Football Rules

Full Time and Periods

All match markets are based on the result at the end of a scheduled 90 minutes play (also "Full Time" or "Regular Time") unless otherwise stated. This includes any added injury or stoppage time but does not include extra time, time allocated for a penalty shootout or golden goal. The exemptions to this rule are in relation to friendly matches where all match markets will be settled based on the final result when the game finishes regardless of whether the full 90 mins is played.

If the statutory time for a football match differs from 90 minutes, stated rules will apply. For example, an 80 minute match also includes injury time and added time, but not extra time or penalty shoot-outs, unless otherwise stated.

Matches where statutory time is less than 45 minutes or more than 120 minutes will be considered void. In case of unusual time periods (e.g. 3 periods of 30 minutes each), bets will stand as long as the total statutory time of the match is between 45 minutes and 120 minutes.

Betting markets can also be offered for specific periods of a match:

Matches Abandonments/Postponements

In the event of a match abandoned before the completion of 90 minutes play all markets will be declared void except for those tickets that have been placed in-play and the outcome of which has already been determined at the time of abandonment.

An unplayed or postponed match will be treated as void unless the governing body announce that the fixture will be played within the next 48 hours. In such cases tickets will carry over. If no rescheduled date is announced tickets will be void.

Matches Not Played as Listed

If a match venue is changed then tickets already placed will stand providing the home team is still designated as playing at home. If the home and away team for a listed match are reversed then tickets placed based on the original listing will be void. For matches played at a neutral venue (whether indicated or not), all tickets will stand irrespective of which team is listed as the home team.

A match played prior to the denoted kick-off time may be included in a ticket provided that the ticket was placed before the revised kick-off time.

If an official fixture list contains different team details to those provided by us then all tickets will be void, e.g. team name specifics such as Reserves, age group specifics such as U18, gender specifics such as Women, etc. In all other cases tickets stand, including instances we list a team name without specifying the term 'XI' in the name.

Settlement and cancellation rules

If the market remains open when the following events have already taken place: goals, red or yellow-red cards and penalties, we reserve the right to void betting.

If the market was opened with a missing or incorrect red card, we reserve the right to void betting.

If odds were offered with an incorrect match time (more than 5 minutes), we reserve the right to void betting.

If a wrong score is entered, all markets will be cancelled for the time when the incorrect score was displayed.

If a match is interrupted or postponed and is not continued within 48 hours after initial kick-off date betting will be void (see above).

If the team names or category are displayed incorrectly, we reserve the right to void betting.

In case of any score or card/corner/penalty related changes, we reserve the right to void betting on any video assistant referee (VAR) situation.
