    They have no hesitation in taking my money though, my 25 pounds is already in their account. I could not even withdraw it without proofing my age.

    which is standard practice in the betting world whether we like it or not.

    You may be able to place your bets but not withdraw winnings until your ID has been verified.

    Anyone know how long they take to check how old you are??? I've just signed up and had to email over a copy of may passport but I don't think they'll let me place a bet until they've checked it!

    I have the same problem/question.

    Thought I would not bother about betting but silly me, I deposited 25 pounds into betfair before know they need to check my age.

    I only use AmEx card, no visa and master card, so sent photo email instead.

    Just noticed that Quidco have reduced the offer from £50 to £30, that's not nice for newbies!!

    Hi,

    I have just sent an email with my passport copy to prove my age. Do you know how long they take to verify? Wonder if I will be able to place a bit before the race start.

    They have no hesitation in taking my money though, my 25 pounds is already in their account. I could not even withdraw it without proofing my age.


    I had to do the same as you, I was allowed to bet straight away, I think we may have to wait to withdraw, but fine to place a bet.

    Good luck

    You CAN place a bet. You just can't withdraw any winnings until you prove your age.
