What Is a Void Bet?
A void bet is a bet that has been cancelled and settled with a full refund of the stake.
When a bet is declared void, it is treated as if the selection was never placed. No winnings are awarded, but no losses are incurred either.
Void bets are used when an event or market cannot be settled fairly according to the Sportsbook Rules.
What Happens When a Bet Is Void?
If a bet is settled as void:
• Your stake is refunded in full
• No winnings are paid
• No losses are incurred
• The bet is removed from settlement calculations where applicable
The refunded amount is returned to your account balance once the market has been settled.
Why Can a Bet Be Declared Void?
There are several reasons why a bet may be voided.
Event Cancellation
If a sporting event is cancelled and not completed according to the Sportsbook Rules, all affected bets may be declared void.
Match Postponement
If a match is postponed and not played within the timeframe specified in the Sportsbook Rules, bets may be voided.
Participant Withdrawal
In individual sports such as tennis, boxing, or MMA, bets may be voided if a participant withdraws before the event starts.
Incorrect Market Information
If a market was offered with clearly incorrect information, odds, participants, or event details, the sportsbook may void affected bets.
Settlement Errors
In rare situations where a market cannot be settled correctly due to missing, conflicting, or unverifiable information, bets may be declared void.
Unverifiable Results
If an official result cannot be confirmed or verified, the sportsbook may void the affected market.
What Happens to a Void Selection in a Combo Bet?
If a selection within a Combo Bet is declared void:
• The void selection is removed from the Combo Bet
• The remaining selections continue as normal
• The overall odds are adjusted accordingly
Example
Original Combo:
• Team A to win @ 2.00
• Team B to win @ 1.80
• Team C to win @ 1.50
If Team B's selection becomes void:
The Combo continues with:
• Team A to win @ 2.00
• Team C to win @ 1.50
The payout is recalculated using the remaining selections.
What Happens If All Selections Are Void?
If every selection in a bet becomes void:
• The entire stake is refunded
• No winnings are paid
Can a Winning Bet Become Void?
Yes, but only if there is a valid reason under the Sportsbook Rules.
Examples include:
• Event cancellation
• Official result changes
• Settlement errors
• Incorrect market creation
Voiding a bet is not based on whether the selection wins or loses.
How Will I Know If My Bet Was Voided?
When a bet is settled as void, this will be displayed in your betting history.
You may see:
• Void
• Cancelled
• Refunded
The stake associated with the void selection or bet will be returned according to the applicable settlement rules.
Are Void Bets Common?
Void bets are relatively uncommon but can occur in situations beyond the control of the sportsbook, such as event cancellations, postponements, or official result issues.
They are used to ensure fair treatment for all players.
