2. If other is not stipulated, bets on the outcome of the soccer matches are accounted after 90 minutes of play. It includes 1st and 2nd halves and the added injury or stoppage time. It does not include extra-time, time allocated for penalty shoot-out.
3. If the match is stopped before 90 minutes and not finished the same day, all bets will be refunded. In special offers to uncertain result there is a return of money. In propositions wagering with uncertain result stakes will also be returned. In propositions that have been decided (for example first goalscorer, if a goal has been scored; first half wagering, if the first half is complete; first card, if a player has been sent off etc.) stakes will be paid out.

Money line (1X2): It proposes three variants of outcomes. It means, that you can either choose a winner of the game, or the result of a tie. If you have not chosen a tie game, and game is over with equal result, the bet is a loss.

Handicap betting: There can be a Single Handicap or a Double Handicap.

Single Handicap: This kind of bet is alike with basketball spread betting.

For example:

If Chelsea wins tearing away with two points or more, bettors who placed the stake on Chelsea will win, while those who put on Middlesbrough will lose. If the match is played in tie or if Middlesbrough wins, then Middlesbrough bettors will win, while Chelsea bettors will lose the bet. If Chelsea wins by exactly one goal, stakes will be refunded.

Double Handicap: In this case the bet splits into two bets with the same moneyline, but a different single handicap.

For example:

A Customer who bets $100 on Arsenal, has two separate wagers: $50 on Arsenal -1 at 1.80 and $ 50 on Arsenal -1,5 at 1.80.

A Customer who bets $100 on Everton actually has two separate wagers: $50 on Everton +1 at + 1.99 , and $50 on Everton +1.5 at 1.99.

Over/Under: www.leader-bet.com proposes its Customers to put stakes on the final score of a Single Team that will either exceed (is called "Over"), or will be less (known as "Under") than the specified number of goals. The game must reach a full time. If the outcome of the match is defined, bets are considered as valid and moneys are paid.

Parlay betting: Bets of such a type are accepted in the scheduled day of a play. The player can win a limited amount of money on Parlays. If the winning sum is over than the acceptable limit, the Player receives a prize as much as the acceptable maximum. If a match is abandoned, suspended or postponed beyond 12 hours due to any reasons before 90 minutes of play from the original scheduled time, then all bets in Parlay will be counted as one for that particular match.

1st Half and 2nd Half Betting. Bets on the first half are valid if 45 minutes have passed including any added injury time. If the first half is not finished, bets are refunded.

Moneys on the second half accounted after 45 minutes of play including added injury or stoppage time but not including extra-time or time allocated for penalty shoot-out.

For example: Suppose Villareal lead Valladolid 1-0 at half time and the odds on the 2nd half are Valladolid -0.5. This value is related to the second half games only. Consequently, Valladolid bettors win if Valladolid scores more in the second half than Villareal. Villareal bettors win, if the teams scores an equal number of goals in the second half or if Villareal scores more goals in the second half than Valladolid.
