Understanding Market Closing Time on livebet
Market Closing Time on livebet operates on two primary tracks: sportsbook markets and slot tournaments. For sportsbook markets, closing time is tied to the start of a match or event. Once a Liga 1 fixture kicks off, for example, we close the pre-match market and transition to live-betting markets with different odds and available selections. This prevents late bets placed after the match has begun and ensures fair play for all participants.
For slot tournaments, Market Closing Time refers to the end of the tournament window. When a daily tournament closes, we lock the leaderboard, calculate final rankings, and process any associated rewards or settlements. You cannot join a tournament after its closing time, and any sessions you play after the window ends do not count toward that tournament's leaderboard. We announce all closing times in advance through your livebet account dashboard and via email notifications if you have opted in.
How closing times affect your active bets
When a market closes on livebet, any bets you have already placed remain active and will settle according to the match or event outcome. Closing the market simply prevents new bets from being accepted. If you have an open bet on a Liga 1 fixture and the market closes at kickoff, your bet stands and will resolve once the match concludes.
If you attempt to place a bet after a market has closed, the platform will reject your bet slip and display a message indicating that the market is no longer accepting new wagers. This is a standard safeguard to ensure fair play and prevent late bets placed with information about match events that have already occurred.
Slot Tournament Closing Times and Leaderboard Finalization
Our slot tournaments on livebet—featuring Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, and Habanero games—operate on fixed schedules with clearly defined closing times. Daily tournaments typically close at midnight (server time), weekly tournaments close at the end of the calendar week, and monthly tournaments close on the last day of the month. We display these times in your tournament details so you know exactly when each event ends.
When a tournament closes, we immediately lock the leaderboard and calculate final rankings. Your position on the leaderboard becomes permanent, and any sessions you play after the closing time do not affect your standing in that tournament. If you are competing for a top position, it is important to complete your sessions before the closing time arrives. We recommend checking the countdown timer in your tournament details to avoid missing the deadline.
Key takeaways

- Sportsbook markets close at match start; slot tournaments close at announced times
- Bets placed before closing remain active; new bets are rejected after closing

- All closing times are published in advance on your livebet account dashboard
Time Zones and Regional Scheduling
livebet operates across multiple regions, and Market Closing Times are displayed in server time (typically UTC+7 for Southeast Asia). If you are accessing livebet from Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, or Semarang, the times you see in your account dashboard are already adjusted to your local time zone. However, if you are traveling or accessing from a different region, you may need to convert the displayed time to your current location.
We recommend checking your account settings to confirm your registered time zone. If your time zone is incorrect, you can update it in your account preferences. This ensures that all closing times, tournament schedules, and match start times are displayed accurately for your location. If you have questions about a specific closing time or tournament schedule, our support team can clarify the exact timing in your local time zone.
Transparency in timing is essential to fair play. We publish all closing times in advance and display them in your local time zone so you can plan your sessions with confidence.
Account Verification and Deposit Timing
To participate in livebet markets and tournaments, your account must be verified and funded. We require identity verification (KYC) before you can place bets or join tournaments. This process typically takes a few minutes to complete. Once verified, you can deposit funds using DANA, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, or bank transfer (mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet).
Deposits via mobile wallets process within minutes, allowing you to fund your account quickly and join tournaments before their closing times. Bank transfers may take longer depending on your bank's processing schedule. We recommend depositing well in advance of any tournament or market closing time you wish to participate in. If your deposit is delayed and you miss a tournament closing time, you can join the next scheduled tournament once your funds are available.

Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, and Habanero Tournament Schedules
Our slot tournaments on livebet feature games from three major providers: Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, and Habanero. Each provider's games have their own tournament schedules, and we rotate which games are featured in each tournament window. Pragmatic Play tournaments often run daily with multiple time slots; PG Soft tournaments typically feature weekly events; Habanero tournaments are scheduled monthly with extended competition windows.
We publish the full tournament calendar at least one week in advance. You can view upcoming tournaments, their closing times, eligible games, and participant eligibility requirements from your livebet account dashboard. This allows you to plan your play sessions and decide which tournaments align with your schedule and preferences. If you miss a tournament closing time, the next scheduled tournament will be announced shortly after.
- Pragmatic Play tournaments
- Daily and weekly events with multiple closing times throughout the week. Games include Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, and Fortune Tiger.
- PG Soft tournaments
- Weekly tournaments with closing times on Sunday evening (server time). Featured games rotate regularly.
- Habanero tournaments
- Monthly tournaments with extended competition windows. Closing time is the last day of the calendar month.
- Mixed-provider tournaments

Withdrawal Requests and Account Settlement
When you request a withdrawal from your livebet account, the timing of your request relative to market closing times can affect processing. If you request a withdrawal while you have active bets or tournament sessions in progress, we may place a temporary hold on your account until those bets settle or tournaments close. This is a standard safeguard to ensure accurate account balances and prevent disputes.
We recommend completing your withdrawal requests after your active bets have settled and any tournaments you are participating in have closed. This allows us to process your withdrawal immediately without delays. Withdrawal processing times depend on your chosen payment method: mobile wallet withdrawals typically complete within hours, while bank transfers may take 1–2 business days. We do not charge withdrawal fees, though your payment provider may apply their own charges.
Account Security and Two-Factor Authentication
We protect your livebet account with password encryption and optional two-factor authentication (2FA). Enabling 2FA adds an extra layer of security: each time you log in from a new device, you receive a code via email or SMS that you must enter to complete the login process. This prevents unauthorized access even if someone obtains your password.
If you notice unusual activity on your account—unexpected bets placed, withdrawals you did not authorize, or login attempts from unfamiliar locations—contact our support team immediately. We can freeze your account, review transaction history, and help you regain control. Always log in through the official livebet website or app to manage your account; do not click links in unsolicited emails or messages claiming to be from livebet.
