Full time – Normal time

Most of the pre match betting or live betting results are based on action during the 90 minutes of play. Those 90 minutes are called ‘Normal time’. Normal time or full time excludes extra time, shoot-outs and golden goals.

What if Match is postponed

There is a possibility that match can be postponed and that can affect outcome of the placed bets.

In this case, if bettor placed bets on a match that is postponed and played within 24h local time, than bet stands. But if match is postponed and rescheduled after that 24h time frame, than bet should be canceled and money should be returned to a bettor. If we are talking about multi-bets, than that postponed event will be ‘removed’ from ticket and remaining bet events will stand as valid.

Abandoned Match

If match is abandoned before the end of normal – full time and resumed and completed in 24 hours, every bet stands. But, if match is not completed within 24 hours, single bets should be cancelled and money returned to bettor. For multi-bets, game should be removed – void and remaining selections stands as valid. If match is abandoned and bets are already decided, than those bets are valid. For example, if bet is about first half and match is abandoned after first half.
