Once the match has been set as void (with odd 1.00) the rest of the winning ticket will then be paid out. If a selection in a single bet is made void the stake will be returned. Void selections in multiple bets will be treated as non-runners and the stake will run onto the remaining selections in the bet.
19. 90-Minute Football Bets
What is meant by ’90-minute Betting’, ‘Full Time’ and ‘Normal Time’? Adult football matches are played over a 90-minute period, and this period can be called ’90-minutes’, ‘Full Time’ or ‘Normal Time’. All football bets, unless specifically stating they are for Outright, To Qualify, Extra Time or Penalties markets, will be settled on the result after Normal Time (90 minutes). During the game, the referee may stop the game for short periods for substitutions, or if a player gets injured, and at the end of each 45-minute half the referee adds however many minutes he feels is required to account for any of these stoppages. This additional time is called “Injury time”. Full Time and Normal Time are terms for the full 90-minute period, plus any ‘Injury Time’ that the referee chooses to add. Full Time and Normal Time DO NOT include Extra Time. Some matches may have a FT period of eighty (80) minutes or LESS as per e.g. FIFA regulations such matches include; U/16, U/17, Women Seniors etc.
20. Abandoned Matches
If a match is abandoned after it has commenced, all bets on that match will be made void except where settlement has already been determined. For example, where the first goal has been scored by a named player the First Goal scorer and Time of First Goal markets, amongst others, will stand.
21. Postponed/Re-Arranged Matches
A postponed match is void unless it is re-scheduled to commence within 24 hours of the original start time and this is confirmed within 12 hours of the original start time. In such circumstances where (a) void match(es) is/are included in an accumulator the bet will be settled on the remaining selections.
22. Prices Fluctuation
All prices are subject to fluctuation up to the kick-off. All football bets will be settled using Kwikbet website at the time the bet is placed.
23. Contingencies in Match
Where we offer various betting opportunities from the same match (e.g. correct score, first player to score etc.) these cannot be combined in accumulative bets where the outcome is related (except where special fixed prices are available).
Where an accumulative bet of this type has been accepted in error it will be settled by equally dividing the stake unit where the related outcomes clash.
24. Withholding Payment
We reserve the right to withhold payment and to declare bets on an event void if we have evidence that the following has occurred:
– the integrity of the event has been called into question
– the price(s) has been manipulated
– match rigging has taken place
Evidence of the above may be based on the size, volume or pattern of bets placed with us across any or all of our betting channels. A decision given by the relevant governing body of the sport in question (if any) will be conclusive. If any customer owes any money to Kwikbet for any reason, we have the right to take that into account before making any payments to that customer.
25. Results
In the case of Football and other Sports, bets are settled on the official result published by the relevant event managers or result handlers 3 to 24 hours after the match/event is finished. If the result is not immediately available from an official channel, then the result published by the official governing body immediately the match/event is finished will be used for settling purposes.
Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes. KWIKBET will settle all bets rapidly but because of time differences, for some events, bets may be settled overnight or with some delay.
