UK bookmaker rules compared

bet365's Acca Boost terms say a postponed leg comes out and the boost is paid on the winning legs. Its general multiples rule was not on the pages we checked.

The whole Bet Builder is void or push, except pre-match Bet Builders with player markets on selected sports, which are recalculated.

Goalscorer bets on a player who doesn't start are void, except in competitions with rolling substitutes. On markets marked Sub On Play On, if your player is subbed off the bet moves to the replacement.

Sub On Play On. Pre-match singles and multiples on player markets with the Sub On Play On icon, and Bet Builders. Markets include goalscorer, 2 or more, hat-trick, header, outside the box, cards (including Player to be Sent Off), assists, shots, shots on target, tackles, fouls and goalkeeper saves. If the substitute is subbed, the bet moves again. Extra time: Counts. In a qualifying match that goes to extra time, the bet runs on and can win in extra time at the same odds; markets that include extra time are labelled. Penalty shootouts don't count. Sent off: Not stated in public terms. bet365's terms cover substitutions only, so we don't assume the bet moves after a sending off. Limits: Doesn't apply if you cashed out before the substitution, if the bet was already decided, or on friendlies. An acca that only wins through Sub On Play On gets no Acca Boost. For new and eligible customers. The replacement is decided by Podium.

On 18 Oct 2026 bet365's UK promotions page listed 12 offers, including Early Payout, the 100% Acca Boost, Bet Boost, Super Boost and Sub On Play On, and none was acca insurance. bet365's acca offer is a boost on winning accas, not a refund when a leg loses. bet365 says offers are for new and eligible customers and can change.
