These rules explain how bets are accepted and settled on Picknation88. They apply together with our Terms of Service and Refund Policy. If anything here differs from those pages for a betting question, these Betting Rules apply.
1. Who can bet
- You must be 18 or older, and you may hold only one account.
- Bets are placed and paid in Philippine pesos (PHP).
2. Placing a bet
- A bet is accepted only when you press Confirm Bet and it appears in My Bets. Once accepted it cannot be cancelled or changed.
- Your bet is settled at the odds and line shown on your bet slip when it was accepted, even if the odds change afterwards.
- Betting on a game closes at tip-off. Markets shown with a padlock are suspended and cannot be bet on.
- Stake limits: the minimum stake is ₱100. The maximum is ₱20,000 for a single bet and ₱10,000 for a multi bet. Some markets (alternate lines, team totals, quarters and halves) have lower limits, and the bet slip tells you if a stake is too high.
- A multi bet (parlay) may contain only one pick per game.
3. Markets
| Market | How it is settled |
|---|
| Moneyline | Pick the team that wins the game. |
| Spread (handicap) | The line is added to your team's score. Example: Team A −7.5 wins if Team A wins by 8 or more; Team B +7.5 wins if Team B wins or loses by 7 or fewer. |
| Total (Over/Under) | Both teams' points added together. Example: Over 216.5 wins at 217 points or more. |
| Team total | Over/Under on one team's points only. |
| 1st half / quarter markets | Settled on that period's score only. The 1st half is quarters 1 and 2. |
4. Overtime
Full-game markets (moneyline, spread, total, team totals) include overtime. Half and quarter markets do not.
5. Pushes (exact line)
- If the result lands exactly on a whole-number line (for example a total of 216 when the line is 216), the bet is a push.
- Single bet: a push is refunded in full.
- Multi bet: a pushed leg counts as a losing leg, so the multi bet loses.
- Half-point lines (like 7.5 or 216.5) can never push.
6. Postponed and cancelled games
- If a game is postponed but played within 24 hours of its original start time, bets stand.
- If it is cancelled, or not played within 24 hours, it is void: single bets are refunded, and in a multi bet that leg is settled at odds of 1.00 while the other legs stand.
7. Results and payouts
- Bets are settled on the official final score after the game ends. Later protests or changed results do not affect settlement.
- Winnings and refunds are added to your balance automatically once the result is confirmed.
- If a result is settled wrongly by mistake, we will correct it and adjust balances, even after payment.
8. Obvious errors
If a bet is accepted at a price or line that is obviously wrong (for example swapped home and away odds or a misplaced decimal), we may void the bet and refund the stake.
9. Fair play
Arbitrage, using several accounts, bots or any attempt to exploit errors may lead to bets being voided and the account being closed, as set out in our Refund Policy and Terms of Service.
