Sports Betting Rules

Sports Betting Rules

Iplfun provides the following rules to govern all sports betting activity conducted on its platform. By placing a bet you acknowledge and agree to these rules as the basis for settlement, refunds, and dispute resolution. The rules apply to prematch and in‑play (live) markets unless a market description states otherwise.

1. General Settlement Principles

• The outcome of a market is settled when a final official result is determined by the relevant governing body or organizer and published by the operator. Bets placed after the official outcome is announced may be voided.
• For events not completed, bets are settled in accordance with the official result or as otherwise described in the market terms. If an official decision arrives more than 48 hours after the event end, undecided bets may be treated as void unless the market description provides a different settlement instruction. Player specials are excluded from these time‑based rules.
• If a market has not been resolved by the end of regular play, settlement will reflect the result at the end of the normal duration of the event, unless the market description specifies inclusion of additional periods or penalties.
• In cases of overtime, penalties, or other deciders, settlements will reflect only those elements expressly included in the market description. Where a decider is not specified, the event result at the end of the declared period governs.
• In matches with multiple legs or stages, unsettled bets may be impacted by postponement, abandonment, or rescheduling. Markets related to a particular leg are void if that leg is not completed within the timeframe stated in the market description or as dictated by the competition rules.

2. Bet Acceptance, Cancellations, and Adjustments

• The operator reserves the right to refuse, restrict, or void bets at its sole discretion and without requiring a reason to the customer. If a bet is not accepted, the stake is refunded.
• Prior to event start, the operator may void or cancel part or all of a bet, including accepted bets, for reasons such as an evident error in event wording or odds, start time, customer attempts to circumvent limits, use of insider information, or other valid risk management concerns.
• After an event has started, the operator may void or cancel bets for valid reasons such as a palpable error, mispricing, or other material issues that compromise a fair settlement. The customer will be informed of any such action.
• In the event of a venue change, radical changes to event conditions, or other material changes to the event, the operator may cancel all bets or adjust settlement as appropriate.
• The operator may suspend, void, or settle bets following any suspected fraudulent activity, manipulation, or violation of applicable rules. Regulatory notification may be made where appropriate.
• In the event of a technical interruption during bet placement, the customer should log in again after service restoration to confirm bet acceptance; bets may be accepted or rejected in light of system status at the time of restoration.
• Where a VAR decision conflicts with on‑field officiating and affects the time of occurrence, bets placed between the incident and final decision may be void if the odds offered were affected; otherwise, settlements may stand for unaffected markets.
• Odds displayed to customers are subject to rounding rules: displayed odds use two decimal places; total odds are calculated to six decimals; winnings are paid to two decimal places. Any discrepancy is a product of rounding rules and does not indicate a flaw in settlement.
• The maximum period between bet settlement and any potential re‑settlement is 30 days from the date of initial settlement.

3. Event Status, Postponement, and Abandonment

• If a match is abandoned or not resumed, bets may be voided or settled according to the market terms. Where an event is resumed, bets may stand if resumed within the time window stated in the market description or by regulatory guidance.
• For events postponed or canceled after kickoff, markets that remain undecided may be voided if not resumed within 48 hours in local time; markets that have already determined results may stand.
• For two‑leg events, only markets relating to the leg that is postponed are void if the leg is not played within 48 hours; outrights and markets not dependent on the leg continue to apply as normal.
• In American and other specified leagues, if a game is not completed in a single day in local time, non‑decided bets may be void unless the schedule rules provide otherwise.

4. Outright Markets and Play‑or‑Pay

• Outright markets (short‑term and long‑term) are subject to a Play‑or‑Pay rule. Bets on participants may stand even if the listed participant is unable to participate, in which case the market settles as a loss. Head‑to‑head (H2H) markets are excluded from this rule and may be void if a listed participant does not participate.
• Markets tied to team or participant performance may be settled in line with the replacement participant if applicable; individual performance markets remain void in the event of participant replacement in a way that affects performance metrics.

5. Soccer and Futsal Specific Markets

• All match markets are based on the final result at the end of normal time, including added injury or stoppage time but excluding extra time, penalties, or golden goal unless the market description specifies otherwise. VAR decisions are incorporated into settlement.
• Halftime bets become void if the match is suspended or abandoned before halftime is completed and cannot be resumed within the stated window; otherwise halftime and full‑time results are settled according to the official scoreline at the relevant times.
• First Goalscorer and Anytime Goalscorer: own goals are disregarded for First Goalscorer; if a listed player does not participate, bets are void. For Anytime Goalscorer, a goal by any listed player active in the match at kickoff will count; if a listed player does not participate, bets on that player are void.
• Yellow and Red cards: a yellow card counts as one card, a red card or yellow followed by red counts as two cards for the purposes of card markets. A player cannot incur more than three cards in a given match for card counting purposes.
• In penalty and corner markets, decisions are based on official match statistics as published by the relevant league body; goals and penalties scored after regular time are included only when covered by the market terms.
• In events with nonstandard formats or scheduling (such as 3x30 minutes or 2x40 minutes), settlement follows the format described in the market terms; bets on markets outside the supported formats may be voided.

6. Player Markets and Game Events

• Player markets include First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, and Anytime Goalscorer. All players who participated from kickoff are runners; if a listed player enters after the first goal has occurred, bets on that player may be voided unless the market rules specify otherwise.
• In the event of a dead heat, the stake is apportioned proportionally among winners. Dead heat rules apply unless the market itself specifies otherwise, such as markets offering a draw or tie in which case standard dead heat treatment does not apply.

7. Baseball and Major League Rules

• Moneyline or Winner markets are considered settled when the official result is declared by the league authorities. For baseball, Moneyline is considered decided if at least five innings are completed or if four and a half innings have been completed with the home team ahead. Otherwise, Moneyline bets are void. Totals and other markets settle according to nine completed innings, or eight and a half innings with the home team ahead; otherwise void unless otherwise specified.
• Mercy rules apply; if enacted, bets stand for the score at the time the rule is invoked. Pitcher lines (PL) and the listed starting pitcher are subject to change; bets on PL markets will reference the indicated pitcher and may be void if a listed starter changes. Action lines may be used when the list is not visible; settlement follows the actual event outcome.
• In seven‑inning games, markets remain valid if seven innings have completed or six and a half innings have completed with the home team ahead; Moneyline behaves as described above for standard games.

8. Horse Racing Rules

• Bets on standard racing markets are settled on a double result basis unless the market terms specify otherwise. Ante‑post bets are settled at the price and place terms applicable at acceptance.
• The official result governs settlement, including weigh‑in adjustments; if a weigh‑in or stewards inquiry alters the result, concessions apply to settle in a manner favorable to the customer where permitted.
• Double Result concessions extend to situations where a horse finishes first past the post but is later promoted to a higher placing as a result of a steward inquiry; settlement reflects the official result as weighed in, where applicable.

9. General and Dispute Resolution

• The operator reserves the right to correct any errors in pricing or market description. Bets placed on markets with incorrect or missing information may be voided, and the operator may void or adjust settlements as necessary to reflect accurate outcomes.
• In the absence of an official source, the operator may rely on internal statistics to determine settlement, provided such practice is consistently applied and documented in the market terms.
• Any changes to these rules will be communicated in a timely manner and apply to bets placed after the change becomes effective. The operator reserves the right to cooperate with regulators and reporting bodies as required by law and licensing conditions.

10. Practical Notes

• All bets are subject to the customer’s agreement to these rules as part of account terms and conditions. Customers should review market descriptions for any market‑specific rules that may modify the standard settlements described above.
• Customers must be aware of potential changes to formats, schedules, and event rules, which may affect settlement. The operator will provide notice of material changes where feasible.
