How ibc First Goal markets operate
On ibc, First Goal is a single-event prediction market tied to live football matches. We define First Goal as the first successful goal scored in a match, regardless of which half or minute it occurs. Our platform publishes the rules clearly before each draw: which teams are playing, the venue, the scheduled kick-off time, and the market cut-off (the time after which no new entries are accepted). Liga 1 matches typically run from August through December; Piala AFF tournaments occur in December and January; international fixtures (Champions League, World Cup qualifiers) follow their own calendars.
Our users select a team they believe will score first. When the match starts and a goal is scored, we verify which team scored and settle the market according to our published rules. We do not offer partial or "void" outcomes unless exceptional circumstances (match abandonment, fixture postponement) force us to refund the market. We notify our members of any disruption via our support channels and platform notification system.
Tournament scheduling on ibc
We organise First Goal draws into daily and weekly slots. On weekdays during Liga 1 season, we typically host 2–4 draws per day aligned with match schedules. During international tournaments (Piala AFF, World Cup qualifiers), we increase draw frequency to accommodate multiple matches across different kick-off times and time zones.
Our members receive calendar notifications when a new draw opens. They can enter, place their prediction, and watch the live match result settle the market in real time. We retain a small fee from each draw to cover platform operations and support costs.

Payment methods and account setup on ibc
To participate in First Goal draws on ibc, our members must complete account verification and fund their account using one of our supported payment methods. We accept deposits via DANA, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, and online payment mobile wallets, as well as bank transfers through e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, and online payment. Each payment rail processes deposits differently: mobile wallets typically complete instantly, while bank transfers may take 1–2 business hours depending on your issuing bank.
We require all new members to verify their identity using a government-issued ID (KTP, Paspor, or SIM) and provide a residential address. This verification step protects both our platform and our community. Once verified, members can deposit, place predictions, and withdraw winnings. Our withdrawal process mirrors our deposit options: wallet withdrawals typically settle within hours, while bank transfers follow standard banking timelines.
Our support team handles account queries during business hours. If your deposit fails to arrive, you lose your ID verification code, or you forget your login credentials, contact us via live chat or email. We aim to respond to payment queries within one business day. For urgent issues (e.g., a frozen account before a major tournament), our team prioritises chat support. We do not process refunds for user error (e.g., sending funds to the wrong wallet number) — verify all payment details before confirming a transaction.
Integrating First Goal with ibc slot games and live casino
First Goal is one market category within our broader ibc platform. Many of our members also play slot games — Aviator, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Fortune Tiger, and Mahjong Ways — as well as live-dealer tables (blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Dragon Tiger). We structure our draw calendar to avoid overlapping peak hours, so members can move between First Goal predictions and slot tournaments without missing entry windows.
Your ibc account balance pools across all game categories. When you withdraw, you are withdrawing from your total balance, not from a First Goal sub-account. This means deposits made for slot play can be used for First Goal, and vice versa. We recommend our members track their individual game histories using our account dashboard so they can monitor which category they are playing most.
Market rules and dispute resolution
We publish detailed rules for each First Goal market before it opens. The rules specify: the two competing teams, the competition (Liga 1, Piala AFF, Champions League, etc.), the venue, the scheduled kick-off time, and any special conditions (e.g., own goals count as if scored by the team benefiting). We settle markets based on the official match result published by the governing body (e.g., Liga Indonesia, AFC) within one hour of match conclusion.
If a match is abandoned, postponed, or cancelled before kick-off, we void the market and refund all entries. If a match is suspended mid-play and later resumed the same day, we continue from where it left off — no market void. If a match is abandoned permanently (e.g., weather, crowd safety), we void the market. Our support team notifies all affected members via email and in-app notification within two hours of the governing body's official announcement.
Disputes (e.g., a member believes we miscredited a goal) must be submitted to our support team within 48 hours of market settlement. We review video footage of the contested goal and consult the official match records. If we find an error, we correct the member's account and issue a settlement adjustment. If we uphold the original result, we explain our reasoning and close the dispute.
Support channels on ibc
Our support team is available via live chat (available during business hours, Monday–Friday 09:00–18:00 Jakarta time) and email ([email protected], typically answered within 24 hours). For First Goal disputes, we require a screenshot of the contested market and the match broadcast timestamp. Our team will investigate and respond with a resolution within 48 hours of receipt.
We also maintain an FAQ section covering common questions about First Goal rules, payment methods, account verification, and dispute procedures. Members can search the FAQ before opening a support ticket if they prefer self-service answers.
First Goal across Liga 1Piala AFFand international tournaments
On ibc, we align First Goal market calendars with major football fixtures. During Liga 1 season (typically August–December), we host First Goal draws for every match — home and away fixtures for all 18 clubs. Piala AFF tournaments (December–January) see daily First Goal draws as regional nations compete. International qualifiers (World Cup, AFC Cup) generate draws when Indonesian and neighbouring teams play. We also offer First Goal markets for select Champions League and Premier League fixtures, though availability depends on broadcasting rights and event timing.
Our members often concentrate activity around derby matches (Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, Semarang regional rivalries) and knockout-stage tournaments. We increase draw frequency and prize pools during these high-interest periods. We also publish historical First Goal statistics (past settlement patterns, goal timing distribution, team-specific scoring trends) in our member portal so users can research before entering a draw.
