Betting Rules

1. General Betting Rules

Goawin offers sports, events and related markets under these terms. All bets are subject to the provisions set forth below, and Goawin reserves the right to interpret and amend them as required. By placing a bet, the customer agrees to be bound by these rules and any further terms published by Goawin.

• Settlement is based on the official result published by the relevant governing body. If the official result is not published, Goawin may settle using reliable alternative sources at its discretion.
• Goawin may delay bet settlement while verification or data validation is ongoing; settlement will occur once confirmation is published, or the official result is clear.
• Bets placed at prices that are later shown to be incorrect or inconsistent with the event data may be voided. Goawin reserves the right to void affected bets and withhold settlement if a pricing error is identified.
• Bets cannot be cancelled or changed once placed and confirmed, except as expressly allowed by these rules or applicable laws.
• Goawin may void bets where there is fraud, irregular activity, or circumvention of the rules, including attempts to exploit a defect in pricing or market structure.
• In the event of suspected fraud or integrity concerns within an event, Goawin may suspend settlement and hold funds pending investigation with the relevant authorities.
• Bets are settled in decimal odds. Where a different odds display format is presented, the settled amount uses decimal odds as the controlling figure.
• Goawin may decide on a bet-by-bet basis where coverage or data gaps exist, including cases not expressly covered by these general rules.
• Rules listed here may be amended or translated; in any conflict the English version is the official version.

2. Market Integrity, Verification and Settlement Timeframes

• Where a market outcome cannot be verified, Goawin will void or delay settlement until verification is completed. Markets offered after an outcome has already been verified may be voided at Goawin's discretion.
• Any correction or resettlement of a market will be completed within 30 days of the original settlement. Goawin reserves the right to reclaim incorrect payouts and adjust settlements accordingly.
• Bets on events that are not finished within the standard time frame, or where the schedule deviates from the norm, may be voided unless a clear official result is declared within the permitted window.
• Two-decimal truncation applies to displayed odds; total wager or winnings are calculated using a more precise internal figure and rounded down to two decimals for payout.
• Video Assistant Referee (VAR) or other official review decisions that conflict with on-pitch events may affect bets placed during the window of incident; where the final decision alters the recorded state, bets may be voided if the market was unsettled by the incident. Markets not affected by the review stand as settled.
• In the event of postponement, abandonment, or venue changes, Goawin may void or settle markets according to the official result as published or announced within the permitted period. Markets tied to the original event listing may be voided where the listing no longer applies.

3. Sports-Specific Settlement Principles

Goawin follows standard settlement rules by sport, with the aim of consistency and fairness across all markets. Where a sport-specific rule is not explicitly stated here, Goawin will apply the governing body’s official result and widely accepted practices for settlement.

4. Outrights, Special Markets and Play-or-Pay

• Outright markets (season-long, tournament winner, top finish, etc.) settle on the official declared outcome regardless of events during the competition. If a participant cannot take part, Outright markets remain valid unless otherwise stated.
• Play-or-Pay: bets on Outright markets remain valid even if a listed participant cannot participate, with the market resolved as a loss where applicable; where a head-to-head (H2H) out-right involves listed participants, H2H terms may be voided if a listed participant does not take part.
• For markets involving multiple participants, if a listed participant is replaced by a participant from the same team, team markets may stand while individual markets for the original participant may be voided.

5. Soccer (Football) Rules and Point of Settlement

• All standard match markets settle on the end of regular playing time, including stoppage time, but excluding extra time and penalty shootouts unless specified in the market description. Markets that include extra time or shootouts will specify this clearly.
• VAR decisions that alter the state of play may void bets if the incident occurred within the window between the original incident and the final decision, unless the market odds were unaffected by the VAR decision.
• If a match is postponed, abandoned, or not started on the original date, bets remain valid if the match resumes within 48 hours; otherwise, unsettled or open markets may be voided unless a result has been unconditionally determined.
• Changes to team names, home/away designation or venue after bets have been placed may trigger voids for affected markets if the original listing no longer applies.
• First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer and Anytime Goalscorer: own goals are excluded as scorers, and players who do not participate are treated as non-runners. If a scorer enters play after the goal is scored, relevant bets may be voided as specified by market rules.
• Card markets (yellow, red) are settled on official statistics; substitutions and non-playing personnel are generally excluded from card tallies unless explicitly included by the market.

6. American Football Rules

• Bet settlement generally requires the official result at the end of the standard period. Overtime results apply only if the market description includes overtime.
• For payout eligibility, a minimum of 55 minutes of a 60-minute game must be completed unless the market specifies otherwise. If a result is not available, bets may be void after 48 hours.
• Venue changes, home/away designation changes, or a game not resumed within the scheduled week may void wagers unless a winner is officially declared.
• Play-by-play and player-specific markets are settled on official statistics; penalties and certain yardage may not count toward settlement for specific markets unless stated.

7. Athletics and Other Field Sports

• Athletics, Badminton and other listed disciplines settle on the official result as published by the governing body. If a result is not declared or a competition is abandoned without a declared winner, affected markets may be voided.
• Dead heat rules apply to relevant markets; in a multiple-winner scenario, stake returns are allocated proportionally according to the number of winners.

8. Australian Rules Football

• Markets settle on the end of the scheduled 80 minutes of play, including injury time, excluding extra-time unless stated. If a match is postponed or abandoned and not resumed within 48 hours, unsettled markets may be voided unless a winner is declared.
• Half and quarter markets are determined by the score in the corresponding period, and any changes to match format or finals status are settled under the official rules of the competition.

9. Badminton

• Settle on the official result; if data is lost and no result is published, undecided markets are void. If a match is suspended and not resumed within 48 hours, undecided markets may be voided.

10. Horse Racing

• Races settle on First Past The Post and the official result announced after any Steward’s Inquiries or Objections. If a winner is demoted after the official result, settlement remains based on the weighed-in result provided the concession rules apply.
• Double Result concessions may apply, ensuring customers are paid according to both the immediate outcome and the official weighed-in result where permitted.

Goawin’s governing principle is to settle all bets in good faith on the basis of official results and recognized data from the relevant sport’s authorities. Any variance between data sources, or between the on-screen presentation and official results, will be resolved in Goawin’s sole discretion in a manner consistent with these rules.
