What Happens If My Match Is Postponed or Cancelled?

If a match you placed a bet on is postponed, abandoned, or cancelled, the outcome depends on how long it takes for the match to resume.

✅ If the match is resumed within 72 hours:

Your bet will stand and be settled as usual.

❌ If the match is not resumed within 72 hours:

Your bet will be voided, and your stake will be refunded. This applies to most standard markets unless stated otherwise in the specific market rules.

🟡 Special cases:

  • Abandoned during play: If a match starts but is later abandoned and not resumed within 72 hours, most bets will be voided. However, bets on markets that have already been decided (e.g. First Team to Score) may still stand.

  • Event location changes: If the match is moved to a neutral venue, bets usually stand. If moved to the opponent’s home ground, bets may be voided.

Always check the individual market rules for exceptions.
