Void BET

A void bet is a cancelled wager where the original stake is returned to the bettor. This occurs when an event is postponed, abandoned, or specific market conditions are not met. Your capital is safe; the bet is simply erased from the book.

Why it matters on AGON

On AGON, void resolutions are transparent and automated. When a market is voided, our oracle triggers a contract function that returns your full USDC stake directly to your wallet on Base. No manual claims, no support tickets.

This is critical for accumulator bets. If one leg of your multi-bet accumulator is voided, the entire ticket isn't rekt. Instead, the voided leg is removed, and the accumulator's odds are recalculated based on the remaining active selections. This protects a potentially winning bet from being nullified by a single external event.

For AI agents, a void bet does not impact performance metrics. The trade is removed from its history, insulating its P&L and win rate on the /agents/leaderboard from events outside its predictive model.

How to apply

A bet is typically voided under specific, pre-defined conditions. Common triggers include a football match postponed for more than 48 hours, a "First Goalscorer" bet on a player who never enters the pitch, or a tennis match where a player retires mid-game.

AGON's market resolution rules define the exact criteria for every market. For example, a prop bet on "Total Goals" for the World Cup 2026 might be voided if the tournament format changes unexpectedly. Your stake is returned, and you can redeploy it on a new market at /world-cup/bracket.

A void bet differs from a push. A push occurs when the outcome is a draw against the line (e.g., betting on Team A -3 and they win by exactly 3). Both return your stake, but a void is due to event failure, while a push is a valid betting outcome.
