These rules explain how sportsbook bets work, from choosing a pre-match or live market to confirmation, settlement, and possible voids or refunds. They cover football and other sports, odds changes, suspended markets, and cancelled or postponed events. A selection on a bet slip is not an accepted bet: check its confirmed status in your account. The current Beguma Bet Terms and Conditions and official betting rules take priority if a general explanation differs. Betting involves financial risk, and a stake can be lost.
Pre-Match Betting Rules
A pre-match bet is a selection placed before an event officially begins. The odds shown may change before you confirm the bet. Review the bet slip before submitting: if the odds have changed, you may be asked to accept the new odds or decline the bet. The bet is not accepted merely because you added a selection to the slip.
Once accepted, the bet is subject to the market rules and the event’s eventual settlement. An event may be postponed, cancelled, abandoned, or settled under a specific market rule. Results are determined using the applicable official source or data provider. For general sportsbook information, see Beguma Bet sport betting.
Settlement Rules and Official Results
Bet settlement rules explain how a market is graded after an event. Settlement uses official results or other applicable information from a governing body, league, or data provider. The source and method can depend on the sport and market, so a live display or unofficial report may not be the final basis for settlement.
After settlement, check the bet’s status in your account history. If a result is later corrected or the settlement appears inconsistent with the applicable market rules, it may be reviewed and corrected under the current Terms and Conditions. Keep the bet ID and relevant details if you need to ask about a result.
Void Bets, Refunds and Stake Returns
A void bet is one that is settled as neither a win nor a loss under the applicable rules. In many cases, the stake is returned, but the reason for the void and the treatment of a market depend on the official rules. A void selection in an accumulator or parlay may be settled at odds of 1.00, with the remaining selections continuing to count.
Bonus stakes may be subject to separate conditions, including different rules for returns. Check the terms that apply to the offer before relying on a particular outcome; see Beguma Bet bonus code. These general void bet rules do not replace the specific market terms.
Match Postponement, Cancellation and Abandonment
Cancelled match betting rules depend on when the event stops and the rules for the relevant sport and market. If an event is cancelled before it starts, bets are generally void and stakes returned unless the applicable rules state otherwise. If an event is postponed, settlement depends on the official rules and the circumstances; no fixed resumption period should be assumed.
- If play starts but does not finish, sport-specific and market-specific rules determine whether a bet is void or can be settled.
- A market whose outcome was already determined before an interruption may be settled where the rules allow it.
- Check the event and market details in the current betting rules rather than assuming every selection is treated alike.
Football Betting Rules
Football betting rules usually distinguish the regular-time result from markets that include extra time or penalties. A 90-minute or full-time result market normally refers to regular time, including stoppage time, unless its wording says otherwise. Extra time and a penalty shootout count only when the selected market explicitly includes them.
Market names define what is being settled. First-half, second-half, total-goals, and both-teams-to-score selections each have their own outcome conditions. During live football, markets may be suspended around a goal, VAR review, red card, dangerous attack, or other significant play. See Beguma Bet football for the relevant football information.
Live Betting Rules
Live betting rules apply to bets placed while an event is in progress. Live odds can move quickly as the action changes, and a market may be temporarily suspended or unavailable. A displayed price is not a guarantee that a bet will be accepted at that price.
The system may take time to check whether the odds remain current. A live selection becomes a valid bet only after the system confirms it and records its status. A delay, connection issue, or pricing error may result in a bet being rejected or handled under the applicable rules. Not every market will be available throughout an event. See Beguma Bet live for live betting information.
Bet Acceptance and Confirmation
Adding a selection to a bet slip does not mean a bet has been placed. A bet is accepted only when the system confirms it, assigns it a status, and records it in the account history. If you cannot find the bet in your history, do not assume it was accepted; check the account record and any displayed status.
Use Beguma Bet login to access your account and review available bet history. Before leaving the bet slip, verify the event, market, selection, stake, odds, and confirmation. A submitted request that is rejected is not the same as an accepted bet.
Odds Changes, Errors and Suspended Markets
Odds change rules concern the price shown before a bet is confirmed. If odds change before confirmation, review the revised price and accept it only if you choose to proceed. A suspended market is temporarily unavailable for placing bets; suspension does not mean that a selection has been accepted or that the market will reopen.
If an obvious or palpable error affects a price or market, the bet may be cancelled or recalculated in line with the current Terms and Conditions. The applicable terms also govern how an error is identified and addressed. Read Terms and Conditions for the rules that apply to accepted bets and market errors.
Bet Limits, Payout Limits and Account Restrictions
Minimum or maximum stakes, maximum payouts, market limits, and account restrictions may apply. Limits can vary by account, event, market, or other conditions. No specific amount or limit should be assumed unless it is displayed or confirmed in the applicable current rules.
Restrictions may also depend on legal or regional requirements. Review License & Regulation and Legal Status in Ethiopia for information that must be checked against current official sources. These sports betting rules in Ethiopia do not establish that betting is available or permitted in every location.
Responsible Betting and Age Restrictions
Sports betting is not a way to earn income, and you can lose the money you stake. Participate only where permitted by law and only if you meet the applicable legal age requirement. The age threshold, regional availability, and other access conditions must be confirmed using current official information; this page does not set or verify them.
Set personal limits before you play, and do not stake money needed for essential expenses. If betting is causing distress or is becoming difficult to control, stop and seek appropriate support. Read Responsible Gaming and Age Restriction Policy for further guidance and requirements.
How to Contact Support About a Betting Rule
If you believe a bet was rejected, voided, or settled incorrectly, first check its status and the rules for the specific market. When contacting support, include the bet ID, date, sport and event, market, selection, stake, and odds. A screenshot may help if available, but do not share passwords or other sensitive login details.
Describe the issue clearly and ask for a review of the relevant settlement or acceptance record. Contact Contact Us. A review may require checking the official result, data source, and applicable betting rules; an enquiry does not guarantee that the original settlement will change.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is a sports bet accepted by Beguma Bet?
A bet is accepted only after the system confirms it, assigns a status, and records it in your account history. A selection added to a bet slip or a submitted request alone is not proof of acceptance. Check the recorded bet details, including the event, market, stake, and odds.
What happens if odds change before I confirm a bet?
You may be shown revised odds and asked to accept them before the bet can proceed. Review the new price and decide whether to continue or decline. The original odds are not guaranteed until the system confirms the bet at the applicable price.
Are live bets confirmed immediately?
Not necessarily. Live markets can move quickly, and the system may check that the odds are still current before accepting a request. A market may also be suspended during play. Treat a live bet as accepted only when confirmation and a recorded status appear in your account.
What is a void bet?
A void bet is settled as neither a win nor a loss under the applicable rules. The stake is generally returned, subject to the market’s terms. In an accumulator, a void selection may be treated at odds of 1.00, while the other selections remain subject to their own outcomes.
What happens if a football match is postponed?
The outcome depends on the applicable football and market rules, including whether the match is rescheduled and whether a particular market was already determined. Do not assume a fixed time limit or identical treatment for every bet. Check the event’s status and the current rules for the market you selected.
How can I dispute a settled bet?
Check the bet history and the market’s settlement conditions, then contact support with the bet ID, event, date, market, stake, odds, and a screenshot if available. Support may review the official result and data source. A review does not guarantee that the settlement will be changed.
