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.

Don't wait for a reply as they did not reply to my "age confirmation" email. I just logged back in and placed my bets again and they were accepted. Good luck.

the quick bet screen is still frozen after I picked the horses and clicked 'place bet now'.....

and on my betfair account page: 'You do not have any current bets in this category'

i guess I shall close down the quick bet page and place bet on the normal screen instead?

Yes place it the old way

How fab, got my £30 tracking on Quidco, won £18.36 already( good old Pompey!) Just need Simon or Slim Pickings to win and I'll be QUIDS in. Hoping by mixing a football bet that I'll still get my £25, it does say sports bet so fingers crossed. Had a bit of trouble working out the Betfair site though wanted to put horses each way but didn't know how. Tried to ring OH, a bookie, but strangley he was too busy to help!!! Good Luck to everyone who has put a bet on xxxx

On the age thing I phoned helpline who checked my age by checking electrol roll(?) only took couple of mins.

From what I gather from other posts, they will remain unmatched until the start of the race if you have placed SP (starting price) bets.

you will need to send ID to get the £25 refund withdrawn

I've already withdrawn the £25 without verifying my age as it's not winnings.

If you go through the code on the betfair website itself, at the start it says 1 £25 bet or 5 £5 bets.
(this is a different code from the one martin posted)
Does this mean you cannot put, say, 2 pounds on one horse, and 3 on another etc?

Because my OH went through the betfair website and now thinks he may have messed it up with the codes etc.

Anyone know?

did you use a solo or electron card? if not you might not have had to send ID anyway
