New Sky Bet AccaFreeze!

New Sky Bet AccaFreeze!

End the game your way with SkyBet bookmaking company!

Has a late goal ever ruined your acca? Well, now you can take those late goals out of the equation and end the game your way with NEW Sky Bet AccaFreeze! Build a match result acca of 5+ legs and you’ll get the option to freeze one of the scores to win the leg early! Maybe your underdog has taken a 1-0 lead. Perhaps you sense VAR, or a super-sub, is going to change the game… then FREEZE! 

Here’s how it works: Build an acca with 5 teams or more and add to your bet slip, including at least 1 team to win. Once a qualifying bet has been placed, you'll be able to see it in your 'My Bets'. Within 'My Bets', once one of the teams you've selected to win goes ahead in the match, the option to freeze will appear. 

Select the team you want to freeze the score for. You’ll get asked to ‘Confirm Selection to Freeze’. If you’re sure, freeze away! If you change your mind, just deselect the team to cancel it. Note, you only get one freeze per acca and a leg can’t be unfrozen once confirmed.

Once a leg is frozen it will appear with a blue tick alongside your remaining legs. The score you froze will be shown in blue alongside a live view of the game. If your remaining selections in your acca go on to win, alongside your frozen leg, your bet will be settled as a winner. The odds will always be the same as what they were when you placed the bet!

Brand New Sky Bet AccaFreeze is built to give you more control when betting on accas. It is easy to use but if you have some questions, you’ll find the answers below. If you’ve still got questions, get in touch with our customer support team and they will be able to help give you the answers you need.

Can I bet on other sports and use AccaFreeze? No. Only Football full time result markets within select competitions will qualify you. Can I bet on the draw with AccaFreeze? The draw outcome will qualify you for AccaFreeze but you won’t be able to freeze a draw leg at any time. Only win selections can be frozen.

Can I use AccaFreeze with a free bet? Yes, you can use a free bet to qualify for AccaFreeze. Why can’t I use AccaFreeze? As with any new feature, it may be that we’re not offering it to all customers yet, all the criteria hasn’t been met (see significant terms) or it is possible that you are restricted in some way. Read our article here to find out more about restrictions.

Sky Bet will only offer AccaFreeze on markets where cash out is available so if you have added a selection to your accumulator which is for a 'non cash out' market, this will remove it's availability. For more information on which markets are eligible for cash out, read our Cash Out Eligible Markets article.

On rare occasions, we may lose our live feed which would result in AccaFreeze becoming unavailable. Subsequently, we cannot guarantee 100% availability. As per our Sky Betting and Gaming General Terms & Conditions we do not accept any liability when this service cannot be provided.

I’ve placed my bet but I don’t know what to do now? You’ll be able to see freeze opportunities in My Bets under the ‘Open Bets’ section. Once a leg is in-play and is in a winning position, you’ll see the option to freeze. Note, your games don’t have to be in-play at the same time, but you will only have the opportunity to freeze one leg per bet.

How do I know what markets AccaFreeze is on? AccaFreeze only applies to pre-kick off Full Time Result markets. In the vast majority of cases, the AccaFreeze symbol (a blue snowflake on a yellow background, see image below) will appear on your acca bet once you have placed it.

What can I do if the AccaFreeze symbol does not show up on my bet? On some occasions, we aren't able to confirm AccaFreeze availability until a game kicks off. So it could be that it will be available later on. However, if you do not want to take this risk you can cash out your bet and place it on a selection that is available for AccaFreeze. For more information on Cash Out, read our Cash Out article.

Can I use 2up Full Time Result markets to qualify? No, you’ll only be able to use the Full Time Result market. My leg is suspended and won’t allow me to Freeze, why is this? There are a number of reasons why your leg/selection might be suspended. You can read more about this on the bookmaker’s cash out article.

If I use AccaFreeze will it count towards Sky Bet Club? Yes, using AccaFreeze will qualify you for Sky Bet Club. Will I be able to cash out if I've frozen a leg and will it impact my value? You will still be able to cash out your bets if you've frozen a leg, the frozen leg will add value to your cash out as per winning settled legs.

The match is in-play but I am unable to freeze, why is this? Games that have reached extra time, aren’t in a winning position or are suspended will be not shown the freeze option. Additionally, please check that your bet is eligible.

Do you offer AccaFreeze on enhanced accumulators? No. Enhanced accumulators such as Price Boost are not included in AccaFreeze. For more information around enhanced accumulators, read our article here. If I have frozen a leg with a goal that is overturned by VAR, will my freeze still count?

Frozen legs will still count even if the goal is overturned by VAR. During VAR queries, it may be that the freeze function is suspended whilst we await the decision. What happens if a leg is abandoned/postponed? If you freeze a leg and that game is then abandoned; your freeze will stand. 

What happens if I've frozen a leg in my bet and another game is abandoned? The bet will be settled with the remaining legs including frozen legs. What happens if I haven't frozen a leg in my bet yet but a game is abandoned? If this causes you to have less than 5 legs left in your bet, you won’t be able to freeze a remaining leg. What happens if I haven't frozen a leg in my bet yet but a game is postponed? If this causes you to have less than 5 legs left in your bet, you won’t be able to freeze a remaining leg.
