FOOTBALL (SOCCER)
Football is the most wagered sport in the world. The rules below apply to all football leagues and competitions available on Bettorian, including, Champions League, FIFA World Cup, etc.
Settlement and Cancellation Rules
• All markets (except halftime, first half markets, overtime, and penalty shootout) apply to regular time only, unless otherwise stated.
• Regular Time (90 minutes): markets are based on the result at the end of a scheduled 90 minutes of play. This includes any added injury or stoppage time but does not include extra time, time allocated for a penalty shootout, or a golden goal.
• Extra Time and Penalties: NOT included in standard markets, unless the market explicitly states ‘Including Extra Time/Penalties’.
• If a match is interrupted and continued within 48 hours of the initial kick-off time, all open bets will be settled with the final result. Otherwise, all undecided bets are void.
• If the market remains open when the following events have already taken place — goals, red or yellow-red cards, or penalties — we reserve the right to void betting.
• If the market was opened with a missing or incorrect red card, we reserve the right to void betting.
• If odds were offered with an incorrect match time of more than 5 minutes, we reserve the right to void betting.
• If a wrong score is entered, all markets will be cancelled for the period during which the incorrect score was displayed.
• If the team names or category are displayed incorrectly, we reserve the right to void betting.
• In any VAR situation that results in a score, card, corner, or penalty-related change, we reserve the right to void betting on affected markets.
• Change of venue: if home and away designations are reversed, bets remain valid.
• Own goals: count as a goal for the team that benefits; they are not attributed to the player who scored against themselves.
Booking Markets
• A yellow card counts as 1 card (10 booking points). A red or yellow-red card counts as 2 cards (25 booking points).
• The second yellow card for a player that leads to a yellow-red card is not counted separately. Consequently, one player cannot cause more than 3 cards or 35 booking points. This maximum applies regardless of whether the player receives two yellows followed by a red card.
• Settlement is made according to all available evidence of cards shown during regular 90-minute play. Cards shown after the final whistle are not considered.
• Cards shown to non-players (already substituted players, managers, or players on the bench) are not considered.
• The following bookings do not count for settlement purposes under any circumstances:
• Cards issued to a player after they have been substituted off.
• Cards issued to a substitute before they have entered the field of play.
• Cards issued to coaching staff or other non-playing personnel.
• Cards issued after the referee has blown the final whistle to end the match.
Corner Markets
• Corners awarded but not taken are not considered for settlement purposes.
Interval Markets
• Markets are settled based on the goal time announced by TV broadcast. If unavailable, the match clock time is used.
• Goal markets are settled based on the time the ball crosses the line, not the time the kick is made.
• Corner interval markets are settled based on the time the corner kick is taken, not the time it is conceded or awarded.
• Booking interval markets are settled based on the time the card is shown, not the time of the infringement.
• Offside markets are settled based on the time the referee gives the decision. This applies to any VAR situation.
• Penalty markets are settled based on the time the referee gives the decision. This applies to any VAR situation.
• Penalties awarded but not taken are not considered.
• For all 5-minute and 15-minute interval markets relating to interval windows 41–45 and 31–45, events (goals, corners) occurring in added injury or stoppage time are accounted for within those respective interval windows.
Next Goalscorer
• Own goals are not considered for Next Goalscorer settlement and are ignored.
• All players who took part in the match since kick-off or since the previous goal are considered as active runners.
• All players currently taking part in the match are listed.
• If an unlisted player scores a goal, all bets on listed players stand.
• Markets are settled based on TV broadcast information and official statistics unless there is clear evidence that these statistics are incorrect.
Anytime Goalscorer & Player to Score X or More

Next Scoring Type
