These game rules are effective from 11th August 2023. All previous game rules are cancelled.
You can join up until the kickoff of the first game for the first Round for that pot (e.g., Round 1 first game is Burnley vs Man City, 11th August, Friday 20:00). You must have enough money to pay the entry fee or enough free bets to enter the pot. Each pot will have varying fixtures; check the pot info page for full details.
For each individual Round, you must select a team to win! You cannot pick the same team twice; once a team is selected in a previous Round, it becomes unavailable for future Rounds.
âDeadlines: The deadline is determined by the first fixture's kickoff time (e.g., Round 1 starts with Burnley vs. Man City on Friday, 11th August at 20:00).
âMissed Deadlines: If you miss the deadline, the lowest-ranked available team for that Round is automatically selected. However, any *NEW 500 Free Entry Pots, starting from 23rd November 2024, the highest-ranked available team you havenât yet picked will be automatically selected instead.
âResult Determination: The full-time result of a fixture is determined by the score at the end of 90 minutes (+ injury time). Results from Extra Time or Penalty Shootouts will not count.
*Please note that the rule change regarding missed deadlines applies only to ÂŁ500 Free Entry Pots. Be sure to submit your picks before the deadline to maintain full control of your selections!
If your chosen team winsâŚyou survive and are through to the next RoundIf your chosen team loses⌠you have not survived and are eliminated. If your chosen team draws⌠you have not survived and are eliminated. If you go through to the next Round, by choosing a winning team, the next Round selections will open shortly after the previous Round has ended.
Keep an eye on the leaderboard during & after each Round. Look for these symbols:Green Star: đ You won!Green Tick: â Through!Red Cross: â Out this Round.Red Cross (Rx): â Out previously.If all players in a Round pick the same team that loses or draws, the pot gets split. Survive the longest to become the Betmate Survivor Champion! đ
Once you've entered a pot and made your selection for that Round, you can change your selection as often as you like until the deadline for that Round.
You can only deposit funds using a debit card; the use of credit cards is prohibited and will not be processed. Depositing money is only allowed if we have previously confirmed your age and identity.
To enter a game, you must have enough available funds or free bets in your account to cover the entry fee. If you have not paid or confirmed your selection before the game deadline, you will not be permitted to play. Depending on the rules set by the game you are joining, you may be allowed to enter once or multiple times using the same account. Once you've joined a game, you cannot withdraw or cancel your entry fee for any reason.
Betmate charges a flexible admin fee based on the number of participants per pot. The payouts listed in public pots are fixed and will not increase unless stated otherwise by Betmate. Private pots have an admin fee of 0%, and the payout increases by the entry fee for each new entry.
In-play scoring is for the enjoyment of all Betmate customers. However, official scoring only happens once the pot is finalised.Once pots are finalised, pots will move to your âSettled Betsâ section of the app. Occasionally, data providers may change official scores after a pot has been settled on Betmate. These corrections are rare, but can occur.Any changes to official scoring after a pot is settled will not impact pots that have been settled and we will honour payouts that have already been settled. If at any point, you have queries about the data we are receiving from our data provider, please contact support@betmate.app who will be able to help. We use official statistics from Opta for the purposes of our scoring system. We may change third-party providers on occasion without notice.
The winner(s) of a game will be the player(s) who survive the longest by picking a winning team each week. Pot distribution can vary, for example:
âOne Winner: If only one player survives a Round, that player wins all the money in the pot.
âMultiple Winners: If all players pick the same team and that team loses or draws, the pot will be split equally.
You can only withdraw funds to a debit card; withdrawal to a credit card is prohibited. A minimum of ÂŁ20 in your account is required to process a withdrawal.
If a fixture is canceled, postponed, or rescheduled, it will be void from the GW. Betmate's discretion will determine the continuation if more than one fixture is affected. If the Round is voided, players continue to the next Round.
If a fixture is not completed, the Round will be voided for all players, and the pot will resume in the next GW.
A player will only survive a Round when they pick a team that wins their fixture, in 90 mins (+ injury time), in that Round.
The above game rules are subject to change. Betmate reserves the right to change these games rules at any time without prior notice
