SPORTSBOOK RULES
Comprehensive Betting Guidelines
These Sportsbook Rules govern all betting activities on Rainbet’s sports betting platform. By placing any bet, you agree to comply with these rules and acknowledge that all wagers are subject to these terms. We reserve the right to amend these rules at any time, with changes taking effect immediately upon publication. All bets are settled based on official results from reputable data sources, and decisions made by Rainbet regarding bet settlement are final.
General Betting Rules
Bet Acceptance and Settlement
Once a bet is accepted, it cannot be reversed or canceled. All bets are settled based on official results at the conclusion of events. Results become final 72 hours after posting, after which no queries will be accepted. We reserve the right to void bets placed on obviously incorrect odds, after event start times (except live betting), or due to system errors. Bets placed on events with incorrect dates, misspelled team names, or wrong tournaments will stand as long as the intended event is clear.
Bet Types
Single Bet: Wager on a single outcome. Payout = stake × odds.
Combo (Accumulator): Multiple selections combined into one bet. All selections must win for payout. Payout = stake × combined odds.
System Bet: Multiple combinations of accumulators from selected outcomes. Partial wins possible if some selections win.
Cash Out: Settlement option offered at Rainbet’s discretion allowing early bet closure at adjusted odds before event conclusion.

Voiding and Cancellation
Bets may be voided if: incorrect odds were offered (obvious errors), bets were placed after event start, software/system errors occurred, venue changes affected the outcome, events are abandoned without resuming within 48 hours, or fraudulent activity is detected. If events are not completed within 48 hours of scheduled start time, all bets are void except for completed periods and certain exceptions outlined in sport-specific rules.

Soccer Betting Rules
All bets are settled on 90 minutes of play plus injury time, unless otherwise stated. Extra time and penalty shootouts do not count unless specified. Corners awarded but not taken do not count. Own goals are not considered for player scoring markets. Yellow cards count as 1 card, red/yellow-red as 2 cards (maximum 3 cards per player). Cards shown after full-time do not count. Settlement is based on TV broadcast and official statistics unless clear evidence proves otherwise.
Basketball Betting Rules
Markets do not include overtime unless expressly stated. If matches are interrupted and rescheduled within 48 hours, bets stand; otherwise void. Quarter/period betting only considers scoring in specified timeframe. “Will there be overtime” settles as “yes” if regular time ends in a draw, regardless of whether overtime is actually played.
Tennis Betting Rules
In case of retirement or walkover, undecided markets are void unless outcome was already determined. Bets stand regardless of venue changes, surface changes, or schedule changes. Match tie-breaks count as the 3rd set. Every tie-break counts as 1 game. Penalty points awarded by umpire do not affect bet validity.
Esports Betting Rules
Settlement based on official results from game streams. Matches postponed beyond 24 hours are void. Walkovers void all bets. Stand-ins are permitted if organizer allows. If match format differs from offering, bets may be void. Team retirements void undecided markets except completed maps.
CS2/Valorant: If player disconnects and match continues 4v5 for 5+ rounds, affected bets void.
Dota 2/LoL: Disconnections in first 10 minutes void bets; after 10 minutes, bets stand.
All Esports: Overtime included unless stated otherwise.
Dota 2/LoL: Disconnections in first 10 minutes void bets; after 10 minutes, bets stand.

Live (In-Play) Betting
Live bets may experience short delays before acceptance. Betting may be suspended during dangerous situations (free kicks, penalties, attacks). Live scores displayed are for informational purposes only and accuracy is not guaranteed. If markets remain open with incorrect scores that significantly impact odds, we reserve the right to void affected bets. All live betting is subject to our risk management policies.
