Every sports bettor has seen and knows the frustration of having a match they were betting on postponed. After an event is postponed, the first reaction after learning is to question what happens if a match is postponed in Betway.
The good news is, if a match is postponed in Betway or a postponed match is not rescheduled within 24 hours, your bets will be voided, and your stake will be returned. However, the speed at which an event is rescheduled and the return of a voided bet often result from the sports type. For soccer matches, rescheduling can take weeks, whereas other sports like baseball are rescheduled much sooner.
However, we will explain in greater detail the most common reasons why matches are postponed and what happens to your bet if Betway postpones a match.
Why are Matches Postponed?
The responsibilities of sports organizations to ensure that matches maintain the highest integrity dictates that, at times, matches may need to be postponed. The reasons why matches are postponed can be for a wide variety of reasons, but generally, they are related to bad weather or other professional commitments, such as a scheduled competition.
In addition, matches have been known to be postponed due to security concerns relating to a threat against a team or player, and may even include the injury or death of a player or government official.
What Happens to My Bets If Betway Postponed a Game?
In the event match is postponed, Betway will treat the match as a non-runner and notify you the event was postponed and that your bet has been voided. However, if an event is rescheduled within seven days, the bet will stand for 24 hours unless cancelled by Betway. To check to see if a bet was voided due to postponement, check your “My Bets” section and review your betting history.
Free Bets on Postponed Matches
If you used a free bet for a match that was postponed, your free bet would be refunded and credited to your Betway account. You will then be free to use your free bet on an upcoming event, or if the bet was for a specific match, you would have to wait to use your free bet until the event is rescheduled.
Mutibets on Postponed Matches
While a single bet on a game postponed by Betway will result in the return of your stake, a multibet bet will be treated differently. In this situation, your multibet will stand, and Betway will recalculate the winnings without the odds for the postponed match.
For example, you had four selections in your multibet, and the odds were Bayern (2.0), Man City (1.50), Leicester FC (1.75) and Liverpool (1.50). If the Bayern match were postponed, the recalculated odds for your multibet would be 3.94 (1.50×1.75×1.50). To determine the potential payout, you would multiply your bet by the recalculated odds.
Betway Win Boost Postponed Matches
A Betway Win Boost bet whereby a game is postponed will result in Betway recalculating the extra winnings on the remaining events. For example, if you were due an 8% boost on six selections, the win boost percentage would be recalculated based on five events versus six.
Match Postponed Before the Final Whistle
If a match is postponed or cancelled before the final whistle, Betway will settle any results that were already determined, and all others will be cancelled, and punters are free to use their returned bets on future betting opportunities.
Betway Build A Bet Postponed Match
A Betway Build a Bet is a multi-bet that combines multiple single events under one betslip. If one event is postponed, the bet will be cancelled, and the staked amount will be forfeited. The reason for this is the payout is based on the accumulative odds, and therefore, one event’s postponement means the other singles receive the same fate.
Bet types
If a bet type had not been determined at the time of postponement, the amount staked will be returned. However, in some cases, the outcome of a bet is not possible and will result in the bet being voided and returned.
