Sport Betting Rules

Scope and interpretation

These sport betting rules govern all bets accepted by 711bet in connection with scheduled and live sporting events. They form an integral part of the customer agreement and interpretation is governed by the definitions in the Terms and Conditions unless otherwise defined herein.

General settlement framework

All bets are settled according to the official result published by the relevant governing body or organizer. A market is considered settled when the official outcome is announced. If an outright or long‑term market is decided by an official post‑event declaration, bets placed after the publication of that outcome may be void. If a match is not completed and is decided by the referee or an official source, settlement follows the published result. Where a market is not determined within the normal duration, settlement occurs at the conclusion of the event in accordance with the market description, except where the market expressly states otherwise. Player specials markets are excluded from these general settlement rules.

• If overtime or extra periods are not included in the market description, penalties or shootouts occurring after regular time are not counted unless the market states otherwise.
• For events started late or postponed, bets remain valid if the kick‑off occurs within 48 hours of the official start time; otherwise the operator may void the bets and refund stakes.
• Markets tied to the qualification of a team or participant (such as To Qualify or Method of Victory) will be settled as void if the event is postponed or not completed within the specified window.

Event interruptions, postponements and resumptions

When an event is abandoned, postponed, or interrupted, settlement follows these principles unless the sport’s specific rules state otherwise:

• If the event resumes within 48 hours of the original start, open bets may remain valid and be settled on the resumed result.
• If the event is not resumed within 48 hours, undecided bets are generally void and stakes refunded, except where markets already determined prior to the interruption.
• For two‑leg or multi‑part formats, only the bets placed on the relevant component may be affected; markets tied to the overall outcome may be adjusted according to the final official results.

System interruptions and error handling

During a technical interruption, the operator applies standard checks on funds, odds accuracy, and event status. Bets may be accepted or rejected based on the status when the system becomes available. Customers should review their betting history to confirm acceptance or rejection of a bet.

The operator reserves the right to correct obvious errors in prices or event details. If a palpable error occurs, the operator may void or settle bets on revised odds at its sole discretion.

VAR and officiating decisions

Decisions by video technology that contradict the on‑field decision during the bet period may render the bets within that window void if the VAR decision alters the known state of the match at the time of bet acceptance. Bets unaffected by the VAR outcome, and not reliant on the disputed incident, shall stand. The operator may reverse settlements if the final official decision is communicated before the match concludes and within the applicable settlement window.

Odds presentation and settlement timing

Odds displayed to customers reflect two decimal digits for on‑screen presentation. For accumulator and total calculations, the operator uses a sixth decimal digit for rounding, while the winning amount is truncated to two decimal places. Any discrepancy between displayed odds and settled results is governed by these rounding rules.

The maximum period allowed between initial settlement and any subsequent re‑settlement is 30 days.

Play‑or‑Pay and outright markets

Outright markets (including winner, top positions, and similar classifications) are subject to a Play‑or‑Pay rule. If a listed participant is unable to participate, bets on the outright market stand as losses regardless of the participant’s absence. Head‑to‑head markets involving a participant who cannot take part are settled as void. Where a participant is replaced by a team member of the same team, team markets remain valid while individual participation markets may be void.

Outright markets are settled based on the final official result. If the event is cancelled or the venue changes, bets may be voided in accordance with the general rules.

Dead heat rules apply to outright markets when two or more competitors tie for a position.

Special bet types: scorers and related markets

• First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer and Anytime Goalscorer apply to regular time unless the market description specifies otherwise. Own goals may be treated as no scorer unless the event description explicitly states otherwise.
• Bets on a player who does not participate in the match will be void for that player’s markets. If a match is abandoned after a scorer has occurred, bets on the first scorer may remain; other scorer markets may be void.

Rules by sport and general applicability

In addition to these general rules, sport‑specific rules apply and take precedence where published. Where sport rules are not expressly stated, the general settlement rules apply. The operator reserves the right to determine settlement on a case‑by‑case basis when a matter falls outside the written rules.

Security, integrity and eligibility considerations

The operator may void bets or suspend acceptance where integrity concerns arise, including suspected match fixing, unusual betting patterns, or other risks to fair play. Bets placed by customers with known conflicts of interest or involvement in the event may be cancelled or voided in full.
