Why do you need my personal data?

Anyone wishing to use Betfair must first open an account. Transparency is a fundamental pillar of our business, and we hold all relevant details of all our customers. This is beneficial to you too: all your details are stored securely so that you can quickly and safely deposit and withdraw from your Betfair account.

The Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA) that has licensed Betfair requires us to positively identify our customers. In addition, our ability to share information (if required) under the ‘Memorandums of Understanding’ we have in place with the regulator is dependent on our ability to identify our customers. We believe our processes are the best in the industry and are proud of the recognition we have received.
