Betfred - Bet Rules

Specific Terms – Important terms applying to our Football bets

Our general Terms and Conditions (click here) apply to our Football bets in addition to the Specific Terms below. Please note that if there is any conflict between the Specific Terms and our general Terms and Conditions, these Specific Terms will take precedence.

Are there any specific rules which apply to particular types of Football bets. Yes, we have set these out in “Specific Football Betting Rules” (please click for further detail).
What is the maximum payout on Football bets. The maximum pay-out which applies to a Football bet is:
- £1,000,000 – for all Main European and UK Leagues (i.e. English Premiership, Championship, League 1 and League 2, Scottish Premier League, Champions League, La Liga Primera, Serie A, Bundesliga 1 and Ligue 1), FA Cup, English League Cup and International Matches and Competitions.
- £100,000 – for Scottish Leagues Championship, 1 and 2, Europa League and National Cup Competitions belonging to the Main European and UK Leagues.
- £50,000 – For Minor Leagues and Domestic Trophies not mentioned above.
- £10,000 – For all Australian Leagues.
Please note that the maximum pay-out may be lower where you have placed bets on other events. Please see our general Rules and Limits area for more details.

The limits are applied as follows:
- They represent the maximum you can win in a day
- Where your Football bet is part of a multiple or accumulator bet, the maximum you can win will be the lowest maximum payout for any of the bets which make up the multiple or accumulator bet. For example, you place a double consisting of 1 Football and 1 Novelty selection. The maximum amount payable on the bet will be equal to the maximum Novelty payout.
We limit certain combinations of bets. For example:
1. related contingencies where the outcome of one market/event directly influences the price or outcome of another, i.e. Manchester United to win the last match of the Premier League season and Manchester United to win the Premier League, or Novak Djokovic to win his Wimbledon semi final match and Novak Djokovic to win Wimbledon.
2. Any other combinations are set out in the Rules.
Please note: We are not always able to stop you playing a game or placing bets which will lead you to exceed these limits but where we are able to we will and where we are not then these limits will apply in any event.
Do you have to use the betslip we provide. You must complete our betslips with the following information:
1. the event you wish to bet on,
2. the outcome of the event that you wish to bet on, and
3. the stake you wish to place.
Why do we show estimated returns. For any bet that you wish to place, we provide an estimate of how much your stake would make at the price/odds shown on the betslip at that time. However, this is for information only and the price/odds are subject to change and are only fixed when we provide you with confirmation of our acceptance of your bet.
What happens if the price/odds change before we accept your bet. Where this happens, the price and return information will change on your betslip and you will be asked if you want to accept and place the bet or not. If you would like to automatically accept such price/odds changes, you can set a preference in your account to automatically accept odds if they are better.

We may also make an option available to you to automatically accept all changes. If we do this and you choose this option, then please note that you are agreeing to accept the changes whether they are in your favour or not.

This preference setting will work for all sports bets added to your betslip (including any ‘in-play’ bets) but does not work on any Lotto, Totepool or Virtual bets.
How do you know if we have accepted your bet. When we accept your bet:
1. we will provide you with a confirmation message on your betslip,
2. we will confirm this in your ‘Bet History’, and
3. we will give you a bet reference number.
If you do not see the confirmation and have nothing in your ‘Bet History’ then your bet has not been accepted by us. Please contact our customer service team if you would like to understand why it has not been accepted.
What happens if there is a ‘void’ selection or a ‘non-runner’ in your bet on multiple events (accumulator). We will remove the ‘void’ selection or ‘non-runner’ and your stake will be placed on the remaining selections (i.e. a triple will become a double or a double will become a single, and so on). We will also adjust your estimated return and deposit balance accordingly.
What results do we use when settling our bets. It is important to us that we use reliable sources when settling the bets we offer. We will often check a number of different sources. If these sources differ, there may be a slight delay while we seek confirmation of the result. Where we use a specific source, we will mention it in the Rules.
What happens if a winner is disqualified or a decision is amended after the result is confirmed. The disqualification or amendment will not change the result for the purposes of settling the bet.
What if we accept a bet after the event has started. If a bet is inadvertently accepted by us after the event has started (unless placed on a live ‘in-play’ or ‘in-running’ market) the bet will only stand provided that:
1. the outcome is not known; and
2. no team/participant has gained any advantage (e.g., a goal being scored or a player being sent off).
If the outcome is known, or an advantage deemed to have been gained, we will void any bets taken in error.

If a bet is accepted by us after the start of an event, and the ‘in-play’ market reflects a price for that market, the ‘in-play’ price at the time of acceptance will deem the bet ‘valid’ and the bet will be settled accordingly. If there is not an ‘in-play’ market, and the bet is accepted after the start of the event (including any ‘grace’ time), the bet will be deemed ‘void’ and stakes returned.
Cash-out opportunities. Where this option is made available on your bet, it will give you the opportunity to settle your bet early at the value displayed, without having to wait for the event to finish. Please note that this is not available on all bets. Full details of how this operates is set out within the Cash Out FAQs area.
What happens where two or more of your selections ‘dead heat’. Where two of your selections dead heat (i.e. finish at the same time), half the stake money is lost and the full odds paid on the other half of the stake money. If more than two of your selections dead heat the stake is proportioned accordingly. If two of your selections dead heat for second (or third) place then those selections are deemed to have finished joint second and third (or joint third and fourth) etc., with place bets being settled accordingly.
What is a Rule 4(c) deduction and when is it applied. This rule comes from horseracing and the Tattersalls Committee Rules on Betting.
1. For our horseracing bets, the Tattersalls Committee Rules will apply unless we make clear in the Rules that this is not to be the case in any particular circumstances.
2. For all other bets, we may apply the equivalent of a Rule 4(c) deduction where a selection is withdrawn from the event before it has started.
