How It Works
Who Has Settlement?
FieldFunded is the only provider where settlement is available on the free tier. Sportradar provides scores and results, but you must build the resolution logic yourself.
Edge Case Handling
The settlement API handles every edge case automatically:- Postponed games: 48-hour rule. If the game resumes within 48 hours, bets stay active. After 48 hours, all markets refund.
- Cancelled / Walkover: Immediate refund on all markets.
- Void legs in parlays: Void leg odds set to 1.0, combined odds recalculated, payout adjusted.
- Partial settlement: Complex markets (player props, correct score) may resolve 10-30 minutes after simple markets (1x2, Winner). The API returns “pending” for unresolved markets.
Rate Limit Math for Settlement
Settlement polling is lightweight. A typical settlement loop:
The free tier (10,000 req/month) can handle settlement for ~6 days of moderate volume. For production, the Starter plan at $29/month handles settlement comfortably alongside live odds polling.
