Betfair Substitution Guarantee: Get a Second Chance if Your Player is Subbed!

Football is a funny old game, as they say — and Betfair knows only too well that sometimes, players will be substituted early in a match. As a sportsbook customer, you can have a player voided from your bet if they leave the pitch within the first 10 minutes of play, so breathe a sigh of relief!

Simply place a bet on a major football market at Betfair’s sportsbook, and the site will void any players you have bet on if their team substitutes them before the 10-minute mark. This means your bet can continue without an early spoiler, so there’s no need to scrunch up that betting slip just yet!

Betfair’s substitution rule applies to matches that take place in the Europa League, Premier League and Champions League, for a range of different markets that are available to view via the Betfair website.

Free bets don’t qualify for this perk, but it does apply to paid bets whether you bet in-play or before the match begins.

Betfair will give you your money back if your chosen player is subbed unless the match’s outcome is already determined. If betting on a multiple, that leg of your slip will be voided, and the rest of your bet will be repriced.

Betfair credits bettors no longer than an hour after a substitution takes place; however, you will usually be credited within minutes. Mobile and online sportsbook bets apply, but exchange bets are excluded. Partial cash outs will render your remaining stake a live bet.

Standard Betfair rules apply. Please read the complete terms and conditions on the main website and gamble responsibly.
