Champions and bowling limits
The 2026 champions were the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who beat the Gujarat Titans in the final. Key rules of the game include bowling restrictions, with each bowler limited to four overs per innings - enforcing a rotation among a team's bowlers.
Rain, ties and the Super Over
In case of bad weather, both sides must play 5 overs to ensure a result. If not, bets revert to cancelled. For tiebreaker "Super Overs", bookmakers use the official winner in the match result. The Super Over runs do not count towards the total score.
Mobile betting and deposits
Bookmakers will have mobile versions to place bets, and many matches are cash out eligible. When depositing, debit cards, PayPal, and online banking options are allowed.
How an IPL match bet settles in rain or a tie
| Example: ₦1,000 on a team at 1.80, full 20 overs, team wins = ₦1,800 | Settled on the official result |
|---|---|
| Rain cuts the overs, team wins on DLS = ₦1,800 | Weather-affected bets follow the official result |
| Fewer than 5 overs each, no result = ₦1,000 back | No official result, all bets cancelled |
| Minimum play for a result | Both teams face 5 overs each |
| Tie, team wins the Super Over = ₦1,800 | Super over winner is the official result |
| Top batsman tied, ₦1,000 at 4.00 = ₦2,000 | Dead heat rules apply |
| Runs scored in a Super Over | Do not count for run markets |
| Team runs or handicap in a reduced-overs match | Cancelled |
