What Happens If a Match Is Interrupted on 1xBet?

At some point every bettor backs a game that doesn't make it to the end. A match can be abandoned for many reasons: dangerous weather, a security or crowd incident, or an injury in a one-on-one sport such as boxing, MMA or tennis. Whatever the trigger, 1xBet settles the affected bets by clear rules, and knowing them in advance removes the guesswork. This guide explains how interrupted and cancelled matches are settled, for players in Korea betting on the site or the 1xBet mobile app.

The default rule: settlement at odds of 1

For any sports bet on a cancelled match, the standard result is settlement at odds of 1. The odds on your chosen market are changed to 1.00 and the selection is marked as settled. Because your stake is multiplied by that number, odds of 1 leave it unchanged, and the amount is returned to your balance in full. Simply put, a cancelled selection returns your stake instead of counting as a win or a loss.

The 48-hour rule

Almost everything here hinges on timing. Under 1xBet's rules, a match is regarded as not having taken place if it is not resumed within 48 hours of being interrupted, so a stoppage usually means waiting up to two days for a resolution.

One exception matters. If an official source confirms the match will continue from the precise point it was halted, your existing bets stand. The same 48-hour window still governs it, however — the match must restart within that time, or the bets are voided and stakes refunded.

How much of a game must be played to count?

Cancellation rules vary by sport. Most follow the 48-hour rule, yet each discipline sets its own threshold for when a game is treated as "completed".

Football and ice hockey

In these team sports, a full cancellation returns your stake, and so does a game that isn't resumed within 48 hours. Beyond that:

• Football is deemed complete once at least 70 minutes (in some cases 60) have been played. If play stops in the second half, first-half bets — first-half total, first-half shots on target, first-half winner — are treated as settled.

• Ice hockey works identically, except a game counts as complete after 50 of the 60 regulation minutes. Bets on earlier periods still stand when a match is called off in the second or third.

The same rules apply to live betting and to bets placed in the app.

Tennis: retirements and weather delays

Tennis is handled quite unlike team sports. A match can span several days: if it is suspended for darkness or weather, it is finished the following day or at the earliest chance, and the 48-hour rule does not apply.

Retirements are decided by timing:

• If a player withdraws before the match starts, all stakes are refunded.

• If the match is halted, or a player retires before the first set is complete, stakes are refunded as well.

• Once the first set has been played in full, though, a retirement means 1xBet treats the match as finished. The retiring player takes a technical loss, so bets on them to win lose and bets on the opponent win, while markets such as set totals and handicaps are voided and refunded.

Basketball and esports

Basketball follows the same pattern as football and hockey, except that 28 or 35 minutes must be played for the match to count, depending on the league. Quarter markets settle for the quarters that finished.

Esports brings the added risk of technical faults, such as connection or server failures. If a game is postponed beyond 48 hours, the stake is returned. But if it has already started, any market whose outcome was fully decided still stands — for example, a bet on the first opponent character eliminated (first frag).

Singles, accumulators and systems

A cancellation affects each bet type in its own way, so odds of 1 behaves differently in an accumulator than in a single.

• Single. If the match is ultimately cancelled (or postponed by more than 48 hours), your full stake is returned.

• Accumulator. When one event is cancelled, its odds are recalculated as 1. The bet remains live, but the accumulator is settled without that leg.

• System. As with an accumulator, the system stays active, and in each combination containing the cancelled match, that selection's odds change to 1.

A postponement is not a loss: a single stake is returned, and in combined bets the affected leg simply turns neutral.

Here's a quick example. Back three matches at 1.8, 2.0 and 2.5 for a combined price of 9.0, and a ₩20,000 stake would return ₩180,000. If the third match (at 2.5) is cancelled, its value becomes 1, the accumulator becomes 1.8 × 2.0 × 1 = 3.6, and the same ₩20,000 returns ₩72,000.

What to do if your match is interrupted

When an official source reports that a game has been stopped, work through these steps:

1. Avoid placing new bets — your slip is frozen until its status updates.

2. Wait for status updates, as it matters whether the match resumes within 48 hours, is cancelled outright, or is rescheduled.

3. If it's only a brief postponement within two days, your slip stays active.

4. Note the minute play was stopped and which markets had already been decided, since both affect settlement.

5. Wait for a replay or a refund. If the game is cancelled rather than resumed or ruled complete, the selection is set to odds of 1 — dropping out of an accumulator, or returning your single stake soon after.

If you hit any problem with a refund, log in and contact support with your slip number and a screenshot, and they'll help you resolve it.
