    I'm sorry - I'm in a rush and don't have time to read the whole thread. DH registered and placed his £25 bets last night as did I. This morning he had an email requesting verification of his age, he's scanned his Driving Lic in and emailed it back. My account has had the £25 credit sitting in it since this morning but his still hasn't - is it because of the age proof thing - will he not get his £25 refund and what about his bets will they be void - anyone know.

    Thanks :beer:

    If he has deposited and bet, then he can check the bets.

    click on 'my account' then a new window or pop up appears and then click on current bets, look for 'matched' ones.

    so is normal that the ones i haven't bet on say -£8 in red?? and the ones I have bet on say £xxx in green?? Sorry, I am just terrified I have messed up somewhere, but it has only taken the amount i have bet from my account. If anyone can offer me reassurance that would be brilliant!!! Good luck everyone

    If you bet on multiple horses you will have different + and - numbers depending on which horse wins.

    To check your bets, just click on 'my account', then a new window or tab will pop up.
    click on current bets and then check for 'matched bets'

    Thanks Misskool - we checked and the bets are all there and matched - so they should be ok? What about the £25, he placed his bets before me yet I've had mine and he hasn't. Mind you I opened my account a couple of days earlier (got £30 quidco, he did it last night and got £50 quidco - there's no justice lol)

    Just wondering if anyone that used the sp has received the £25 back already?

    I am assuming that it wont be until after the start of the race once the bet is matched. I know it can be up till 24 hours after but I have only seen people saying they already have £25.

    As its about to go off - Betfair aim to settle the markets 10 minutes after the end of the race. Winnings will then be credited back to your account - less the 5% commission that Betfair take on winnings.

    Good luck everyone
