1. Introduction

The Sikwin Sportsbook Rules govern the use of the Sikwin online sportsbook. These rules set out how bets are placed, how the odds and settlements operate, and how disputes are resolved. The rules may be updated from time to time in accordance with applicable law and regulatory requirements. The law of the country of operation governs the interpretation and enforcement of these rules, and the operator may modify betting offerings, limits, or terms to remain in compliance with such law.

2. General Rules

• Eligibility: Only individuals meeting the applicable gambling age in their jurisdiction may use the sportsbook and place bets.
• Language: In the event of any discrepancy between language versions, the English version prevail for interpretation.
• Bet acceptance and finality: Once a bet is accepted on the sportsbook, it cannot be reversed except as provided by these rules. The platform will not review requests to alter stakes after acceptance where a bet is missing or duplicated.
• Account activity: End Users may review all bets in the dedicated betting history area; automated systems, including scanners or bots, are prohibited and may result in cancellation of affected bets.
• Account integrity: Multiple or third‑party accounts are prohibited for using the sportsbook and bets placed contrary to this rule are void.
• Jurisdictional variation: Availability of events and markets may vary by jurisdiction and remain subject to local law and licensing restrictions.
• Data and odds sources: The sportsbook uses reputable data sources for outcomes. Where not expressly disclosed, data sources may be disclosed to the End User on request.
• Rule precedence: Market Rules take precedence over Sport Rules; Sport Rules take precedence over General Rules. If no specific Market or Sport Rules exist, General Rules apply.
• Odds notation and rounding: Decimal odds are used for settlement. If an offer contains more than two decimal places, the payout is calculated to the second decimal place; total odds may be displayed with higher precision for tracking, but the winning amount is always rounded as described above.
• Settlement time and re‑settlement: The maximum period for re‑settlement after a betslip settlement is 30 days, subject to applicable regulatory requirements and the terms below.

3. Bets, Stakes and Acceptance

• Validity of bets: All Stakes and Bets are subject to these Rules and applicable law. A bet is valid only when expressly confirmed as accepted in the betslip.
• Operator discretion: The Sikwin sportsbook reserves the right to accept or reject any bet at any time and without providing a reason.
• Bets not accepted: If a bet is not accepted, the stake is refunded to the End User.
• Minimum and maximum bets: The minimum bet is set by the operator and may vary by sport and jurisdiction; the maximum bet depends on the sport, market, and regulatory limits.
• Parlays and multiple bets: Bets that combine multiple independent selections may be offered as Singles, Accumulators (multiples), or System variants. Bets on correlated outcomes or self‑referencing structures are not accepted and may be voided.
• Outright and live bets: Outright markets may be subject to Play‑or‑Pay rules as described in the Outright section; live bets settle based on the official result as it exists during or after the event.

4. Bet Types and Market Definitions

• Single (Ordinary) Bet: A bet on one outcome; payout equals stake multiplied by the specified odds.
• Combo (Accumulator) Bet: A bet on multiple independent outcomes; all selections must win for the bet to pay; payout is the stake multiplied by the total combined odds.
• System Bet: A structured set of multiple combinations derived from a fixed selection; payouts depend on the winning combinations within the System.
• Specialized combinatorial bets: Trixie, Patent, Yankee, Canadian (Super Yankee), Heinz, Super Heinz, Goliath, and similar structures are available where described in the offering; payouts are calculated as the stake multiplied by the total odds of the winning combinations.
• Odds rounding: If an odds quote contains more than two decimals, the payout for that selection is rounded to the second decimal place; total payout uses the described rounding rules.
• Cash Out: A discretionary feature allowing early settlement of a bet under revised conditions; availability and terms may change without prior notice and may apply to pre‑match and live bets.
• Bet Builder: A feature to place a bet on multiple Markets within the same Event; all selections must win to pay; availability is subject to sport, event, and operator discretion.

5. Market Types

• Match (1X2): Bet on the match result with 1 for the home team, X for draw, and 2 for the away team.
• Correct Score: Bet on the exact final score of the match.
• Over/Under (Totals): Bet on whether the total occurrences (e.g., goals) exceed or fall short of a line; if the total equals the line, the bet is void.
• Odd/Even: Bet on an outcome that is an odd or even number.
• Head‑to‑Head / Triple‑Head: Bets on competitions between two or three participants.
• Half Time / Full Time: Bets on both half‑time and final results; void if match format deviates from standard format.
• Period Betting: Bets on outcomes within defined periods of the match.
• Draw No Bet: Bet on a team to win; stake returned if the match ends in a draw.
• Handicap and Asian Handicap: Bets that apply a handicap to one side; in Asian Handicaps, the stake may be split between lines and partial wins or losses may apply depending on the result.
• Double Chance: Bet on two outcomes (1X, 12, or X2) to win if either outcome occurs.
• Outright / Place: Bets on final standings or tournament outcomes; applicable across short and long‑term markets.
• Quarter / Half / Period X and equivalent: Bets on outcomes within specific game segments; results include scores from earlier segments where specified.
• Race to X Points/Goals: Bets on which participant reaches a target first; bets are void if the condition is not met.
• Winner of Point X / Scorer of Goal X: Bets on which participant scores or wins a defined point/goal metric.

6. In‑Play and Pre‑Match Considerations

• Settlement basis: In general, outcomes are determined by official results; if official sources are unavailable, reliable independent sources may be used; in cases of inconsistency, in‑house statistics may determine settlement.
• Playtime and format: The format and duration of the event influence whether markets are considered active at certain times; some formats may lead to voiding of unsettled bets if they fall outside the defined time windows.
• In‑play data: Where live data is incomplete or disputed, the operator may suspend or void settlements as permitted by these rules and regulatory requirements.

7. Outright Markets and Play‑or‑Pay

• Outright markets: Bets on final standing or progression in a competition may remain active where allowed; the operator may apply Play‑or‑Pay, in which case bets stand as‑is regardless of participant availability, subject to the mode described for each market.
• Play‑or‑Pay applicability: H2H (head‑to‑head) markets may be excluded from Pay/Play rules; team or participant replacements may not alter settlement in team markets while certain individual markets may be voided if affected by replacement.

8. Postponements, Cancellations, Abandonment and Disruptions

• Abandonment or suspension: If an event is abandoned or not completed within a reasonable window, unsettled bets may be voided and stakes refunded, unless the rules specify otherwise for a market.
• Postponements: If the start of an event is postponed beyond a defined threshold, affected bets may be voided unless settlement conditions are preserved by the market description.
• Venue or schedule changes: Significant changes to venue or playing conditions may lead to voiding of affected bets, unless a prior market description provides a different settlement approach.
• VAR and officiating: If a Video Assistant Referee decision contradicts the on‑field decision and affects available markets, bets placed during the interval may be voided to preserve market integrity, unless the odds and settlements for the affected bet remain unaffected.

9. Disputes, Complaints and Protests

• Protests: Any claims or protests regarding bets must be submitted within a defined period after the event or bet start time, or as specified in market terms; late submissions may be denied.
• Resolution: The operator may request supporting information and will evaluate claims in accordance with these rules and applicable law; outcomes are final subject to regulatory oversight.

10. Data, Transparency and General Notices

• Official results: Settlement uses the official results from the competition or governing body; where unavailable, the operator may rely on validated independent sources or internal statistics in accordance with these rules.
• Record keeping: The Sikwin sportsbook maintains records of bets, settlements, and any re‑settlements; customers may access relevant information in their account history.
• Changes and updates: The operator may amend these Rules and betting offers to comply with changes in law, licensing requirements, or market integrity considerations, without prior notice where permitted by applicable law.
• Responsible conduct: Customers are expected to comply with local laws and to bet responsibly; the operator provides tools and information to support responsible gambling.
