Why is it Important to Study the Rules of Bookmakers?

Before you finally register, open an account and get access to the services of the bookmaker, each player is required to study the rules of the bookmaker. Only after the client noted that he was acquainted with the user agreement, the office allows him to continue registration. Unfortunately, most players do not read it attentively or do not read at all. Subsequently, this can lead to disputes and misunderstandings with the office, which refers to the failure of players to bookmaker rules. What is important to know when registering in an office?

Bonus from the bookmaker – free cheese in a mousetrap

As a rule, the client is attracted to the office by an introductory bonus. Not having read the conditions of its receipt, the player immediately after receiving starts demanding his accrual, and even cash payments. So carefully read the terms of the bonus wins. If this is a free bet, then you can only withdraw from it. In other cases, the amount of bets must be several times higher than the amount of the bonus and deposit before you can withdraw the bonus in cash. The coefficients of events that are taken into account for obtaining a bonus tend to fluctuate in size from 1.5 to 2.

For the withdrawal of the bonus there may be restrictions not only on the number of bets, but also on time. So the bookmaker protects his finances from the “arb”. Also, carefully study the fees that are charged when withdrawing funds. The amount of commission depends on the type of payment.

Follow the coefficients of the game

When you compare the bookmakers’ offerings to basketball and hockey, look at how the game counts in overtime. Some offices give coefficients only for the time of the main game, and some – with overtime. To avoid misunderstanding and trouble with the administration, clarify this point for yourself before the game starts.

Try to find in the rules of the paragraphs concerning the outcome of unfinished matches. It often happens that the game is not over, and it’s important to know from what minute the outcome will be considered. Such situations are not uncommon in football or tennis. In this case, the match is still considered to be held, and the money will not be returned to you. That’s why read the rules in advance, and do not ask the administration for a refund, because you will not get anything anyway.

Study the additional conditions of the game on the totalisator

Quite often in the offices there are rules that are directed against successful players, although they are filed in a veiled form. For example, the majority of average bookmakers can see such items: refusal to accept a bet, liquidation of an account without explaining the reasons, limiting maxima, etc. Such self-will, the administration justifies by the fact that the player allegedly cheats. The rules can be written that if the office notices the facts of fraud, then it can take all the measures described above against an unscrupulous client. In fact, the office itself is unfair. Even if you are not an infringer, but quite often you win, you automatically become it, since successful players are unprofitable to the bookmaker, and he tries to get rid of them in every possible way. To avoid such unpleasant situations, carefully read the rules and choose reliable bookmakers who will not argue with you for the sake of petty profits and spoil your reputation.

If the bookmaker cheats or does not follow the rules himself, if there are any disputable questions, learn in advance the points of rules related to their resolution. As a rule, the office prescribes in the rules that the bookmaker reserves the last word in resolving disputes. However, in the West, many offices have a membership in international associations that protect the rights of clients. If the bookmaker is in such an organization, his rating is significantly increased, although this status is much obliging. It is better to choose offices that have some status in bookmaker associations: this guarantees reliability and the opportunity to file a complaint with a higher authority.

Do not be lazy to re-read the rules from time to time, not just when registering. This procedure is very useful, as some bookmakers are cunning and periodically modify the rules. This is done so that in case of a disputable issue with the client, it was possible to refer to the rules if the required item was absent from the previous list. The whole trouble is that if the office cheats, to prove that the rules have been changed, the client will not be able to. Therefore, read the rules, at least in time to avoid trouble.

Another reason to read the rules is at least imagine what the bookmaker wants from customers. Sometimes the rules are unimaginable points, which can’t be called an official document. If you have not read the rules when registering, after the disputes arise, you may find that according to the rules of the office you do not have any rights at all, and you have no grounds to complain. For example, some bookmakers write like “we are always right”, “the client has the right to withdraw funds once a year”, “we eliminate the winnings when we want”, “we pay winnings when we want”, “if a dispute arises, we always right “, etc. In fact, these are not rules, but a real arbitrariness, but you actually signed, that you agree and are acquainted when allowed to continue registration. So there’s really nothing to complain about. It is on the negligence of players bookmakers often make money. Do not be irresponsible, because it’s about your own money, which you just can’t see at one “perfect” moment.

So, the importance of getting acquainted with the rules of bookmaker offices is beyond doubt. This is a wonderful opportunity to warn yourself against fraud and misunderstanding. Aware – then, armed. Knowledge of the law and the rules will allow you to be impeccable in your eyes and have every reason to present valid claims to the bookmaker, arguing with his arguments. If you see that the office exposes itself as the absolute owner of your funds and actually legitimizes arbitrariness, do not register with this bookmaker: find a more reliable office, because you are clearly fraudsters.
