1. 1
   Races appear automatically on Thursdays

   You don't need to create them. Check the Upcoming tab on Thursday mornings — scraped MRU races will be listed with current odds pulled from the tote.
2. 2
   Odds refresh every 5 minutes on race day

   The system automatically updates all runner odds every 5 minutes while the race meeting is live. Users see the most current odds available.
3. 3
   Manual edit locks the odds permanently

   If you manually overwrite any odds on a scraped race, the automatic 5-minute updates stop for that race. The odds you set will stay fixed. Only do this intentionally.
4. 4
   Bets close and results settle automatically

   The system stops accepting bets at race time and settles results automatically upon completion. You do not need to manually settle scraped MRU races.

HK races are scraped as tote (parimutuel) odds, which fluctuate based on the betting pool. Before making a HK race visible to users, you must convert to fixed odds manually:

1. 1
   Find the HK race in Upcoming

   It will appear automatically once scraped. Keep it hidden from users until odds are set.
2. 2
   Click Edit and update each runner's odds

   Replace the tote values with your fixed odds. Once saved, these odds are locked — the scraper will not overwrite them.
3. 3
   Show the race to users

   Once fixed odds are in place, set the race to visible. Settlement is automatic once results come through.

Use + Create Race for any race not covered by the scraper — special events, alternate markets, or test races.

1. 1
   Click + Create Race (top right)

   Fill in race name, date, time, and runners with their fixed odds.
2. 2
   Set visibility

   Save as hidden to prepare in advance, or set live immediately. Odds on manually created races are always fixed — they won't auto-update.
3. 3
   Confirm and save

   The race appears in Upcoming and is logged in the Audit trail.

All games are entered by hand. Click + Create Game (top right) and fill in the teams, date, time, stage/group label, and fixed odds for all three markets (Home Win, Draw, Away Win).

• Show — makes a hidden game visible (sets to Open)
• Suspend — closes the market without hiding the game; use at kickoff
• Edit — update teams, date, time, or odds before the game goes live
• Settle — enter the 90-minute score and trigger payouts
• Void — cancel the game and refund all bets

1. 1
   Suspend the game at kickoff

   Click Suspend when the match starts. This stops users from placing new bets while the match is in progress.
2. 2
   Wait for the 90-minute final score

   Settlement is based on the 90-minute score only. Extra time, penalties, and golden goals do not count. Always confirm the official full-time result before settling.
3. 3
   Click Settle and enter the result

   Select the winning outcome (Home / Draw / Away) based on the 90-minute score. Confirm to trigger payouts to all winning bettors.

Any new user who registers appears at the top of the Users tab under PENDING APPROVAL, highlighted in orange. The count also shows in the top-right ● N PENDING indicator throughout the dashboard.

1. 1
   Review the applicant's name and email

   Check it looks legitimate before approving.
2. 2
   Click Approve to grant access

   The user moves to the active list with a starting balance. They receive a notification via Telegram.

Click Edit next to any user to open the User Detail panel. You can also search by name or email using the search bar at the top of the list.

When you click Edit, a panel opens showing the user's current balance, total bets placed, and fields to make changes.

1. 1
   Check the current Balance and Total Bets

   These are read-only displays showing the user's live state. Confirm you have the right user before making any change.
2. 2
   Enter the new amount in Override Balance

   Type the full new balance — this replaces the current amount entirely. For example, if the user has 1,500 VC and you want to add 500, enter 2000, not 500.
3. 3
   Enter a Reason (mandatory)

   This field is required. Write a clear reason such as "Beta re-credit", "Bonus top-up", or "Correction for failed settlement". This is logged in the Audit trail.
4. 4
   Click Save

   The balance updates immediately and the action is logged under the user's account in the Audit trail.

Use + Create User to add a user directly without them going through the registration flow. Useful for staff testers or pre-approved members.
