General Betting Rules

  • Eligibility to place bets
    • Only verified users who meet age and legal requirements may place bets. You must have sufficient cleared funds in your account.
  • Bet acceptance and settlement
    • A bet is accepted when it appears in your betting history with a unique ID and confirmed odds. Pre-match and in-play markets may be offered; delays can occur.
    • Settlements are based on official event results from governing bodies. If official sources correct results within 72 hours, settlements may be adjusted.
  • Minimums, maximums, and limits
    • Minimum stake and maximum potential payout vary by market and may change. Limits may apply per bet, per market, per event, or per account to manage risk.
  • Odds, price changes, and errors
    • Odds can change before acceptance. If a palpable error occurs, affected bets may be settled at the correct odds, or voided.
  • Voids, cancellations, and postponements
    • If an event is postponed or abandoned and not completed within the period stated in market rules, bets may be void. Market-specific rules prevail.
    • Bets placed after an outcome is known are void. In the case of obvious line or feed delays, we may cancel or adjust in-play bets.
  • Cash-out and partial settlement
    • Where available, cash-out values are not guaranteed and may be withdrawn during suspensions or rapid price moves. Cash-out constitutes final settlement of that bet portion.
  • Multiples, system bets, and related contingencies
    • Multiples cannot combine markets where outcomes are related unless expressly allowed. If accepted in error, the bet may be adjusted to the highest valid combination or voided.
  • Responsible market conduct
    • Market rules on cards, corners, player props, overtime, and tie-breaks specify how outcomes are graded. Read market descriptions before placing bets.
  • Example
    • If a football match is postponed for 48 hours and the market rules require completion within 36 hours, all unsettled bets on that event are void and stakes returned.

Payment Rules

  • Funding your account
    • Supported methods are shown in the cashier and may include cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, and USDT. Availability, limits, and fees depend on your location and payment provider.
    • A minimum deposit applies per method. Network fees for blockchain transactions may be incurred.
  • Withdrawals
    • Withdrawals are paid back to a source method where feasible. For crypto, payouts are sent to the address you provide; use care to ensure the network matches the asset.
    • Processing times vary due to security checks and network confirmation. Typical timeframes range from minutes to 72 hours after approval.
  • Verification and security checks
    • Before processing withdrawals, we may request KYC information such as government ID, proof of address, payment ownership, and source-of-funds documentation.
    • We may split payments, impose daily or monthly limits, or place a hold to complete AML reviews.
  • Limits and fees
    • Minimum and maximum transaction amounts apply per method. Internal fees, if any, appear in the cashier prior to confirmation. Blockchain fees are borne by the user.
  • Transaction restrictions
    • Third-party deposits are not allowed. We may refuse transfers from mixers, tumblers, or high-risk services. Using the services for commercial payments is prohibited.
  • Cancellations and reversals
    • Deposits are final once confirmed on the network. Withdrawal requests can be canceled while pending. After processing starts, requests cannot be reversed.
  • Currency and exchange
    • Account balances may be held in supported units. If conversion is required, rates are based on the provider at the time of processing. Volatility risk rests with you.
  • Bonuses and wagering use
    • Where a bonus is active, wagering requirements and game or bet contribution rates apply. Attempts to bypass wagering rules may lead to bonus removal and winnings confiscation.

Responsible Gambling

  • Commitment to safer betting
    • Gambling should be recreational. You should set limits, manage time, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
  • Player protection tools
    • Deposit limits, loss limits, wager limits, and session time reminders can be configured in your account where available.
    • Cooling-off periods and self-exclusion options are offered to restrict access for defined durations. Account reactivation follows a waiting period and confirmation checks.
    • Reality checks and activity history help you read and review your behavior.
  • Self-assessment
    • Indicators of risk include chasing losses, using funds meant for bills, or betting after negative life events. Consider a self-test and reduce use if risk signs appear.
  • External support in Japan
    • Gamblers Anonymous Japan provides peer support meetings.
    • Gambling Therapy offers multilingual online help and counseling.
    • Medical support for addiction is available through national addiction centers and local clinics in Japan.
  • Financial safeguards
    • Consider blocking tools, card gambling blocks, or separate finances to reduce harm. Requests to adjust limits may take effect immediately or after a cooling period.

  • Legal and regulatory obligations
    • The operator implements AML and counter-terrorist financing controls consistent with its licensing requirements and applicable international standards.

    • Enhanced due diligence may apply to high-risk profiles, PEPs, or large transaction volumes.
  • Monitoring and detection
    • Automated and manual systems monitor deposits, withdrawals, bets, and bonuses for patterns such as rapid cycling, structuring, and third-party funding.
