Category Definition
Sportsbook Introduction
A sportsbook is a category that groups scheduled events and the markets associated with them. Each market should state what outcome is being selected, when the market closes and how it will be settled. Event status, postponements and cancellations can affect settlement, so current rules matter more than a static list.
This guide explains a category. It does not confirm current titles, providers, schedules, results or availability.
Features

Market rules
Confirm what each market means and how postponed, cancelled or interrupted events are handled.
Selection review
Check that the event, market, selection and amount are visible before confirmation.
Result and settlement status
Use the platform's stated result source and settlement rules; do not infer settlement from an external score alone.
