Sports Rules

General Rules and Market Settlement

• The operator, Vc55, determines settlement in accordance with official or widely recognized results. Bets may be voided or settled differently if the outcome is published after a market is opened or if the final result is declared by an official source beyond the event’s natural conclusion. Player specials are excluded from certain voiding or adjustment provisions.
• If a match is not completed and is decided by the official source or referee, bets placed after the publication of the outcome may be voided or settled in line with the final official result. If an official announcement occurs more than 48 hours after the event’s end and undecided bets have already been treated as void, settlement shall stand as published.
• Where a market is not determined earlier in play, settlement occurs after the normal duration of the event unless the market description on the platform states otherwise. For football, a market may be treated as decided after the standard 90 minutes including added time, with overtime or penalties only counted if the market expressly states inclusion of such periods.
• Vc55 reserves the right to void or refund bets if a market is subject to a change in the event’s venue, or if there are radical changes to the event parameters such as length of play or distance/speed of a race.
• Vc55 may suspend or void bets if there is suspicion of fraud or manipulation. Where relevant, information may be reported to regulatory or integrity bodies, and settlement will follow the outcome of those inquiries.
• In the event of a technical interruption during bet placement, the system will be checked for funds availability and price accuracy. Customers may need to recheck their bets in their betting history once service resumes to confirm acceptance.
• Decisions by video review tools that conflict with on-field decisions, or that alter the state of play during the bet window, may void bets placed in the affected interval unless the odds offered were unaffected by the review. Bets not influenced by the review remain valid.
• Odds displayed on-screen are shown with two decimals; total odds are calculated using a sixth decimal place, while the total winning amount is truncated to two decimals. Any discrepancy is explained by these rounding rules.
• The maximum period between the initial settlement of a betslip and any re-settlement is 30 days.
• If a match concludes after the 79th minute, markets are settled on the full-time result. If the match ends before 79:00, undecided markets may be voided. Debris or interruptions resulting in abandonment or stoppage may lead to voids for undecided markets unless a later resumption within 48 hours confirms the original result.
• Supported prematch and live formats for events are limited to 2x25, 2x30, 2x35, 2x40, 2x45, or 3x30 segments. Markets for matches outside the 50 to 90 minute window are voided. For 3x30 formats, halftime duration is calculated as half of total duration. Customers accept that unexpected format changes are at their risk and are incorporated in the registration acceptance.
• Outright markets (short-term and long-term outrights) are subject to a play-or-pay rule: bets on listed participants stand regardless of participation, with head-to-head markets excluded from this rule. If a participant is replaced within the same team, team-based markets stand, while individual markets may be voided.

Bet Types and Settlement Mechanics

• Single bets: a wager on the result of a single event, with winnings calculated as stake multiplied by the odds for that event.
• Combination (accumulator) bets: multiple selections are combined into one bet. All selections must win for a payout; the total odds are the product of the individual odds, applied to the stake.
• System bets: a bet structure where not all selections must win for a payout. Each component is settled separately, and a partial win may occur even if some legs lose. The overall payout depends on the specific system drawn (e.g., a 2/3 system may succeed with two correct picks).
• Banker bets: a component of a system bet that must succeed for the system to win; if the banker leg fails, the entire system bet may fail.
• Jackpot bets: settled as a regular bet on a fixed fixture; outcomes are determined strictly by the event result.

Outrights, Live Markets, and Integrity

• Outright markets are subject to play-or-pay. If a listed participant cannot participate for any reason, the market generally stands as lost for the participant, and related markets reflect that outcome. If any listed participant is replaced by another participant from the same team, team-based markets remain valid; individual performer markets may be voided.
• All markets are settled according to official data and statistics when such data are available. In the absence of official sources, settlement may be based on the operator’s own verified statistics.
• In cases of dead heat, stake distribution follows proportional allocation to the number of winners. Where a market is a three-way dead heat, one-third of the stake is treated as a winner and two-thirds as losers.

Soccer Settlement Rules

• All match markets are based on the result at the end of normal time, including injury time and stoppages, but excluding extra time or a penalty shootout unless the market specifies inclusion of such periods.
• VAR decisions that affect the outcome within the bet window render bets void where the final outcome differs from the on-field determination, except where the market is unaffected by VAR or has already implied the final state. For the purposes of settlement, a VAR review is treated as though it occurred at the time of the original incident unless otherwise stated.
• Goalscorer markets (First/Last/Anytime) apply to field players who take part in match play. Own goals are excluded from First Goalscorer considerations and are ignored for Anytime/First goalscorer if the player did not participate in the match; if a match is abandoned after a scorer has occurred, First Goalscorer bets may be voided while Anytime goalscorer bets may stand for scorers who participated.
• Yellow and red card markets are settled on the official carding events during regular time. Card counts do not include events after full-time or non-player personnel.
• In cases where a match schedule uses non-standard timings (e.g., 90 minutes as three 30-minute segments), settlement follows the described format, with halftime and full-time status determined accordingly. If a match is postponed or canceled and not resumed within 48 hours, unsettled markets are void unless a market has been unconditionally determined.

Live and Prematch Formats, and Market Integrity

• Live and prematch markets conform to the same fundamental settlement principles. If a venue change occurs, or broadcasting or timing anomalies arise, bets may be voided or settled according to the revised official result.
• Odds display uses standardized rounding: screen odds are shown with two decimals; total odds are calculated with a sixth decimal, and total winnings are truncated to two decimals. Any apparent discrepancy is due to these rules.
• Should a race or sports event contain non-standard segments, the platform will declare markets void if the format falls outside the accepted windows and cannot be reconciled with official data.

Dispute Resolution, Corrections, and Compliance

• Vc55 reserves the right to correct erroneous settlements or to void markets where a clear error in pricing or event details is evident, including palpable mistakes in event wording or kickoff times.
• If a match is interrupted or delayed and the event is not resumed within 48 hours, unsettled bets on players or markets affected by the interruption may be voided unless the result of the market has already been deterministically established.
• Vc55 may suspend or void bets to protect the integrity of the wagering environment and will cooperate with regulators and integrity bodies as required by applicable law.
