Your transactions with the bookmakers

How do I open an account?

Once you have chosen your bookmaker, click on the “Join now” button and fill in the registration form. Don’t give any false details because the bookmaker needs this information in order to pay you your winnings.

How do I make a deposit?

You can deposit money into your betting account using a bank card, cheque, bank transfer or a money transfer site.

Bank cards provide a quick, safe and practical way to deposit or withdraw money from your account. We recommend bookmakers who use the latest cutting edge technology to encode and protect your banking information. The methods used by bookmakers are comparable to those employed by the major banks (SSL 128-bit encryption technology), ensuring complete protection.

Money transfer websites allow you to send and receive money via an internet-based account. They provide a worthwhile alternative to traditional methods of payment. It is very easy to deposit and withdraw money using these websites and certain bookmakers apply lower charges for transactions using these sites than for payments by bank card. They also have the advantage of allowing you to use several bookmakers while making one single deposit into the money transfer website. You may then allocate this sum to your different bookmakers as you see fit. Money transfer sites are also a good solution if you remain reluctant to use your bank card over the internet.

How do I place a bet?

To place a bet, all you have to do is select the event you’d like to bet on. Click on the chosen forecast. A betting slip appears. Enter your stake. Check your forecast and your stake again, then confirm your bet. Confirmation will then appear on your screen, showing you that your bet has been recorded.

How do I find out the result of my bet?

Bookmakers credit your account in the hour following the end of your chosen event. Consult the “My account” section on your bookmaker’s website for details of your transactions.

How do I collect my winnings?

Are your winnings mounting up in your betting account? You can withdraw some or all of the money owed to you by a bookmaker at any time. You can choose to receive your money by bank card, cheque, bank transfer or via a money transfer website.

Depending on your method of withdrawal, allow between 1 and 5 days before receiving your winnings. The fastest method is by bank card.
