Canceling or declining a wager

Changed your mind about a bet? Here's how to cancel or decline wagers.

Declining a wager request

If someone sends you a wager you don't want:

1. Open the pending wager
2. Tap Decline
3. Optionally add a message explaining why
4. The wager is canceled

No funds are affected since you never accepted.

Canceling a wager you created

Before anyone accepts

1. Go to your pending wagers
2. Find the wager you created
3. Tap Cancel Wager
4. Confirm cancellation

The wager disappears and invitees are notified.

After someone accepted

Once a wager is accepted by all parties:

• You cannot unilaterally cancel
• All participants must agree to void the bet
• Use the wager chat to discuss

Mutual cancellation

To cancel an accepted wager:

1. Open the active wager
2. Tap Request Cancellation
3. Other participants receive the request
4. Everyone must approve
5. Once all approve, funds are returned

When you might cancel

Legitimate reasons

• Round is canceled due to weather
• A player can't make it
• Bet was set up incorrectly
• Mutual agreement to call it off

Not great reasons

• You're losing and want out
• You realized the other player is better
• You changed your mind without cause

Canceling accepted bets without good reason damages trust with your playing partners.

What happens to the money

Declined wager

No money was held, nothing changes.

Canceled before acceptance

No money was held, nothing changes.

Mutual cancellation after acceptance

Escrowed funds are returned to each player's wallet.

If someone won't agree to cancel

If you request cancellation but others decline:

• The wager remains active
• It will settle normally based on results
• You cannot force cancellation

This protects against one player trying to back out unfairly.

Round didn't happen

If the round is canceled entirely:

• Wagers tied to that round are voided
• Funds return to all players
• No action needed from you

Disputing vs. canceling

Canceling: Mutually agreeing to void a bet before or during a round.

Disputing: Challenging the outcome after a round completes. See our article on disputing wagers.
