Comprehensive Wagering Mechanics and Event Regulations

This document outlines the operational rules and settlement mechanics governing all predictions executed on the platform. A participant is defined as any user who connects their digital wallet to engage with the decentralized liquidity pools. A prediction is a binding cryptographic agreement regarding the outcome of a specific event, where the losing position fulfills its obligation via smart contract execution. The "Line" refers to the comprehensive list of sporting and non-sporting events, complete with their respective odds, offered for interaction. The "Outcome" is the final, verified result of said event.

By utilizing our protocol, you acknowledge and agree to abide strictly by these operational guidelines. All transactions are facilitated exclusively through blockchain technology. Once a transaction is confirmed on the ledger, the rules in place at the exact moment of execution apply, regardless of subsequent updates to this document.

General Operational Terms

Our primary function is to provide a decentralized gateway for participants to predict the outcomes of sports competitions, political races, and entertainment events. Connecting to the protocol and executing a position is restricted to individuals who have reached the age of legal majority. Participants bear the sole responsibility for ensuring that engaging in digital prediction markets is legally permissible within their specific jurisdiction. You are also fully responsible for any tax reporting obligations arising from your successful predictions.

We prioritize data accuracy; however, the information displayed on the interface – including live scores, match times, and venue details – is provided strictly for informational purposes. We do not accept liability for potential inaccuracies in the live data feed. We strongly recommend that users cross-reference live statistics with authoritative broadcasts. For a detailed explanation of how we protect your user data while you interact with these markets, please consult our Responsible Gaming and privacy guidelines.

Classification of Prediction Types

The interface supports several distinct methodologies for engaging with the event line:

Single (Ordinar): A straightforward prediction on the outcome of one isolated event. The potential return is calculated by multiplying the staked amount by the specific odds of that outcome.
Combo (Accumulator): A linked series of predictions covering multiple, independent events. To secure a return on a Combo, every single prediction within the sequence must be correct. If even one outcome fails, the entire position is lost. The final odds are determined by multiplying the odds of all selected outcomes together. The maximum multiplier limit for this type of position is capped at 500x. It is strictly prohibited to include interconnected events (e.g., predicting a team to win the World Cup and predicting the same team to win their semi-final match) within the same Combo.

If an event is officially postponed or canceled beyond the acceptable timeframes defined in these rules, the specific outcome is settled with a neutral multiplier of 1.0, effectively refunding that portion of the position.

Standard Market Outcomes

The protocol offers a robust selection of traditional and advanced markets. The standard 1X2 market allows you to select Team 1 to win, a Draw (X), or Team 2 to win. If the match concludes exactly as predicted at the end of regular time, the contract executes a payout.

Double Chance: This market reduces risk by covering two of the three possible outcomes. "1X" means the first team wins or draws. "12" means either the first or second team wins (no draw). "X2" means the second team wins or draws.
Tournament Placement: Predict how far a specific nation or athlete will progress (e.g., reaching the quarter-finals). If a participant withdraws before the tournament commences, the position is voided and settled at odds of 1.0.
Head-to-Head: Choose which of two specified participants will advance further in a tournament grid. If both are eliminated in the exact same round, the market is voided.
Outright Winner: Predicting the ultimate champion of a tournament. If you utilize Tether to predict the winner of a major tournament and they secure the trophy, the payout is triggered upon official confirmation by the governing body.

Advanced Markets and Asian Handicaps

For users seeking deeper analytical engagement, the platform supports complex statistical markets.

Totals (Over/Under): Predicting whether the total number of specific occurrences (goals, points, corners) will be higher or lower than a predefined threshold.
Handicaps: A virtual advantage or disadvantage applied to a team's final score for settlement purposes. If you apply a +1.5 handicap to a team, and they lose by exactly one goal, your prediction is successful.

Double Asian Handicaps and Totals

These are highly specific markets where the value ends in quarters (e.g., +1.25, -0.75, Over 2.75). A position placed on a Double Asian market is mathematically split into two equal halves, covering the nearest half-numbers. For instance, a $100 position on Over 2.75 is split into a $50 position on Over 2.5 and a $50 position on Over 3.0. Depending on the final score, you could experience a full win, a half-win/half-refund, a full loss, or a half-loss/half-refund.

Combo+ Multiplier Mechanics

To reward users who construct extensive Combo positions, the protocol features an automated "Combo+" multiplier. This mechanic applies an additional percentage boost to the final payout of a winning Combo, provided the sequence meets specific criteria:

4 events yield a 1.08x boost.
6 events yield a 1.15x boost.
8 events yield a 1.20x boost.
10 or more events yield a massive 1.50x boost.

To qualify for this enhancement, every selection within the Combo must carry individual odds of 1.4 or higher. This feature applies to both pre-match and live markets, utilizing any asset, whether you are staking USDT or Bitcoin. If match cancellations result in the Combo dropping below the required event threshold, the boost multiplier reverts to 1.0.

Conditions of Acceptance and Event Interruptions

Positions are accepted strictly up until the official start time of the event, with the exception of dedicated live markets. Any pre-match prediction executed after the event has actually commenced will be deemed invalid and refunded. When engaging through a blockchain-native environment like Dexsport, the cryptographic timestamp of the block dictates the exact moment your position was finalized. Connectivity failures or loss of your private wallet keys cannot be used as grounds to cancel or modify a confirmed on-chain transaction.

Postponements and Abandonments

If a traditional sporting event is delayed and does not commence within 36 to 48 hours of its scheduled start time, all related markets will be voided and settled at 1.0. If an event begins but is interrupted and abandoned before the official conclusion (and not resumed within 12 to 18 hours), the markets will be settled based on the score at the time of abandonment. Outcomes that were already mathematically decided before the interruption (e.g., "First Team to Score") will stand. To verify the official rules regarding match abandonments in global football, checking the institutional guidelines provided by FIFA is highly recommended.

In scenarios where multiple participants are declared joint-winners of a competition, the outright winner markets for those specific participants will be settled at 1.0. Furthermore, if the decentralized Oracle detects that a position was executed after a decisive outcome was already known (such as a goal being scored before the live odds updated), the smart contract protocol reserves the right to void the transaction.

eSports Specific Settlements

The protocol offers extensive coverage of competitive gaming. eSports matches are often formatted as "Best of" series (Bo1, Bo3, Bo5). The outright winner is the team that secures the required number of map victories. If a team suffers a technical defeat due to connectivity issues, DDoS attacks, or arriving late, the match outcome and map handicaps are generally voided and settled at 1.0.

Specific eSports markets include:

First Blood: Predicting which team secures the first character elimination. Kills by neutral creeps or environmental hazards do not count.
First Roshan/Objective: Predicting which team defeats the primary neutral monster first.
Map Duration: Predicting whether the round will last over or under a specific minute mark (only full minutes are counted).

Smart Contract Execution and Cashout

Because the platform operates on Web3 architecture, there are no manual withdrawal requests holding your funds hostage. Once a prediction is verified as successful, the smart contract routes the digital assets directly to your non-custodial wallet. To understand how stablecoins maintain their peg during these rapid transactions, you can review the technical transparency reports provided directly by Tether.

The protocol may also offer an automated "Cashout" feature. This allows you to close a live position before the event concludes, securing a guaranteed return or minimizing a potential loss based on the current live odds. Accepting a Cashout permanently overrides the original terms of your prediction. This feature is generated dynamically by the liquidity pool and may be suspended without notice during highly volatile moments of a match.
