Kero Gaming Baseball Settlement Rules
General Rules
Section titled “General Rules”Market descriptions contain specific constraints important to understanding the settlement of markets (i.e. for next pitch result markets “@ 2nd pitch to Aaron Judge 3rd PA”, or plate appearance markets “@ Juan Soto 4th PA”). Please refer to the bet slip to review constraint details within individual markets.
In the case of overturned calls, markets asked with incorrect data will be voided. For example, if a runner is initially called safe on a double, and a market of whether the following batter will score a run publishes. If the call prior is then overturned, and the runner on second is called out, bets are void. In the case of coaches challenges, markets will resolve as the initial on field call. We reserve the right to resettle markets based on the decision made to overturn or not overturn the ruling on the field.
For player markets, the player specified must start, and either record at least one pitch (if pitcher), or one plate appearance (if position player) for bets to have action.
- Game: All bets include extra innings unless otherwise stated. The game must start on the scheduled day (local stadium time) for bets to have action.
- Full Inning: References both the top and bottom of the inning (i.e. Will there be a home run in the 2nd inning, will be settled “yes” if there is a home run in either inning).
- Half Inning: References either the top or bottom of the inning (i.e. Yankees to hit a home run in the 2nd inning?, will result “yes” if there is a home run in the half-inning they are batting in within the 2nd inning).
Statistics provided by and defined by the micro betting stats provider will be used to determine the settlement of bets placed within the following categories: (I) Pitch, (II) Plate, (III) Inning.
(I) Pitch
Section titled “(I) Pitch”Includes the specified pitch from the listed pitcher, to the listed batter as stated in the bet. All other instances will be void. All automatic balls and strikes due to pitch clock or timer violations will not count to settling markets. For example, “Next pitch result” will not resolve on an automatic ball due to a pitch clock violation, but will resolve on the next thrown pitch.
| Pitch ResultResult of the next pitch? @ 3rd pitch to Jo Adell 2nd PA Strike/foul, Ball, In-play | “In-Play” includes any type of hit (single, double, etc.) in addition to any batted ball which
results in an out(s) being recorded. Reaching on an error and failed fielder’s choice will
settle as “in-play”. Hit by pitch and pitch out are included in the settlement for “Ball”.
|
| Pitch SpeedNext pitch speed? @ 1st pitch to Anthony Volpe 1st PA Under 90.5 mph, Over 90.5 mph | If an official pitch speed is not available for a pitch at the conclusion of the game, all
wagers will be void. Official pitch speeds come from the micro betting stats provider. Pitch
speed on a television broadcast is not considered official.
|
| First Pitch ResultResult of the first pitch? @ 1st pitch to Bo Bichette 1st PA from Robbie Ray Strike/foul, Ball, In-play | Pitchers listed within the market must throw the first pitch for their team for action. Otherwise all bets will be void. |
(II) Plate Appearance
Section titled “(II) Plate Appearance”Includes one single plate appearance from a specified player. All bets on the specific market will be void in the following scenarios: error, intentional walk, failed fielder’s choice, reaching base on a dropped third strike (where the batter beats the throw to first base),, and catcher interference. A dropped third strike will be settled as a strikeout, regardless of the batter reaching safely. All incomplete plate appearances will be void.
| Result Reach BaseShohei Ohtani to reach base on his 5th plate appearance? No, Yes | “Yes” will be settled as the winner if the result of the player’s plate appearance ends with
that player being safely on any base or reaching home plate (including reaching base in
scenarios such as an error, fielder’s choice, and an intentional walk) and the half inning is
not over.
|
| Plate Appearance ExactNext pitch speed? @ 1st pitch to Anthony Volpe 1st PA Under 90.5 mph, Over 90.5 mph | “Reach on Error” includes an error, failed fielder’s choice, and catcher’s interference. |
| Pregame Plate AppearanceJuan Soto 1st plate appearance result? Hit, Out, Walk/HBP | Wagers will stand regardless of if a player is in the starting lineup or not. Players must have a plate appearance, or else prematch wagers will be void, unless otherwise stated. |
| Pitches ThrownCody Bellinger 2nd plate appearance pitch count? Under 4.5, Over 4.5 | If a plate appearance is cut short due to an out on the basepaths, those pitches do not
count towards settlement when the batter leads off the following inning.
|
(III) Inning
Section titled “(III) Inning”Predict the outcome of a team’s half inning results. A dropped third strike where the batter reaches safely counts toward the total number of strikeouts as detailed below. In the event of a tie, wagers will be void unless odds are quoted for the tie.
| Half Inning Strikeouts Over/UnderTotal strikeouts in the top of the 6th inning? Under 1.5, Over 1.5 | A strikeout with a dropped third strike where the batter reaches safely will count as a strikeout. For settlements of 1.5 or 2.5 lines of the over/under market, the strikeouts do not need to be consecutive. For example, a dropped third strike where the batter reaches safely, followed by a fly out, followed by two strikeouts, will still be graded as a strikeout. |
| Pitches ThrownCody Bellinger 2nd plate appearance pitch count? Under 4.5, Over 4.5 | If a plate appearance is cut short due to an out on the basepaths, those pitches do not
count towards settlement when the batter leads off the following inning.
|
Resettlements
Section titled “Resettlements”Statistics provided by and defined by the micro betting stats provider will be used to determine the settlement of bets. Where statistics are not provided or there is overwhelming evidence that the settlements are incorrect as defined by the rules within this document, we will use evidence from MLB.com’s data for the game to support resettlement claims. Where there is an absence of MLB.com data for the specified instance, video replay may be used as a final check to establish a verdict on the resettlement claim. In the case where there is no video replay or MLB.com data available, the original settlement will stand based upon the evidence by the micro betting data provider. Resettlements are at the sole discretion of the Kero customer support team, and require resounding evidence in order to be executed.
Matches Postponed, Brought Forward, Abandoned or Interrupted
Section titled “Matches Postponed, Brought Forward, Abandoned or Interrupted”Markets only publish 15 minutes before the game start time. If the game is abandoned or postponed, we consider the event to be completed and automatically void all bets and close the event. We further reserve the right to void bets if we receive an indication by our data provider that the game was rescheduled, canceled or abandoned.
Bets on matches played before the scheduled date or time are valid if placed before the new start time. Abandoned games are considered void unless a bet’s outcome was already determined, such as the first team to score a run. If an interrupted game resumes and finishes within a reasonable time frame since the start of the event, as determined by the micro betting data provider, bets remain valid. Otherwise, bets are void except those already decided. If a game is replayed in full, it is treated as abandoned, voiding bets except those determined before the interruption.
If a winning selection in a specific market has been unequivocally determined before the suspension/abandonment of the game, wagers will stand, and settlement will occur as expected. If a winning selection for a specific market has not been unequivocally determined at the time of suspension/abandonment, all wagers will be void. In the case of a suspension/abandonment, any subsequent replays/completions, award of the game result by governing bodies, etc. will not count toward settlement.
In the instance of a postponed game, all wagers placed on that game will be void. A postponed game is one that does not start on the scheduled day it is to be played. Postponement refers to date and time of game location, not where the customer is located.
