What happens to my Stay in the Game bet on Lucky Fish if a market is scratched?

Short Answer: If a market on your Stay in the Game bet on Lucky Fish is scratched, it does not qualify as a market. Your bet will be re-calculated, and it must still comply with the required number of markets, odds, and the winner-to-last-market rule to remain eligible for a refund.

The scratched leg is removed from the slip, which could drop your bet below the qualifying tier threshold.

1. How the Recalculation Works

Scratched markets are treated as void. For example, if you built a 15-leg accumulator for the Ten Money Back tier and one leg is scratched, the bet is recalculated as a 14-leg accumulator. Because the Ten Money Back tier requires 15+ markets, the recalculated bet no longer qualifies for the R5,000 maximum refund. It may only qualify for a lower tier if it still meets that tier's specific odds and market requirements.

2. Impact on Odds and Qualification

Beyond just the number of legs, the overall odds of your bet will change when a market is scratched. The terms state that the re-calculated bet must still comply with the rules regarding odds in excess of the specified limits. If the scratched market was a high-odds selection, removing it might drop your total accumulator odds below the required threshold, disqualifying the bet from the Stay in the Game refund entirely.
