General Betting Rules
- Who may place bets
- Only verified users aged 18+ located in Ireland may place a bet.
- You must have sufficient cleared funds in your account and meet any bonus conditions that apply to the bet.
- Bet acceptance and settlement
- A bet is accepted when it receives an ID in your bet history; the betslip display alone does not guarantee acceptance.
- Bets are settled using the official result of the event or, if unavailable, the most reliable public source used by the trading team.
- Markets may be suspended or voided if an event is postponed, abandoned, or materially changed.
- Odds, stakes, and limits
- Odds are subject to change until acceptance; the platform may offer automatic acceptance of price changes where you opt in.
- Minimum and maximum stakes, payout caps, and market limits vary by event and are shown in the betslip and rules for each market.
- The operator may limit, refuse, or partially accept bets for trading, integrity, or legal reasons.
- Calculation of returns
- Single bet returns equal stake multiplied by the odds; for multiples, product of the component odds applies.
- Void selections in multiples settle at odds of 1.00; dead-heat rules apply by dividing the stake among tied selections.
- For handicap and totals markets, settlement follows the stated line at acceptance.
- Cancellations, palpable errors, and late bets
- Bets placed after the known outcome or after an event has started (where in-play is not offered) are void.
- If a palpable error occurs in odds, market, or settlement, the operator may void the bet or settle at the correct odds that were intended at the time.
- Duplicate bets, technical faults, or integrity concerns may lead to voiding and investigation.
- Restrictions and betting conduct
- Betting patterns that indicate arbitrage, syndicate activity, or misuse of bonuses may result in stake limits, suspension, or voiding where justified.
- Cash Out, if available, is offered at the operator’s discretion and may be unavailable during market suspension or for certain events.
- Bonuses and free bets
- Free bet stakes are not returned in winnings unless stated otherwise.
