When placing a make order on Novig, you can set a custom duration for how long your order remains active.
Key Timer Rules for Make Orders
Pregame Make Orders
Expiration: Your pregame make order will cancel at whichever comes first:
When your custom duration time expires
When the game/event goes live
Important: Even if you set a duration that extends beyond the event's scheduled start time, your order will automatically cancel when the game/event begins
Live (In-play) Make Orders
When placing a live/in-play make order, you will be required to set an order duration before proceeding
Game End (default): Your make order will remain active and available to be matched until the game/event ends.
Custom Duration: Your make order will remain active and available to be matched from the time of placement until the amount of time you select has elapsed.
Expiration: Your live/in-play make order will cancel at whichever comes first:
When your custom duration time expires
When the game ends
Important: Even if you set a duration that extends beyond the event's expected end time, your order will automatically cancel when the event concludes
Game Timing Considerations
Scheduled Start Times: The displayed start time is our best estimate but may not always be exact
Early Game Starts: If a game/event begins before its scheduled start time, we may update its status to "live" and cancel all pregame make orders
Event Variations: Some events, like combat/tennis/golf matches, may have more variable start times than others
Pro Tips for Managing Your Make Orders
Set realistic durations: Consider the time until the game starts when setting your pregame make order duration
Monitor game status: Keep an eye on when events are going live, especially for events with variable start times
Use shorter durations for volatile markets: For fast-moving markets, consider shorter make order durations to avoid missing opportunities
