This section sets general rules for bets placed on the Betacular platform in India. These rules apply to all betting markets unless specific event rules or sport rules state otherwise.

Eligibility to place bets

• Only verified account holders who meet age and legal criteria may place bets.
• You must be logged into your account and have sufficient real-money balance to cover the stake.
• You may not place bets on behalf of third parties or in coordination as part of a betting syndicate intended to bypass limits.

Bet acceptance and confirmation

• A bet is accepted only after it is registered on Betacular servers and a unique bet reference is generated.
• The bet slip displayed on your screen is an offer; acceptance occurs when the system confirms the bet.
• In the event of dispute about whether a bet was placed or accepted, Betacular records and logs will be treated as final, subject to applicable law.

Odds, stake limits, and payouts

• Odds for any event may change at any time up to start or in-play, according to market conditions.
• Minimum and maximum bets per selection, market, or event may apply and can differ by sport or game.
• Maximum possible winnings per bet or per account over a defined period may be limited according to internal risk rules.
• If a bet is accepted at incorrect odds due to a technical or human error, Betacular may settle the bet at the correct odds or void it, subject to legal requirements.

Calculation of wins and losses

• Winnings are calculated based on the final official result declared by the governing body of the event, unless specific rules state alternative settlement criteria.
• For single bets, payout equals the stake multiplied by the accepted odds, adjusted for rule-based deductions if any, minus the stake where applicable.
• For accumulator bets, payout is based on the combined odds of all winning selections, subject to any maximum win limits.
• Losses are limited to the stakes of your losing bets and any applicable fees disclosed in advance.

Bet settlement and result corrections

• Bets are settled after the event result is confirmed from reliable sources such as official league or tournament data.
• If an event result is changed later by a disciplinary committee or court, Betacular may decide whether to adjust previous settlements according to published rules for that sport or market.
• In case of obvious settlement mistakes, Betacular may re-settle the bets correctly and adjust account balances.

Betting restrictions and void bets

Betacular may restrict or void bets in the following situations:

• Irregular betting patterns suggesting fraud, collusion, or abuse of bonuses.
• Bets placed after the actual start of an event where pre-match betting should have closed.
• Markets affected by obvious technical faults, incorrect team names, odds inversions, or mispriced lines.
• Legal or regulatory directions that require cancellation of certain events or markets.

In such cases, stakes may be returned to your account, subject to legal guidance and internal policies.

Bet cancellation by users

• Once a bet is confirmed, you generally cannot cancel it.
• Betacular may offer cash-out or early settlement features for selected markets. Availability is not guaranteed and can be removed or restricted without prior notice.
• Any bet cancellation initiated by Betacular due to error or regulatory reasons will be reflected in your account transaction history.

Bonuses and free bets

• Use of bonus funds and free bets is subject to specific bonus rules, including wagering requirements, time limits, eligible odds, and event restrictions.
• If bonus abuse is suspected, Betacular may cancel bonuses, void bets from bonus funds, and adjust the account balance.
• You are responsible for reading the bonus terms before using any promotion.

This section sets the rules for deposits, withdrawals, and related payment operations on Betacular for India-based users.

Account funding

• You may fund your account using only payment methods registered in your own name.
• Accepted methods may include UPI, net banking, cards, e-wallets, or other approved channels that comply with Indian payment regulations.
• Betacular may set minimum and maximum deposit amounts per transaction and per day.
• Deposited funds must come from lawful sources and may be used only for legally allowed betting and gaming.

Deposit processing

• Deposits are processed in Indian Rupees or other currencies specified on the platform.
• Standard processing is intended to be near real-time, but delays can occur due to banking systems, network issues, or additional checks.
• Fees, if any, will be shown before you confirm the transaction.

Withdrawal rules

• Withdrawals can be made only to payment methods in your name that have been successfully verified.
• Betacular may require that withdrawals be sent back to the same source used for deposit, subject to technical and regulatory limits.
• Minimum and maximum withdrawal thresholds apply and may differ by method.
• Before processing a withdrawal, Betacular may require completion of Know Your Customer (KYC) checks.

KYC and verification

To meet legal, tax, and anti-money laundering requirements in India, Betacular may request:

• Government-issued identity proof (such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport, voter ID).
• Address proof (such as utility bill, bank statement, or Aadhaar-linked address confirmation).
• Source-of-funds or source-of-wealth information for larger payment volumes.

Failure to provide accurate and valid documents may result in delay, refusal, or reversal of deposits or withdrawals, or in account restrictions.

Transaction monitoring and restrictions

• Betacular monitors deposits, bets, and withdrawals to detect unusual or high-risk patterns.
• Limits may be placed on transaction volumes for new accounts, non-verified profiles, or users under review.
• Betacular may place holds or review flags on specific operations if there is suspicion of fraud, chargebacks, stolen payment data, or breach of legal obligations.

Currency, rounding, and reconciliation

• All account balances, bets, bonuses, and payouts will be recorded in the main account currency that you select, subject to platform availability.
• Minor rounding differences may occur due to currency conversion or decimal handling; such differences do not affect your core legal rights.

Payment reversals and cancellation of operations

• Betacular may reverse or cancel deposits that are not successfully settled by the payment provider, including chargebacks and disputes.
• If a deposit is reversed after bets are placed, Betacular may cancel related bets, adjust balances, or seek recovery of any excess amounts.
• You may request cancellation of a pending deposit or withdrawal only if it has not yet been processed; acceptance of such requests is at the discretion of Betacular and subject to legal limits.

Bonuses, cashback, and financial adjustments

• Any monetary bonus, free bet, or cashback credited to your account is subject to specific conditions published in the promotion rules.
• If bonuses are granted based on error or misuse, Betacular may remove such bonuses and adjust related winnings and account balances.
• You are responsible for understanding tax obligations that may apply to your winnings under Indian income tax law.

Betacular supports responsible use of betting services in India and encourages you to treat bets as entertainment, not as a source of income.

Principles of responsible play

• Only bet money you can afford to lose without affecting essential expenses.
• Set personal limits on time and spending, and do not chase losses.
• Avoid betting when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or strong emotional stress.

Control tools and limits

Betacular may offer the following tools to help you manage your betting behaviour:

• Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can add to your account.
• Loss limits: Set maximum acceptable losses over a period, after which further bets are blocked.
• Session limits: Restrict the amount of time you remain logged in or active on games.
• Reality checks: On-screen reminders at intervals showing time spent and net result.

You can request adjustments to these limits from your profile settings or by contacting support, subject to verification and cooling-off periods where applicable.

Self-exclusion and cool-off

• You may request temporary suspension (cool-off) or longer-term self-exclusion from betting services.
• During self-exclusion, you must not try to create new accounts or bypass the block.
• Betacular will take reasonable steps to enforce self-exclusion across its systems, but you also bear responsibility for respecting your decision.

Identifying problem gambling

Consider seeking help if you:

• Regularly bet more than planned or use credit to fund bets.
• Feel stress, guilt, or anxiety about your betting.
• Neglect family, work, or education because of time spent on gambling.

Support and assistance in India

If you feel that gambling is harming your life or the life of someone close to you, support is available. You may:

• Contact local mental health professionals or counselling centres.
• Approach non-profit organisations or helplines that address addiction and behavioural issues.

Public resources in India are evolving; you can check government health portals, state mental health programmes, or consult your doctor for referrals to specialists in addiction treatment.

Responsible gambling measures do not remove your obligation to pay any valid debts or stakes that you have legally undertaken through the platform.

Betacular is committed to complying with Indian laws and global standards against money laundering and financing of terrorism.

Legal and regulatory obligations

• KYC may include verification of identity, age, address, and ownership of payment instruments.
• Betacular may request updated documents at any time if information appears outdated, inconsistent, or incomplete.

Transaction monitoring and suspicious activity detection

Betacular systems and staff may review transactions and account behaviour to identify:

• Unusual patterns of deposits and withdrawals that do not match normal betting activity.
• Frequent deposits followed by immediate withdrawals without genuine bets.
• Linked accounts or coordinated betting patterns that suggest misuse of the platform.
• Use of payment methods or jurisdictions that present higher risk under AML standards.

Where necessary, Betacular may seek additional information from you, such as:

• Evidence of source of funds or source of wealth.
• Clarification of the purpose of particular payments.

Reporting and cooperation with authorities

• Betacular may file reports or disclosures with competent authorities in India where required by law in relation to suspicious transactions or users.

• Freeze or hold funds pending internal review or law enforcement instructions.
• Refuse deposits or withdrawals until completion of investigations.
• Close the account and, where required, surrender funds to authorities.
