Bet settlement is the process of applying an event result to the market rules and updating the bet outcome. The result alone may not answer every case: the market period, official result source and rules for interruptions also matter.
A market may cover full time, a half, a quarter, a set or a named race outcome. Check whether extra time is included and whether the market settles on an official result or a specific event period. Similar labels can have different rules.

Postponed or abandoned events
Sportsbooks apply event-specific rules when a fixture is delayed, abandoned, shortened or rescheduled. Some markets may stand if their outcome is already determined, while others may be void. The rule page for the market is the authoritative reference for the bet.
Check a settled bet
The account bet history shows the settled status and any return. If a result appears inconsistent with the market rules, use the operator's account support route and include the bet reference without sharing a password or security code.
