    • Market-specific rules, bonus rules, sport rules, and house betting rules form part of these general terms. In the event of a conflict, specific rules for the market or event take precedence.

General Betting Rules

  • Eligibility to place bets:
    • Only verified users who meet the legal age and state-law requirements may place bets.
    • You must have sufficient cleared balance in INR to place a bet.
  • Bet acceptance and confirmation:
    • A bet is accepted only after it appears in your betting history with a unique reference and status “accepted” or equivalent.
    • If system failure occurs before confirmation, the bet may be treated as not placed.
    • Pre-match bets placed after the official start time are void, unless placed in live markets.
  • Odds, settlement, and calculations:
    • Odds are subject to change until acceptance. Accepted bets are settled at the odds shown at acceptance time.
    • Results are settled based on official sources or governing bodies for the event. If official data conflicts with live streams or third-party feeds, the official result prevails.
    • Dead-heat rules apply where more than one participant ties for a placing. Voided selections in a multi-bet are settled at odds of 1.00, and the rest of the bet stands.
  • Minimum and maximum stakes:
    • Minimum and maximum bet amounts are displayed on the bet slip or market and may vary by event, market, or account status.
    • We may set exposure limits per event or per account for risk and compliance reasons.
  • Cancellations and palpable errors:
    • Once accepted, a bet cannot be cancelled by the user.
    • We may void or adjust settlement where an obvious error occurs, including material mistakes in odds, market listing, or event status.
    • Bets may be void if an event is abandoned, postponed, or relocated, subject to market-specific rules.
  • Betting restrictions:
    • We may restrict bets or markets due to legal, integrity, or responsible betting considerations.
    • Use of bonuses may require minimum odds, market types, or wagering before withdrawal. Read each bonus rule carefully.
  • Dispute handling:
    • If you dispute settlement for a bet, submit the ticket reference and event details through support within a reasonable time. We will review official data logs and apply the relevant rules.

Payment Rules

    • Supported options for India include UPI, bank transfer such as IMPS/NEFT, cards, and select e-wallets. Availability may vary by state and provider.
    • Minimum and maximum limits, as well as any fees, are shown at the cashier before you confirm a transaction.
