Understanding the "Danger Zone" on Sportmarket
Placing a live bet and suddenly seeing a red "Danger" status?
Don’t panic - this just means your bet has entered the danger zone, a temporary hold during live play.
⚠️ What Is the Danger Zone?
The Danger Zone status appears during live betting when the system detects a potentially game-changing moment.
This can include:
🟥 Red or yellow cards
⚽ Penalty kicks
🤕 Injuries
🧐 VAR reviews
🎯 Dangerous free kicks
During this time, your bet is paused and marked as pending, because the outcome could be directly influenced by what’s happening on the field.
⏳ What Happens to My Bet?
Once in the danger zone, one of two things will happen:
✅ Game resumes normally → Your bet is accepted and processed as usual.
❌ Significant event occurs (like a goal or red card) → Your bet is not accepted and funds are returned.
🕐 How Long Does It Last?
The danger zone usually lasts just a few minutes.
We recommend waiting about 5 minutes and refreshing the page to check the status.
If it stays in “Danger” for more than 10 minutes, feel free to contact us via:

🧠 Why Does It Happen?
If you notice this happening often, it’s likely because your bets are placed during high-risk moments; like just before a corner, free kick, or penalty.
These are moments where the game could quickly swing, so bookmakers pause to protect fairness and integrity.
