What is Bet Settlement and a Void Bet?

Definition: Bet settlement is the process of grading bets as won, lost or void once the result is known, and updating player balances. A void bet is cancelled and the stake is returned.

How settlement works:

  • The official result arrives through the data feed.
  • The platform grades each bet on the affected markets.
  • Winnings are credited to the player wallet automatically.
  • Disputed or unclear results go to manual review.

Common reasons for a void bet:

  • The event is cancelled, abandoned or postponed beyond the time set in the rules.
  • An obvious pricing error.
  • A whole-line market where the result lands exactly on the line.

In accumulators: under standard sportsbook rules a void selection is counted at odds of 1.00 and the rest of the bet stands.
