2. EarlyGoals 2 by 30 (First 30 Minutes Market)
What it means
This is a time-based betting market.
You are betting that:
The match will have at least 2 goals scored within the first 30 minutes
It does NOT matter what happens after 30 minutes.
Key rule
- Goals must be scored from 0:00 to 29:59
- After 30 minutes, goals no longer count for this bet
Example 1 (WIN)
Match: Liverpool vs Tottenham
- 12’ → Goal (1–0)
- 27’ → Goal (2–0)
2 goals before 30 minutes = WIN
Even if the match ends 2–2 or 2–3, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Example 2 (LOSE)
Match: Man City vs Everton
- 35’ → Goal (1–0)
- 70’ → Goal (2–0)
Only 0 goals before 30 minutes = LOSE
