What Happens To My Bet if a Game Is Postponed?<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n If an event has been postponed, it will be considered as a non-starter<\/strong> unless it is played within a time frame specified by the betting site.<\/p>\n\n
\n bet365,<\/strong> for example, consider a postponed match to be a non-starter if it is not played within the same week<\/strong> (ending on Sunday). If a match which is scheduled for a weekend is played on the ensuing Monday, all bets will stand.<\/p>\n\n
\n Unibet,<\/strong> on the other hand, cancel bets<\/strong> placed on postponed matches if a match isn\u2019t played within 12 hours from the original starting time. <\/strong>When a postponed match is cancelled, your placed stake will be returned.<\/p>\n\n
What Happens To My Accumulator if a Game Is Postponed or Cancelled?<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n
\n
When one or more of your accumulator selections have been cancelled<\/strong>, your placed accumulator bet will stand<\/strong>, but with updated odds.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n Essentially, if the event is cancelled or postponed too long, according to the bookies T&Cs, you will be paid out 1\/1 for that selection. You will not lose the entire acca – however, the total odds for the win may be reduced.<\/p>\n\n
\n When an accumulator bet is placed in conjunction with an accumulator offer, the cancellation of one or more selections may play against you.<\/p>\n\n
\n For example, if the conditions of an accumulator offer dictate a minimum of five selections, the cancellation of one event on your placed accumulator bet<\/strong><\/a> will lead to the accumulator insurance being deemed void.<\/p>\n\n
\n Similarly, if you are to receive a 50% winning boost upon placing an accumulator bet with six selections and a 40% boost, upon placing a bet with five selections, the cancellation of one event will lead to receiving a lower boost.<\/p>\n\n
What Is a Cancelled\/Void Bet?<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n A cancelled bet is one which has been effectively declared void, <\/strong>for reasons that we will delve into further in the following section of this guide.<\/p>\n\n
\n When a bet has been cancelled<\/strong>, you will be refunded your stake<\/strong> – the bookmaker<\/strong> in question may send you an email to inform you. If they haven't contacted you, check your Account History to see how your bet has been affected and whether your stake has been returned to your account balance.<\/p>\n\n
\n A cancelled bet in its entirety is declared void,<\/strong> meaning you do not win or lose anything. The only exception to this rule may pertain to free bets<\/strong> (more on this later).<\/p>\n\n
Why Has My Bet Been Cancelled\/Voided?<\/h2>\n \n\n

The most usual reason why a bet is cancelled is that the event on which you have bet has been cancelled or postponed by more than a specified time period.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
How Do Cancelled Bets Affect Free Bets?<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n When you place a wager using a free bet which then gets cancelled, the bookmaker may or may not refund you<\/strong>. If the terms and conditions<\/strong> of a betting site state that free bets which have been voided will not be returned to customers, the only option that you have is to contact customer support <\/strong>to see whether you are eligible for any compensation.<\/p>\n\n
\n bwin,<\/strong> for example, deems free bets invalid <\/strong>in such cases. The same holds true at Unibet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
Cancelled Bets Policies of Leading Betting Sites<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n Most betting sites state that cancelled or voided bets will payout at a rate of 1\/1, or be returned. With an acca, the selection will turn your bet from a treble to a double, a quadruple to a treble, and so on.<\/p>\n\n

3 Tips To Avoid Mistakes on Cancelled Bets<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n In an effort to boil down the most essential points of this guide, we've listed three useful tips below to keep in mind regarding bets on cancelled or postponed events.<\/p>\n\n
\n Always read the terms and conditions<\/strong>: To avoid cancelled bet mishaps, you must carefully\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/li>
\n Take advantage of accumulators<\/strong>: go through the bookmaker's the terms and conditions<\/strong>. This is because different betting sites have varying policies when it comes to free bet cancellations, abandoned matches and postponed matches. What may apply for one may not do so for another.<\/p><\/div><\/li>
\n Keep an eye on the weather<\/strong>: To be on the safe side, look to place bets on events that are not likely to be affected by sudden weather changes. This will reduce the chances of things being called off due to unplayable conditions.<\/p><\/div><\/li><\/ol>\n\n
ThePuntersPage Final Say<\/h2>\n \n\n\n The top UK betting sites<\/a> all have a similar policies regarding non starting, voided, or cancelled bets, though it is always best to read the T&Cs of the site in question beforehand.<\/p>\n\n
\n When a bet is cancelled, however, most bookmakers will return your placed stake in full. In terms of postponed matches, though, operators may have different definitions of the time when the event at hand is considered to be officially cancelled. Meanwhile, free bets are a specific promo, and thus may be an exception to this rule.<\/p>\n\n
