Traditional sportsbooks · settlement rules
One completed set and the match bet stands, settling on the player who advances. Before that, the stake comes back. A disqualification is treated the same way as a retirement.
| Retirement | Disqualification |
|---|---|
| stands after one set (ATP) | stands after one set (ATP) |
Retirement and disqualification are written into the same sentence here, so the cause makes no difference to how you are paid.
Where this comes from. DraftKings does not expose its tennis rules unless you are signed in, so there is no clause here to quote. The answers above are how DraftKings settles these in practice, from our own trading experience.
Props, total games and exact set score are voided and refunded where the match does not reach a natural conclusion, unless that particular market had already been unconditionally determined before play stopped.
The one-set rule above is the ATP rule. There are reports of a full- match requirement on WTA matches - a gender split we have seen nowhere else and cannot confirm - so check before relying on it for a women's match.
Yes, once a full set is complete - the bet stands and settles on the player who advances, so backing the retiring player loses rather than being refunded. Before that set finishes, the stake is returned.
Yes, on the same one-set basis: after a completed set the player who advances wins, and before it the market is voided.
Possibly. The one-set threshold is the ATP rule, and there are reports of a full-match requirement on the WTA side, which would mean a third-set retirement is refunded rather than settled. We cannot confirm it, so treat a women's match as the one to check.
