Complaint Regarding Incorrect Match Information


11 months ago

I would like to submit an official complaint regarding a bet I placed on the match between Ruch Chorzow and Warta Poznan, which was played on June 28, 2025.

I placed a bet on the market "Over 2.5 goals", but the match duration was only 2×39 minutes, not the standard 2×45 minutes. There was no indication whatsoever about the shortened match length on the betting site or within the match details.

Had I known that this was not a full-length match, I would never have placed this bet. The match ended 0–0, and the bet was lost, but I believe this was due to incomplete and misleading information provided about the event.

I kindly request:

The bet to be voided and the stake refunded, or

A clear explanation of why the unusual match duration was not disclosed.

From this page you can see clearly that they played only 2×39 min.

Dear Isojii88,

We have betting rules for friendly games, and customer has to know them before placing a bet.
All match markets are based on the outcome at the end of a scheduled 90 minutes play unless contrarily declared. This involves added damage or stoppage time but does not include extra time, time allocated for a penalty shootout, or a golden goal.
Exceptions to this rule apply to friendly matches in which all match markets will be settled based on the final score at the end of the game. This does not depend on whether the full 90 minutes have been played. If the statutory time for a football match differs from 90 minutes, these rules apply.
For example, an 80-minute match also includes overtime and overtime, but not overtime or penalty shootouts, unless otherwise noted. Matches in which the statutory time is less than 45 minutes or more than 120 minutes will be invalid. In the event of unusual periods of time, bets will stand as long as the total statutory match time is between 45 and 120 minutes. If the football match is not completed, winnings will be paid in accordance with article 1.5 of these rules, except for bets placed on “first goal”, “half of the match”, and any other bets on statistics, where the result could not change during the rest of the match.

Voided bet after the match is played
On August 8, 2025, I placed a bet on the 20Bet website on a Finnish U20 football league (P20 Ykkönen) match: U20 Sapa vs. U20 Kontu Ita-Helsinki.

I bet on the 1x2 market, picking option 2, meaning a win for U20 Kontu Ita-Helsinki, with odds of 6.00. I placed multiple bets of €10–€50 each, totaling €500. The match ended 0–4 in favor of U20 Kontu Ita-Helsinki, so my bets won. The bookmaker initially paid the winnings into my account, bringing my balance to €3,000.
The next day, when I checked my account, my balance was only €500, and my bets on that match had been voided. I asked in their live chat why my stake had been refunded, and most likely a bot replied that my stake had been refunded because the match result had been known in advance. I responded that I had placed my bets a day before the match started, so I could not have known the final result. They only replied that the team had made a decision and it could not be changed.

On August 10, 2025, I also sent an email to [email protected] about the matter, but I have not received a reply. Now I am wondering whether it can really be the case that a bookmaker can freeroll my €500 stake by declaring after my winning bets that the match result was fixed, without providing any proof of that. In that case, a bettor would have no chance of winning if the bookmaker refunds the stake from winning bets. Would my stake have been refunded if I had lost the bet—if Sapa U20 had won? I doubt it.
A bookmaker should void bets before the match starts if they intend to do so, not after the match when result is known. Of course, I have no information that the match was fixed, and there has been no news or information anywhere in the media or on the internet suggesting it was, so this seems to be a completely made-up explanation. I placed the bet purely on a hunch, and now I feel cheated. Therefore, I want 20Bet to pay my full winnings, as they rightfully should in this case.
