Then how to watch Games?

* After you registered, go to the BetFair site and On top, you see a a Live Video option. Click on it!

Multiples Soccer Horse Racing Racing Quick Bet Greyhounds Live Video

* Or on your right you see

* Or you can reach it by reading all info To watch here.


Why I don't see an event listed?

Some games are blocked for several countries. Some events do require money on your account. Then you see it written. But be aware that Video stream get's available a few minutes before the event starts. On the Live Video page you can see which Events are on!


Bigger Screen Tutorial;

Tutorial for IE7. But I assume it might work in any browser with a zoom function.

1. Open the standalone player
2. Right bottom of IE7 there is a Zoom function. Choose 50%.
3. The zoom is in the status bar, if you can't see it, you have hidden it.
4. Right click the black area in the flash player.
5. Select Show All
6. Zoom to whatever size you like.
7. Enjoy

Enjoy!

i am in usa i try the link and put my dads name and details in uk
but it still whould not let me sign up saying i am in usa how can i sign up to this site i love watching uk horse racing and i would have a bet as well as i got a uk bank account still how can i use a uk proxy for it as i not good with that stuff

and why does it say you can bet in us dollers if noone can bet from usa ??

[Admin]

Did you look at the Betfair Help already? Betfair is also pretty new to me, not much experience with it. They do advertise with dollars and so, so then I guess you should be able to sign up in some way

Hopefully someone else can give you a fast help with registering an UK account, please post back if you can't find anything in their FAQ either...

[potty_usa]

must be my isp as i get this

Owing to legal restrictions, Betfair does not accept bets from within the USA. We have stored your details and will contact you in the case of a change in policy. If you require more information, please contact our Helpdesk on 0044 20 8834 8060 or email info@betfair.com.

and put all my dads name address etcetc and it still would not let me in weird that as i use it on other placers than do not let peopel from usa gamble

does not even have usa on the list of countries in the dropdown window wonder if a proxy would work but good with them things

[Admin]

The last thing you can do is ask a bypass by mailing them, but I think they're just not allowed then

Hey...
I think that this betfair thing is really good...but unfortunately I´m not 18 years old and I can´t post the adresses and names of my parents..
What can I do?

[Admin]

Think a bit logic, if you aren't going to put money on it and only use it to watch then just register with a name and adress...

Yeah I know, but they say anything about that they are going to look if those adresses and names etc are true, and I would have to fake my age..

[Admin]

don't know that, can't you ask you parents if it's allowed to use their name, only to watch and enjoy these events? If it's too much hazzle try to use p2p if possible instead of betfair

[yaniv4321]

somehow can to do full screen?

[Admin]

Can;t find it in their FAQ, but try watching it in the seperate window;

Can I separate the video screen from the Betfair Live Video site?
Yes. Use the "Player Only" button under the Windows Media Player to view the video only.

[MAscis]

Is this not free no more, been away. didn look like this before. kindof but, wtf is berfair?

I have Ubuntu on my PC. Is it something i should think about when watch live TV, like VLC player for Linux, or some like that?

[Admin]

It's free, you only need to register and it shows you the matches
Use p2p or use other channels or use this one. It's just a betting site showing live video. Also a way to watch.

With ubuntu it's hard to use most streams...

[atsic]

Video is down on both betting sites now. anyway.

[Admin]

Match almost over, remember that it is restricted on geo basis.

[Kurtje]

I tried with that zoom function in IE. But The Screen stays the same. Only the tekst are zoomed in and there is extra black underneath and right ofit

[mel579]

how can I watch betfair in fullscreen with firefox?

[Admin]

See first post at the bottom, that might work.

[mel579]

unfortuntaly not, I tried it, but it didn't work. Is there any other chance, perhaps via VLC?
