Scope: These terms apply to all Betmate Capped Pots. By participating in a Capped Pot, you agree to abide by these terms, as well as our general Terms and Conditions.
Payout Structure: The maximum payout of a Capped Pot hinges on the number of players participating. If the Capped Pot isn't full, the payout will be tailored proportionally at kick-off. We ensure the game remains fun, fair, and adapts to the size of the playing field!
Entry: The entry fee and the maximum number of participants for each Capped Pot can vary. Detailed specifics for each pot will be clearly provided within the pot's description. Once the participant cap is hit, we won't be able to accept more entries.
Adjustments: If fewer than the maximum number of players join a Capped Pot, the payout will be adjusted proportionally. For instance, if a 20-person max Capped Pot, with a £15 payout at a £1 entry fee, only attracts 10 players, the pot will then be adjusted to £10 at kick-off.
Distribution: Payouts are divvied up among winners according to the Betmate payout structure as outlined in the app.
Changes: Betmate reserves the right to amend these terms or to cancel, alter or amend any Capped Pot at any stage if deemed necessary in our opinion, or if circumstances arise outside of our control.
Acceptance: By participating in a Capped Pot, you confirm your understanding and acceptance that the payout can vary depending on the final number of participants.
