Bet Expiry Time
It is important to note the method through which bets expire in the system as this forms a key element of the betting process.
Intraday bets with an expiry before the end of our market hours will expire in the number of minutes selected on the betting interface. For example, a 20 minute bet will expire in 20 minutes provided there are 20 minutes left in our market day. This is also the case for intraday hourly bets.
Where there is an insufficient amount of time left in our trading day a bet whose expiry time is denominated in minutes or hours will roll over to the next trading session. For example, a bet with a 90 minute expiry bought 45 minutes before the end of our market day would expire 45 minutes into the following market day. The same principle applies to bets with an expiry denominated in hours. A 100 hour bet will therefore expire in 100 market hours; in the stock market for example this would be several weeks while in the FX market it would be under one calender week.
Multi-day bets expire in the number of market day's specified. A 3 day bet placed on a Thursday would therefore expire at the same time on the following Tuesday assuming that the there are no holidays on the Friday or the Monday.
Half days are accounted for as full days. If a market closes early for a half day then you will be deemed to have had a full day for multi-day bets but not for bets where the expiry time is denominated in minutes or hours.
Note that the first and last 5 minutes of any trading session do not count towards any bet. In the case of bets on the UK 100 index for example, this means that no data after 16:25 counts towards the bet. This is to protect you from knocking out no touch bets at volatile after market auction prices.
When pricing a bet on the dealing interface the expiry time is clearly displayed on the right hand side of the page below the price.
