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 cancelled/abandoned | 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 bonus conditions (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

The platform revises the rate manually
Official sources are used (defined in the rules)
Review period: up to 72 hours
