Betfair is one of the biggest sports betting sites in the world, and quite possibly the leader in betting exchanges. As a result, it has made a name for itself among both novice and professional punters. More and more of them want to join this operator to take advantage of its Back and Lay odds, which are reputed to be very attractive. Although Betfair is licensed in the UK, Bulgaria, Malta, Spain, Italy, Denmark and Romania, it is unfortunately not accessible from other countries. 
Unlike the countries where it is licensed and where punters can register directly, it is not possible to connect to Betfair from everywhere, simply because this bookmaker does not have local approval. Moreover, local law prohibits betting exchange offers (also known as odds trading), Betfair's area of expertise. So, in principle, you cannot open an account on this platform. There are, however, some formulas, which I will discuss below.
To get around Betfair's inaccessibility, some punters have the bad idea of using a VPN to register and place bets. This technique is highly inadvisable, because while it's true that you will be able to register, using a VPN makes using the site rather slow. The reason for this is that it will change your IP every time you connect, and this is prohibited by Betfair's rules. As a result, the platform can confiscate your winnings and block your account, as you have breached its rules:
Another difficulty with VPN is that you need a bank account in the country simulated by the VPN, which is difficult, if not impossible.
It should also be noted that Betfair's legal protocol requires them to carry out account verification with all their players, to ensure that they are eligible to make deposits and withdrawals on the site. If you are based in a prohibited country, you run the risk of not meeting the requirements of this check.
As part of the verification process, you will be asked to provide documentary evidence of your identity and address. Address verification is carried out by sending a recent utility bill or a recent copy of a bank statement.
There's good news for those who can't sign up directly to Betfair: go through a betting broker. These intermediaries give you access to Betfair's market and allow you to enjoy its offers with peace of mind. Their service also consists of offering conveniences so that you can withdraw your winnings without problems.

Betfair offers an impressive range of sports betting, trading exchange and online casino services. On the sports betting side, you can bet on all the world's sporting events on which most punters like to place bets. Its sports coverage includes football, cricket, basketball, boxing, American football, MMA, badminton, hockey and motor sports. The selection also includes major UFC events.
Clearly, Betfair offers the best coverage for football, cricket and basketball. The best international leagues and fixtures from Europe, South America, North America and Asia are available for each of these disciplines.
If you're into more exotic sports such as darts, futsal or greyhound racing, you'll probably enjoy what Betfair has to offer: there are plenty of events and betting options on each of these sports.
But apart from the classic sporting events, the operator allows you to make predictions on a variety of events such as television programmes, forthcoming film releases, etc. As an e-gaming fan, I was not unmoved by its e-sport offer, which includes a selection of the best titles (Counter Strike: GO, League of Legends, FIFA and DOTA 2...).
What makes Betfair so special are its odds, which are reputed to be among the most attractive in the world. This is all the more true because Betfair is a Back and Lay betting specialist. There are betting odds on every possible event during a game and players can engage in odds trading with profitable return and wagering possibilities. In practical terms, this betting trading service is about allowing punters to bet against each other rather than against a bookmaker. They can then offer odds or request odds from other players on the platform.
In addition, on traditional sporting events, standard Over/Under, Correct Score, 1 X 2, Even/Odd and Handicap bets are available. When it comes to live betting options, you have even more choice with quick prediction of immediate and upcoming action, to maximise your chances of winning. During in-play betting, you can enjoy live broadcasts of all major events, which not only enhances your betting experience, but also allows you to make informed decisions.
The other advantage of Betfair that you will appreciate is that the win limit is apparently non-existent. So there's no attempt to restrict big winners. Also, with a minimum bet set at €2, Betfair is a perfect bookmaker for novice punters. Another interesting feature is that you can place bets via phone calls.
As there are still questions to be answered, I've put together a short FAQ on betfair.
The Betfair site has a fairly elegant design at first glance. However, it seems to me to be a little too overloaded with the amount of information presented, which is also reflected in the somewhat long page load times if you don't have a broadband internet connection. So at first, you risk being overwhelmed by the sheer number of tabs, buttons and information being fed in all the time. But after a while, you'll soon get the hang of it. Navigation then becomes very simple and you can access what you're looking for in two or three clicks at most.
The colour combinations, characterised by contrasts of black and yellow, are well thought out. The betting exchange and sports betting sections are available in the top menu, along with other offers of interest. Once you have chosen between Back and Lay or traditional sports betting, you can quickly click on the 'sports' button and choose the sport you wish to bet on. Popular disciplines are pinned to the top menu for quick access.
Betfair also offers downloadable apps that can be used on Android and iOS devices. This means you can bet on the move. Even without the app, the mobile version of the site can do the trick. It is particularly well designed, with a dynamic display that is beautifully crafted to fit any size smartphone or tablet.
As well as sports betting, Betfair is also renowned for its live casino, slots and virtual casino offerings. You can enjoy a rewarding live casino experience with games such as Hi-Lo Poker, Hold' em, Blackjack... As for the virtual casino offering, it offers even more choice, including the ever-popular One-Handed Blackjack. Live casino games and tables are somewhat limited, however, for punters who enjoy these gaming options.
ORBIT does not offer this kind of service, so you will have to go through a specialist operator.
With a community of millions of punters worldwide, it can be frustrating not to be able to sign up from your country of residence to Betfair, which is undoubtedly one of the biggest betting sites and the leader in betting trading. If you find yourself in this situation, don't try to use a VPN to access Betfair. This is a fraudulent manoeuvre, strictly forbidden by the platform.
The most reliable, practical and secure option for you is to register with betfair through a sports betting broker. On this site, I offer you the ones I use and I have no problem
You now have everything you need to bet at Betfair from everywhere. ORBIT Echange is THE solution for accessing Betfair's market, odds and liquidity from anywhere.
