What happens to my bet if a football match is abandoned? If a match is cancelled, postponed, or abandoned, your bet will be void unless the event is played within 12 hours of the original start time. However, your bet will stand if: The outcome of your bet was already decided before the interruption. The event is rescheduled for logistical or broadcast reasons but remains within the same competition round and the fixture order is unchanged. The event did not have an officially confirmed start time when you placed your bet. For matches or events where the official governing body is not previously acknowledged (e.g., Club Friendlies), bets will be void unless at least 90% of the match has been completed. If the match is abandoned after the 90% mark, bets will be settled based on the score at that time.
