General betting rules for bets, odds, and events in Tanzania

  • Who may place a bet
    • Bets are accepted only from registered users who have passed eligibility checks, have sufficient balance, and are located in jurisdictions where betting is allowed, including Tanzania.
    • Self-excluded or suspended users may not place bets.
  • Bet acceptance
    • A bet is accepted when a confirmation ID appears in your bet history and balance is debited.

    • The operator may refuse, limit, or void a bet before acceptance due to pricing, market errors, or regulatory reasons.

    • Stake limits, maximum returns, and market-specific caps are displayed in the bet slip before you confirm.
    • Limits may vary by sport, event, market type, and odds.
  • Settlement and results
    • Bets are settled using official results published by the governing body of the event. If no such body exists, reputable data sources may be used.
    • Where a palpable error or incorrect odds were offered, the operator may void the selection or settle at the corrected price.
    • Settlement is in Tanzanian Shilling (TZS); rounding may apply to the nearest whole shilling as displayed in your account.
  • Voids, postponements, and cancellations
    • If an event is postponed, abandoned, or materially changes venue or participants, bets may be void or carried forward according to the specific market rules shown next to the market.
    • If a market definition is not met, affected bets may be settled as void.
  • Cash out
    • Cash out, partial cash out, and auto cash out are offered on selected markets only and are not guaranteed. Requests may be rejected if odds change or markets are suspended.

  • Disputes
    • Disputes about bet settlement should be raised promptly through Support; provide the bet ID and event details. If unresolved, you may seek external dispute resolution or guidance from relevant Tanzanian authorities.
