Intellectual Property Rights

All content, trademarks, logos, software, and materials on our platform are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works without our express written permission. Your use of our services does not grant you any ownership rights to our intellectual property.

Liability Limitations

We provide our services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. While we strive to maintain uninterrupted service, we do not guarantee continuous, error-free operation. We are not liable for:

• Technical failures, interruptions, or delays
• Loss of data or unauthorised access to your account
• Decisions made based on information provided through our services
• Third-party actions or content

Our total liability to you for any claims arising from your use of our services shall not exceed the amount you have deposited into your account during the preceding three months.

All bets placed on our platform are subject to these general regulations. You must understand and accept these rules before participating in any betting activities. We reserve the right to refuse, limit, or void any bet that violates these terms or appears suspicious.

Eligibility and Account Requirements

To place bets on our platform, you must:

• Maintain an active, verified account in good standing
• Have sufficient funds in your account balance
• Comply with all applicable laws regarding online betting in India
• Not be self-excluded or restricted from betting activities

Bet Acceptance and Confirmation

A bet is considered accepted only when you receive confirmation through our system. Until confirmation is received, no bet is valid. We reserve the right to reject any bet without providing a reason. Rejected bets will not be deducted from your account balance.

Confirmation includes:

• A unique bet reference number
• Details of the event, selection, and odds
• Stake amount and potential returns
• Timestamp of bet placement

Betting Limits and Restrictions

We establish minimum and maximum betting limits for different markets and events. These limits may vary based on:

• Sport or game type
• Specific event popularity and liquidity
• Your account history and status
• Risk management considerations

Minimum stake: ₹10 per bet (subject to change)
Maximum stake: Varies by market and event
Maximum potential winnings: Subject to platform limits

Odds and Winnings Calculation

Odds displayed at the time of bet placement determine your potential returns. We use decimal odds format as standard. Your winnings are calculated by multiplying your stake by the decimal odds, minus the original stake amount.

Example: A ₹100 bet at odds of 2.50 returns ₹250 (₹150 profit + ₹100 stake)

Odds may fluctuate before an event begins. The odds confirmed in your bet receipt are final and will not change, regardless of subsequent market movements.

Bet Settlement and Results

Bets are settled based on official results as determined by the relevant governing body or authoritative source. Settlement typically occurs:

• Shortly after event conclusion for most markets
• After official confirmation for results requiring verification
• According to specific market rules for special circumstances

If an event is abandoned, postponed, or cancelled, bets may be voided and stakes returned, unless specific market rules state otherwise.

Bet Cancellation and Amendments

Once a bet is confirmed, you cannot cancel or amend it. We reserve the right to void bets in circumstances including:

• Obvious pricing errors or technical malfunctions
• Events affected by manipulation or integrity concerns
• Violation of these terms and conditions
• Duplicate or erroneous bets caused by system errors

Voided bets are treated as though they never existed, with stakes returned to your account.

Maintaining the highest security standards is our priority. We employ comprehensive technical and organisational measures to protect your account, personal information, and financial transactions from unauthorised access, fraud, and cyber threats.

Platform Security Infrastructure

Our platform operates on a secure, multi-layered security architecture:

Encryption and Data Protection:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmission between your device and our servers
• Encrypted storage for sensitive data including passwords and financial information
• Secure socket layer certificates verified by trusted certificate authorities
• End-to-end encryption for payment transactions
• Regular encryption key rotation and management

Network Security:

• Advanced firewalls protecting against unauthorised access
• Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection systems
• Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS)
• Network segmentation isolating critical systems
• Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments

Application Security:

• Regular security patches and software updates
• Web application firewalls (WAF) filtering malicious traffic

Account Security Measures

Your account is protected through multiple security layers:

Authentication Systems:

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
We strongly recommend enabling 2FA, which adds an extra security layer by requiring:

To enable 2FA:

1. Access your account security settings
2. Select two-factor authentication option

4. Verify the setup with a test code

Once enabled, you will need both your password and verification code to access your account, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorised access even if your password is compromised.
