    If you use a credit card to confirm your age do you have to deposit £2?

    If so would it be possible to then put the remaining £23 on a debit card?

    :confused: any help?

    Its a long time since I did it but I think the process would be to deposit £25 from the debit card and then validate £2 with the credit card. Dont forget about potential credit card fees as described in the first post. I'm not sure if the £2 is just reserved on your account or actually taken.

    Any placed finish would give you money even if it won :)
    You get money if your horse wins or comes 2nd,3rd or 4th
    I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something

    how did you prove your age if you dont mind me asking??

    It was mentioned earlier that you can telephone them(Betfair) and get verified by the electoral register. A coupld of people did that and it worked for them.

    Hope that helps!

    You've done this before :D

    At the bottom of 'my bets', there are 5 boxes, they're all ticked apart from av.odds. The 'matched bets', one is ticked. Is that right?
    Thanks

    thats just giving you information for your own reference - its not actually doing anything so it doesnt matter what you have ticked. Check under "my account" if you want to see anything specific.

    I've just done this and it asked me to verify my age. Tried to verify it with a visa debit card and it wouldn't take it. Called them and the guy said, a 16 year old can get a visa debit card so it wont accept it, the only way is to email the ID, which will take a day to confirm and accept. As I am at work tomorrow this isn't much good to me, so a complete waste of £25 and I don't think I can even bet until that has been verified, top one.

    You should be able to sort it out with them by checking the electoral register.

    from the Quidco site
    *Just as a quick note, we have had a few members report problems with tracking when using PayPal for the deposit, so we recommend using a credit card or bank account. If you do use a credit card, please make sure you deposit enough to cover the credit card fee as well as the £10 deposit. Last we checked, the fee was £0.25p. If you do use PayPal and have tracking problems, though, you can submit an enquiry for your transaction. icon_smile.gif
