Getting started
betSOL is a sportsbook that lives on the Solana blockchain. There are no accounts, no deposits and no withdrawal queues — your wallet is your identity and your balance. To place your first bet you need exactly two things:
- A Solana wallet extension installed in your browser (Phantom or Solflare).
- Some SOL in that wallet to stake — the minimum bet is 0.05 SOL.
Once you have both, hit the Connect Wallet button in the top right corner, approve the connection in your wallet, and you're ready to bet on any open fixture.
Wallets
betSOL supports the two most used wallets in the Solana ecosystem:
Phantom
The most popular Solana wallet. Available as a browser extension and mobile app. If it's installed, betSOL detects it automatically when you press Connect Wallet.
Solflare
A powerful non-custodial wallet with hardware wallet support. Works exactly the same way — install it, connect, and bet.
Connecting only shares your public address with betSOL. Your private keys never leave the wallet, and no transaction can happen without you approving it explicitly.
Reading the odds
Every match shows three outcomes in the classic 1X2 format:
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | The home team wins |
| X | The match ends in a draw |
| 2 | The away team wins |
Odds are decimal. Your potential return is simply your stake multiplied by the odd. For example, 2 SOL at odds of 3.30 returns 6.60 SOL — your 2 SOL stake plus 4.60 SOL profit. Results are settled on 90 minutes plus stoppage time; extra time and penalties do not count for 1X2 markets.
Placing a bet
- 01
Connect your wallet using the button in the header.
- 02
Browse the upcoming matches and tap the outcome you want to back (1, X or 2).
- 03
The bet slip opens. Enter your stake in SOL or use the quick amounts.
- 04
Review the potential return shown at the bottom of the slip.
- 05
Press Place bet and approve the transaction in your wallet.
Your bet appears immediately under My bets with its stake, odds and potential return. Bets are final once confirmed — there is no cash-out or cancellation.
Settlement & payouts
Markets are settled as soon as the official full-time result is confirmed. Winning bets are paid automatically to the wallet that placed them — there is nothing to claim and no withdrawal button. On Solana the payout transaction typically lands in under a second.
If a match is postponed, abandoned or cancelled, all stakes on that fixture are refunded in full to the original wallets, regardless of the score at the time.
Match rules
- 1X2 markets settle on the result after 90 minutes plus stoppage time.
- Extra time and penalty shoot-outs are not included in 1X2 settlement.
- Betting on a match closes at the scheduled kickoff time.
- The minimum stake is 0.05 SOL per bet. There is no maximum.
- Official FIFA results are the single source of truth for settlement.
Responsible play
Betting should stay fun. Only stake what you can afford to lose, set yourself a budget before the tournament starts, and stick to it. Odds always favour the book over a long enough run — treat any win as a bonus, not an income.
betSOL is intended for users aged 18 and over. If betting stops feeling like entertainment, take a break and seek help from a local support organisation.
