General Betting Rules

The following general rules apply to each bet placed on the platform, alongside any sport or market-specific rules displayed before confirmation.

  • Eligibility to Place Bets
    • You must have an active account, be 18 or older, and be located where betting is allowed.
    • Your account must have sufficient cleared funds. Bonus funds may be restricted to selected markets or odds.
  • Bet Acceptance
    • A bet is accepted once it is recorded on the server and appears in your bet history with a unique reference number.
    • If there is a mismatch between your device display and server records, the server record prevails.
    • Markets close at the advertised start time. In-play markets are subject to delay and trading suspensions.
  • Stakes, Limits, and Odds
    • Minimum and maximum stakes, maximum payout per bet or per event, and market limits are shown on the bet slip or rules page.
    • Odds are subject to change until acceptance. If odds change during placement, you may be prompted to re-confirm.
    • The operator may restrict stakes, refuse bets, or limit exposure at its discretion.
  • Settlement of Bets
    • Bets are settled on the official result announced by the relevant governing body at the time of settlement.
    • Unless stated otherwise, settlement for football and similar sports is based on the result at the end of regular time including injury time, excluding extra-time and penalties. Cricket settlement follows the result as declared, including ties or no result according to market rules. Super Over or extra periods count only if a market specifies them.
    • Dead-heat rules apply where there are joint winners. Payouts may be proportionally reduced.
  • Postponed, Abandoned, or Cancelled Events
    • If an event is postponed or abandoned, and not completed within the time frame specified in the market rules, bets may be void and stakes returned. If a result is declared by the official body, settlement may follow that decision.
    • If a participant withdraws before an event and a replacement occurs, relevant bets may be void unless stated otherwise.
  • Errors and Palpable Prices
    • Where a market, odds, or handicap is obviously incorrect or offered due to a technical or human error, the operator may void affected bets or settle at the correct odds that should have been available at the time.
  • Cash Out and In-Play
    • Cash Out is not guaranteed. If the market suspends or prices change before processing, a Cash Out request may be rejected or recalculated.
    • Live data and scoreboards are for guidance only and may lag. Use official sources to read the event status before placing bets.
  • Cancellation by User or Operator
    • You cannot cancel a bet after acceptance. The operator may void bets for rule breaches, errors, or AML concerns.
  • Bonus Use in Betting
    • Free bets and bonuses cannot be withdrawn and may be subject to minimum odds, event restrictions, expiry, and wagering requirements. Check the promotion page before use.

These general rules apply to all bets unless a market states different settlement terms.
