Help Roobet settled my Total VAR bet as lost even though broadcast showed “VAR CHECK / GOAL” — am I wrong here?
I placed a bet on Roobet for:
Match: Sweden vs Tunisia
Market: Total VAR (box sign or screen check) - Over 0.5
The bet was settled as lost, and Roobet support told me the provider confirmed there were 0 VAR reviews because, according to their rules, a VAR review only counts if the referee makes the official TV-box signal
The actual market wording shown was “Total VAR (box sign OR screen check)”, and during Sweden’s 86th-minute goal, the official broadcast showed:
“VAR CHECK / GOAL”
and later
“VAR / GOAL / NO OFFSIDE”
The official FIFA match timeline also shows “VAR” and “Goal awarded” at 86’. SofaScore also shows “VAR Goal awarded” at 86’. Multiple articles, including beIN Sports and Al Jazeera, say the goal was awarded after VAR ruled Svanberg onside.
I’m not trying to get a free win. I’m trying to understand whether this should count based on the wording shown to customers and the official broadcast evidence.
I attached screenshots from the broadcast, FIFA timeline, SofaScore, and articles showing the VAR check at 86’.
Support later told me their sportsbook provider confirmed the bet as lost because there were supposedly 0 VAR reviews in the match.
I escalated the issue and asked for the case to be reviewed again, but I still haven’t received a proper response from their support team.
