    I made my £25 deposit with a visa debit card but later received an e-mail saying they hadn't been able to verify my age from 'publicly available information' but this could be done with a credit card as you needed to be 18 to have one. I think you can have a debit visa card from 17(?) so can't necessarily verify from that.


    When the verification notice came I phoned Betfair, and the customer services person said I had been quick off the mark when I explained what card I used. He said it would take a couple of minutes for my card to register I used debit visa. And indeed when I went back to the screen all was well and I could bet. Money now refunded to my card. Electron and Solo are the ones most requiring identification.

  • I set up an account via quid co for £10 and bet it on the national. It has now tracked at £50 on quid co (Not guaranteed of course) If I bet a FURTHER £15 on the race can I expect to get £25 back in my account 24 hours after the race as people have said or is it only paid if all the bets are placed at the same time?

    :mad: Have just spent a very frustrating half an hour trying to place bets and still not quite sur what I've done !!!

    When I go to log ut it says I have unmatched bets - what does this mean please? I placed a couple of wins on the main bit and then some each way bets on the 'quick bet' thingy. Now need to lie down in a dark room :eek:
    Me too, my head's in tatters took me almost four hours to sort out and now I am starting to doubt if I entered the code as my printout does not show it:exclamati

    In my betting it says

    4 to be placed

    does that mean im backing each way and do i put £5.00 in the stake if i wish it to be £2.50 each way?

    sorry but im new to this and just want some advice, will thank all who help later.

    WIN

    Bet for horse to win

    Place

    A Place Market is a market in which you win if your horse finishes in a place position for that race. (i.e positions 1-4)

    Each Way


    An "Each Way" bet means that you bet on a horse both winning and being placed. If the horse wins, you win both bets. If the horse is placed, you win only the place bet.

    no you are not

    the Quidco offer is less now but you still have an hour

    the Quidco offer is for new Betfair accounts ONLY right? or is anyone who deposits £10 and bets it on the Grand National?

    I've never used quidco or anything like it before. :o

    mable if you used a debit visa card there was no need to pay the £2 vertification fee! the computer just need a couple of minutes to register the card you were using. Any quickly place your bets time is running out.

    Good luck

    Oh well its been a learning curve for me. If I had gone to the cinema for a bit of excitement it would have cost me £7.00 so I have saved £5.00.

    Best of luck

    No you would put £2.50 on the 5 horses then go to the win market and put £2.5 on the same 5 horses there
