Football - Abandoned or Postponed Match Rules

What happens to accumulators?

If you've had an accumulator containing a postponed/abandoned match - including enhanced accumulators or the Soccer Saturday Price Boost - the bet will become the next bet down, i.e. a Treble becomes a Double etc. We cannot cancel or change bets containing postponed selections.

However, In-Play Enhanced Accumulators, in instances where one selection doesn't take part (e.g. If a match is voided due to abandonment or postponement) are settled as void, as long as none of the other selections lose. If one of the other selections loses then the bet will be settled as a loser.

For details of what occurs if a match is abandoned or postponed, please consult the rules below.

How does a postponement/abandonment affect my accumulator bet when Acca Freeze has been applied?

What happens if a leg is abandoned/postponed?

If you freeze a leg and that game is then abandoned; your freeze will stand.

What happens if I've frozen a leg in my bet and another game is abandoned?

The bet will be settled with the remaining legs including frozen legs.

What happens if I haven't frozen a leg in my bet yet but a game is abandoned?

If this causes you to have less than 5 legs left in your bet, you won't be able to freeze a remaining leg.

What happens if I haven't frozen a leg in my bet yet but a game is postponed?

If this causes you to have less than 5 legs left in your bet, you won't be able to freeze a remaining leg.

Postponed Matches

If any match is postponed and rescheduled we will take the following action:

All Matches

If the match is confirmed to take place within the current or following 3 days of the original local event kick-off date, all bets on the match will stand, unless confirmation of the rescheduled start time is not received within 3 hours of the original kick-off, single bets will be void and multiple bets will be settled on the remaining selections.
Please note that games which have their kick-off altered prior to the kick-off time will not be classed as postponed.
Should the rescheduled time be outside of the following three days, undetermined bets will be void regardless of the announcement coming within 3 hours or not.
If the venue of a match is other than what is indicated on our website, the bet will stand provided the match has not been switched to the opponent's ground, in which case the match will be declared void. Notwithstanding this rule, in major international tournaments (e.g., World Cup, European Championships), all venues will be deemed neutral. If the scheduled venue of a match is changed, including if the venue changes to a new venue in a different country, all bets will stand.

Abandoned Matches

If a match is abandoned after it has already kicked off, any bets where the outcome has already been decided will stand. All other selections will be made void.
If it is announced within 3 hours of kick off that the game is due to restart within 3 days of the initial abandonment, all bets will stand. Undetermined bets will be void if no information is received within 3 hours of the initial abandonment.
Games where a referee removes the players from the field of play for a temporary period but resumes the remaining minutes of play by midnight local event time will not be deemed as abandoned and all bets will stand.

Forfeits and Walkovers

If a match is forfeited or a team is given a walkover victory without the match having kicked off, then all bets will be void. Any subsequently awarded scoreline will not count for settlement purposes.
If a match is forfeited or a team is given a walkover victory after the match has kicked off then settlement will occur in line with our abandonment rules. Any subsequently awarded scoreline will not count for settlement purposes.
