General Betting Rules and Settlement

  • Who can place bets
    • Only verified users aged 18+ who meet eligibility and registration checks can place a bet.
    • The account holder must be the person placing the bet; third-party or pooled bets are not allowed.
  • Bet acceptance
    • A bet is accepted when it appears in your bet history with a unique reference number and status marked as accepted.
    • Pre-match bets close at the scheduled start time; live betting availability depends on the event feed and risk settings.
    • Odds may change before acceptance. The final odds for settlement are those shown on the accepted slip.
  • Stake limits and payouts
    • Minimum and maximum stakes, as well as maximum payout per bet or per market, are shown in the bet slip or market rules.
    • Limits can vary by sport, league, event, and market. The platform may restrict stakes or refuse bets to protect market integrity.
  • Calculating returns
    • Decimal odds apply unless stated otherwise. Return on a winning single equals stake multiplied by the odds.
    • For accumulators, all selections must win. Any void selection in a multi-bet is settled at odds of 1.00, and the rest stand.
    • If a market is settled incorrectly, it may be re-settled based on official results and reliable data sources.
  • Settlement sources and timelines
    • Official competition organisers, data providers, or widely recognised result sources are used. Most markets are settled within a reasonable time after confirmation.
    • If an event is postponed, abandoned, or rescheduled, settlement follows the specific sport rules published in the Help Centre or the market description.
  • Market restrictions
    • The operator may suspend markets, adjust odds, or void bets in cases of palpable error, system failure, suspicious or irregular betting, or integrity alerts.
    • Duplicate bets, correlated selections not offered as such, and bets placed after an outcome is known can be voided.
  • Cancellations and cash out
    • Once accepted, a bet cannot be cancelled by the user. Cash out may be offered at the operator’s discretion and is not guaranteed.
    • If a palpable error is identified, affected selections may be voided and the stake returned.
  • Bonus and promotion rules
    • Bets placed using bonus funds or free bets are subject to the published bonus terms, including wagering requirements, market restrictions, minimum odds, and expiry.
