If the home and away team for a listed match are reversed, then bets placed based on the original listing will be void.

 All bets will have no action unless the full match time is completed.

Whenever a basketball match is officially postponed or suspended, all the related bets will remain valid if the event takes place and is completed within midnight (WAT) of the day following the date originally set for the match.

If basketball match finishes 20-0 by Officials decision all bets will be void.
