Yes You can have multiple accounts with them no problem, but they will obviously link them if you are P.C payer.

I think you have to use different cards to deposit for each account though, if i remember correctly.

Id imagine if your wanting to link two accounts at the same time to the same market it cant, but you probably can run two instances of bet angel if you have two subscribtions. I could be wrong.

JUST READ THIS IN THE NEW t&c :?


Multiple accounts

From 31 January 2013, customers with an existing Betfair account shall not be permitted to open a new account with Betfair.

Any customer that already has more than one Betfair account on 31 January 2013 is required to nominate a single Betfair account to use across Betfair’s products by contacting the Betfair Helpdesk. Customers that continue to operate multiple Betfair accounts after 31 January 2013 will have their accounts ‘linked’ and managed accordingly. This may affect the extent to which bets can be placed on the Betfair Sportsbook by such customers.

Should Betfair believe, using its absolute and sole discretion, that you have:

registered and/or used more than one account; and/or
acted in collusion with one or more other individuals through a number of different Betfair accounts to back the same combination of selections (regardless of whether or not such bets are struck separately, at a range of different prices or on different days)

in an attempt to exceed the maximum pay-out for an individual account holder across linked accounts, it reserves the right to withhold any winnings arising from such behaviour.

My guessing is that this change makes it easier for them to limit/ban people who take advantage of the value odds from the sportsbook side of their new website...

Well spotted, so basically they are going to limit accounts like an old fashioned bookmaker. Don't understand why they need too when they can hedge on the exchange?

:lol: Have you seen their prices?

I sometimes like to do an Over 2.5 4Fold whilst watching Soccer Saturday, it's just an interest bet for the enjoyment. This week I tried placing the bet on BF's sportsbook, as I couldn't be bothered to look elsewhere.
The 4 games I picked, BF were 1.80, 1.80, 1.70, 1.70
Bet365 were 1.83 on all 4

I've more than one account for various reasons. Lets hope they follow thru with the linking and add my comm points together, although I've feeling they'll be unable to do anything that may possibly benefit the customer :roll:
