Account Security
When opening an account, customers will be asked if they would like a password for account security purposes. If the customer declines to activate a password on the account, BetReg cannot be held responsible for any bets placed on the account that the customer later queries as not being placed by them. These bets will remain the responsibility of the customer. For account security purposes customers are advised to activate a password.
If a password is activated, and used subsequently by a third party, the responsibility remains with the customer for all bets on the account. It is the customers responsibility to ensure password details are kept private. If you lose, forget, or are concerned a third party has your password, you should call us to change your password immediately. Any bets placed on your account using your password will be your responsibility.
Player Funds

Withdrawals to debit/credit cards typically take 2-5 working days. For example, if you withdraw on Friday, the earliest you should expect to receive your winnings is Tuesday, and by next Friday at the latest. This is the standard processing time issued by banks, and is out of our control.
When a withdrawal is in excess of £2000 (or currency equivalent), we may ask you to provide us with identification in line with Gambling Commission guidelines.
We are required by our licence to inform customers about what happens to funds which we hold on account for you, and the extent to which funds are protected in the event of insolvency

BetReg reserves the right to carry out age verification checks on account holders who use payment mechanisms that are known to be legitimately available to under-18’s. BetReg may also carry out age verification checks against a random selection of account holders regardless of the method of payment. Such checks will involve passing account holder information to third party agents. Anyone under the age of 18 found to be using our services will have their account closed instantly; winnings forfeited and will be reported to the police. The Licensee will return any money paid in respect of the use of its facilities. The return of any stakes is a Licence Condition imposed by Section 83(1) of the Gambling Act 2005.
Such procedures must include:
- Verifying the age of a customer before the customer is able to:
(i) deposit any funds into their account;
(ii) access any free-to-play versions of gambling games that the licensee may make available; or
(iii) gamble with the licensee using either their own money or any free bet or bonus. - Warning potential customers that underage gambling is an offence;
- Regularly reviewing their age verification systems and implementing all reasonable improvements that may be made as technology advances and as information improves.
