General Betting Rules and Bet Settlement in Nigeria

These general betting rules apply to all bets unless specific market rules state otherwise.

These rules govern settlement across sports and events. For any conflict, specific market rules take priority over general rules published by 1xBet.

Who May Place a Bet

  • Only verified users aged 18 or older, legally allowed to bet in Nigeria;
  • Bets must be placed from locations where betting is legal and not restricted.

Bet Acceptance

  • A bet is accepted when it appears in your bet history with a unique reference and confirmed odds;
  • Once accepted, a bet cannot be altered or cancelled by you;
  • The operator may refuse or limit any bet, or set maximum payout per event.

Stakes, Limits, and Odds

  • Minimum and maximum stakes are displayed at the point of betting and may vary by market;
  • Odds are decimal unless noted otherwise. Settlement uses the odds available at the time of acceptance;
  • The operator may apply maximum payout caps per sport, league, or event category.

Results and Settlement

  • Bets are settled based on official results from the event’s governing body or recognised data sources;
  • Winnings are generally calculated as stake multiplied by odds, and the payout includes the original stake unless the market rules state differently;
  • In dead-heat scenarios, settlement follows standard dead-heat rules.

Postponements and Abandonments

  • If an event is postponed or abandoned and not completed within the period set in the specific market rules, affected bets may be void;
  • For multi-bets, void selections are settled at odds of 1.00 and the rest of the bet stands.

Errors and Palpable Mistakes

  • If an obvious error occurs in odds, markets, or results, the operator may correct the error, void affected bets, or settle at the correct odds.

Live Betting and Cash Out

  • Live odds change rapidly and are subject to acceptance confirmation;
  • Cash out, if offered, is discretionary and may be unavailable during suspensions or market changes.

Restrictions and Responsible Play
