Betfair.com is the umbrella website for Betfair Poker, Betfair Casino and the Betfair Sports Exchange. Because Betfair.com was created and developed in Britain, each of these sites offers various gaming and betting opportunities to residents of the United Kingdom. If you reside in the United Kingdom, there are many advantages to playing at Betfair.com.

Advantages for Betfair Players in the United Kingdom

One of the most basic advantages to members playing from the United Kingdom is the fact that Betfair.com is owned, operated and regulated mainly in Great Britain. This means that all new additions and features of the site will be available first, in English, to residents of the UK.

Betfair.com's customer support services are also located mainly in Great Britian and most agents are English-speaking only (with the exception of Chinese Helpdesk agents.)

When you place a bet at the Betfair Sports Exchange as a resident of the United Kingdom, your betting contract is considered to be held under British law. This means that you will never have to worry about financial scams or how to collect your winnings as you might with some of the less honest online gambling sites based elsewhere in the world.

As a UK resident, when you do place a bet on Betfair.com, your contract is with other Betfair.com members. For legal reasons, non-UK residents can only have a contract with Betfair.com itself.

Playing with Betfair in the United Kingdom

Because of Betfair's extensive security and privacy measures, residents of the United Kingdom must submit the following documents in order to complete their Identity Verification Process at Betfair.com through their hard copy document check:

1. Proof of Identity: Your driver's license, passport or certificate of citizenship.
2. Verification of Address: A recent utilities bill or bank statement.
3. Payment Verification: Depending on your method of payment, a copy of your credit card or bank account number.

Betfair.com Awards and Social Responsibility in the United Kingdom

Documented evidence of Betfair.com's ingenuity is shown by the fact that Betfair.com won the Queen's Award for Innovation through Great Britain's Trade and Industry sector in 2003 and 2008. The site also won the Top Operator of the Year award by the eGaming Commission in 2007.

Every year, Betfair.com chooses a charity located in the United Kingdom and donates up to 150,000 British pounds to that charity.

Betfair is a large gambling site based in the UK. With its locally based regulation, wide range of payment options and numerous awards, it is clear why Betfair.com is the top choice for online gamblers and poker players in the United Kingdom.
