What Happens When a Sports Game Is Postponed?
At Lunaris, bets on a postponed American football game are cancelled unless already graded, while suspended games stay active. Here is how each case is settled.

At Lunaris, when an American football game is postponed, the affected wagers are cancelled, except for markets that were already officially graded. A suspended game is different: wagers stay active until the game is completed or postponed. Other sports follow their own sport-specific settlement rules.
Postponed vs Suspended
| Situation | What it means | What happens to the wager (American football) |
|---|---|---|
| Postponed | The game does not take place as scheduled | Affected wagers are cancelled; markets already graded stay graded |
| Suspended | Play stops partway and is meant to resume | Wagers stay active until the game is completed or postponed |
A cancelled wager is treated as no action: it does not win or lose.
A Worked Example
You place two American football wagers on the same game, which is postponed in the third quarter:
| Wager | Status when the game is postponed | Result |
|---|---|---|
| First-half spread | Already officially graded as a win | Stays a win |
| Full-game moneyline | Not graded | Cancelled |
The first-half bet was settled before the postponement, so it stands. The full-game bet had not been graded, so it is cancelled.
What About Parlays?
A parlay is graded leg by leg. Check how the affected leg was graded in your bet history: legs graded as a push are removed and the parlay is paid on the remaining selections at adjusted odds. How are parlay payouts calculated shows how that recalculation works.
