Why is my Betfair account suspended?

Your Betfair account has been suspended“, ” Your Betfair account has been closed down” these are common clauses that some Betfair customers whether new or old, have received via email or when they try to login with their username and password to their account, notifying them that they have either done something wrong or something is wrong with their account.

It is not unusual to hear complaints from owners of Betfair accounts having their accounts suspended. While some claim that the reasons for the suspension were not clearly stated, others think that their accounts were unfairly suspended by Betfair. The main question now is; what are the reasons for Betfair suspending user accounts?

  • Verification Issues
  • Account Owner and User are different
  • Self-Exclusion
  • Money Laundering
  • Premium Charge Avoidance
