Patrons will be prompted with a confirmation message that selections are correct prior to the selection of the ‘place wagers’ button. Line change notifications may occur at any time during the wager placement process. The system by default accepts more favorable odds and the player must acknowledge or decline any less favorable odds changes. This setting can be adjusted by the player to accept all odds changes for fastest play or remain on the system default of accepting more favorable odds.
  4. For online wagers, if a patron made an inadvertent bet in patron's account due to an error (e.g., inadvertent multiple identical bets), patron must inform BetMGM within 15 minutes of any bet patron placed for BetMGM to consider appropriate adjustments to be made to patron's account.
  5. Wagers accepted will not be able to be changed or voided by the player upon confirmation of the successfully placed wager.

BetMGM prohibits wagers on any single sport or athletic event in which any Virginia collegiate team or individual competing through a Virginia collegiate program (a “prohibited collegiate participant”) participates regardless of where the event takes place.

  13. If a prohibited collegiate participant finishes as the winner of a futures market, the second place team in that market (or highest placing team that is not prohibited) will be considered the winner for purposes of settling the futures market (i.e. Virginia wins the NCAA men’s basketball championship, the team they beat in the final will be considered the champions).
