How megahoky Market Closing Times Work
A market closes when we stop accepting new bets on a specific event. For football matches, the market typically closes subject to verification before kickoff. For esports tournaments like Mobile Legends and Free Fire, the market closes when the match starts. For PUBG Mobile and other esports, closing times depend on the tournament format and are announced in advance.
Once a market closes, you cannot place new bets on that event. Existing bets remain active and settle according to the match outcome. If you attempt to place a bet after closing, the system rejects it and returns your stake. This protects the integrity of the market and ensures all bets are placed before the outcome is determined.
megahoky displays a countdown timer for every market. The timer shows how many minutes and seconds remain before the market closes. When the timer reaches zero, the market locks and no further bets are accepted. You can see timers on the event detail page, in the betting slip, and in your account dashboard.
We send push notifications and email alerts when a market is about to close. Members can customize notification preferences in their account settings. Notifications typically arrive subject to verification, subject to verification, and subject to verification before closing. This gives you time to place final bets or adjust your strategy.
Market Closing Times by Event Type
Football markets close subject to verification before kickoff. Liga 1 matches, Piala AFF tournaments, Champions League, and Premier League all follow this standard. The exact closing time is displayed on the event page and in the countdown timer. If a match is delayed, the market closing time adjusts automatically.
Esports markets close when the match begins. Mobile Legends Professional League (MPL), Mobile Legends, Free Fire, and PUBG Mobile tournaments all close at match start. Tournament organizers publish schedules in advance, and megahoky syncs our closing times to the official schedule. If a match is postponed, the market closing time updates within subject to verification.
Live-dealer games (blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Dragon Tiger) do not have closing times. These games operate continuously, and you can place bets at any time. Each game round has a betting window — typically 30 to 60 seconds — during which you can place or modify bets. Once the betting window closes, the round begins and no new bets are accepted for that round.
Closing times are displayed in your local timezone
megahoky converts all closing times to your account's timezone setting. You can change your timezone in account preferences. This ensures you always see accurate closing times regardless of your location.
What Happens After a Market Closes
After a market closes, all bets placed before closing remain active and settle based on the event outcome. Bets placed after closing are rejected and your stake is returned immediately. Settlement typically occurs within subject to verification of the event ending, though some markets may take longer depending on official confirmation.
Winning bets are credited to your account as real balance. Losing bets are deducted from your balance. Cashback is calculated on net losses across all markets during the week and credited every Monday. Cashback applies to all closed markets equally — there is no distinction between early-closing and late-closing events.
If a market is voided (cancelled or postponed indefinitely), all bets are refunded. This happens if a match is abandoned, postponed beyond a certain date, or cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. Refunds are processed within 24 hours and appear as real balance in your account.
Managing Your Bets Around Closing Times
To avoid missing deadlines, check the countdown timer before placing bets. If a market is closing soon and you want to place a large bet, do so early to ensure it is accepted. If you are unsure about a bet, place it with time to spare rather than waiting until the last minute.
You can modify or cancel bets before a market closes. Open your betting slip, adjust your stake or selection, and resubmit. Cancellations are processed instantly and your stake is returned. Once a market closes, you cannot modify or cancel bets — they are locked in and will settle based on the outcome.
megahoky allows you to set bet limits and spending controls in your account preferences. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on total wagers. These limits help you manage your activity around market closing times and across all event types. Limits apply to all markets equally — football, esports, and live-dealer games.
Closing Times and Promotion Eligibility
All bets placed before market closing are eligible for cashback and tier rewards. Bets placed after closing are rejected and do not count toward your weekly activity or tier progression. This means timing your bets correctly ensures you maximize your rewards.
Welcome offers and reload bonuses apply to all markets regardless of closing time. Playthrough requirements are calculated on all eligible bets, including those placed just before closing. Referral bonuses are credited when your friend places their first bet on any market before closing.
During seasonal promotions — Liga 1 season, Piala AFF tournaments, Idul Fitri, Idul Adha, Imlek, and Nyepi — closing times remain unchanged. Promotional multipliers apply to all bets placed before closing. If a market closes during a promotion window, bets placed before closing receive the promotional bonus.

Payment Methods and Withdrawal Around Closing Times
Deposits via DANA, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, and bank transfers (mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet) are processed instantly. You can deposit and place bets before a market closes without delay. Withdrawals are processed after market settlement and are not affected by closing times.
If you place a bet just before closing and it wins, your winnings are credited to your account within subject to verification of settlement. You can then withdraw via your preferred payment method. Withdrawal processing times depend on your tier status and the payment method; standard processing takes one to three business days.
