Title: Betfair won't let me deposit!!!
Post by: AMRN on February 22, 2010, 18:06:33 PM
I opened my Betfair account years ago, and at the time my monthly deposit limit was set to £50. I just tried to make a £400 deposit and it failed. Tried to change my limit, which is fine, but doesn"t take effect for 7 days. Rang the helpline, and they couldn"t help me - the 7 day limit is mandatory.

Great - so I won"t be playing the satellites and Welsh online and PLO games then!!  Great start to the new season - think I prefer BSQ already!!

Des/Leigh - is there any escalation you can help with to overcome this?

Im really surprised they couldn"t help you deposit and make you wait 7 days to be able to do so.

Hopefully Leigh or Des will have a solution for you.

Every time I try and deposit it says "Navigation to the webpage was cancelled". Tried about 10 times already :-[

Steve,

Can you deposit anything at all ?

Does the deposit rule cover all deposit methods ?

Use a credit card and they deduct 1.5% as an admin fee for themselves! FFS, what"s that about?

I hate Betfair already and I haven"t used it yet.

Can we change to another site?

Cheers Leigh but I can"t use one of my other computers at the moment and have disabled my sophos and spybot which are only two security programmes I run.

Anybody got a phone number to their poker support? Can you phone in a deposit?
Only seem to be able to get the contact page which says they"ll reply to messages within 4hrs?!?!

Did you read the bit Geo posted ?
Isn"t that just sorting your PC.

Sorry if I"ve misread it.

Have deposited the maximum £50 - having to play a $22 tourney tonight to try and spin up enough to play the Welsh NLH and PLO games (of course I may be unavailable anyway if I run well in the GUKPT!).

Anyone know if fuinds can be transferred from person to person through Betfair?
