General betting rules, odds, and settlement principles

  • Eligibility to place bets
    • Only verified customers who are 18+ and located in Tanzania may place bets on any event available in the platform.
    • Certain events or markets may be restricted by legal or integrity requirements. You are responsible for placing bets only where allowed.
  • Accepting a bet
    • A bet is accepted once it appears in your betting history as confirmed.
    • Market availability, odds, and handicaps can change before acceptance. The final odds you see on the confirmation screen apply.
    • Minimum and maximum stake limits apply per market and event, as displayed at the bet slip and market rules.
  • Settlement and calculation
    • Results are settled based on official sources for the relevant event or sport.
    • Payouts are calculated using the accepted odds multiplied by the stake, adjusted for any rule specifics such as dead-heat or Asian handicap rules.
    • If a result is corrected by an official body shortly after the event, the company may adjust settlements where the rules provide for it.
  • Cancellations and voids
    • A bet may be void if an event is postponed, abandoned, or materially changed, according to market-specific rules published on the site.
    • Obvious error: if a manifest error in odds or market occurs, the bet may be settled at the correct odds or voided, in line with the published policy.
    • Cash Out, where available, settles a bet at the amount shown when you confirm the offer. Once confirmed, it cannot be reversed.
  • Restrictions
    • Limits on number of selections, payout caps, or market-specific rules may apply.
    • Bonus funds may have wagering conditions that affect how you place a bet or withdraw returns. Always read bonus terms before use.
