What Happens If a Game Is Postponed on an Accumulator Bet365?

If a game in your Bet365 accumulator is postponed before kickoff, Bet365 usually voids that part of the bet and simply recalculates the odds based on the remaining selections.

So your accumulator doesn’t lose — it just continues without that leg. This is a relief if you’re sweating a multi-leg slip and one match suddenly drops off the schedule.

In cases like this, what happens if a game is postponed on an accumulator Bet365 depends on timing and the type of promotion or bonus you’ve used, but the general rule is fairly straightforward.

In this guide, we’ll break down exactly how it works, what exceptions to watch for, and how to check your updated bet status.

What happens if a game is postponed on an accumulator Bet365

When a game in your accumulator bet is postponed before it starts, Bet365 usually voids that leg.

They don’t cancel your whole bet — they simply remove the postponed match and recalculate your total accumulator odds based on the other selections that are still valid.

Let’s say you’ve placed a five-fold accumulator and one match is postponed. In that case, Bet365 will treat it as a four-fold. If it was a double and one match is postponed, your bet becomes a single.

This applies whether you placed your acca via the desktop site or the mobile app — the rule is the same.

However, this only holds true if the game is officially postponed before kick-off. Things get a little trickier if the game starts and then is abandoned or suspended midway.

What if a game is abandoned after it starts?

If a match begins but is later abandoned or suspended (due to weather, crowd trouble, etc.), the outcome depends on how long the game lasted and whether Bet365 chooses to settle the result or void the leg.

Most often, if the game isn’t completed within 48 hours of the original kickoff time, Bet365 will void that part of your acca.

That said, I’ve seen Bet365 sometimes wait to see if the match resumes quickly. They may hold off on settling the accumulator if it looks like the postponed game could resume soon, particularly in high-profile competitions.

Your bet might just be left unsettled until there’s a clear ruling.

So, if you're staring at a suspended match on your acca slip, be patient. Check Bet365’s “My Bets” tab — they usually flag legs that are pending or voided.

Does Bet365 ever resettle accumulators after a postponed game?

In general, no — once a leg is officially voided and the odds are recalculated, your accumulator is treated as a new bet without that leg.

Bet365 won’t go back and adjust the result later if the match is eventually played and your original pick would have won.

From what I’ve seen, this is why most serious bettors try to avoid including games in accumulators where there's any chance of postponement — like winter lower-league matches where bad weather is common.

How postponements affect accumulator promotions and bonuses

If you’ve claimed an accumulator bonus (like Bet365’s football acca bonus), you might wonder how voided legs impact that offer. The short answer: the bonus still applies, but only to the remaining selections.

So, if you had a five-leg acca with a 10% bonus, and one match is voided, it becomes a four-leg acca — and your bonus percentage is adjusted accordingly.

You can find the specific bonus table on the Bet365 site, but in general, the more legs you have, the bigger the bonus. Fewer legs mean a smaller boost.

The same logic applies to Bet365’s acca insurance (if you’re using a feature like “money back if one leg loses”) — a voided leg doesn’t count as a loss, so the insurance still works, just with the updated number of legs.

Where to check the status of your accumulator on Bet365

Your best bet is to head to the “My Bets” section in your Bet365 account. Here, you’ll see whether any leg has been voided or marked as postponed. If Bet365 has already recalculated your odds, it will be reflected in your potential payout.

Sometimes there's a short delay in updating the slip, especially during heavy matchdays, but in most cases, you’ll get clarity within a couple of hours.

If you're still unsure, you can always use Bet365’s live chat. In my experience, they’re quick to confirm the status of postponed matches and how they affect your bet.

Final thoughts on Bet365 accumulator postponements

Having a game postponed on your Bet365 accumulator can be frustrating, but thankfully it doesn’t always mean the end of your bet.

Bet365 usually voids that leg and recalculates your odds based on the rest — a pretty fair approach compared to some other bookmakers.

Still, it’s worth double-checking your bet slip and being cautious with games that might be at risk of delay.

If you rely heavily on accas, getting to know how these rules work can save you from unwanted surprises — or worse, thinking you’ve lost when your bet is still alive.
