Betting Rules

Scope and Definitions

These Betting Rules govern every wager placed with Ffbet. By placing a wager, you acknowledge and agree to comply with the terms set forth herein, the Terms and Conditions, and applicable gaming regulations. For clarity, definitions used in these Rules are:

  • Wager: an accepted bet on an event offered by Ffbet.
  • Event: a scheduled sports contest or match on which a wager is offered.
  • Action: a wager that is considered eligible for settlement in accordance with these Rules.
  • No Action: a wager that is cancelled and funds returned due to rule conditions (for example, a non-starting listed pitcher or an event not meeting official status).
  • Official Time: the minimum playing time or completion threshold required for a contest to be eligible for wagering settlement, as specified by sport-specific rules.
  • Result Source: the authoritative source used to determine final results when settling wagers (the official event website or other industry-standard sources if specified).
  • Mercy Rule: early-termination rules for certain leagues or events, where applicable to wagering.
  • Overtime: extension periods beyond regulation time where provided for by the sport’s competition rules.

General Principles

All wagers are subject to these Rules. If the outcome of an event is not determined by the official sources at the time of settlement, or if the event is suspended, postponed, or cancelled, wagers may be settled as No Action unless the bet description specifies otherwise. In disputes, the governing rule is the governing regulatory framework of the jurisdiction in which Ffbet operates, supplemented by industry-standard practices for unresolved matters.

Event Status and Action by Sport

Soccer (Football)

The standard contest consists of two halves of 45 minutes. Where applicable, extra time and a penalty shootout determine a winner. For wagering purposes, an event becomes official after the full allotted playing time, including any injury or stoppage time that is part of the standard contest, unless a specific rule states otherwise.

  • If a match is suspended before full time and is not completed on the same calendar day, wagers on the match outcome are void and all such wagers are refunded, unless the bet type specifies action through resumed play.
  • Second-half wagers require completion of the second half to be considered action; bets that include extra time or penalties are eligible only if explicitly described in the wager.

American Football

Official time is the completion of the game as defined by the league rules (typically four quarters totaling 60 minutes). Wagers settle on the official final score unless a rule states otherwise.

  • In case of postponement or suspension, wagers are treated in accordance with league-adopted policies and these Rules, including any provision for No Action when the event does not reach a defined completion.

Basketball

Wagers on basketball are settled according to the official game results. Action status varies by competition; for non-NBA events, a minimum amount of elapsed play time is required for action (as specified below).

  • Pro basketball (top-tier professional) generally requires completion with overtime included for all applicable bets; college basketball requires a different elapsed time threshold for action.
  • Second-half wagers include overtime where the wager description contemplates overtime.

Baseball

Baseball wagering is determined by official play, with action rules tied to innings and pitching conditions as described below. Bets may be settled based on the last completed inning if the game is suspended.

  • Official status: a game is official after a specified number of innings (commonly five) unless the home team is ahead after that point per standard rules. For run lines and totals, a full nine innings (or eight and a half if the home team is winning) generally constitutes action.
  • Listed Pitchers (LP) vs. Your Team’s Pitcher (PT) vs. Opposing Pitcher (TP): wagering depends on which pitchers are designated at bet time; if the listed conditions do not hold, the wager may be No Action.
  • Pitching changes do not automatically invalidate action if the opening price remains applicable; however, certain pitcher-related wagers may be cancelled or adjusted based on actual starting pitchers.

Hockey

Hockey is official after the standard 60 minutes of regulation play, with overtime and shootouts considered for bets that specify those conditions. Wager settlement follows the complete-game result, including overtime where relevant to the bet type.

  • Money Line, Puck Line, and Total goals bets are settled on the official result, including overtime if the bet type includes it.

Tennis

Tennis matches count as official upon the match having commenced play to the point specified by the tennis rules for wagering settlement. When not specified otherwise, the official result is taken from the event’s primary authoritative source.

  • In Play and props on players or sets are settled based on official scoring within the match according to the recognized governing body.

Other Sports and Events

Rules for other sports follow the general framework above, with sport-specific benchmarks published in the wager description. Where events do not conform to standard timing or structure, No Action may apply unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Integrity, Line Accuracy, and Disputes

  • Bad Line Rule: If a wagering line is obviously erroneous, Ffbet reserves the right to cancel or adjust affected wagers.
  • Cheating Rule: Wagers may be voided if evidence of cheating, intentional manipulation, or fraudulent conduct is established.
  • Wrong Matchup Rule: Bets placed on a misidentified event or lineup may be cancelled.
  • Prices and lines may be adjusted after the start of an event in response to changes in circumstances; such adjustments do not automatically invalidate existing bets unless the wager description specifies otherwise.

Postponements, Suspensions, and No Action

When an event is postponed or suspended and not completed on the same calendar day, wagers described as action for the resumed event proceed under the governing sport rules. If the event is not resumed, affected wagers may be considered No Action. Wagers on any event that is entirely canceled before completion are typically No Action unless the wager description states otherwise.

Result Sources and Settlement

Settlement is based on the official outcome published by the event’s governing body or its official website. If the official site is unavailable, the wager will be settled using a contemporaneously recognized industry standard results source. In the absence of a definitive result, Ffbet reserves the right to declare No Action or consult alternative authoritative sources to determine the outcome.

Governing Law and Compliance

These Rules are governed by the applicable gaming laws and regulatory framework under which Ffbet operates. Any disputes regarding wagers are resolved in accordance with the jurisdiction’s regulatory provisions and the internal dispute resolution process set forth in the Terms and Conditions.

Notes on Definitions and Examples

  • Example: A baseball wager on the Run Line may specify a handicap of -1.5 runs for the favored team. If the game ends tied or with a margin that does not cover the handicap after nine innings, the wager is settled according to the official final score at the time of decision.
  • Example: A soccer match suspended after 70 minutes and resumed the next day will be settled as No Action unless the wager description specifies action for resumed play.
