🧩 BASIC MATCH RULES

🕒 Official Soccer Match Times

For bets to be considered official, the match must be completed in full (90 minutes). The terms ‘full-time’, ‘90 minutes’ and ‘regulation time’ all refer to the period of play, including the 90 minutes of regulation play plus injury time, but excluding extra time and penalty shootouts.

🎯 Main Game

Unless otherwise stated, handicap, total or 3-way bets on any match that ends before the 90 minutes of play are completed will be void.

The exceptions to this rule apply to friendly matches, in which all match markets will be settled based on the actual result when the game ends (excluding extra time), regardless of whether the full 90 minutes are played.

🧩 First Half

Bets consider only the first 45 minutes of normal playing time plus injury time.

Unless otherwise stated, handicap, total or 3-way bets on any first half that ends before the 45 minutes of play are completed will be void, unless otherwise stated.

🧩 Second Half

Bets consider only the last 45 minutes of normal playing time plus injury time, but do not include extra time (added time) or penalty shootouts.

Unless otherwise stated, handicap, total or 3-way bets on any second half that ends before the 45 minutes of play are completed will be void.

⏰ Extra Time Periods

Extra time includes both halves of 15 minutes of play plus injury time.

Handicap, total or 3-way bets on any extra time period that starts but is not completed will be void, unless otherwise stated.

🧩 VALIDATION, SUSPENSIONS AND FORMAT

⚖️ Settlement and Grading Rules

All markets, except those for halftime, first half, extra time and penalties, are considered for regulation time (90 minutes of regulation plus injury time; unless otherwise stated).

It may occur that a game is suspended before 90 minutes; during the same day or the following day, the official decision that determines whether the remaining minutes will be played or not will be announced, and accordingly, the game will be considered official and final for betting purposes.

Markets do not include extra time or penalties unless otherwise stated.

🛑 Suspended/Postponed Matches

In the case of soccer matches suspended before their completion, bets will have action only if they resume within 48 hours of the original start time. This will apply to matches postponed before kickoff, as well as matches that are stopped before the full 90 minutes have been played.

In the case of matches that have started and are suspended during play, the match must resume from the point where it was stopped within 48 hours of the original start time. If the league or governing body decides to restart the game completely from the beginning, bets will not have action.

All bets on matches in knockout or elimination tournaments will stand until completion, regardless of whether the event concludes on a specific day within tournament parameters.

📍 Change of Venue

If there is a change of venue in a soccer match (other than the visiting team’s ground), then bets already placed will stand as long as the home team remains assigned as such.

If the home and visiting teams for a listed match are reversed (for example, if the match is played at the original visiting team’s ground), then bets placed based on the original listing will be invalidated.

We will make efforts to identify on our website all matches played at a neutral venue. For matches played at a neutral venue (whether indicated on our site or not), bets will stand regardless of which team is listed as the home team.

⚠️ Soccer Matches Not Played As Listed

If an official match shows team/match details different from those shown on our website, bets will be void.

This includes, but is not limited to:

Discrepancies in age group (“Under 21” vs. “Under 23”)
Gender (“Women’s” vs “Men’s”)

In all other cases, bets will stand, including instances where we list a team name without specifying the term “XI” in the name.

⚠️ Non-Standard Formats

If a match is played in a non-standard format (i.e., 3 or 4 periods), all markets related to “Halftime” will be void.

In these cases, only bets for (Result, Total and Handicap) will have action. Proposition bets will not have action.

If a match is played in a format that does not complete 90 minutes, for example, two halves of 25 minutes, ALL bets will be cancelled, both for full match and halftime bets.

🏆 Team to Advance

Team to Advance will be available for matches played during knockout stages in a tournament.

This option is not limited to 90 minutes + injury time and includes extra time or penalty shootouts if necessary.

If a team is disqualified during or before completion of the knockout stage, bets will be refunded.

🧩 GENERAL PROP RULES

📘 General Soccer Proposition Rules

The General Prop Rules apply to all markets unless otherwise stated in the Specific Prop Rules.

If there is any inconsistency between the General Prop Rules and the Specific Prop Rules, the Specific Prop Rules will prevail.

🎯 Full-Game Propositions

Most full-game propositions are based only on the 90 minutes of regulation time plus injury time, unless otherwise stated.

Bets on any match that ends before the 90 minutes of play are completed will be void, unless otherwise stated; except for those bets whose outcome has already been determined at the moment the match ends.

The market must be fully determined for bets to be valid; for example, bets on ‘First Player to Score’ or ‘Time of the First Goal’ will be valid provided that a goal has been scored at the time the match ends.

🧩 First Half (Propositions)

Most first-half propositions are based only on the first 45 minutes of regulation time plus injury time, unless otherwise stated.

Bets on any first half that ends before the 45 minutes of play are completed will be void, unless otherwise stated; except for those bets whose outcome has already been determined at the moment the first half ends.

🧩 Second Half (Propositions)

Most second half propositions are based only on the final 45 minutes of regulation time plus injury time, unless otherwise stated.

Bets on any second half that ends before the completion of the 45 minutes of play will be void, unless otherwise stated; except for those bets whose outcome has already been determined at the time the second half ends.

⏰ Extra Time Periods (Propositions)

Most extra time propositions are based on two halves of 15 minutes of play plus injury time.

Unless otherwise stated, bets on any extra time period that ends before the full 30 minutes are completed will be void, except for those bets whose outcome has already been determined at the time the period ends.

🧩 DEAD HEAT

⚖️ Dead Heat Rule

This rule applies to markets such as:

Top scorer
Maximum assist
Least goals conceded
Any other markets whose payout must be defined under this rule

📌 Operation

In the event of a tie between multiple participants:

👉 The payout is calculated as follows:

(Stake + potential winnings)
÷ number of tied participants
– stake amount

📊 Example

Stake: $100
Odds: +300 → Winnings = $300

👉 Total: $400

Tie between 3 players:

👉 400 ÷ 3 = 133.33
👉 133.33 – 100 = 33.33

✅ Final payout: $33.33

🧩 CRITERIA AND RULES FOR BET SETTLEMENT (PLAYER STATISTICS)

📘 Introduction

In this article you will learn how player statistics bets are validated.

We explain which events are considered, how they are counted and under what criteria the results of each market are determined, so that you have full clarity when placing bets.

📊 Player Passes

Player pass markets are graded taking into account:

👉 The sum of successful passes completed + assists made by the player

📌 Important

Only successful and completed passes are considered
Incomplete or unsuccessful passes will not be taken into account for grading

👉 This applies to all player pass-related markets

✅ Successful Passes

A pass is considered successful when a player attempts to deliver the ball to a teammate, and it reaches its intended destination.

The following are NOT considered passes:

Corner kicks
Goal kicks (unless the player passes the ball directly and clearly to a teammate)
Free kicks
Throw-ins
Clearances
Crosses
Touches of the ball while a player is sprinting (touches made by the same player while advancing rapidly forward)

Headers, “flick-ons” and the use of the chest may be considered passes only if there is a CLEAR INTENTION to deliver the ball to a teammate.

A rushed clearance to take the ball away from the danger area is NOT a pass.

Nor is it considered a pass when the goalkeeper sends the ball to the other side of the field, into an area where a teammate COULD receive it.

The kickoff is considered a pass as long as it is played as such (as is usually the case).

Assists are NOT included in the count of successful passes.

❌ Failed Passes

A failed pass by the player who executes it is considered when:

A player does not deliver the ball to a teammate
When the pass goes out of play
When the pass allows the opponent to gain possession of the ball
Or any situation in which the ball does not have a clear teammate as its intended destination

A receiving error by the RECEIVER is considered when:

The receiver is distracted and loses track of the ball trajectory
The reception technique is defective
The receiver fails to reach the ball after altering or stopping movement

A pass is NOT considered incorrect when:

The ball is cleared and taken by an opponent
While a player is sprinting or covering distance, one of the touches of the ball becomes too long, is deflected or taken away

🔁 Ball Recovery

For a steal to be considered, in addition to taking the ball from an opponent, the player must have the intention to intercept a pass or dispossess the opponent.

Steals must result in possession of the ball or clearly repel an obvious goal-scoring situation.

Steals are ONLY achieved when a player wins the ball, controls it and clearly passes it to a teammate.

Clearances, goal kicks, goalkeeper clearances or any desperate long ball to remove the ball from the danger area are NOT CONSIDERED STEALS.

🛡️ Tackle

A tackle is awarded when a player successfully takes the ball from an opposing player and their team gains possession as a result (including situations where the ball goes out of play but in favor of the team that made the tackle).

🎯 Shot on Target

A shot on goal is considered when a player strikes the ball and it travels within the area defined by the goalposts and the crossbar.

Without being a goal and without hitting the posts or the crossbar.

It is also considered a shot on goal when the ball previously deflects or slightly rebounds off an opponent, teammate or referee and still travels toward the goal.

Under normal playing conditions, only the goalkeeper can stop a shot on goal to prevent it from being a goal.

If a defensive player blocks a shot that is clearly heading toward the goal with scoring potential, it will be considered a Shot Blocked by the defender and only a shot will be recorded for the attacking player.

🪵 Shots on the Woodwork

A shot on the woodwork is a shot made by an attacking player that directly hits one of the posts or the crossbar, without having previously touched the goalkeeper and without resulting in a goal.

It is also considered a shot on the post when the ball previously deflects or slightly rebounds off an opponent, teammate or referee without significantly changing its trajectory and ends up hitting one of the posts or the crossbar.

❌ Shot off Target

A shot off target is a shot taken by a player toward the goal, but that goes outside the limits of the Goal Line without hitting the goalkeeper, the posts or the crossbar, and is not a goal.

It is also considered a shot off target when the ball slightly deflects or rebounds off an opponent, teammate or referee without significantly changing its trajectory outside the Goal Line.

Regardless of its proximity to the goal, in this case the intention to direct the shot toward the goal is evaluated.

⚽ Goal

A goal is scored when the ball has completely crossed the Goal Line between the posts and below the crossbar, provided that the scoring team has not committed an infringement according to the Rules of the Game.

When possible, it should be indicated whether the goal was scored with the head or through an attacking play (with the feet or any other part of the body).

🎯 Assist

An assist is any pass that leaves a teammate in a clear and obvious goal-scoring opportunity, whether inside or outside the opposing team’s penalty area.

All goals in open play have an assist, unless the scorer has made movements to evade several opponents and has made a long run before scoring.

Own goals, directly taken free kicks, direct corner goals and penalties do not receive an assist.

Assists are not included in the count of successful passes; they are considered a separate statistic.

🎯 Free Kick Goal

A goal is scored when the ball has completely crossed the Goal Line between the posts and under the crossbar, provided that no infringement has been committed according to the Rules of the Game.

A Free Kick Goal is scored with a shot from a set piece, after the referee has sanctioned a foul that warrants it.

The goal is scored in the same play, and the player who takes the free kick is awarded the goal, and no assist is recorded.

🧍 Goal by Body Part

The following body parts are used as individual betting markets:

Right foot
Left foot
Head

The term ‘foot’ includes ankle, shin, knee, thigh or any other part of the leg.

🧤 Save

A goalkeeper stopping the ball to prevent it from crossing the goal line with any part of the body. This includes intentional attempts by opponents, as well as unintentional or poorly executed attempts by teammates (if the intervention is not perceived as simple ball collection).

A save that deflects the ball backward and would normally result in a corner for the opposing team will only be recognized as a save if match officials award the corner. If a goal kick is awarded, the goalkeeper will not be credited with a save.

If a more significant defensive action by a teammate prevents the ball from entering the goal after the goalkeeper’s intervention, it will be classified as a block for the defender in question. A save will not also be awarded.

🧩 MATCH EVENTS, INCIDENTS AND TIME

⚽ Own Goal

An own goal is scored when the ball has completely crossed the Goal Line between the posts and below the crossbar, provided that the scoring team has not committed an infringement according to the Rules of the Game.

An own goal is scored unintentionally by a defending player into their own goal and is credited to the opposing team.

An own goal is considered only when the ball was NOT heading toward the goal and, due to the deflection by the defending player, the ball changes its trajectory and goes into the goal.

If the ball was already heading toward the goal, even if it is touched by a defender, it is considered a goal from play and is credited to the attacking player who made the shot.

📌 Important for betting:

Own goals do not count for scorer markets
They do count for total goal markets
They are credited to the corresponding team

🎯 Penalty Goal

A penalty goal is scored by a player after the referee awards a direct free kick inside the penalty area.

It will be considered a goal once the ball has completely crossed the Goal Line between the posts and below the crossbar.

Penalty goals are also counted when a match must be decided, as a last resort, by a penalty shootout.

❌ Missed Penalty

A missed penalty is one that is not converted by a player after the referee awards a direct free kick inside the penalty area and the ball does not hit the posts or the crossbar, nor is it saved or cleared by the opposing goalkeeper. A penalty is considered missed when the taker strikes the ball and it completely crosses the goal line outside the posts or above the crossbar.

🧤 Saved Penalty

A saved penalty is one taken by a player after the referee awards a direct free kick inside the penalty area and the goalkeeper deflects or retains the ball without it resulting in a goal. A penalty is considered saved when the taker sends the ball toward goal and it is stopped or touched by the opposing goalkeeper.

🪵 Penalty off the Post

A penalty off the post is one that is taken by a player after the referee awards a direct free kick inside the penalty area and the ball hits the posts or the crossbar without resulting in a goal.

⚖️ Penalty Awarded for Foul Committed

It is recorded when the referee awards a penalty to a player after a foul is committed within the penalty area, in accordance with the Official FIFA Laws of the Game, except for handball fouls, which are recorded as Handball Penalty.

✋ Handball Penalty
