For these transactions, you acknowledge and agree that BLOK SPORTS has no control over any transactions on Polygon blockchain, the payment method to cover those fees, or the actual payments of such fees.

Refund Policy

Any stakes you place on a bet that have been accepted by another party (or that you accept from another party) are non-refundable as the product is virtual and is instantly staked.
