Frequently Asked Questions

Strategic Football is licensed by the Curaçao eGaming Authority and, for UK customers, by the UK Gambling Commission. Both licences require us to follow strict consumer‑protection and anti‑money‑laundering rules, and you can verify our licence numbers in the site footer or on the regulator’s public register. We also provide responsible‑gambling tools including deposit limits, time‑outs and self‑exclusion.

The minimum deposit at Strategic Football is $10 for most methods, with crypto deposits starting at the equivalent of $5. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz, bank transfer and Bitcoin/Ethereum/USDT; all deposits are instant except bank transfers which take 1‑3 business days.

To withdraw, go to ‘My Account → Withdraw’, choose a method and enter the amount; you must first complete identity verification (a one‑off KYC check). E‑wallet withdrawals usually process within 24 hours, card withdrawals take 3‑5 business days and crypto transfers are completed within an hour after internal review. Minimum withdrawal is $20 and there are no fees on our side, though your bank or e‑wallet provider may charge a small fee.

In a European handicap you bet on a whole‑number line (e.g., –1, 0, +1) and a draw is a possible outcome, whereas an Asian handicap uses quarter‑ or half‑goal lines (e.g., –0.5, –0.25, –0.75) and eliminates the draw by splitting your stake into two bets. If the chosen team wins by more than the handicap you win both parts; if they lose or the handicap isn’t covered you lose the entire stake.

If a match is postponed before kick‑off and not played within 48 hours, all bets are void and stakes are refunded. For matches abandoned after play has started, bets on outcomes already decided are settled accordingly, while bets on the full‑time result are settled using the official league result if the match is officially completed; otherwise the market is void. Any bets placed after the official start time are rejected.

Cash‑out lets you settle a bet before the event ends, locking in a profit or limiting a loss based on the current odds. You can request a full cash‑out or a partial cash‑out, leaving the remainder active; the option appears on the bet slip when available and is subject to the market’s live odds and liquidity. Cash‑out is not offered on all markets; it is disabled for markets that are suspended, for example during a goal or penalty, and the final settlement follows the official match result.
