Match Settlement Rules
Knowing how a market settles when rain stops play or two batters tie for top scorer protects your bankroll from ugly surprises. Here are the exact settlement rules enforced across Play99Exch (`play99ex.ch`).

Abandoned Matches
In limited-overs cricket (T20Is, IPL, BBL, ODIs), a Match Odds or Bookmaker market stands only if at least the official minimum number of overs required by the governing body (typically 5 overs per side in T20s and 20 overs per side in ODIs) is bowled to produce an official result or Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) decision. If heavy rain washes out the fixture after 3.2 overs and the umpires call off play without an official result, every Match Odds and Bookmaker ticket is declared VOID and 100% of your rupee stake returns to your Play99Exch wallet.
What if the match is reduced from 20 overs to 12 overs per side before the toss or during the first innings, and an official DLS winner is declared? Match Odds bets stand on the official match winner, whereas full 20-over innings total fancy lines are voided if the scheduled overs are cut after the bet was placed and before the line was already crossed.
Void and Dead Heat
A bet is marked VOID when the underlying condition cannot be completed—for example, backing a specific batter in a Top Batsman market when they are left out of the confirmed Playing XI, or betting on a 10-over session when rain ends the innings at 8.1 overs with the score still below the quoted run line. On a void ticket, neither Back nor Lay wins; our ledger simply unlocks the frozen exposure within sixty seconds of the official abandonment signal.
A Dead Heat occurs when two or more runners tie for first place in a winner-only market such as Top Team Batter. Suppose Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav both top-score for India with exactly 64 runs, and you backed Gill for ₹1,000 at decimal odds of 4.00. Under standard exchange Dead Heat reduction, your effective stake is divided by the number of tied winners (two): ₹500 wins at 4.00 (`₹500 × 4.00 = ₹2,000` return) and ₹500 is lost, leaving you with a ₹1,000 net profit (`₹2,000 - ₹1,000 original stake`).
Session Settlement
Session fancy markets (6-over powerplay, 10-over block, 15-over block, 20-over lambi) follow the Golden Completion Rule: once the specified over block is legally completed on the field—or once the batting side's score has already mathematically passed the YES line—the session settles immediately and irreversibly, even if torrential rain washes out the rest of the match ten minutes later.
For instance, if you backed YES 52 on the 6-over powerplay session for ₹500 and the team reaches 55/1 after 4.3 overs before a thunderstorm abandons the game, your YES ticket is a settled winner because 52 runs were already achieved on the scoreboard. Penalty runs awarded by the umpires for slow over-rates or ball hitting a helmet on the ground do not count toward over-by-over session fancy totals unless explicitly stated in the market header.
Disputes
All cricket markets on Play99Exch settle against the official scorecard published by the match governing body (ICC, BCCI, Cricket Australia, ECB) and verified against our primary SportMonks and 99Hub settlement feeds. If a television broadcast graphic briefly displays an incorrect wide or leg-bye and the official scorers amend the ball-by-ball sheet before the innings closes, our ledger settles on the final official scorer sheet.
If you ever question how a session, fall-of-wicket, or dead-heat ticket was graded, copy your Bet ID from your Play99Exch statement and message our 24x7 desk on WhatsApp at 8626043284. Our settlement supervisors pull the ball-by-ball timestamp log and verify the grade within ten minutes.

Remember our three operational caveats on the Play99Exch trading floor: first, always check that online exchange play is permitted in your state jurisdiction (18+ only; restricted in states with statutory bans); second, inspect the rupee liquidity underneath the top Back and Lay boxes before firing large orders into minor T10 or domestic fixtures; third, allow 3 to 4 minutes for NPCI UPI bank callbacks during the 7:00 PM IST IPL toss surge and always keep your 12-digit UTR slip handy when messaging 8626043284.
When auditing any live or settled ticket inside your Play99Exch statement ledger, verify four fields first: the 9-digit Betfair market ID (for example 1.264937021 on New Zealand v India), the exact match timestamp down to the millisecond, the matched decimal price versus your requested price (confirming whether best-price execution improved your fill), and the exposure delta before and after the order matched. If a match experiences a rain delay or Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) target revision, match-odds tickets remain valid provided the official governing board (BCCI, ICC, or Cricket Australia) declares a formal result after the minimum statutory overs (5 overs per side in T20s, 20 overs per side in ODIs). Uncompleted over-run session lines where the specified over (such as Over 6.0 or Over 20.0) is never bowled due to abandonment are automatically marked VOID — FULL REFUND and every rupee of frozen exposure returns to your free balance without commission.
