Sports situations

The full specifications for each listed sports contract determine how it settles. Check the terms for your market before trading; different sports and contract types may use different criteria.

Does overtime, extra time or a shootout count?

Check the contract specifications. They determine whether settlement includes only regulation play or also includes overtime, extra time, penalties, or shootouts. Do not assume the same treatment applies to every market.

What happens if an event ends in a tie or draw?

The contract specifications determine how a tie or draw is treated. A tie does not automatically mean a refund or an equal payout. Review the available outcomes and settlement criteria before trading.

What if a player withdraws, is replaced or does not participate?

For a contract involving a named participant, review the participation requirements and cancellation provisions in its specifications. Withdrawal, replacement, inactivity, or limited participation may have different effects depending on the contract.

What if a game starts but is suspended or ends early?

Settlement depends on the contract terms, including any requirements for an official result or minimum amount of play. XV Exchange may adjust expiration where permitted by the Rulebook. Review any notice for the affected market.

What if an event changes its venue, start time or format?

The effect depends on the contract specifications and applicable Rulebook provisions. Review Exchange notices for any change to the market or trading deadline. Do not assume a venue or schedule change automatically cancels your position.

What if official results or statistics are corrected?

Review the contract’s official source and the point at which its result becomes final for settlement. Do not assume that a later correction automatically changes the payout. Contact Customer Support if you believe settlement did not follow the published terms.

Can a market settle before the scheduled event ends?

The Rulebook permits XV Exchange to bring expiration forward when a qualifying outcome occurs before the scheduled expiration. Whether that applies depends on the contract terms and circumstances. Review the relevant Exchange notice.
