Football betting rules at Habtam Bet

These Habtam Bet football betting rules explain how football bets may be accepted and settled on the platform. They are intended to help players understand the difference between 90 minutes, extra time and a penalty shootout before placing a bet. The rules apply to prematch and live markets, but the exact market description remains important.

Before confirming a bet, check the market name, the time period used for settlement, the event status and any conditions shown on the bet slip. If a specific market rule differs from this general explanation, the terms displayed for that market and the applicable Terms and Conditions take priority. Habtam Bet aims to settle football bets using its published rules and available official event data.

These guidelines are general information, not a promise that every event will be settled in the same way. If a market is unclear, review its conditions before accepting the bet or contact Habtam Bet for clarification.

Standard settlement time: 90 minutes

Most standard football markets use the result at the end of 90 minutes, including the time added by the referee. This is often described as full time, 90 minutes or regular time. Referee-added time, also called stoppage time or added time, is part of the ordinary match period.

Added time must not be confused with extra time. Extra time consists of additional periods played after the regular match has finished, usually in a knockout competition. It is not included in a standard 90 minutes football betting market unless the market rules expressly say otherwise.

Match Result or 1X2: normally settled on the score after 90 minutes plus added time.
Double Chance: normally uses the same regular-time result.
Total Goals: normally counts goals scored during regular time and added time.
Handicap: normally applies to the regular-time score.
Both Teams to Score: normally considers goals in the regular match period only.

For example, a 1X2 bet on Team A is generally assessed at the regular-time result, even if Team A wins after extra time. Always confirm the wording shown for the selected market.

When extra time counts

Extra time football betting is governed by the wording of the individual market. It may count where the selection concerns the outcome of a tie or competition rather than the result after regular time. Market names may include “including extra time”, “to qualify”, “winner of tie”, “team to lift the trophy” or “outright winner”.

A selection on “Team A to qualify” may include extra time and a penalty shootout when the market rules state that the team advancing to the next round is the settlement outcome. By contrast, “Team A to win” in a normal Match Result market generally refers to the score after 90 minutes and added time.

Do not infer the time period from the competition format alone. A knockout match can contain both regular-time markets and qualification markets, with different settlement outcomes. The market title and its displayed rules should be checked separately for every bet.

How penalties are settled

A penalty awarded and scored during regular time or extra time is an ordinary match event. It can count toward a goals market when that market includes the relevant period. A penalty shootout is different: it takes place after the match has ended and normally does not change the score used for 90-minute totals, handicap or Match Result markets.

This distinction is central to penalty shootout betting rules:

Penalty during play: may count as a match goal for the period covered by the market.
Penalty shootout: usually does not add goals to a standard Total Goals market.
Qualification or trophy market: the shootout may determine the winner when the market is defined by advancement or competition outcome.

Thus, a team can win a penalty shootout while a 90-minute Match Result bet on that team is not a winning selection. The market wording controls the calculation.

Cancelled, postponed and abandoned matches

A cancelled football match bet, a postponed football match betting selection and a match abandoned after kick-off may be treated differently depending on the event, the market and the applicable settlement deadline. Habtam Bet should apply the relevant published policy rather than an assumption based only on the fixture status.

If a match is cancelled or postponed before it starts, the bet may be declared void and the stake refunded when the event is not played within the period specified in the applicable rules. The same approach may apply where a match begins but is abandoned and is not completed within the permitted time. The precise deadline—such as a specified number of hours, the next calendar day or the same competition round—must be verified in the current Habtam Bet rules.

Some markets may already have an objectively determined outcome before an interruption. For example, a player to score market may have been settled if the player scored before the match was abandoned, subject to the specific market terms. Other selections may remain unresolved and could be void. A match that is later replayed or completed may be handled according to the event rules in force for that market.

An incorrect date, team name or market description can also require review. If the official result is amended after the final whistle, or if event information was materially incorrect, Habtam Bet may correct or cancel the affected settlement under its Terms and Conditions. Players should retain the bet reference and contact support when a result appears inconsistent with the displayed rules.

Live football betting settlement

Live football betting rules account for the fact that events develop while a bet is being submitted. Prices can move quickly, and a market may be suspended when a goal, red card, penalty, VAR review or other significant incident occurs. An attempted bet may be held briefly for confirmation, accepted at a changed price or rejected if the market is no longer available.

A live selection submitted during a VAR review, for example, may wait for the event to be confirmed. If the market was suspended before acceptance, the bet may not be valid at the earlier price. A goal or dangerous attack can also cause a temporary market suspension before the updated odds are displayed.

For current match information and live markets, visit Habtam Bet live. The fact that a price is visible does not by itself mean that a bet has been accepted. Settlement takes place only for an accepted bet recorded in the account.

Odds changes and bet confirmation

A football odds change can happen between selecting a price and submitting the bet. The coefficient shown before confirmation is not necessarily the final price. If odds change, the system may display the revised value for approval or reject the request when the selection is no longer available.

Check the bet slip before pressing the confirmation button. Review the teams, market, selected outcome, time period, stake and displayed odds, with particular care in live football. An accepted bet should be identifiable in the account or bet history. A rejected bet is not a settled losing bet, while a cancelled or void bet is handled under the applicable rules and may result in a refund stake.

VAR, official data and result corrections

VAR can change whether a goal stands, whether a penalty is awarded or whether a player receives a card. During a review, the relevant market may be suspended until the incident is resolved. Settlement may then use the confirmed event record rather than an early on-screen indication.

Official data may also include corrections to the score, cards, corners, substitutions or player participation. Where the official result or event record changes after settlement, Habtam Bet should follow the correction provisions in its Terms and Conditions. Not every data discrepancy produces the same result, so players should not rely on an unofficial score alone.

Player, cards and corners markets

Player markets, cards and corners can have conditions that differ from standard match markets. A player selection may be void when the player does not take part, but this depends on the specific Habtam Bet market rule. A player who appears only as a substitute, or who enters during the match, may be treated according to the market’s participation requirement.

Cards markets may include only cards shown to players on the field, or may address other team personnel, depending on the stated rules. For corners markets, settlement generally depends on officially awarded and taken corners, but the precise treatment of a retaken, cancelled or unplayed corner must be checked in the market conditions.

An own goal is normally not credited as a goal by the player who scored it for player-goals betting, unless the applicable rule says otherwise. Because player, cards and corners markets can contain special definitions, check the specific market rules before placing a bet.

Examples of football bet settlement

Scenario: Team North and Team South are level 1–1 after 90 minutes. Team North wins 2–1 in extra time.
Settlement: A regular-time 1X2 selection on Team North is generally not a winner because the 90-minute result was a draw. A market marked as including extra time may use the later result.
Scenario: A match is 0–0 after regular time, and Team East wins the penalty shootout.
Settlement: Over 0.5 Total Goals for 90 minutes generally loses because the shootout does not add a match goal. A qualification market may be settled in favour of Team East if shootouts are included.
Scenario: A scheduled fixture is cancelled before kick-off and no replacement time is covered by the applicable deadline.
Settlement: The affected bet may become a void bet, subject to the event and market rules.
Scenario: A live bet is submitted while the referee is checking a possible goal with VAR.
Settlement: The request may be pending briefly, accepted at revised odds or rejected if the market was suspended before acceptance.
Scenario: A “Team West to Qualify” selection is made for a knockout tie that is decided by penalties.
Settlement: The selection may win because the market concerns advancement, provided its rules include extra time and the penalty shootout.

Responsible football betting

Football betting should be entertainment, not a way to earn money or recover losses. Only adults who are legally permitted to gamble should use betting services. Set a budget before playing, use available limits or breaks, and never chase a loss or bet with money needed for essential expenses.

If gambling stops feeling manageable, pause your activity and consider self-exclusion or support options. The Responsible Gaming page explains available tools, and the Age Restriction Policy provides information about minimum-age requirements.
