General Betting Rules
- Who may place bets
- Only eligible users who completed registration and verification may place bets. Users in Japan must be 20 or older and may bet only where such activity is allowed.
- Bet acceptance and settlement
- A bet is accepted when a ticket ID appears in your account history. Pending or failed transactions are not valid bets.
- Markets are settled on the official result of the relevant event, as recognized by the governing body at the time of settlement. Later changes to results do not normally affect settlement.
- Odds, stakes, and limits

- Minimum and maximum stakes, as well as payout caps, are displayed on each market and may vary by event. Some markets or bets may be restricted for risk control.

- Returns are calculated as stake multiplied by the accepted odds, adjusted for any rule applicable to the market (for example, dead heat rules). Losses are limited to the stake on the bet.
- Voids, cancellations, and errors
- If an event is postponed, abandoned, or canceled, bets may be void unless specific market rules state otherwise.
- If a palpable error occurs in odds, market, or settlement, we may correct the error and resettle or void the bet.

- Time-out: take a short break from your account.
- Self-exclusion: block access for a defined period or indefinitely. During exclusion, no new bets, bonuses, or deposits are permitted.
