Refund Criteria: - Refunds occur only if a market is declared void due to the event’s outcome being impossible to determine. - Markets may be voided if the match is abandoned or significantly disrupted, subject to event-specific rules.

Non-Refundable Situations: - If a bet is settled (win or loss) based on the official match result or market rules, refunds are not provided even if the match is rain-affected. - Bets are settled according to the specific outcome of the selected market, regardless of interruptions or format changes.

Why Bets Often Settle Normally: - For markets like total runs or player performance, the bets are settled based on the final recorded outcomes, even when overs are reduced. For example, if the total runs market specifies no minimum overs requirement, the bet is valid as long as an official match result is declared. - Example: A first-innings total bet settles on the number of runs achieved, even if fewer overs were played.

Role of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) Method: - The DLS method is often used to determine the match result in rain-affected games. Bets are settled according to the official result declared under DLS rules. - Example: If the bet was on Team A to win and DLS declares Team B the winner, the bet is settled as a loss for Team A supporters rather than voided.

Market-Specific Rules: - Fancy Bets: Fancy markets, such as player runs or session performance, settle based on the statistics recorded at the time play stops, provided sufficient play has occurred. If a match ends before the player fulfills the specific condition, the bet typically settles as a loss rather than being refunded. - Total Runs Market: For team-based total runs bets, overs being reduced does not automatically void the bet unless the market rules explicitly state a minimum overs requirement. Settlement is based on the official result, regardless of reductions.

Void Scenarios: - Bets are voided if there is no official result or if the event is abandoned without resumption within the prescribed timeframe (e.g., 48 hours).

Refunds on Unsettled Outcomes: - If market rules prohibit settling the bet due to insufficient play or ambiguous results, the stake may be returned to your account.

Why does it take time to process refunds for abandoned matches? - Settlement is handled by the betting market. Refunds are applied after bets are officially voided or settled. Busy periods or delayed confirmation of match conditions can extend processing times.

Do reduced overs always void bets? - No. Overs reductions do not void bets unless explicitly stated in the market terms. For example, a bet on "1st innings total runs Over 250.5" is settled as per the final total runs, even if overs are reduced.

Why hasn’t my refund appeared for an abandoned match? - If the bet remains unsettled, wait for the settlement process to complete. Funds are credited automatically once the void or loss is confirmed.
