Rules
Does extra time count in a bet builder?
Usually not. A bet builder leg settles on 90 minutes plus stoppage time unless that leg's market includes extra time. Sky Bet and Betfred say this for bet builders in their rules, and Sky Bet names the exceptions: To Qualify, Lift The Trophy and Win The Tie. Unibet settles each part of a Bet Builder under that market's own rule, and some Unibet player markets, such as Player Goals, include extra time. The other bookmakers' terms we read don't mention extra time for bet builders (checked 18 Oct 2026).
