Part B - Account Terms and Conditions of use
Part G - Standard Promotional Terms
Welcome to Betfair. We offer you a portfolio of gambling products and services.
If you wish to bet, or to play games for real money, you will need to open an account with us. By opening an account with us, you agree to be bound by our Account Terms and Conditions of Use.
Before beginning to bet, you should read through our Betting - General Conditions as well as the "Specific Conditions" which apply to you and to each of your betting transactions as set out below.
By entering into any betting transactions on our site, you agree to be bound by both the Betting - General Conditions and the specific conditions applicable to that particular betting transaction:
Before playing Betfair Poker, Betfair Casino or other games with us, you should read through our Betfair Gaming - Conditions of Use. By playing any of these games, you will be deemed to have registered with the relevant Betfair entity that supplies the games to you (as set out in the Betfair Gaming - Conditions of Use).
By playing the games or any of them, you agree to be bound by our Conditions of use.
Welcome to Betfair. Before you can use our services, you need to open an account and deposit funds.
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before opening an account with us.
Please also read our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Dispute Resolution Policy, Trust Deed and the provisions regarding the Betfair Charges which are incorporated by reference into these Terms and Conditions. If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions and any of the documents listed above, these Terms and Conditions will prevail.
By clicking the "I Confirm" button on the account opening screen, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
You will be opening an account with Betfair International Plc, and references in these Terms and Conditions to “Betfair”, “we”, “us” or “our” will be to Betfair International Plc. Betfair International Plc is licensed and regulated by the Swedish Gambling Authority.
Please refer to our Regulatory Information page for further details of our operating companies and the licences held by them.
In consideration of our accepting your application to open an account, you represent to us (and acknowledge that we rely on these representations) as follows:
It is your responsibility to keep your contact details up-to-date on your account. Failure to do so may result in you failing to receive important account related notifications and information from Betfair, including changes we make to Betfair’s terms and conditions.
You are solely responsible for the security and confidentiality of your account. In particular, you agree to keep your username, password and/or TAN strictly confidential and you are responsible for any misuse of your password and/or TAN. Please note that when you create an account you have the option to use your email address or a username to log in to/identify your account. This can reduce the security levels of your account as your email address may be more accessible and this makes it easier for third parties to gain access to your account.
Provided that we have been correctly supplied with the account information requested, we are entitled to assume that offers and payments are made by you. We reserve the right to check that you as account holder are also the holder of the payment method which is used to make payments to the account. You should change your password on a regular basis and never disclose it to any third party. You undertake to protect your username and password in the same way that you would in respect of your bank cards and any failure to do so shall be at your sole risk and expense. If another person accesses your account, you are solely responsible for all their actions whether or not their access was authorised by you and you hereby indemnify us and hold us harmless against all costs, claims, expenses and damages howsoever arising in connection with the use of or access to your account by any third party.
You will not attempt to sell or otherwise transfer the benefit of your account to any third party and nor will you acquire or attempt to acquire an account which has been opened in the name of a third party.
For information on inactive accounts, including any applicable administrative fees and the procedure by which a player will be informed that such a fee will be charged , please see paragraph 7 of the Betfair Charges – “Inactive Account Fees”.
From 31 January 2013, customers with an existing Betfair account are not permitted to open a new account with Betfair.
Any customer that already has more than one Betfair account on 31 January 2013 is required to nominate a single Betfair account to use across Betfair’s products by contacting the Betfair Helpdesk. Customers that continue to operate multiple Betfair accounts after 31 January 2013 will have their accounts ‘linked’ and managed accordingly. This may affect the extent to which bets can be placed on the Betfair Sportsbook by such customers. Players resident in Sweden are permitted to have only one account with Betfair.
Should Betfair believe, using its absolute and sole discretion, that you have:
in an attempt to exceed the maximum pay-out for an individual account holder across linked accounts, it reserves the right to withhold any winnings arising from such behaviour.
To bet or to play games for money on Betfair, you need to deposit funds. Except as set out below, all funds in customer accounts are held by The Sporting Exchange (Clients) Limited, a group company established solely for the purpose of holding customer funds (the “Trustee”), under the terms of the Trust Deed (the “Trust Fund”). Holding your money in the Trust Fund has the following benefits to you:
Your funds will not be held by the Trustee if: (i) there is a requirement for such funds to be held under the terms of any licence, in a separate non set-off bank account in the name of the licence holder; or (ii) where such funds are deposited via a third party payment provider (hereafter referred to as a “Payment Provider”). Funds deposited via a Payment Provider may take a few days before they are held by the Trustee under the terms of Trust Deed. During this period your funds will be held in the account of the relevant Payment Provider and will not be protected under the terms of the Trust Deed. Depositing by any method other than the following will be classed as a deposit via a third party Payment Provider: (a) bank transfer, (b) cheque, (c) credit card and (d) debit card.
The funds in your account are held on your behalf by way of security to meet any payment obligations you may incur as a result of betting or playing games on our site or using any of the products or services supplied by Betfair. Details of the manner in which the Trust is operated are set out in the Trust Deed.
You undertake that:
You accept that all transactions may be checked to prevent money laundering and that any transactions made by you which Betfair deems suspicious, may be reported to the appropriate authorities.
You accept that you will not be entitled to receive any interest in respect of your deposits (for more information see clause 5 of our Trust Deed), and you acknowledge that you shall not treat Betfair as a financial institution.
We have a number of controls and checks that take place before any withdrawal request is processed by Betfair including identity verification, on cumulative deposits of €2,000, which value can be calculated either on a daily basis taking into account all deposits effected by a customer since the establishment of the business relationship; or on the basis of a rolling period of one hundred and eighty (180) days. These checks are part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the security of our customers’ funds. All withdrawals requests are therefore only processed after the expiry of a set period of time from the withdrawal request being made.
The methods available for deposit of funds can be found once you are logged into your Betfair account, and then by clicking on the “Deposit” button found at the top right-hand side of our home page.
The methods available for withdrawal of funds can be found once you are logged into your Betfair account by clicking on the “My Account” icon and then (a) FOR MOBILE, by selecting the “Withdraw” button and selecting the payment method you would like to withdraw the funds to, and (b) FOR DESKTOP, by selecting the “My Betfair Account” from the drop-down menu, where you will see the “Withdraw funds” option available.
Customers may withdraw any amount from their “Main Wallet”. Amounts showing in either the “Sportsbook Bonus”, “Casino Bonus, “Arcade Bonus” or “Exchange Game Bonus” may be subject to applicable wagering requirements before being available to withdraw.
Withdrawals will be remitted only to the account from where the funds paid into the customer’s account originated. For more information click here.
The average time required for deposit/withdrawals via each of the methods available can be found here.
The information that you send to us will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
You authorise us, at any time, to use any means that we consider necessary to verify your identity and creditworthiness with any third party providers of information.
You agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless in respect of the release of any personal (or other) data pursuant to our Privacy Policy.
You agree that, from time to time, we may contact you to ask if you would like to take part in promotional activity. We would only do this if you won a large amount of money on one of our products, or if you placed an unusual bet which was successful. If you agree to take part in such promotional activity, we may use your name and/or your image as reasonably required.
You acknowledge that Betfair and its affiliates will hold information with respect to your identity, including but not limited to your name, address and payment details. You agree that we rely on this information in entering into our agreement with you and you agree to hold us harmless against any falsehood or inaccuracy contained in the information you provide us.
You will inform us as soon as you become aware of any errors with respect to your account and you will forfeit any amounts shown to be in your account that result from human error or technical fault.
Either we or you may suspend or terminate your account at any time, either with or without cause, upon notice (we will use our reasonable endeavours to give such notice to you in writing of the grounds for the decision to suspend or terminate your account either before or after suspending or terminating your account). Please contact the Betfair Helpdesk if you would like to close your account.
We may take steps to block you from betting on or using our site (or any part of it) if you are located in certain jurisdictions, for example the United States of America.
Following termination or suspension of your account, the Trustee will, in the normal course of events, return any funds in your account to you in accordance with the Trust Deed. However, funds will be returned to you no later than five working days after the account has been closed. Please contact the Betfair Helpdesk to recover any funds held in suspended or closed accounts.
However, we reserve the right to notify the Trustee to withhold the funds in your account from you pending the determination of any investigation (including any relevant external investigation) where:
Following the determination of any such investigation we reserve the right to seize some or all of the funds in your account (by notifying the Trustee that the funds in your account should be released to us) if we are satisfied that you have acted in breach of these Terms and Conditions or any other agreement relevant to your activities on our site. We will deal with any funds obtained by us in this manner at our sole and absolute discretion and/or in accordance with any advice, request or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority.
In addition, if formally requested by the police, gambling regulators or taxation or other authorities or in the event that you fail to provide us with sufficient information to identify yourself in accordance with our own internal procedures or those imposed on us by regulatory authorities (wherever based) we may suspend your account and all functionality relating to the use of your account (e.g. bet management and withdrawal of funds) and notify the Trustee to withhold from you any funds in your account pending determination of any criminal or other legal proceedings or investigation to which such a request may relate or until you provide the necessary 'know your client' or 'age verification' information as appropriate.
For the avoidance of doubt at no point during any such period will interest accrue to you on any funds in your account.
For temporary accounts which are terminated because, when opening the account, you provided incorrect information about yourself or upon our request you do not provide documentation supporting the information provided at registration, we will only reimburse the remainder of the funds paid. The same applies if you have been excluded from gambling as a result of misbehaviour.
Betfair provides a self-exclusion facility to help you if you consider that you need to control your gambling. If you request a self-exclusion, we will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, apply best practices to prevent you from using your account indefinitely. To this end, we may retain such personal data as is necessary (and for as long as is necessary which may be indefinitely) to implement the facility as effectively as possible (including for example your name, address and credit/debit card details).
For Swedish players, the following applies. You have the possibility to exclude yourself from gambling for a certain period of time or until further notice. An exclusion until further notice may not be removed until after twelve months. You also have the possibility to exclude yourself immediately from gambling on our accounts for 24 hours. You can also exclude yourself from gambling through an application to the Gambling Inspection. More information about this is available at spelpaus.se.
Our self-exclusion facility involves a joint commitment between Betfair and you. During a period of self-exclusion, we will take reasonable steps to prevent you re-opening your Account or opening a new Account but you must not attempt to re-open your Account or to try and open new Accounts.
You agree that you will not access any other Betfair account to use any of our services or products from which you have excluded, during the period of any such self-exclusion. You agree that: (i) if you hold accounts with both Betfair and Paddy Power and have self-excluded from an account on either site, you will not access any account which you hold on the other site (and we reserve the right to prevent you from attempting to access such other site) and (ii) if you hold an account with either Betfair or Paddy Power and have self-excluded from either site, you will not attempt to register an account with the other site during your period of self-exclusion (and we reserve the right to prevent you from registering an account with such other site).
We will not market directly to you if you have excluded yourself from gambling. Self-excluding from Betfair will not affect your marketing preferences with third parties, including with advertising websites or other third party affiliates. We strongly recommend that you also contact such third parties and opt out from receiving any gambling related communications from them.
To activate our self-exclusion facility, please contact our customer services.
If you request to self-exclude by using spelpaus.se , based on the information that you have provided to them , we will take reasonable steps to prevent you from transacting on your Betfair account, as soon as is reasonably practicable, following your self-exclusion being registered with spelpaud.se. However, there may be circumstances where we are unable to do so – these circumstances may include, but are not limited to; (1) where we are unable to match your Betfair account with the details that you provided to spelpaus.se; and (2) where there is a technical failure in the operation of spelpaus.se and we are unable to access the most up to date self-exclusion information. For more information please visit spelpaus.se.
If you apply any player protection tools (e.g. Deposit Limit, Product Exclusion, Reality Check, Loss Limit) to your Betfair account, we will not take steps to apply the same player protection tool(s) to your accounts with Paddy Power, Sky Betting and Gaming, Full Tilt Poker or PokerStars, nor will we apply a Full Exclusion (as defined above) and we recommend that you separately seek to apply those player protection tools (or their equivalent) to any other online account which you hold (including your Paddy Power, Sky Betting and Gaming, Full Tilt Poker or PokerStars account). For the avoidance of doubt, you must apply a self-exclusion to your entire Betfair account to initiate a Full Exclusion. You will inform us as soon as you become aware of any errors in respect of your self-exclusion or any player protection mechanisms we make available to you. If you do not inform us when you become aware of such errors, then we shall not be liable for any losses which you may suffer.
We shall not be liable for any losses you or any third party may suffer if you circumvent our self-exclusion procedures and continue to use our products or services or if you continue to gamble with any third party.
On 5 May 2020 (the “Merger Date”), Betfair’s parent company merged with The Stars Group which operates as Sky Betting and Gaming (which includes Sky Bet, Sky Vegas, Sky Casino, Sky Poker, Sky Lotto and Sky Bingo), Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars (together the “TSG Brands”).
With effect from the Merger Date, if you apply a self-exclusion to your entire Betfair account, we will not automatically take steps to apply that self-exclusion to any accounts held by you with the TSG Brands. In these circumstances, we recommend that you separately seek a self-exclusion to your account(s) held with the TSG Brands (and any other online account which you hold). To request a self-exclusion to your account(s) held with the TSG Brands, please see the following information:
You may not assign these Terms and Conditions to any third party. Betfair may assign, transfer or novate any or all of its rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions to any third party at any time without notice to you.
In the event that any provision of these Terms and Conditions is deemed by any competent authority to be unenforceable or invalid, the relevant provision shall be modified to allow it to be enforced in line with the intention of the original text to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall not be affected.
Any provision of these Terms and Conditions that is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will be ineffective in that particular jurisdiction, without affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of that provision in other jurisdictions.
In the event of a dispute arising between us and you, we each agree to follow the procedure set out in our Dispute Resolution policy as amended from time to time.
We reserve the right to make immaterial changes to these Terms and Conditions at any time. In relation to material changes, we will give you prior notice of the changes in writing and/or to obtain your prior consent before making such changes and your continued use of the site will be deemed to be your acceptance of any material changes.
Communications and notices to be given by you to us under these Terms and Conditions should be provided to us as set out in the Contact us section.
These Terms and Conditions will be governed by the laws of Sweden; and the Courts of Sweden have non-exclusive jurisdiction in relation to all disputes under these Terms and Conditions.
Betfair provides a platform upon which you can enter into various betting transactions in relation to the markets available on our site ("Markets").
Where customers bet with each other on the Exchange, Betfair solely acts as a facilitator and does not act as a counterparty. Betfair also offers Tote bets, as well as singles (which we call ‘Fixed Odds’) and ‘Multiples’ bets at odds fixed by us.
You can enter into betting transactions either:
Please note that not all Betfair betting products are available through each of the betting channels set out above.
In these General Conditions when we refer to "the Services" we mean all the services listed above (where applicable).
In these General Conditions references to "Betfair", "we", "us" and/or "our" are to whichever Betfair group company is providing the Services to you as set out in the Specific Conditions applicable to your betting transaction.
Please read these General Conditions, and the Specific Conditions applicable to you and your betting transaction carefully before entering into any betting transactions..
Please also read our Exchange Rules and Regulations, Sportsbook Rules and Regulations, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Dispute Resolution Policy, Trust Deed and the provisions regarding the Betfair Charges. All of these documents are incorporated by reference and form part of these General Conditions.
Please note that there are separate Rules and Regulations for each of our Exchange and Sportsbook products. The rules governing how markets are offered, managed and/or settled are not the same for every market on each product. In certain circumstances, a bet that is settled as a winner on one product may be settled as a loser on the other product (and vice versa). Additionally, different settlement rules may apply so that, for example, bets that are a winner on one product may be settled as a dead heat or be voided on the other product. Customers must ensure that they familiarise themselves with the relevant rules that apply to the bets that they place on Betfair’s products.
If there is any inconsistency between the documents listed above, this document and the relevant Specific Conditions, the Specific Conditions will prevail over this document which will prevail over the documents listed above.
By entering into any betting transactions, you agree to be bound by these General Conditions and the Specific Conditions relevant to your betting transaction (together "the Agreement").
Betfair grants you a limited licence to access our site provided that you comply with this Agreement.
The availability of our site does not constitute an offer or invitation by Betfair to use the site in any jurisdiction in which such use is illegal.
Your use of our site or any data feeds we may provide to you confers no rights whatsoever to the content and related intellectual property rights contained on our site or on any such data feeds. You agree not to monitor, use or copy our web pages or any of our web content, including without limitation any price data. You will not attempt to hack, make unauthorised alterations or introduce any kind of malicious code to the site by any means. You will not (a) reverse engineer or decompile (whether in whole or in part) any software available through the site; or (b) make copies, modify, reproduce, transmit, alter or distribute all or any part of the site or any material or information contained on it. Any unauthorised use or reproduction may be prosecuted.
You understand that you may lose money on bets placed and accept that you are fully responsible for any such loss. You accept that under no circumstances will any amounts lost by you under any bet be recoverable from us.
It is your responsibility to verify that you are permitted to bet with us according to the jurisdiction of your domicile or habitual residence and/or in which you are located and you agree that you will not bet with us while you are located in a jurisdiction which prohibits you from betting with us. In particular, you will not bet or attempt to bet with us if you are located in the United States of America or in any other country with a comparable legal situation. These countries will be determined by Betfair from time to time.
You undertake to use our services for legitimate betting purposes only. In particular you undertake not to:
You will not attempt to use the Exchange to deliberately transfer money from one Betfair account to another by attempting to match bets on a Market with another account through collusion.
You will inform us as soon as you become aware of any errors in calculations with respect to any betting transaction. We reserve the right to declare null and void any bets which are the subject of such an error.
You will not disguise or interfere in any way with the IP address of the computer you are using to access the site or otherwise take steps to prevent us from correctly identifying the actual IP address of the computer you are using whilst accessing the site.
You agree it is your responsibility to account for any tax or duty imposed on you as a result of any of your betting transactions.
You will not make offensive comments, use offensive or pornographic material or make potentially defamatory or inflammatory remarks in connection with the forums or any other part of our site including within your own username or other information contributed to our site.
Any information you send to us will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
You authorise us, at any time, to use any means that we consider necessary to verify your identity and creditworthiness with any third party providers of information.
We reserve the right to record ALL telephone calls to and from Betfair and to monitor all information relating to betting activities for which purposes you consent in accordance with the requirements of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 and such other legislation as may be applicable.
You agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless in respect of the release of any personal (or other) data pursuant to this Agreement.
You are responsible for understanding the contents of our site and the operation of the Services and we reserve the right to change the format of the Services in order to enhance such Services.
We may determine when the Markets are open for betting and may close the Markets at any time in our absolute discretion. Though we will at all times use reasonable endeavours to settle Markets as quickly as possible, we give no assurances as to the timeframe in which Markets will be settled.
You are entirely responsible for the information that you provide to us concerning the offer that you wish to place. We will not enquire into the reasonableness of any offer that you may make. We will not be liable for incorrect entries made by you, including data input errors with respect to the odds, price or stake on offer, or incorrect bet requests communicated by you to a Betfair Telephone Operator. If a Betfair Telephone Operator repeats back your bet request incorrectly, it is your responsibility to correct the bet request and inform the Betfair Telephone Operator of the error. Once you have confirmed the bet request to the Betfair Telephone Operator (whether or not that was the original bet that you requested) and your bet is matched, you will be liable for that bet if it loses.
Betfair may, in its sole and absolute discretion, decide to suspend betting on a Market at any time (even if such suspension is earlier than anticipated by our Exchange Rules and Regulations and/or Sportsbook Rules and Regulations). In the interests of maintaining integrity and fairness in the Markets, Betfair may also void certain bets in a market or void a whole Market in its entirety.
You should be aware that some customers make use of programs designed to automatically place bets within certain parameters set by them (e.g. to back or lay at a certain price) ("bots"). These bots may be active in any or all Markets at any time and you should not assume that you can place bets on quiet Markets that will not be automatically matched simply because the Market otherwise appears quiet. Additionally bot users should be aware that bots might be prone to exploitation by other customers.
We may restrict your access to Betfair, suspend or terminate your account, withdraw your offers for bets, void any bets outstanding to your account, cancel any unmatched bets or cancel and void any outstanding or matched bets in our absolute discretion without cause at any time including if:
In relation to any cancelled or void bets, we reserve the right to notify the Trustee that any money in your account relating to these bets be paid to us in accordance with the Trust Deed or, if there are insufficient funds in your account, demand that you pay us the relevant outstanding amount relating to these bets.
It is an offence for anyone under the age of 18 to open an account or to gamble on Betfair. If we identify that you are under 18 or were under 18 when you entered into any betting transactions on our site ("under age"):
You may cancel unmatched bets at any time either by:
Your cancellation of an unmatched bet becomes effective once we send you confirmation of the cancellation. In the event that your cancellation request is not received and processed in good time, you acknowledge that your offer may remain outstanding and available for acceptance.
You may not be able to cancel your offer if your bet has been partially or wholly accepted during the interval between your submitting your cancellation request and our confirming your cancellation. In this case, your original offer, or part thereof, will be validly accepted and the bet will be concluded.
When you amend an unmatched bet you are effectively cancelling that bet and submitting a new bet at the amended stake or odds.
We will cancel any offers for bets that remain outstanding at the time that we close a Market.
Depending on the product or type of market you are betting on and depending on the currency that you are betting in, there are minimum bet sizes that apply. These minimum bet sizes are subject to change and may differ depending on whether you are on our site or using the Telephone Betting Service. You are not permitted to place bets or try to place bets that are below the minimum bet size threshold and doing so may result in your account being permanently closed.
Your betting limit is represented by the lesser of: (i) your 'Available to Bet' balance shown in your account and (ii) your ‘Exposure Limit’ (which is available in the "Account Summary" tab in "My Account"). However in the event that we process an offer for a bet or the acceptance of a bet in an amount outside the applicable thresholds, such bet will nevertheless stand.
Subject to these General Conditions and any applicable Specific Conditions we will settle Markets in accordance with our Exchange Rules and Regulations, Sportsbook Rules and Regulations. We reserve the right to reverse or amend settlement in the event of a Market being settled incorrectly. This may lead to amendments being made to your account to reflect changes in Market settlement and if there are insufficient funds in your account we may demand that you put funds into your account to address the outstanding balance.
Any amount of winnings or losses relating to your bets on a Market will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places. If the amount ends in 0.5 it will be rounded up.
You are not permitted to place bets or try to place bets which deliberately take advantage of Betfair rounding off to the nearest penny or cent. Any bets which seek to do so will be automatically cancelled.
We charge a commission calculated by reference to your net winnings on a Market. Your stakes for bets placed on the Exchange are therefore not relevant for the calculation of the commission you pay. In particular, these stakes do not represent remuneration for the Services in connection with the Exchange.
In certain specified circumstances, you may also incur certain other charges. Please refer to Betfair Charges in the About Us section which sets out in detail how all commission and charges are calculated.
We reserve the right to amend our policy as set out in Betfair Charges as amended from time to time.
We will calculate the amounts that you owe us and notify the Trustee accordingly. The Trustee will deduct such amounts from your account and will pay such amounts to us in accordance with the Trust Deed.
Any amounts owed to us will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places. If the amount ends in 0.5 it will be rounded up.
Without prejudice to our obligations contained within the various laws and regulations of the jurisdictions where we are licensed, we are not liable for any loss or damage that you may suffer because of any: act of God; power cut; trade or labour dispute; act, failure or omission of any government or authority; obstruction or failure of telecommunication services; or any other delay or failure caused by a third party or otherwise outside of our control. In such an event, we reserve the right to cancel or suspend our services without incurring any liability.
We are not liable for the failure of any equipment or software howsoever caused, wherever located or administered, or whether under our direct control or not, that may prevent the operation of the Services, impede the placing of offers for bets or the matching of bets, or prevent you from being able to contact us.
Please be aware that if you place a bet with the intention of subsequently placing a separate bet to reduce the liability incurred by the initial bet (including by using Betfair’s ‘Cash Out’ functionality), there can never be a guarantee that the Services will be available at the point you wish to place the subsequent bet (this is the case regardless of whether or not the unavailability of the Services is due to a matter beyond our reasonable control).
We will not be liable for any failure to perform by a third party to our Agreement.
You agree to indemnify and hold us and our associated companies, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from any liabilities, claims, losses or demands made by any third party arising out of your breach of this Agreement (including documents incorporated by reference) or out of your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
You acknowledge that Betfair and its affiliates will hold information with respect to your identity, including but not limited to your name, address and payment details. You agree that we rely on this information in entering into this Agreement and you agree to hold us harmless against any falsehood or inaccuracy contained in the information you provide us.
We exclude all representations and warranties as to the satisfactory quality and/or fitness for its intended purpose and/or accuracy and completeness of the Services.
We will not be liable to you for any loss that you may incur as a result of misuse of your password, or in the case of the Telephone Service, of your telephone access number, and we accept no liability resulting from its unauthorised use, whether fraudulent or otherwise.
In no event will we, or any of our suppliers, accept any liability however arising for any losses you may incur as a result of using the Services. Under no circumstances will our liability under this Agreement or for breach of contract, tort, equity or otherwise exceed your exposure limit as specified in your account. Under no circumstances will we be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of profits (direct or indirect) or the benefit of any bet arising from breach of contract, negligence, equitable duty (including for the avoidance of doubt in relation to any bet(s) or Market(s) voided by us) or other liability even if we had been advised of or known (or should have known) of the possibility of such damages or loss.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes our liability with respect to death and personal injury resulting from our negligence, or that of our employees, agents or subcontractors.
We may at any time, without notice to you, notify the Trustee to set off any liability owed to us or to our customers by you, including (without limitation) in relation to any Betfair account in your name or which we believe to be under your control:

This Agreement is governed by the laws of and subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the country set out in the "Governing Law and Jurisdiction" clause of the relevant Specific Conditions applicable to your particular betting transaction.
Betfair International Plc ("Betfair") provides an exchange upon which our Swedish customers can bet with each other on the markets available on our site ("Markets").
Please read these Specific Conditions and the General Conditions carefully, before making any offers for bets or accepting any bets on the Exchange.
If your betting transaction is covered by these Specific Conditions, references to "Betfair", "we", "us" and/or "our" in these Specific Conditions and in the General Conditions are to Betfair International Plc.
By entering into any betting transactions on the Exchange, you agree to be bound by these Specific Conditions as well as the General Conditions (together "the Agreement").
You will at all times act in good faith in relation to the counterparties to your bets struck through the Exchange and such counterparties will be able to enforce this duty directly against you. In particular you will not place bets on the Exchange in breach of any sporting rules, regulations or code of conduct which apply to you.
We may, at our sole and absolute discretion, provide you with details of any counterparty to your bets, only if we are satisfied that such counterparties have acted in breach of their duty of good faith. For this purpose, you explicitly consent to the release of your personal data in accordance with the UK Data Protection Act 1998, the Malta Data Protection Act 2001, the Gibraltar Data Protection Act 2004, the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and any other applicable laws.
We reserve the right to refuse to post your offer on our Exchange without giving prior notice.
We may restrict you from using programs designed to automatically place bets within certain parameters (e.g. to back or lay at a certain price) ("bots") either generally or in relation to any specific bot if we believe that you have used a bot:
You may not nominate individuals to be counterparties to any of your offers for bets.
We do not guarantee that every offer displayed as outstanding on our site (or communicated by a Betfair Telephone Operator as being outstanding) will be available for your acceptance. All or part of the offer of a bet displayed on our site or communicated by a Betfair Telephone Operator as available on the Exchange at specific odds or price may be successfully cancelled by one or more counterparties before your acceptance is processed by the Exchange (this risk is particularly relevant where you are using the Telephone Betting Service because your instruction will have to be read back to you before being sent to the Exchange, inevitably causing a further slight delay). In this case, the offer for a bet will be withdrawn before your acceptance of that offer is acknowledged. Your failed attempt to accept the bet formerly on offer will however be posted as an offer to other customers.
Betfair or its group companies may occasionally place bets on the Exchange. Such bets represent a tiny fraction of the overall volume of betting activity on the Exchange. We will typically place such bets in one of the following two circumstances:
If Betfair or its group companies place bets on the Exchange:
Employees of Betfair and its group companies are permitted to place bets on the Exchange. Such bets are placed in accordance with Betfair’s company policies. Employees have no advantage over other customers when placing bets and they place the bets in the same way that a normal customer would place them.
In addition to only matching back bets against lay bets on the same selection, many markets on Betfair benefit from a process called ‘cross-selection matching’ and ‘cross-market matching’ to match bets (referred to collectively as ‘cross-matching’):
With the exception of bets placed at the ‘Betfair Starting Price’, bets on the Exchange can only be matched at prices that are a valid increment on Betfair’s odds ladder. This is the case whether it is simply a back bet matched against a lay bet or a bet that is matched by cross-matching. Where the bet is matched using cross-matching, the process will match the customer’s bet at the best price that is a valid increment on Betfair’s odds ladder.
In certain circumstances, because the cross-matching process can only match at prices that are a valid increment on Betfair’s odds ladder, this will result in Betfair generating a small amount of additional revenue from the cross-matched bet.
Bets will only be matched using the cross-matching process if that would result in a better price for the customer than matching their bet against an opposing bet on the same selection.
Regardless of whether or not a bet is matched by cross-matching, where more than one unmatched bet at the same price could be used to match an incoming customer bet request, bets are always matched in the order in which they were received (i.e. first come, first served).

Whilst it is intended that the Exchange will operate under Betfair’s Swedish licence for customers registered in Sweden, we reserve the right at any time, including, without limitation, for disaster recovery purposes:
Betfair International Plc enables you to make us offers for multiple bets, which we may or may not accept, on our site ("the Website Service").
Please read these Specific Conditions, and the General Conditions, carefully, before making any offers for multiple bets on our site.
By entering into any betting transactions on our site, you agree to be bound by these Specific Conditions as well as the General Conditions (together "the Agreement").
When you make a bet, you are betting with Betfair and not with other customers who use our site.
An offer which you make for a bet is open for acceptance by Betfair as a counterparty in whole or in part in accordance with these terms and conditions.
Once Betfair has accepted your offer, you will not be allowed to change the terms of that bet or cancel or withdraw from that bet. Acceptance of an offer by Betfair concludes the bet.

We are not liable for the settlement of any offers for bets if for any reason, we fail to process any instruction in good time.
Betfair International Plc is a public limited liability company registered in Malta under company number C52779. Our registered offices are at Triq il-Kappillan Mifsud, St Venera, Malta, SVR 1851. Betfair International Plc is licensed and regulated in Sweden by the Gambling Authority The Gambling Authority is the regulating authority for all forms of gambling in Sweden.Whilst it is intended that the Website Service will operate under our existing licence, we reserve the right to switch the operation of the Website Service to another jurisdiction at any time, including without limitation for disaster recovery purposes.

Betfair International Plc enables you to place Tote bets on our site (the "Website Service").
Please read these Specific Conditions, and the General Conditions, carefully, before making any Tote bets on our site.
By entering into any betting transactions on our site, you agree to be bound by these Specific Conditions as well as the General Conditions (together "the Agreement").
When you make a Tote bet, you are betting with Betfair as counterparty to your bet.
An offer which you make for a bet is open for acceptance by Betfair as a counterparty in whole or in part in accordance with this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary in this Agreement, we may elect, in certain very limited circumstances, to nominate one or more of our affiliate or joint venture companies to accept your offers for bets.
Once you submit your Tote bet request to Betfair, we will deduct the appropriate stake from your Betfair account and we will then attempt to strike a corresponding bet into the relevant Tote pool (the "Corresponding Bet"). While we attempt to strike the Corresponding Bet, your bet request will be ‘Pending’ and you will not be allowed to change the terms of that bet or cancel or withdraw from that bet. However, please note, the deduction of the stake from your Betfair account does not signify the acceptance of your Tote bet.
The Corresponding Bet will usually be successfully placed within a couple of seconds . Once the Corresponding Bet has been placed, the Tote Betslip on your screen will show the status of the bet as ‘Bet placed’. It is only when the status of the bet is confirmed as ‘Bet placed’ that your bet is confirmed and accepted by Betfair.
In the unlikely event that Betfair is unable to successfully place the Corresponding Bet into the relevant Tote pool for any reason whatsoever (including the failure of Betfair’s systems), your Tote bet request will fail, your bet will not be accepted by Betfair and your Tote bet will not be placed. In other words, the acceptance of your Tote bet is entirely conditional on Betfair successfully placing the Corresponding Bet into the relevant Tote pool. Betfair will have no liability to you (including for any money you would have won) if it is not able to or if it fails to for any reason place the Corresponding Bet or it otherwise fails to process your bet request on time.
Please see paragraph 3 below for how to check the status of your Tote bet. Please note, unless the Tote Betslip updates after you have placed your Tote bet to show ‘Bet Placed’, you should ensure that you check the status of your bet within "My Account" to confirm whether or not your bet has been successfully placed.
To check whether your bet has been successfully placed, we advise you to go to the "Current Bets" tab within "My Account ", click on the "Tote Bets" button and check the "Status" column to ensure that it shows ‘Bet placed’ next to the relevant Tote bets. If the "Status" column shows ‘Bet not placed’,this means we have not been able to place the Corresponding Bet into the relevant Tote pool and your Tote bet has not been accepted by Betfair. If the "Status" column shows "Bet pending", this means that we are still trying to place the Corresponding Bet into the relevant Tote pool and you should keep checking back to see whether or not your bet is placed.
Whilst it is intended that the Website Service will operate under our existing licence, we reserve the right to switch the operation of the Website Service to another jurisdiction at any time, including without limitation for disaster recovery purposes. In this case another company in an alternative jurisdiction will act as agent for, and provide services to us, to ensure that the Website Service will be available to you, subject to these Specific Conditions and the General Conditions.

This provision applies specifically to certain games which are tested by Betfair via the use of Random Number Generators ("RNGs").
The Return To Player ("RTP") percentage of a fixed odds game represents the theoretical payback of game over time expressed as a percentage of total amount staked. For certain games offered by Betfair, this theoretical payback percentage is verified by running a large number of transactions – typically in the range of 10 million - through the game to ensure that the expected payback is within an expected range of the theoretical RTP. For those games, the result is generated by an RNG, which guarantees that each game outcome is generated independently and entirely randomly.
Both the testing of the RTP and the RNG are completed by an independent, accredited testing house who perform certification testing on behalf of the appropriate licensing body for each game.
Details of the RTP percentages which are relevant to each of Betfair’s applicable games are included on each game’s information page.
For the avoidance of doubt, Betfair does not guarantee that any of the games it offers will pay out according to its RTP percentage in a single hand, spin or play (or, indeed, to an individual customer).
We charge a fee on both real money cash tables and real money tournament registrations (the "Rake"). The Rake is deducted from every cash game pot at a rate of 5%, up to a predetermined maximum amount which varies according to how many players are in the hand. Please go to https://en-betfair.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/375/c/484/= for full details as to how the Rake is calculated. We reserve the right to amend how and when the Rake is calculated.
