Impact Sub 2025/2026: All you need to know
With our Impact Sub feature, your bet doesn’t end when your player leaves the pitch. If a player you’ve backed is substituted before your bet is settled, your stake automatically transfers to their replacement, at the original odds.
That means your bet is still alive, even if your player isn’t on the pitch.

How it works:
- Look for the Impact Sub icon on eligible markets
- Place your bet as normal, no opt-in is required
- If your chosen player is substituted before the outcome of your bet is decided, your bet continues on the incoming sub at the original odds.
- If the substitute delivers on your bet (e.g. scores, assists, gets a card), your bet is a winner
In bets that require multiple occurrences (e.g. player to score 2 or more goals), any action performed by the original selection will be added to any subsequent action performed by their substitute.
For Example:
- Bet placed on Viktor Gyokeres to score two or more goals
- Gyokeres scores one goal and then is replaced by Kai Havertz who then also scores a goal.
- “Player to score 2 or more” for Viktor Gyokeres will be settled as a winner.

Competitions Covered:
Impact Sub is available on selected matches, including Premier League and Champions League fixtures involving UK teams. However, limited minutes haven’t stopped substitutes from making an impact. Here are some stats for the key Impact Sub markets:
Goals
In the Premier League last season, no player had a bigger impact off the bench than Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz, who came off the bench to score on six occasions. The Brazilian might be one to watch again this season, as he’s already helped Fulham rescue a point against Brighton in the ninety-seventh minute of their opening Premier League fixture after coming on as a substitute. Fulham teammate Harry Wilson is another player to keep an eye on, as he netted five goals off the bench last season.
Assists
A host of players came off the bench to provide assists last season, but no one contributed more than Brighton’s Brajan Gruda, who entered as a substitute to provide an assist on three occasions.
Other players to look out for this season are Adama Traoré, Christian Eriksen, Curtis Jones, Dango Ouattara, Danny Ings, Dwight McNeil, Jacob Murphy, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Marcus Tavernier, Pape Sarr, and Simon Adingra after their impactful contributions off the bench in the Premier League last season.
Cards
Last season, 160 players in the Premier League found themselves in the book after coming on as a substitute, so bookings can be an effective way of utilising the Impact Sub feature.
Four current Premier League players finished with four cards after coming off the bench last season in the form of Fulham’s Andreas Pereira, Brighton duo Mats Wieffer and Facundo Buonanotte, and Ryan Yates of Nottingham Forest
