Betting online

You can normally manage your account and bet in any one of a number of listed currencies – primarily £Pounds sterling, Euros and $US dollars. All deposits, wagers and withdrawals are then conducted in your selected currency.

Minimum and maximum stakes vary from bookmaker to bookmaker, sport to sport and event to event, but will be outlined on each individual website.

Deposits and withdrawals from your account can normally made by a wide variety of methods including debit and credit cards, Western Union, NETeller, FirePay, Fast Bank Transfer, Bank Wire and Cashier's Cheque, Bankers Draft, IMO or Personal Cheque via Fed Ex or Regular Mail. For full details on depositing/withdrawing funds see each individual site.

There are a number of other general rules to which most online bookmakers will insist you adhere:

• Customers must be 18 years of age to register.
• Each user must ensure that they comply with their own local, national or state laws regarding betting before opening an account.
• When opening an account, it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that personal details are supplied correctly and that these are kept up to date.
• All bets are not subject to any tax. No charges will be made to credit card transactions.
• Bookmakers usually reserve the right to refuse the whole, or any part of any wager for any reason or to close any account without any obligation of justifying the reason to do so.
• Bets may be placed up to the actual start time of the particular events. With the exception of "betting in running" all bets taken after the "off" will be deemed void, win or lose.
• Once a transaction has been confirmed changes will not normally be permitted.
• Bookmakers do not accept any responsibility for typing, human or palpable errors, which lead to obvious price errors. In such cases bets will be accepted at the correct final price before the commencement of the event in question.
• All winnings will be credited to the customer's account following confirmation of the result.
• Identification documents may be required to verify payouts over a certain value.
