### 2/5 — Missing market

*2026-06-18, version 2.0.0*

Asian handicap betting market football/soccer is not available on the app. Only on desktop site which isn’t ideal if you’re not at a computer. Big oversight. Please add ASAP

### 4/5 — No runner sort option

*2026-06-10, version 2.0.0*

In the latest update the runners are sorted numerically. However if you resort by odds there is no way to revert back to number order. The previous version had the ability to revert. Please bring this feature back

### 2/5 — Slow withdrawals getting greedier with commission

*2026-03-28, version 1.9.99*

Slow withdrawal time and continues to increase the commission they take from your winnings ! When you win they win by taking 8% of your winning and they’ll probably increase their commission soon too just like all typical large companies do get greedier by day

### 2/5 — Downhill quick

*2026-03-18, version 1.9.99*

An app that used to be a pleasure to use has, with latest updates, become very laggy and frustrating. At least I’ll be betting a lot less.

### 3/5 — Outdated

*2024-11-24, version 1.9.9*

It’s a really outdated app doesn’t accommodate fast withdrawals so if you miss the cut of time on a Friday you wont receive your winnings till at least Monday night needs to come up to date with all the other betting apps to stay relevant if your after a quick withdrawal time do not use

### 1/5 — So slow since latest updates

*2024-10-26, version 1.9.9*

Not sure what you did but the exchange is a pain to use now

### 1/5 — Charges you for not betting

*2024-10-02, version 1.9.7*

If your account is inactive they charge you $10 a month 
Beware. 
Scammers!

### 1/5 — Stay away!

*2024-09-17, version 1.9.6*

Worst app ever, save your time and money. Customer service is rude and ignores you. Don’t offer any bonuses. Stay well away!

### 1/5 — Verification nightmare

*2024-07-27, version 1.9.5*

Into the 3rd day waiting for verification….. next they are gonna ask for DNA. App deleted….. most apps verify instantly….. it’s 2024 bit 1984….. bye

### 4/5 — Pretty satisfied

*2024-02-13, version 1.9.1*

So far I’ve found the Betfair app relatively easy to navigate. It’s pretty busy obviously, and initially was a bit confusing to know what’s what but in time I was able to find my way around! It’s well organised with various categories for sport and racing seperate, which I like as I don’t support animals being used for sport! I also appreciate the black background as it’s easier on my eyes.

### 1/5 — Appalling betting service

*2023-09-13, version 1.8.8*

I have used a number of betting services, and by far they are the worst, and would never recommend using. They permanently close your accounts (management level) and can do so due to refusal of giving personal income information during the pandemic. No other provider asks for banking records and we as customers have the right to privacy.

### 1/5 — Inconsistent Verification Procedures and Withdrawal Delays

*2023-09-04, version 1.8.8*

While I recognize the allure and potential benefits of using Betfair for placing bets, my experience has been less than satisfactory. Their system seems to lack a balanced approach between deposits and withdrawals. If you lose money, there's hardly any verification to ascertain if you genuinely wanted to place that bet. However, if you're fortunate enough to win, brace yourself for a series of seemingly unnecessary delays and additional steps for verification before you can access your winnings. For a platform that deals with real money, I expect a consistent, transparent, and fair approach for all transactions. I'd advise potential users to exercise caution and be aware of these discrepancies before deciding to bet significant amounts.

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t load

*2023-05-31, version 1.8.6*

The app doesn’t load

### 1/5 — Ordinary

*2022-11-13, version 1.7.7*

Took my money straight away, took me 10 days to access it and wouldn’t return it to the same account they took it from, never again.

### 1/5 — Useles

*2026-07-19, version 2.0.1*

One of the useless app. Not friendly at all

### 1/5 — Don't use

*2026-02-14, version 1.9.99*

Used for the first time today. I had set my odds and the horse won. I had won close to $2000. However I haven't recieved the money in the my account and they haven't shown it in the betslip. They have only shown loses so I have no proof. Absolute waste of time and money. Should shutdown the app absolute scammers

### 1/5 — It’s only good for Uk

*2026-01-18, version 1.9.99*

It’s not too good platform trust me you will be disappointed as i was, costumer service also sucks…

### 1/5 — Slow to pay

*2025-10-25, version 1.9.98*

Very slow to pay winnings into bank account. High commissions applied but not shown until after winning therefore true odds not displayed

### 1/5 — Horrible app, avoid.

*2025-10-04, version 1.9.97*

Absolutely trash app, made a account and a deposit. Nothing appears in account within first 24 hours, fast forward 3 days. I’ve sent 3 emails to their poor excuse of “customer service” and even tried to contact their instagram page and still no reply from anyone and my money is gone. Disgusting service.

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2025-07-19, version 1.9.96*

Horrible app I tried to withdraw my money and end up getting nothing ,
Literally scammed

### 1/5 — Commission 5-10% of winnings!

*2025-03-29, version 1.9.91*

Very disappointed that not only do Betfair charge a massive commission, which offsets any benefit that might be gained from average marginally better odds, they are not transparent and forthcoming about charging commission. Instead, they show how much you’ve won and leave you to guess how much they’ve taken out of your remaining balance.

### 1/5 — Fees are too high

*2025-03-04, version 1.9.91*

Betfair are increasing the fees to 6-8% for most markets. Nrl is already 10%. Way too high

Might as well use a bookie instead of these crazy fees

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2025-02-07, version 1.9.91*

Bring back the old app. This one has stunk out the place for 3+ years now.

### 1/5 — Warning!!

*2024-11-07, version 1.9.9*

They promote bet stop, but I’d like to warn anyone that registers with bet stop and then tries to re open your account with bet fair, they will block you forever. Also, they keep all your identity documentation, who knows what they do with them because I’ve had scammers try calling me and also people trying to blackmail me….its a bit of coincidence that this has happened, it’s allegedly happened to other people I know that have gone through the same situation with betfair.

Just be very mindful

### 5/5 — Fantastic exchange

*2025-09-01, version 1.9.96*

I’ve always liked it and I think I always will. It would be awesome to have a debit card attached for fast cash withdrawals or weekend withdrawals processed. Overall no complaints though.

### 5/5 — It’s Great!

*2023-05-20, version 1.8.6*

It’s got modern colors, nice scroll options, works great on VPNs if you are travelling overseas. Keep up!

### 5/5 — Gambler

*2023-04-23, version 1.8.3*

Rings ding ding racing

### 5/5 — Peter

### 5/5 — Good Mate

*2022-12-24, version 1.7.9*

Good Mate

### 5/5 — Last update nothing works…

*2022-09-03, version 1.7.1*

After the last update 3 days ago 
nothing working just a black background either the logo of the betfair…….

### 5/5 — Well done on improvements. Great app for Punters.

*2022-09-03, version 1.7.1*

Betfair continues to tick the boxes. The Exchange isn’t simple and the App makes it easy for punters to place Exchange bets, trade and more. Can’t wait for the app to continue to develop but loving what’s on offer.

### 5/5 — Keeps crashing when there’s poor network

*2022-08-31, version 1.6.2*

App keeps crashing whenever I use the app with poor network connectivity. Should handle this more elegantly.

Besides this. Rest of the app has been fantastic

### 5/5 — Betfair Lover

*2022-04-30, version 1.5.2*

The app needs a good kick in the guts💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
