What is Void Bet and when is a bet voided or canceled?

If you've done some Sports Betting at Blaze and then found that your bet have been voided, calm down! This doesn't mean that you've lost money or that there's been a mistake. In fact, this situation is more common than it seems and has a name: Void Bet, or simply Canceled Bet.

When a bet is voided, the amount wagered is returned to your account as if nothing had happened. This may occur for various reasons, such as a canceled match, an error in setting the odds or even the non-participation of an athlete in the event. But how do you know when this happens, and what should you do?

In this article, we'll explain everything about Void Bet, from when a bet is canceled at Blaze to the main reasons for this happening. This way, you'll be aware of the rules and can enjoy your sports betting without any worries! 

What is a Void Bet?

A Void Bet happens when a guess is canceled and the amount wagered is returned to the player's account. This can happen for different reasons, such as a suspended match, problems in setting the odds or the absence of a key player in the event. You can bet on Blaze with peace of mind, because when this happens, the money automatically returns to your wallet, without loss!

But beware: it's important to understand that Draw No Bet is not the same as Draw No Bet. Draw No Bet is a specific market that already provides for a refund if the match ends in a draw. In the case of Void Bet, the cancellation is due to external and unexpected factors, not directly related to the type of bet placed.

If your bet is canceled, don't worry, the money simply goes back into your account and you can use it for a new guess. In the next section, we'll explain the main reasons why this can happen at Blaze, so that you're aware of the rules and know when your bet has a chance of being canceled.

When does a bet get voided at Blaze?

A Void Bet can happen for different reasons, and they all follow clear rules, of course, always ensuring that the bets are fair for all players.

Use of third-party or multiple accounts

Each bettor can only have one Blaze account. If it is detected that a player is using multiple accounts or betting for third parties, the bet may be voided and even result in the profile being blocked. The game needs to be fair for everyone, so practices like these go against our rules!

Match played with a different duration or format to that stipulated on the market

For instance, if a match was supposed to be 90 minutes but has been reduced to 60, or a best-of-five-sets tournament has become best-of-three, bets can be voided because the original market conditions have changed. This is because the original format directly influences the odds and the bettor's strategy!

Athlete withdraws or quits before the match

If a player or athlete doesn't take part in the event due to injury, suspension or any other reason, bets directly linked to them can be void. This happens a lot in individual sports, such as tennis and MMA, because the event depends on them and withdrawals can happen before the action.

Technical problems on the platform or error in the market

In the event of a technical failure affecting the betting market or an error in the odds offered, bets may be canceled. This prevents bets from being placed with incorrect odds or on events that shouldn't be available on Blaze.

Suspension or cancellation of the match

If a match is interrupted and not resumed within the time limit stipulated by the rules, bets can be voided. This can happen due to weather factors, structural problems, or even conflicts between players and the organization.

Suspicion of unfair activity

If there is evidence of match-fixing or any irregularity that compromises the integrity of the event, bets may be voided. Blaze follows strict protocols to ensure that bets are placed fairly and transparently!

But rest assured: if your bet is voided for any of these reasons, the amount will be refunded to your account, without loss. Now that you know when a bet can be canceled, just keep an eye on the rules and bet safely!

How does annulment work in Multiple Bets?

If a Single Bet is voided, the amount goes back into your account and that's that. But what happens if one of the guesses in a Multiple Bet is voided?

In such cases, the bet isn't lost, and the entire ticket isn't canceled. What happens is that the Multiple Bet remains valid, but the odd of the annulled event is removed from the final calculation. For example, let's say you placed a Multiple Bet with three selections:

• Bayer Leverkusen beats Bayern Munich: Odd 2.00
• Real Madrid beats Barcelona: Odd 2.50
• Manchester City beats Arsenal: Odd 2.10
• Odd total: 2.00 x 2.50 x 2.10 = 10.50

Now suppose the Real Madrid-Barcelona derby is canceled, and that bet ends up being voided. The ticket remains valid, but the odd for the annulled game (2.50) is removed from the calculation. So the new total Odd calculation would be: 2.00 x 2.10 = 4.20.

This means that your bet is still valid, but the potential return will be adjusted according to the events that are still active. Now that you know how the annulment in Multiples works, you can bet without fear of losing your entire ticket for a single annulled event!
