Win = No Action

    Tie and a Tie = No Action

    Tie and a Loss = Loss

    In all other teaser bets offered by BetOnline, including WNBA and WNCAA Teasers, a tie results in a LOSS, for wagering purposes.

  10. For player head to head matchup up prop bets, or single player statistic’s based prop bets, all quoted players must start or play in at least one play in the game for bets to have action.

These rules apply to both NCAA and NBA basketball.
