The term ROI
The return on investment (ROI) is a percentage that indicates the profitability or loss of a player, taking into account the total amount of stakes. The more bets are made, the harder it is to keep a high ROI. ROI = net profit / total stake amount * 100
Prizes coloured in grey and red
Some prize money is displayed in grey in the ranking. This means that the player has not entered his PayPal address and his position will not be taken into account for the prize money payout at the end of the month. If the prize money is indicated in red, the prize will be paid out to the PayPal wallet.
Minimum and maximum stake
The minimum stake is 10 cents (¢). The maximum stake depends on the bet and sport type. These rules help us to proceed against unfair players since our betting contest is all about fun, fairness and competition.
Events that participate in the betting contest
The selection of events and matches on which bets are accepted is chosen according to certain rules and our algorithm. You can currently bet on most football and tennis events.
No geographical restrictions for players
Comparing to real bookmakers who only accept players from certain countries, our betting contest is accessible to anybody no matter where they live. Register in a few minutes and discover the world of our betting contest!
Playing with multiple accounts
A player is allowed to have only one account on our website. A violation of this rule results in immediate and total exclusion from the site and suspension of the player in the betting contest. Do not try to create a second account through a proxy, VPN or other means. You risk losing all your accounts at once.
Number of virtual cents (¢) per month
All players obtain 1000 virtual cents (¢) every month to bet on. Each month, the betting contest is completely independent from the previous ones.
Monthly balance reset
Your balance decides your position in the ranking at the end of each month. This balance will not be transferred to the next month. This rule allows all new players to have equal chances in the betting contest as those who have been playing on our website for a long time. 1000 cents (¢) are available to every player each month which reinitiates a new monthly battle for prizes.
A new month starts according to the UTC time zone
The start of the monthly betting contest is defined according to the UTC time zone. You can check your offset to the UTC time zone at the top right of each page.
Betting on games that start next month
If you bet on a game that starts in another month, the virtual cents (¢) of that month will be debited from your account. A simple example of a single bet: your balance is 500 ¢ in January and 1000 ¢ in February. You place a bet on January 25 with a 100 ¢ stake on a game that starts on February 3. After placing the bet, your January balance will remain at 500 ¢ while the February balance will be decreased to 900 ¢. In the case of a combination bet, the date of the last match defines from which month’s balance the cents will be debited.
Additional daily 50 ¢ in the balance
All players additional obtain 50 ¢ daily, so that they can continue to play in the betting contest even in case of a loss of all their cents.
Placement of live bets
You can place live bets in the same way as pre-match bets. This can be done either in any match page or in the live odds page. A live bet is marked with the icon LIVE in the bet slip. Please keep in mind that the live odds may change very often (every 15 to 30 seconds).
A game is blocked and no bets are accepted
This can happen during a match when a specific action is taking place that may directly affect the bet outcome (for example, a goal is scored, a free kick or a penalty are awarded, etc.). Usually you have to wait a few seconds or minutes and the odds should be open for betting again.
Q How are the bets settled?
A Usually bets are automatically settled a few minutes after the final whistle. In some cases, for example, if the game is postponed or cancelled, the bets are settled manually by our support team. This can take from a few minutes to several hours.
Q How can I check the outcome of my bet?
A You can find all settled and unsettled bets in the “My Bets” page. There, you will see if you have won your bet and how many virtual cents (¢) you have exactly won or lost.
Q I have placed my bet by mistake. Can I still cancel it?
A You can not cancel a bet in the betting contest. The click on "Place Bet" means that you have made your final decision. If you are unsure about your choice, you can save your betting slip without placing it as described here.
Q My bet was settled incorrectly. What should I do?
A Please contact us immediately, specify the number of the bet and describe the problem as detailed as possible.
Q My bet was canceled. Why?
A A bet can be canceled for several reasons. On the one hand, this can happen if a game has not been played till the end or if it has been postponed to a later time. On the other hand, a bet can be canceled if our admin team consider that the bet has been placed in an unfair way (such as a live bet immediately after a goal). If you disagree with this decision, please contact us and we will review your case in details.
Q Can there be mistakes in the betting lines?
A
Together with our partners, we try to display the start time, statistics and odds of all games as correctly as possible. Unfortunately, mistakes cannot always be avoided. Our team therefore reserves the right to correct any obvious mistakes and to settle bets as following:

- if a pre-match bet has been placed after the actual start of an event, it is considered as invalid regardless of the result
- if a pre-match or live bet has been placed with an “incorrect” odd, it will be considered as invalid regardless of the outcome of the event. The term “incorrect” odd is determined by the ODDS.am team.
Q How are interrupted and cancelled events settled?
A
If an event is interrupted, we may still consider it as a finished one and settle the correspondent bets with following conditions: football matches must be played no less than 60 minutes, hockey - not less than 45 minutes, tennis - not less than a full set, basketball - not less than 35 minutes.

An interrupted event that has not been completed within 5 hours can be declared as invalid by our team. All bets on this game will be refunded except for those whose outcome was already known (e.g. a bet on the first goal or the total of the goals in the first half).

If a game is postponed for more than 48 hours, all bets on that game will be void.
Q How are boxing and MMA bets settled?
A

We do accept boxing and MMA bets on the following types of bet only: 2 way (cents back in case of a draw), 3 way, double chance and under/over bets on completely finished rounds. This means that in case of a KO in round 3 for example, the number of rounds in this fight would be 2.

If a fight does not take place, the bets will be settled with a 1.0 odd.

Q How are volleyball bets settled?
A Bets on handicaps, under/over and even/odd in volleyball matches are settled on the number of points won by the teams. For example, if a team A has won 3:1 (25:20, 20:25, 25:20, 25:20), it means that this team has scored 10 points more than its opponent. The total amount of points would be 180 in this case. A bet on even would also be a winning one in this example.
