VAR GOAL GUARANTEE

Q: Which sportsbook sites offer VAR Goal Guarantee?

Unibet is proud to offer VAR Goal Guarantee — our version of VAR payouts, covering First Goalscorer, Anytime Goalscorer, and Last Goalscorer markets on Premier League and Community Shield matches. While other bookmakers run similar VAR sportsbook promotion offers, Unibet's VAR Goal Guarantee stands as the VAR goal guarantee number one choice for UK and Ireland customers thanks to its simple, player-first approach to VAR payouts.

Q: Which markets are eligible for VAR Goal Guarantee?

VAR Goal Guarantee covers First Goalscorer, Anytime Goalscorer (including PowerSub) and Last Goalscorer markets on Premier League and Community Shield matches. These VAR payouts apply whether your selection is placed as a Single, an Accumulator, or as part of a Bet Builder.

Q: Does VAR Goal Guarantee apply to in-play bets?

No. VAR Goal Guarantee only applies to pre-match bets. In-play bets placed after kick-off do not qualify for VAR payouts under this promotion, so make sure your selection is placed before the match starts.

Q: What happens if the goal was never awarded by the referee in the first place?

VAR Goal Guarantee only applies when the on-field referee has officially awarded the goal and it is later disallowed following a VAR review. If a goal was never awarded to begin with, this promotion does not apply and the bet will be settled on the official match result as normal.

Q: Can I use VAR Payouts alongside other betting markets?

Yes. VAR Goal Guarantee sits alongside our full range of football betting and sports betting markets, so you can combine eligible goalscorer selections with other bets as part of your regular matchday routine.

VAR rules it out? Your goalscorer still counts.

There’s nothing worse than seeing your goalscorer find the net, only for VAR to rule it out.

With VAR Goal Guarantee, we'll still settle your player as a goalscorer on eligible bets when a goal awarded by the referee is later disallowed following a VAR intervention.

How It Works:

Pick your goalscorer
Place a pre-match bet on a First Goalscorer, Anytime Goalscorer (including PowerSub) or Last Goalscorer market on a Premier League or Community Shield match.
They find the net
Your selected player scores and the referee awards the goal, but VAR intervenes and the goal is disallowed.
Your goalscorer still counts
We'll still settle your player as a goalscorer under VAR Goal Guarantee.

VAR may rule out the goal, but your goalscorer still counts with us.

VAR Payout at Unibet UK

Unibet is raising the bar for football betting with a brand-new VAR sportsbook promotion: VAR Goal Guarantee. Now, if your goal scorer is ruled out by VAR, we've still got you covered. This is one of the fairest VAR payouts on the market, built entirely in favour of our players.

How Does VAR Usually Work in Football?

VAR (Video Assistant Referee) helps on-field referees correct clear and obvious errors during a match. It reviews:

Goals and goal-related offences
Penalty decisions
Direct red card incidents
Mistaken identity in awarding cards

When it comes to goals specifically, VAR checks for offside, handball, or fouls in the build-up — and can overturn a goal even after it's been awarded and celebrated. That's exactly the situation our VAR payouts are designed to protect you from.

A familiar scenario: You back a striker to score first. He does — the whole stadium celebrates — but a VAR review spots a marginal offside and the goal is chalked off. Normally, that's a losing bet through no fault of your own. It's this exact heartbreak that our VAR payouts exist to fix, giving punters a fairer result when the officials rule against them.

How Does VAR Payouts Work at Unibet?

Pick your goalscorer: Place a pre-match bet on First Goalscorer, Anytime Goalscorer (including PowerSub), or Last Goalscorer for a Premier League or Community Shield match. Check our latest football odds before you settle on a selection.
They find the net: Your selected player scores and the referee awards the goal.
VAR intervenes: If the goal is later disallowed following review, don't worry.
Your goalscorer still counts: We settle your player as a winning goalscorer under VAR Goal Guarantee.
