    • We will publish changes on the website and, where material, provide notice in your account or by email. Revised Terms apply from the effective date.
  • Acceptable Use
    • No misuse of the platform, including: automated scraping or bots, circumvention of limits, bonus abuse, fraudulent chargebacks, match-fixing, use of insider information, collusion, or any activity that undermines event integrity.
    • We may suspend or close accounts, void bets, remove bonuses, or decline services if we detect prohibited behaviour.
  • Intellectual Property and Platform Content
    • All software, odds, data feeds, logos, text, and other content are protected. You receive a limited licence to access and use the services for personal, non-commercial betting and gaming.
    • Copying, redistributing, or reverse engineering is not allowed without written consent.
  • Liability and Disclaimers
    • Services are provided on an “as is” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free odds feeds, or that events will occur.
    • To the extent permitted by Irish law, 1Red is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, or losses arising from telecom or third-party failures. This does not affect your statutory rights as an Irish consumer.
  • Suspension, Closure, and Forfeiture
    • We may suspend or close accounts for legal, regulatory, security, AML, integrity, or responsible gambling reasons. Balances may be withheld where legally required.
  • Governing Law and Jurisdiction

  • Language
    • The English version governs if translations differ.

General Betting Rules

  • Who may place bets
    • Only verified account holders who are 18+ and located in Ireland when placing a bet may participate.
    • Employees of event participants, officials, or others with material non-public information must not place related bets.
  • Bet Acceptance and Confirmation
    • A bet is accepted only when our server records it and a unique bet ID appears in your bet history.
    • Pending or “processing” status means not yet accepted. We may refuse, limit, or partially accept any bet before confirmation.
  • Odds, Prices, and Markets
    • Odds and market availability can change at any time before acceptance. In-play odds may suspend frequently based on event state.
    • If a palpable error occurs (e.g., wrong odds, teams, event date, or line), we may void the bet or settle at the correct odds as determined by us, acting reasonably.
  • Stakes, Limits, and Payout Caps
    • Minimum and maximum stake amounts are shown in the betslip or market rules.
    • Maximum payouts may apply per bet, market, event, and per account; relevant caps are displayed in the rules or betslip.
  • Settlement of Bets
    • Bets are settled using official results from the relevant governing body or results source advertised in the market rules.
    • Subsequent result changes (e.g., disqualification) do not affect settlement unless the market rules state otherwise.
    • Dead-heat: your stake is divided by the number of tied participants, and the win is settled at the original odds.
  • Event Changes and Cancellations
    • If an event is postponed, abandoned, or relocated, settlement follows the market rules displayed on site. Where no specific rule applies, bets may stand if played within a reasonable time frame; otherwise void.
    • If a selection is a non-runner or void, multiples are adjusted using odds of 1.00 for that leg.
  • Cash Out and Edit Bet
    • Cash Out is discretionary and not guaranteed. Availability can be withdrawn for technical or integrity reasons. Cash Out offers become binding only on server acceptance.
  • Responsible and Fair Play
    • Use of insider information, match-fixing, or suspicious betting patterns may result in bet cancellation, account restrictions, and reporting to relevant bodies.
  • Bonus and Free Bet Settlement
    • Free bet stakes are not returned in winnings unless stated.
    • Bonus-related bets must follow the specific bonus terms, including wagering rules and any market or odds restrictions.

    • Before processing, we may require KYC documents and, where relevant, source-of-funds evidence.

    • Chargebacks or payment disputes may be deducted from your balance and could incur recovery costs to the extent permitted by law.
  • Bonuses and Wagering
    • If a bonus is active, withdrawals may be restricted until wagering requirements are satisfied. Bonus terms, including restricted markets or minimum odds, apply to bonus bets and bonuses.
  • Record Keeping
    • You can read your transaction history in your account at any time. Contact support if you believe a payment record is inaccurate.

Responsible Gambling

  • Core Principles
    • Gambling is entertainment, not a source of income. Set limits and bet only what you can afford to lose.
  • Player Protection Tools
    • Deposit, loss, stake, and session limits configurable in your account.
    • Reality checks and time reminders during betting or gaming sessions.
    • Time-out (cooling-off) periods and self-exclusion for defined durations or indefinitely.
    • Decreasing limits take effect immediately; increases apply after a cooling-off period.
    • We may conduct affordability and risk assessments and may restrict services where harm indicators arise.
  • Self-Exclusion
    • If you self-exclude, we will block your access and marketing during the exclusion period and return any remaining real-money balance subject to ongoing checks.
    • If a national self-exclusion register is introduced in Ireland, we will comply as required by law.
