Football / Soccer

  • All bets unless otherwise stated are on the 90 minutes (including injury time granted by the referee).

  • If any match is postponed and rescheduled:

    • Should the rescheduled time be later than 3 days after the original scheduled start time, all undetermined bets will be void, regardless of when the rescheduled date & time is confirmed.

    • If, within 3 hours of the original kick-off time, the match is confirmed to take place within the current or 3 days after the original local event kick-off date, all bets on the match will stand.

    • If, after 3 hours of the original kick-off time, the match is confirmed to take place within the current or 3 days after the original local event kick-off date, all bets on the match will still be void.

  • If a match starts but is then abandoned:

    • Any bets which are irreversibly determined (eg. BTTS or Over Lines) will be settled.

    • If, within 3 hours of kick-off, the match is confirmed to restart within the current or 3 days after the abandonment, all bets on the match will stand.

    • After 3 hours, if confirmation on the restart is not yet confirmed, all undetermined bets will be voided.

  • 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.

  • In the case of ambiguity, BetDEX reserves the right to determine the correct result.

Market Specific Rules

Winner Markets / Full Time Result

  • Full Time Result market are based on 90 minutes plus stoppage time, and will be determined by the score at the full-time whistle. Extra time, golden goal or penalties will not count.

  • Winner markets (such as 'to lift the trophy' or 'to qualify') contain only two outcomes and cannot end up in a draw. Extra time, golden goal or penalties will count towards the outcome.

  • 'Draw no Bet' markets that end in a draw will be void.

Both Teams To Score

  • This market is based on 90 minutes plus stoppage time, and will be determined by the score at the full-time whistle. The player whom scores is not relevant (ie. Own goals are included).

  • Disallowed goals, and goals score in extra time, golden goal or penalties will not count.

Goal Handicaps (+ / - X goals)

  • "Goal Handicap" means that one team receives a 'virtual head start', effectively leading the game by a differing amount or amounts before the game starts.

  • We currently offer two types of handicap - half goal (+/-0.5, 1.5 etc) and whole goal (+/-0,1 etc).

    • In the case of a half-goal handicap, naturally there is always a clear winner as it's not possible to score half a goal.

    • In the case of a whole goal handicap, if the result is level after the handicap is taken into consideration, then the market is voided & bets are refunded.

  • We are working to introduce quarter goal handicaps in 2026 (ie. +/- 1.25, 1.75, etc).

  • Please note - if you bet on a Goal Handicap market while the event is Live, the handicap is applied based on the full-time score, regardless of the live score at the time you place the bet.

    • So for example, if at 30' into the game the live score is 2-0, and you place a bet on the Away +1.0 market:

      • If the game ends 2-0 (or similar) --> your bet loses

      • If the game ends 2-1 (or similar) --> your bet will be voided

      • If the game ends 2-2 or 2-3 (or similar) --> your bet will win

Goal Lines (Over / Under X goals)

  • Only goals scored within the 90 minutes plus stoppage time are included.

  • Your bet is placed on whether the number of goals for both teams in the match is under or over the specified line and will be settled as follows:

    • For Half-Lines (eg. Over/Under 2.5 Goals) - bets can only ever be over or under, and will be settled accordingly.

    • For Whole-Lines - bets that 'hit the line' will be void. For example, if you bet £10 on Over 2.0 Goals @ 2.0:

      • 0 or 1 goal scored = bet loses.

      • 2 goals scored = bet void, £10 stake refunded

      • 3 or more goals scored = bet wins, £20 returned (less commission)

    • For Quarter-Lines (which we don't currently offer, but are working to introduce in 2026) - these are a 50:50 split of a whole and a half line bet (e.g 2.5 & 3.0). And have 4 possible outcomes: win, lose, half win, half lose.

      • Example 1 - if you bet £20 on Over 2.75 @ 2.0 odds, then you have two separate £10 bets (at the same odds) on Over 2.5 & Over 3.0:

        • 0, 1 or 2 goals scored = bet loses.

        • 3 goals scored = over 2.5 bet wins (£20 returned, less commission), over 3.0 bet is void (£10 stake refunded) = half win, total £30 returned (less commission).

        • 4 or more goals scored = bet wins, £40 returned (less commission)

      • Example 2 - if you bet £100 on Over 1.25 Goals @ 1.5 odds, then you have two £50 bets on Over 1.0 & Over 1.5:

        • 0 goals scored = bet loses

        • 1 goal scored = over 1.0 bet is void (£50 stake refunded), over 1.5 bet loses = half lose, total £50 returned.

        • 2 or more goals scored = bet wins, £150 returned (less commission)

Cards

  • Cards Lines markets have the same rules as with Goal Lines, where:

    • For whole-lines, if the total number of cards in the match is the same as the card line, your stake is returned.

    • For quarter-lines, you may win or lose half, as above.

  • Maximum 3 cards per player:

    • One yellow = 1 Card

    • Two yellows leading to a red card = 3 Cards

    • One straight red = 2 Cards.

    • One yellow card & one straight red card = 3 cards

  • Settlement will be made with reference to all available evidence to cards shown during the scheduled 90 minutes play (stoppage time is included, extra time and penalties are not).

  • Cards only count if they are shown to players:

    • after the game has started

    • after they take to the pitch for the first time

    • before they leave the pitch for the final time

    • before the full time whistle is blown

  • All other cards, including any card shown after the full-time whistle has been blown, cards shown to a manager or other coaching staff, cards shown to substitutes before or after they take to the pitch, or un-used substitutes will be disregarded.

  • Any card shown during the half-time break will be included in the 2nd half total, provided it was shown to a player who was on the pitch when the half-time whistle was blown.

Corners

  • Markets such as 'number of corners' will be determined on the basis of the number taken, rather than awarded. Consequently, if a corner is awarded, but the referee blows for Half/Full-Time before the corner is taken, the corner will not count.

1st Half Markets

  • All bets unless otherwise stated will include the 45 minutes plus any stoppage time in the 1st half.

  • Any cards given after half-time whistle has blown will not be counted towards any 1st Half Cards markets.

Correct Score

  • Market is based on 90 minutes plus any stoppage time, and will be determined by the score at the full-time whistle. Extra time, golden goal or penalties will not count.
