Your account behavior and actions are also taken into consideration, and once your checks are valid and everything is legal and clear, your bet is settled. All this checking may take a long time, like an hour or longer, and as soon as everything is clear, Bet365 will consider your bet settled and pay you.
We always settle bets as quickly as possible and as soon as the results are available. We aim to settle all bets within an hour of the event finishing and In-Play bets during the event, where the result is available. In some instances, there may be a slight delay whilst we wait for confirmation of the results.
