Betfair to ban South Africans
13 years 4 months ago
From what I have been told from the end of the month Betfair will no longer accept bets from South African residents and South African I.P addresses.

Betfair is not a bookie. Get your facts right.

If they where a bookie there would be no problem...
But some people are claiming that they are..
Seemingly they have written in their terms and conditions that bets taken from over sees customers aretaken by betfair?
Betfair's own terms:
"If you are registered with Betfair from outside the UK you are betting directly against Betfair rather than other Betfair customers"

Actually, Betfair is trying to come here as a bookie.
How would that work? Must be as you have posted above. They have admitted they middle buyers and sellers as a bookmaker anyway. They operate in the milliseconds between when things appear on the screens. LOL, a bit of thievery obviously goes a long way.

Every Owner,Trainer, Bookie and Racecourse manager in the UK want them to pay the going rate into the levvy.
Uk racing should be booming with the crowds etc
Try tell the owners running for a 1st prize at southwell of R15000 that racing is booming

I understand that ,in return for their licence to operate internet gambling,they have to ban SA punters from Betfair Poker and Casino which is INTERACTIVE gambling and illegal in South Africa.
That would also make some sense!

From what I gather you will not even be able to see the Betfair site. Unless you have a Proxy Server Betfair will not be visible.
