About Us

Who We Are

Betfair is a global online gaming and sports betting operator that changed the way people wager when we pioneered the betting exchange back in 2000. Instead of a traditional bookmaker setting odds, our platform lets players set their own odds and bet against each other in a peer‑to‑peer marketplace. Over the years we've continued to innovate and remain one of the largest and most respected brands in online betting and gaming.

Our Betting Exchange

At the heart of Betfair is our betting exchange — a marketplace unlike conventional sportsbooks. Here, customers can both back and lay bets, trade positions, adjust their position as markets move, and benefit from more competitive prices than traditional fixed‑odds bookies. Our exchange opened the door for a new kind of betting experience focused on fairness, choice, and real market dynamics.

Sportsbook & Other Products

Alongside our iconic exchange, Betfair Sportsbook offers a full range of fixed‑odds betting options across all major sports around the world. From football and horse racing to tennis and eSports, the sportsbook complements the exchange with familiar betting styles. Beyond sports, Betfair also delivers a wide variety of gaming entertainment, including live casino, poker, bingo and virtual games, giving players plenty of ways to enjoy themselves.

Innovation and Features

Innovation runs through everything we do. We were among the first to introduce features that put players in control, such as Cash Out, Price Rush, and unique tools designed to enhance your betting experience. Betfair constantly pushes to build better, smarter and more rewarding ways to engage with markets — whether you’re a casual bettor or a seasoned professional.

Our Global Presence

Founded in London, Betfair now operates internationally with a footprint in multiple markets across Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas. We are part of Flutter Entertainment, a world‑leading sports betting and gaming group that includes some of the most trusted and recognised brands in the industry. This scale allows us to serve millions of customers with secure, reliable and highly competitive products.

Customer Focus

At Betfair, we build products for people who love to bet, explore markets and enjoy gaming experiences. Our team listens to customers, continually improves our platforms and designs features that elevate play. We put fairness, transparency and excitement at the centre of everything we build, and we’re constantly investing to make the experience even better.

Responsible Gaming

We recognise that responsible play is an essential part of a healthy gaming environment. Betfair provides tools and resources that help players manage their accounts and play within their limits. From deposit controls to time‑out options, we make it straightforward for customers to stay in control of their play, and we operate under strict regulatory standards in every market we serve.

Our Culture

Betfair’s culture is rooted in creativity, agility and a mindset that challenges the status quo. We are a team of passionate people who enjoy solving problems and crafting products that make a difference. Listening closely to our community helps us keep the Betfair experience genuine, engaging and rewarding for all kinds of players.

Looking Ahead

We’re proud of what we’ve built, but we’re never done. Betfair continues to explore new opportunities, develop exciting features and expand our footprint in regulated markets around the world. Whether you’re here to explore the exchange, bet with fixed odds or enjoy our gaming suite, we’re always working to make your experience better than yesterday.
