Addressing Betting Concerns

If you have questions or encounter issues with our markets or betting process, please contact us right away.

If you disagree with a betting decision, please provide a detailed explanation of your grievance for review.

General Exchange Principles

We aim to manage live markets smoothly by suspending them at the right moments, though we cannot guarantee that every suspension happens in absolute real-time.

Keep in mind that live broadcasts often have a slight delay, which could impact the timing and outcome of your in-play bets.

If a market fails to close at the designated 'off' time, any bets placed after that point may be declared void.

By following these rules, we can maintain a fair, transparent, and reliable betting environment for everyone involved.

Results and Market Settlement

Market outcomes are determined according to the Specific Sports Rules.

Where the Specific Sports Rules are silent on a particular matter, the official result from the sport's governing body will be used.

If no official result is provided, we will rely on reputable independent sources to settle the market.

We may adjust or reopen a market if new information comes to light within 48 hours of the initial settlement.

Settlement may be paused if there is uncertainty that needs to be resolved first.

Resettlements

Generally, markets are settled immediately after the event concludes.

We may update a settlement if the official final result differs from the initial one.

A settlement can be reversed if it was processed incorrectly.

Guidelines on Withdrawals and Disqualifications.

Please consult the Specific Sports Rules for detailed information.

Policies regarding Abandoned, Cancelled, or Postponed events.

Unless the Specific Sports Rules state otherwise, bets are voided if an event is not completed within three days.

Change of Venue

For team sports: If the game is moved to the original away team's home stadium, the bets are void.

For other sports: Bets remain valid regardless of any change in venue.

Surface change: Bets still stand.

Dead Heat

If there are more winners than the market allowed, payouts will be reduced proportionally.

Advance Bets: These are only valid for matches consisting of a full 20 or 50 overs.

Bet Suspension: All advance 'fancy' bets are locked 60 minutes before the match begins.

Session Validity: Bets on incomplete sessions are voided, while completed sessions are settled normally.

5. Premium Cricket Betting Rules:

Official Results: All wagers are based on official competition outcomes. If no official result is recorded, all bets are voided.

Limited Overs Completion: In T20, ODI, or other limited-overs games, bets are void if external factors (like rain) prevent 80% of the scheduled overs from being bowled. However, if the outcome was already decided before the interruption, the bet stands.

Cancellations and Replays: If a match is cancelled, it must be restarted or replayed within 48 hours; otherwise, all bets are cancelled.

Match Betting:

Competition Standards: We follow the official governing rules, though ties may be handled differently depending on the specific tournament format.

Weather Disruptions: For matches impacted by poor weather, the final official result is the sole basis for settlement.

External Abandonments: If a game is called off due to outside circumstances, bets are generally void unless the tournament's own rules state otherwise.

Match Betting (Draw No Bet):

Ties are treated as a dead heat.

Lack of Official Outcome: If the organizers do not provide an official result, all related bets are voided.

Tied Match:

First Class Ties: In First Class cricket, a tie occurs specifically when the side batting second is all out with their score exactly equal to the first side's.

Runs in First Over:

Validation Requirements: The completion of the first over is essential for a bet to be valid. Additionally, 'The Hundred' has its own unique rules regarding innings and overs.

Runs off First Delivery:

First-Ball Betting: These markets focus on the very first delivery of the match, with delivery and over counting adjusted for 'The Hundred' format.

Run-Out Markets: These bets focus on the number of players run out, provided certain validity criteria are met.

Match Ducks:

Duck Betting: This tracks players who are dismissed without scoring a single run (scoring a 'duck').

Match Wides:

Wide Ball Tracking: This looks at the number of wides bowled, counting only those officially recognized as legitimate wides.

General Completion Rules: Many markets require at least 80% of overs to be bowled to remain valid. In First Class cricket, the 200-over mark is often the key threshold. Note that events occurring during a Super Over typically don't count toward standard bets.
