Transparent and clear rules for calculating bets are the basis of trust between the player and the platform. The conditions should be clear, uniform for all and applied automatically or manually based on official data. In addition, the platform is required to have a dispute resolution mechanism if the player considers the calculation incorrect.
Basic principles for calculating rates
| Principle | Explanation |
|---|---|
| According to the results of official sources | The result is taken from the sites of leagues, federations, Sportradar, etc. |
| Rates are calculated after completion of the event | Live bets - at the end of the outcome, Prematch - after the final whistle |
| If the match is canceled/interrupted | The rate is returned or calculated according to separate rules |
| The bid is invalid with an erroneous cap | Cancelable with apparent technical error |
| Rates from freebets/bonuses | Calculated taking into account the conditions of the bonus (sometimes - without taking into account the amount of the freebet) |
Controversial situations: examples
Different interpretation of the outcome: for example, a yellow card issued after the final whistle
Change in result after the match: technical defeat, recalculation of points
Different data from sources: differences in statistics (corners, strikes, possession)
Technical glitch: Bid not accepted or calculated incorrectly
How disputes are resolved
Player submits bid via ticket/mail/form with bet ID- The platform revises the rate manually
- Official sources are used (defined in the rules)
- Review period: up to 72 hours
- Consultation with data provider if necessary
- The total is recorded and displayed in the player's betting history
Recommendations to players
Always check the rules before placing a bid- Take screenshots when errors or crashes
- Consider delays in settlements for live events
- Use only the official support channel for disputes
- Review common platform rules - they take precedence
Advantages of a transparent system
Increased trust from players- Reduce support and manual review
- Standardized Conflict Management
- License and Regulatory Compliance
- Sustainable relationship between platform and audience
The rules for calculating rates and the dispute resolution procedure are the legal and reputational foundation of the betting platform. The more clearly defined the conditions and faster controversial situations are processed, the higher the trust and loyalty of the players.
