What Happens If Match Is Abandoned In 1xBet?
Match abandonments occur in sports for various reasons including severe weather, security issues, player injuries, insufficient players, or crowd disturbances. When a match is abandoned, betting platforms like 1xBet must determine how to settle bets already placed on that event. Understanding what happens if match is abandoned in 1xbet helps bettors know their stake fate and bet settlement process in such situations.
Settlement Rules for Abandoned Matches on 1xBet
When a match is abandoned on 1xBet, the settlement depends on several factors: when the abandonment occurred, which sport is involved, and whether the match resumes within a specified timeframe. Different sports have different rules, but general principles apply across most cases.
Football abandoned match rules: If a football match is abandoned before completion, bets are typically void unless the match resumes and completes within 48 hours from the original kickoff time. When bets are voided, your stake returns to your account automatically. The odds become 1.00, meaning you receive back what you wagered but earn no profit or loss.
For example, if you bet ₹1,000 on Manchester United to win at odds 2.20 and the match is abandoned at halftime due to heavy rain, your bet becomes void. You receive ₹1,000 back to your balance. If the match resumes and completes the next day within the 48-hour window, the original bet remains active and settles based on the final result. If United wins after resumption, you receive ₹2,200 as originally calculated.
The 48-hour rule is crucial. If officials decide to replay the match from scratch three days later, your original bet voids. The rescheduled match is treated as a new event requiring new bets.
Tennis abandoned match settlement: Tennis has stricter abandonment rules. If a player retires during a match, settlement depends on the specific market. Match winner bets typically require the match to complete for proper settlement. When a player retires, bets on the opponent who advances usually win, while bets on the retired player lose. However, markets like "total games in match" or "set betting" may void if the match does not complete.
Cricket abandoned match rules: Cricket matches, particularly limited-overs formats, have specific over requirements for bet settlement. If an ODI is abandoned before a minimum number of overs are bowled (usually 20 overs per side for 50-over matches), match winner bets become void. For Test cricket, matches must reach certain stages (often first innings completion) for some markets to settle. If abandoned before those stages, affected bets void and stakes return.
Rain-affected cricket matches follow Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method sometimes. If enough overs are completed and a result is declared via DLS, bets settle normally based on that official result. Only matches abandoned before meeting minimum requirements void.
Impact on accumulator bets: When one leg of an accumulator is voided due to match abandonment, that selection receives odds of 1.00. The accumulator continues with remaining legs at recalculated total odds. If you had a four-leg accumulator with combined odds of 12.00 and one match is abandoned, it effectively becomes a three-leg accumulator with lower combined odds excluding the void event.
For example, a four-leg accumulator with odds 2.00 × 2.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 17.10. If the second leg (2.50 odds) voids due to abandonment, the new calculation is 2.00 × 1.00 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 6.84. Your potential return drops significantly, but the bet remains active on other legs.
Live betting settlement: Bets placed during live matches before abandonment follow the same voiding rules. If you placed a live bet at halftime and the match is abandoned in the second half without resuming within the timeframe, that live bet also voids and your stake returns.
Specific market exceptions: Some betting markets settle regardless of abandonment if the outcome was already determined. For example, bets on "first goalscorer" or "first team to score" settle if those events occurred before abandonment. If a player scored in the 30th minute and the match abandons at 60 minutes, "first goalscorer" bets on that player win normally.
However, bets on outcomes that had not yet occurred when the match was abandoned typically void. Bets on "player to score anytime" void if that player had not scored before abandonment. Similarly, "over 2.5 goals" bets void if only two goals were scored before abandonment, even though the bet was close to winning.
Conclusion
When matches are abandoned in 1xBet, settlement follows sport-specific rules and depends on when abandonment occurred. Most bets void if matches do not complete within specified timeframes (typically 48 hours for football), automatically returning stakes to bettors' accounts. Markets where outcomes were already determined before abandonment settle normally, while pending outcomes void. Accumulator bets continue with voided selections treated as 1.00 odds.
