LONDON—Bookmakers around the world are facing a rare double pay-out scenario after agreeing to settle bets on Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations following an unprecedented CAF ruling. The bookmakers had already paid out millions of dollars on bets for Senegal to win the tournament, to left the trophy, for the draw in normal time. However, after CAF overturned the result and gave Morocco the win on a 3-0 scoreline, bookmakers have found themselves in an unprecedented position.
However, they have committed themselves to honouring the bets of those who gambled that Morocco would win the final. Paddy Power said: “Following this massive decision to crown Morocco as AFCON champions, we felt it was only right that our customers were also rewarded. “We are always here to right wrongs and put our customers first.” Betclic said: “We announce the payment of all bets related to the victory of Morocco: “While obviously maintaining the bets that had been validated and paid concerning the victory of Senegal, the regulations allow that bets be paid according to the initial results provided by the organizer.
“At Betclic, everything starts from a passion for sports and those moments that make us vibrate. Two months after a final, seeing its result completely overturned is an unprecedented situation. In this exceptional context, we have decided to take this new sporting reality into account by validating the stakes that declared Morocco as the winner.” Everything you need to know about Senegal vs Morocco payout
