Market types and their closing schedules
We at romanobet offer markets across football, esports, and other sports. Each category has its own closing logic. Football markets (Liga 1, Piala Indonesia, Piala AFF, Champions League, Premier League) close subject to verification before the scheduled kickoff time. This window allows for last-minute team news or lineup changes. Once a match starts, some in-play markets may open, but pre-match markets are locked.
Esports markets (Mobile Legends, Free Fire, PUBG Mobile) close when the first game of a series begins. Tournament brackets and best-of-series formats mean closing times can vary match to match. We display the exact closing time for each game in the app, updated as tournament schedules shift. MotoGP and other motorsports markets close shortly before the race or qualifying session starts.
Live-dealer tables (blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Dragon Tiger) have no market closing time. Tables run 24/7, and you can join or leave at any moment. This makes live dealers ideal for users who want flexibility outside of scheduled sports events. Your balance is shared across all sections, so you can move funds between live tables and sportsbook markets instantly.
Why closing times matter
Markets close to prevent late information from skewing odds. If a team announces a key player injury minutes before kickoff, the odds would shift dramatically. By closing markets before the event starts, we ensure fairness and prevent arbitrage opportunities. Once a market closes, no new positions can be placed, though existing positions remain active.
For users, closing times create natural decision points. You have a window to research, compare odds, and place your position. The countdown timer in the app shows exactly how much time remains. Push notifications alert you when a market is closing soon, so you do not miss your opportunity.
Timezone handling and local time display
romanobet automatically detects your device timezone and displays all closing times in your local time. If you're in Jakarta and a Premier League match kicks off at 23:00 UTC, we show the closing time as 06:00 Jakarta time (UTC+7). This eliminates confusion when tracking international events. You do not need to manually convert times or worry about daylight saving transitions.
During Idul Fitri, Idul Adha, Imlek, or Nyepi holidays, some markets may have adjusted schedules or temporary closures. We notify users in advance if a market will be unavailable. Your account balance remains accessible, and you can still play live-dealer tables during holiday periods.
The app displays a calendar view of upcoming events with their closing times. You can filter by sport, league, or timezone to focus on markets relevant to you. Bookmarking favourite matches or teams lets you receive notifications when their markets open and close. This personalisation helps you stay on top of events without constant app checking.
If you're travelling between cities (say, from Bandung to Semarang), the app updates timezone automatically when you cross regions. Closing times adjust instantly, so you're always seeing accurate local times. This is especially useful during tournament season when events run across multiple timezones.
Deposit and withdrawal flow around market closing
Your account balance is available for deposits and withdrawals at any time, independent of market closing times. You can fund your account via DANA, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, or e-wallet. Deposits process within seconds for e-wallets and mobile banking; bank transfers may take longer depending on your bank's processing time. Withdrawals follow the same methods and typically settle within one business day.
If a market closes while you're in the middle of a deposit, your funds still arrive in your account. You simply cannot place new positions in that closed market until the next event opens. Existing positions remain active and will settle based on the event outcome. This separation between account funding and market availability means you're never locked out of your balance due to market closing times.
In-play markets and live updates
Some events open in-play markets after the pre-match market closes. For example, a football match may close its pre-match market at 14:45, but once the match starts at 15:00, an in-play market opens allowing you to place positions on live events (next goal scorer, next corner, match outcome). In-play markets have their own closing logic—they may close at halftime, at full-time, or at specific moments during play.
The romanobet app displays in-play markets separately from pre-match markets. You'll see a live score, current odds, and a countdown to the next closing window. In-play markets move faster than pre-match markets because odds shift with every goal, card, or significant event. If you prefer slower-paced betting, pre-match markets may suit you better. If you enjoy real-time action, in-play markets offer that engagement.

Account verification and market access
To place positions on any market, your romanobet account must be verified. Verification involves confirming your email, phone number, and identity. This typically completes within a few hours. Once verified, you can access all markets and deposit/withdraw funds. Unverified accounts can view markets and odds but cannot place positions or withdraw.
Your verification status is independent of market closing times. If a market closes while you're waiting for verification to complete, you simply cannot place a position in that market. However, once verification finishes, you can place positions in the next available market. Live-dealer tables do not require verification to play, though withdrawal of winnings does require a verified account.
