Pre-match betting means you place your bet before the match begins, based on odds set in advance. In-play betting allows you to place bets while the match is in progress, with odds that change in real time as the game unfolds. In-play betting offers more opportunities but requires quicker decision-making.
In general, confirmed sports bets cannot be cancelled or amended. This is standard practice across the sports betting industry. Always review your bet slip carefully before confirming to make sure all details – teams, bet type, and amount – are correct. If you believe a technical error led to an unintended bet being placed, contact dato88 support immediately.
If a match is cancelled, postponed, or not completed within the timeframe specified by dato88's policy, the bet will generally be voided and the wagered amount refunded to your account. The exact policy depends on the bet type and sport involved. Please refer to the dato88 Sports Betting terms for details on specific situations.
