All you need to know about Betfair

Betfair is one of the world’s best-known bookmakers, operating since 2000. Mostly known for its exchange market and community, it also offers online sports betting, online casino, online poker, bingo and other games. In 2016 it merged with Irish bookmaker Paddy Power.

Now a truly global brand, it has established a reputation not only in most of Europe, but also in Australia, South America, Central America and several US states.

For a brand as big as Betfair, there is a strong focus on customer service, with a very simple and easy to use online interface that can be accessed from a smartphone, as well as a mobile app for Android and iOS. Customer support, which operates 24/7, is available in English, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish, via email, phone and live chat. Telephone betting is also an option, as long as you wager £50 or more.

Often the betting site also offers a no deposit bonus to its users, which allows them to win big money at the betting site without any risk or deposit.

Although it is the Exchange section that Betfair is really famous for, the normal sportsbook section also has a very rich offer. It offers odds on football, horse racing, cycling and many other sports, but also special markets such as cards, corners and player specifal markets.

There are plenty of outright markets on Betfair, but the Asian handicap is missing from the betting site’s offering. Betfair works with an average payout of 93%, which is average.

Betfair also has a cashout option, which is very popular with bettors, where you can set up an early payout, either fully or partially. Also exclusively available at this bookmaker is the #OddsOnThat betting option, where you can request increased odds from the bookmaker on certain markets.

Betfair also offers streaming options for a number of sports, including La Liga, Bundesliga, Tennis Grand Slams and NBA matches.

You can deposit and withdraw to Betfair from a variety of online wallets, but they also accept VISA and MasterCard. The fastest ways to pay out are online wallets such as Paypal, Skrill or Neteller, which usually take up to 24 hours to process

With Betfair Exchange, you can bet against other players, not the bookmaker, so you have the opportunity to offer odds to other players. Here you will find the largest and most sophisticated Exchange section in the world, which has been a favourite of the Betfair community for years.

The Betfair exchange commission averages 5%, which is always deducted from the winning side’s profit, but even with this you can often find better odds than other bookmakers offer.

The Betfair account also includes an Exchange account, so you don’t need to open an Exchange profile, you can easily play both places at the same time after logging in.

The Betfair Community is a community forum where users can ask each other for advice, discuss what’s happening in the world of sports and share tips. There are also several professional topics and chat rooms for sports bettors who want to discuss almost any topic.

Here you can even find a community for those interested in horse racing, poker or casino, but you can also talk politics or even chat to Betfair developers. And the Betfair Trading Community will help you navigate the world of the exchange.
