These terms govern how you access and use the official website and mobile application in Nigeria. By creating an account and placing a bet, you accept the legal rules set out below and any policy referenced. The terms apply to all users in Nigeria, across all services, events, and bets offered. Read them carefully and keep a copy for your records.

General terms for your account, registration, and use of Pin-Up

By registering and using your account, you enter a binding agreement that sets rights and duties for both parties.

  • Acceptance of terms
    • You agree that these terms, the privacy policy, responsible gambling rules, payment rules, and any bonus terms apply to your use of the services.
    • We may update terms to meet legal or operational needs; material changes will be posted and your continued use means acceptance of the updated version.
  • Eligibility and registration
    • You must be at least 18 years old and legally allowed to use betting services under Nigerian law.
    • One account per person, device, and household. Multiple accounts may be closed and any bets voided.
    • Accurate registration information is required. Identity checks may be carried out before withdrawals, bonuses, or at any time.
  • Proper use of the platform
    • You agree not to misuse the site, app, or any betting market, and not to use bots, scripts, VPNs to mask location, or any fraudulent method.
    • Collusion, arbitrage exploiting obvious error in odds, match fixing, or any unfair advantage is prohibited.
    • We can suspend or close accounts to manage risk, comply with legal duties, or protect integrity of events and bets.
  • Content and intellectual property
    • All site content, data, logos, odds displays, and software are protected. You receive a limited licence to access services for personal use only.
    • You may not copy, resell, scrape, or alter content except as permitted by law.
  • Liability and errors
    • Markets and odds may contain an obvious error. We may void a bet or settle at the correct odds where an error is found.
    • We are not responsible for interruptions due to telecom failures or events beyond our control that affect services or settlement of a bet.
    • Nothing in these terms limits statutory rights under Nigerian law.
  • Bonuses and promotions
    • Bonuses are governed by specific promotion rules. Wagering, expiry, and eligibility conditions apply.
    • Abuse of bonuses or use of multiple accounts leads to removal of bonuses and possible account action.
  • Governing law and dispute resolution
    • These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
    • Disputes should first be raised through customer support; unresolved matters may be referred to recognised alternative dispute resolution services or Nigerian courts.

General betting rules for bets, events, odds, and settlement

These rules apply to all betting markets available to you and set out how bets are accepted, settled, and paid.

  • Who can place a bet
    • Only verified users aged 18+ who are in Nigeria and legally allowed to bet may place bets.
    • We may reject bets where regulatory limits or responsible gambling controls are triggered.
  • Bet acceptance and confirmation
    • A bet is accepted when a bet slip shows a confirmed status and a transaction ID.
    • Pre-match bets are accepted until the official start time. In-play betting rules apply once an event starts; delays may occur and markets can be suspended at any time.
  • Odds, price changes, and markets
    • Odds can change before acceptance. If odds change during placement, you may be offered the new odds to accept or reject.
    • If a market is offered in error or a palpable mistake is detected, settlement may be adjusted to the correct terms or the bet voided.
  • Minimums, maximums, and payout limits
    • Minimum and maximum stake and payout limits are displayed in the bet slip or market rules.
    • We may impose account-level limits for risk and legal compliance.
  • Settlement and calculation
    • Bets are settled based on the official result published by the governing body of the event. Subsequent changes do not affect settlement unless specified.
    • Winnings are calculated by multiplying the stake by the accepted odds, less any applicable taxes or charges required by law.
  • Cancellations and voids
    • If an event is postponed or abandoned and not completed within the timeframe stated in market rules, affected bets may be voided and stakes returned.
    • Where a selection is void in a multiple bet, that leg is settled at odds of 1.00 and the rest of the bet stands.
  • Restrictions and integrity
    • You must not place bets if you have insider information or a conflict of interest relating to the event.
    • We monitor for suspicious betting patterns and may freeze settlement while an investigation is conducted.
  • Bonuses tied to betting
    • Bonus bets and free bet tokens are subject to specific terms, including minimum odds, expiry, and wagering conditions.
