What is Sub On, Play On?
Bet on any player market with the Sub On Play On icon, and if your player gets subbed, your bet will roll over to their replacement.
For example, you bet on Mo Salah to score 2 or more goals, but he only scores 1. He is then subbed for Darwin Nunez. Darwin Nunez scores 1 goal taking your overall tally to 2 goals – and your bet wins.

Friday's much is a massive one for both teams with Coventry heading to Bramall Lane as the second tier's most in form team, while only goal difference now separates Sheffield United from the top of the table following their Steel City derby win a fortnight ago.
Two strong, long unbeaten records go head to head in the opening game of the weekend which makes me feel a draw is a likely result.
Tyrese Campbell and Haji Wright are each team's respective leading goal scorers this season, the former with nine Blades goals to his name this season, including three in his last four and goals in each of his last two appearances at Bramall Lane.
Despite having missed three months off the season through injury, Wright leads Coventry's goal scoring statistics following his hat trick in their last game, a 3-0 win over fourth-placed Sunderland.
Only five Championship players have taken more shots at goal in the league this season than Gus Hamer, Sheffield United's leading goal contributor this season, who will have a point to prove on Friday as he comes up against the club he left to join the Blades.
Only goal difference separates Sheffield United from the top of the Championship table following the most recent round of matches, which saw Chris Wilder's men win at the home of their closest rivals in the Steel City derby against Sheffield Wednesday.
Victory at Hillsborough was the Yorkshire side's third and four matches and takes them to just one defeat in their last nine matches, of which they've won seven.
Just two points separate the top three teams in the Championship in the battle for the two automatic promotion places with only eight matches to go, and with the Blades having by far the worst goal difference of the three, they'll be desperate not to drop points on Friday night against the most in form team in the league.
Coventry make the trip to Bramall Lane on Friday night have won 10 of their last 12 league games, including six of their last seven to fire them up from 16th in the league to inside the top five following their 3-0 win over fourth-placed Sunderland in their last outing.
Frank Lampard's side sit two points clear of the chasing pack in play-off hunt heading into the weekend, and can make it five away wins in their last six in all competition in South Yorkshire, but did fall to defeat in their most recent outing on the road against relegation strugglers Derby.
Sheffield United have only won one of their last five games against the Sky Blues, though the West Midlands side haven't won at Bramall Lane on any of their last six visits in the last 12 years.
