General Betting Rules

Eligibility Requirements

You must be 18 years or older to place bets on our platform. We conduct verification checks and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. Accounts found to belong to underage individuals will be immediately closed, and funds will be forfeited.

Bet Acceptance

All bets are subject to acceptance by Parimatch. We reserve the right to refuse or limit any bet without providing justification. Once a bet is confirmed and appears in your account history, it becomes binding. Bets placed after an event has commenced may be voided unless live betting is explicitly offered.

Betting Limits

  • Minimum bet amounts vary by market and event, typically starting from ₹10
  • Maximum bet limits are determined by event, market liquidity, and your account history
  • We may adjust limits without prior notice to manage risk exposure

Win and Loss Calculations

Winnings are calculated based on the odds displayed at the time your bet was placed. Settlement occurs after official results are confirmed by the relevant governing body. In cases of abandoned or postponed events, specific market rules apply as detailed in our betting regulations.

Restrictions and Cancellations

We may void bets if:

  • Obvious pricing errors occurred
  • Results were influenced by match-fixing or fraudulent activity
  • Technical errors affected bet placement or odds display
  • The event did not take place as scheduled (subject to specific market rules)

Voided bets are refunded to your account balance. Where partial voiding applies, only the affected selections are cancelled.

Payment Rules

Deposits

You may fund your account using approved payment methods available in India, including:

  • UPI transfers
  • Net banking
  • Credit and debit cards
  • E-wallets (Paytm, PhonePe, and others)

Minimum deposit amounts typically start from ₹300, while maximum limits depend on the chosen method and your account status. Deposits are processed instantly in most cases, though certain methods may require additional processing time.

Withdrawals

You may request withdrawals once identity verification is complete. Key requirements include:

  • Minimum withdrawal amount: ₹500
  • Withdrawals must be made to an account in your name
  • Processing time ranges from 24 hours to 7 business days, depending on the method
  • We reserve the right to request additional documentation before processing large withdrawals

Fees and Charges

Parimatch does not charge fees for standard deposits or withdrawals. However, your payment provider may impose transaction charges. Currency conversion fees may apply if your payment method uses a currency other than INR.

Security and Verification

Before processing your first withdrawal, we require:

  • Proof of identity (Aadhaar card, passport, or driving licence)
  • Proof of address (utility bill or bank statement dated within the last three months)
  • Verification of payment method ownership

These measures comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. Failure to provide requested documentation may result in account suspension and withdrawal delays.

Transaction Cancellations

You may cancel a pending withdrawal request before processing begins. Once processing has commenced, cancellation is not possible. Deposit transactions cannot be reversed through our platform; you must contact your payment provider directly.

Responsible Gambling

We are committed to promoting safe and responsible betting practices. While betting can be entertaining, it carries risks and should never compromise your financial stability or wellbeing.

Control Tools

Our platform offers several tools to help you maintain control:

  • Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit

You can activate these tools through your account settings or by contacting customer support.

Warning Signs

Consider whether you:

  • Bet with money you cannot afford to lose
  • Chase losses by placing additional bets
  • Neglect personal or professional responsibilities
  • Borrow money to fund betting activities
  • Experience anxiety or distress related to betting outcomes

If you answer yes to any of these questions, we encourage you to use our control tools or seek external support.
