- Rules/Knowledge Base
1. If the wagering
offer on a match includes
the draw as a third option and the match
ends in a draw, wagers on the draw will
be paid, while wagers on both teams will
be lost.
2.
Soccer kickoff dates and times displayed on
our sponsor websites are an indication
only and are not guaranteed to be correct.
If it is unclear as to whether bets
should stand or be refunded because
of a postponement, Most soccer sportsbooks
will follow the consensus rulings of
bookmakers in Asia and in Europe.
3. Unless
otherwise specified, wagers on the
outcome of a match will be decided
on regulation time only. This
includes two halves of play and any
time the referee adds on to compensate
for injuries and other stoppages. It
does not include periods of extra time
nor penalty shootouts.
4. If
a match is suspended before full time
is reached, and not completed
the same day, wagers on the outcome
of the match are considered void and
all stakes shall be returned. Wagers
on propositions that have not been
decided shall also be voided and stakes
returned. Wagers on propositions that
have been decided (examples include,
but are not limited to: first goalscorer,
if a goal has been scored; first half
wagering, if the first half is complete;
first card, if a player has been sent
off or booked) will be settled and
paid.
5. Handicap
Betting: Soccer games may have
either a Single Handicap or a Double
Handicap.
Single
Handicap: This bet type is similar
to a bet on the spread in basketball.
For example: Arsenal -1, -125
Newcastle +1, +113
If Arsenal wins the match by two goals
or more, Arsenal bettors win and Newcastle
bettors lose. If the match is drawn or
if Newcastle wins, Newcastle bettors
win and Arsenal bettors lose. If Arsenal
wins by exactly one goal, all bettors
receive a refund.
Double
Handicap: This bet type splits
a wager into two bets, each with the
same moneyline, but at a different
single handicap.
For example:
Real Madrid -1 and -1.5, -108
Barcelona +1 and +1.5, +100
A client who bets $100 on Real Madrid
actually has two separate bets on Real
Madrid: $50 on Real Madrid -1 at -108
and $50 on Real Madrid -1.5 at -108.
A client who bets $50 on Barcelona
actually has two separate bets on Barcelona:
$25 on Barcelona +1 at +100 and $25 on
Barcelona +1.5 at +100.
6.
Overs/Unders: A match must reach full time for wagers
on the total number of goals scored in
the match to be valid.
7. Should
there be a dispute over a proposition
(examples include, but are not limited
to: name of the first goalscorer; time
of a goal) wagers will be settled and
paid based on the reports of the sporting
media.
8.
Accumulators (Parlays, Multis): We
accept accumulators on the day of the
match only. Clients may win a limited
amount on accumulators that share a
common selection (team or draw). Should
the sum total of the winning accumulators
return more than the limit allowed,
the client will receive only the prescribed
maximum. These limits do not include
the amount staked.

The maximum accumulator
(parlay) win for matches in the English
Premier League, Italian Serie A, German
Bundesliga I, Spanish Primera Liga, European
Champions' League (group stages forward),
UEFA Cup (third round forward), World
Cup final tournament or European Championship
final tournament is $50,000.
The maximum
accumulator (parlay) win for any other
match is $10,000.
9. Wagers on
the first half of a soccer match include
45 minutes of play plus any stoppage
time added by the referee at the end
of the first half. If the first half
is not completed, wagers shall be void
and stakes returned.
Wagers on the
second half of a soccer match include
45 minutes of play plus any stoppage
time added by the referee at the end
of the second half. Extra periods, golden
goals, and shootouts are not included
in second half wagering. Goals scored
in the first half do not count toward
the second half wager.
Example: Suppose
AC Milan lead Juventus 1-0 at half time
and the odds on the second half are Juventus
-0.5. The -0.5 applies to the second
half of play only. Therefore Juventus
bettors win if Juventus scores more goals
in the second half than AC Milan scores
in the second half. AC Milan bettors
win if the teams score an equal number
of goals in the second half, or if AC
Milan scores more goals in the second
half than Juventus scores in the second
half.
The match must
reach full time for second half wagers
to stand.
10.
Bets on teams to qualify or to advance
to the next round of a competition:
Bets are paid
out on the referee’s final whistle
at the match’s natural conclusion,
whether the match is decided in regular
time, extra time, or in a penalty shootout.
Extra time and penalty shootouts are
always included for betting purposes.
In a one-leg
match all bets have action once the match
kicks off. If the referee abandons a
one-leg match (for reasons including,
but not limited to: crowd disturbances,
unplayability of the pitch, or one team
not having enough players to continue)
bets will be paid based on decisions
of the relevant governing body. Bets
will stand while the governing body considers
the circumstances of the abandonment
and determines what remedy is to be taken
(including, but no limited to: forfeiture,
resumption of play at a later time, or
a replay). If a team is disqualified
before the match kicks off, all bets
are void. If the rules prescribe a replay
for a drawn match, all bets stand for
the replay.
In a two-leg
match, all bets have action once the
second leg kicks off, provided that the
first leg has not been ruled a forfeit.
If the first leg is ruled a forfeit,
all bets on teams
‘to qualify’ or ‘to
advance’
are void. If the second leg is abandoned,
all bets remain valid and will be paid
based on decisions of the relevant governing
body.
11.
Live betting: All bets taken
while Live Betting is being offered
INCLUDE all goals already scored in
the match up to the point the bet is
struck and will be settled based on
the final score.
Example: Real
Madrid lead 2-0 and are currently offered
at -3. If Real Madrid win by 4 goals
or more, bettors backing Real Madrid
-3 win, and bettors backing the opposition
at +3 lose. If Real Madrid win by exactly
3 goals, all bets struck at Real Madrid
-3 or the opponents +3 are refunded.
If Real Madrid win the match by two goals,
or win by one goal, or do not win the
match, bettors backing Real Madrid -3
lose, and bettors backing the opposition
+3 win.
Unless otherwise
stated at the time of offer, bets on
live matches stand if and only if the
match reaches full time.
Most sportsbooks
cannot guarantee that odds will be offered
at any specific time during the match;
odds will not regularly be offered after
the 80th minute of play.
