General Betting Rules on the Platform

Eligibility to Place Bets

Only registered users with a verified account and sufficient account balance are permitted to place bets. Users must be 18 years of age or older. Parimatch reserves the right to request proof of age or identity at any stage.

Bet Acceptance Procedures

All bets are subject to acceptance by Parimatch. A bet is considered accepted only upon confirmation from the system.

Bet Limits

Limit Type Details

Maximum bet Determined by odds, event type, and account status
Maximum payout Subject to platform-wide caps per bet or per event

Limits may vary by event, sport, or game type and are subject to change without prior notice.

Calculation of Wins and Losses

Winnings are calculated by multiplying the accepted stake by the applicable odds at the time the bet was placed. In the event of a void or cancelled bet, the original stake is returned to the user's account. Payouts are credited to the user's registered account balance following the official confirmation of results.

Betting Restrictions

Parimatch may impose restrictions on specific users, bet types, or events at its discretion. Restrictions may be applied in the following circumstances:

Cancellation Policy

Bets already confirmed by the system cannot be cancelled by the user unless explicitly stated otherwise in the specific game or event rules. Parimatch may cancel or void a bet if:

  • An event is abandoned or postponed without resumption within the stipulated period.
  • A technical error results in incorrect odds being displayed.
  • Fraudulent activity is detected in connection with the bet.

Identity Verification (KYC)

In line with applicable regulatory requirements, users are required to complete identity verification before processing withdrawals or when requested by the platform. The following documents may be requested:

  • Government-issued photo identification (Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport, or voter ID)

Anti-Money Laundering Policy

Legal Obligations

Parimatch operates under strict Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Financing of Terrorism (CFT) obligations. The platform is committed to preventing the use of its services for any unlawful financial activity, including money laundering, fraud, or the financing of criminal operations.

Breach of the platform's AML policy may result in the following actions:

  • Temporary suspension of the account pending investigation.
  • Freezing of funds held within the account.
  • Permanent account closure.
  • Referral to appropriate legal or regulatory authorities.
