Compliance and governing framework
- These terms operate alongside applicable laws and regulatory requirements. Users in India must follow their local legal restrictions.
- If any term is held invalid under local law, the remaining terms continue in full force.
General Betting Rules
These rules apply to all bets. Specific sports or event rules may add conditions; where conflicts arise, the more specific rule applies.
Eligibility to place a bet
- Only verified account holders who are at least 18 and legally allowed to bet in their state may place bets.
- Parimatch may refuse bets from prohibited jurisdictions or where legal restrictions apply.
Bet acceptance and settlement
- A bet is accepted only after it is registered on the server and a confirmation appears in your account bet history.
- If a technical error prevents confirmation, the bet is not accepted.
- Settlement is based on the official result declared by the relevant governing body of the event. Later corrections do not normally affect settlement.
Odds, minimums, and maximums
- Odds shown at the time of confirmation apply to the bet. If an evident pricing error or palpable error occurs, the bet may be voided or settled at the correct odds.
- Minimum and maximum stake limits depend on the market and your account status. Current limits are shown on the bet slip before confirmation.
Calculation of wins and losses
- Returns are calculated as stake multiplied by odds for winning selections, subject to any applicable rules for each market.
- For multi-bets, any void leg is typically settled at odds of 1.00, and the bet continues on remaining legs.
Restrictions and suspensions
- Markets may be suspended or removed at any time, including during live betting, due to integrity risks, technical issues, or regulatory reasons.
- Parimatch may impose limits on certain events, users, or strategies to manage risk or comply with legal obligations.
Cancellations and voids
- If an event is postponed or abandoned and not completed within the period defined in the market rules, related bets may be void.
- Bets placed after the known outcome or after a material advantage occurs are void.
- In the case of system failure or manifest error, affected bets may be cancelled and stakes returned.
Bonuses and promotional bets
- Bonus funds are subject to specific wagering requirements and expiry rules displayed in your account.
- Where a bonus bet is used, returns may exclude the stake portion if stated in the offer terms.
