Sports & Betting
How wagers work at ONYX — bet types, grading, voids and pushes, live betting, cash-out.
Placing a bet
Single moneylines, point spreads, totals, run/puck lines, 3-way moneylines and Asian handicaps (soccer), parlays of 2–12 legs, teasers, futures, player props, and live (in-play) wagers. See the full taxonomy in How to Bet.
A parlay combines 2–12 selections; every leg must win for the ticket to win. If a leg pushes or is voided, that leg drops out and the parlay continues at the next lower bracket. One losing leg loses the whole parlay. Standard parlay payouts are listed on How to Bet.
{{-- TODO(DJ): confirm player-facing SGP status. Bet Builder UI shows "Same-Game Parlay — Coming Soon" in left-nav (partials/left-nav.blade.php). --}} Same-Game Parlay is on the roadmap and not yet available. Use the Parlay Builder (Easy Parlay) for cross-event parlays today.
Futures are season-long markets (Super Bowl winner, NBA Finals, league MVP, etc.). Your stake is locked until the market resolves; prices move all season. Futures settle when the underlying outcome is officially decided.
Settlement, voids & pushes
It depends on the sport. NFL after 55 minutes, NBA after 43, college basketball after 35, MLB after 5 complete innings (4.5 if home leads), NHL after 55, soccer after 75. See Betting Rules for the full per-sport list.
Postponed or cancelled games are graded as No Action — your stake is refunded to your wallet. If a postponed game is rescheduled within the same league's standard window, the wager may carry over; otherwise it is voided. See Betting Rules for sport-specific rules.
A push means the result lands exactly on the line (e.g. spread of −3 with a 3-point margin). A push refunds your stake at +100. A void occurs when a market cannot be graded (player did not play a snap, market cancelled, etc.). Void legs drop out of parlays and reduce the parlay to the next-lowest bracket.
Most markets settle within minutes of the official final. Player props and lineup-dependent markets can take longer if the league's official boxscore lags. Settlement credits your wallet immediately on grading — no manual claim required.
Winning tickets expire 60 days after the event date. Unsettled tickets older than this should be raised via support.
Cash-out & cancellations
{{-- TODO(DJ): confirm whether cash-out is enabled at launch or post-launch. --}} Cash-out is on the roadmap. When live, eligible single bets and parlays will display a Cash Out button on My Bets; the offered amount reflects current market prices and may move or be withdrawn at any moment.
No. All bets are final once confirmed. The price is locked at the moment of placement.
Live betting
Once an event is live, markets reopen with prices that move in real time. Lines may suspend during key moments (red zone, penalty shots, between sets) and reopen seconds later. Live odds update via Reverb push — the page does not need a reload.
Odds shift constantly in-play. If a price changes after you add it to your slip, the slip prompts you to accept the new line before placing — your bet is never silently re-priced.
