Scope and Definitions

These Betting Rules apply to all wagers placed with Playtime. In this document, a bet is an agreement between the player and Playtime to stake funds on a selected outcome. A market is a particular outcome offered within an event. Outright markets refer to season-long or tournament-long results. Live bets are wagers placed on events in progress. The company reserves the right to interpret and update these rules as required by regulatory obligations or risk management practices.

General Settlement Principles

  • Outcomes are settled based on the official result published by the relevant governing body or official source. Where an official announcement determines the result after the event has concluded, bets placed following the announcement may be voided or settled in accordance with the announcement.
  • Bets on markets that are not determined by the conclusion of normal playing time may be settled at the specified market description. Markets that reference overtime, penalties, or other deciders will only be paid as stated in the market terms.
  • Events not started or postponed may be retained as open and bets remain valid if the kickoff occurs within 48 hours of the originally scheduled start time. If the event is not resumed within 48 hours, the company may void or settle bets as described in the market terms.
  • Markets relating to qualifications or longer competitions may be void if the event is postponed or abandoned and not rescheduled within 48 hours. In multi-leg events, the applicable markets are void only to the extent they are tied to the postponed legs.
  • The company may void bets or refund stakes for palpably incorrect odds, misprints, or other material errors and may suspend or void the entire event in cases of fraud, manipulation, or systemic issues.

Odds, Settlement Timings and Rounding

  • Odds displayed on screen are reduced to two decimal places for user display. Total odds calculations use a sixth decimal for internal purposes, and total winnings are truncated to two decimal places. Any discrepancy is a result of the rounding methodology used.
  • The maximum period between bet settlement and potential re-settlement is 30 days, after which corrections are generally not issued unless required by regulatory or prudent risk-management processes.

Event Status, Postponement and Abandonment

  • If a match is suspended, canceled, or not completed within the specified timeframe, bets are treated as void or as hit exceptions unless the result becomes clear from official sources within the indicated windows.
  • Any event that is postponed or abandoned will be settled according to the rules stated for the market, and if rescheduled, bets may be voided or settled based on the rescheduled outcome. For events with alternative formats or unusual playing times, the company may regard certain markets as void if durations fall outside standard ranges.
  • For sports where the result is determined at a later point (such as certain baseball or basketball formats), additional criteria may apply to decide when a market is deemed settled. In all cases, non-decided bets are generally void unless the market terms specify otherwise.

Live Betting Rules

  • Live bets are accepted during events and cover only outcomes with undetermined results at the time of placement. Live odds update in real time to reflect the progressing event.
  • Settlement of Live bets follows the official results immediately after the event concludes or when a market is definitively determined. Live bets on non-competing athletes are typically void.
  • Claims for Live bets must be submitted within 24 hours of the start of the event. If a match is abandoned or not finished within 48 hours of starting, bets on unresolved outcomes are typically refunded at odds of 1.0 unless stated otherwise in market terms.

Outright and Special Markets

  • Outright markets cover participants or teams across a competition and may be subject to a play-or-pay rule. Under this rule, a participant who is unable to take part in the competition will still be treated as a loss for the purpose of the outright market unless the market terms specify otherwise. In head-to-head markets, if a listed participant does not participate, related markets may be void unless otherwise stated.
  • To Qualify markets, Top N markets, and similar categories are settled based on final competition results. If a participant is replaced by another participant within the same team, team-level markets may stand while individual market entries may be void.

Bet Types and Payout Mechanics

  • Definitions: A single bet is placed on a single outcome. A multiple bet combines several unrelated outcomes; all selections must win for the accumulator to pay. A system bet comprises multiple related bets of equal size; payouts for each constituent bet are paid separately. A conditional bet links bets in a chain where only the main part is paid if successful; subsequent parts are funded from winnings and may be excluded if the main part fails.
  • It is prohibited to include events from the same match in multiple or system bets. If such eligibility rules are violated, the bet may be refunded or blocked.
  • Bets placed on events where the result is already known at bet acceptance are treated as void and the stake returned. Live bets placed after an event has started may be settled at odds of 1.0 in some cases, as described in the market terms.

Market Codes and Common Bets

  • Standard result bets are typically presented as Team 1 to Win, Draw, or Team 2 to Win, expressed as 1, X, and 2 respectively. Combined market codes include 1X (Team 1 to win or draw), 12 (either team to win, no draw), and X2 (Team 2 to win or draw).
  • Other common markets include Handicap, Total Goals, Correct Score, Halftime/Fulltime, and Both Teams to Score. The specific definitions and payout structures are set by the company and may be adjusted for event-specific terms.

Account Eligibility and Compliance

  • Playtime may restrict or block access to accounts where suspicious activity is detected, or where automated betting patterns are identified. Eligibility requires compliance with applicable age restrictions and regulatory requirements.
  • Users acknowledge responsibility for their bets and for ensuring the accuracy of bet details. Bets cannot be altered or canceled once accepted, except as permitted by these Rules or pursuant to a formal corrective process.
  • The company may suspend, restrict, or close accounts for violations of the Rules, or for other risk-management reasons, without prior notice.

Dispute Resolution and Customer Support

In case of disputes or suspected settlement errors, players may request review within 30 days of the event end. All decisions on disputes are final unless required to be reconsidered by a competent authority. For any questions about these Rules or a specific bet, players should contact Playtime customer support through the official channels described in the account dashboard.
