How To Delete Betfred Account

What Is Betfred?

Betfred is a major gambling company, primarily known for its sports betting and online casino operations. Here's a breakdown of what they do:

Sports Betting:

  • One of the largest bookmakers in the UK: With over 1,600 betting shops across the country, Betfred is a household name for many Brits. They offer odds on a wide range of sports, from football and horse racing to more niche options like darts and esports.

How To Delete Betfred Account

Deciding to close your Betfred account can be a positive step towards responsible gambling or simply a lifestyle change. While Betfred doesn't offer a direct "delete account" option, closing your account is still straightforward and can be completed through their customer service channels. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the process:

1. Contact Customer Support:

  • Live Chat: Head to the Betfred website and click "Contact Us" at the bottom of the page. Select "Live Chat" and connect with a customer service representative.

  • Phone: Call Betfred's customer service line at 0800 085 6277 (UK) or +44 161 663 3636 (international).

  • Email: Send an email to [email protected] outlining your request to close your account.

2. Express Your Intention:

  • Clearly state your desire to permanently close your Betfred account. Mention the reason for your decision, whether it's for responsible gambling, lifestyle changes, or simply no longer wanting to use the platform.

  • Be polite and respectful, even if you've encountered any issues with the platform.

3. Confirm Account Details:

  • To verify your identity and ensure account security, the customer service representative will ask for some personal information. This may include your registered name, date of birth, email address, and/or phone number associated with your account.

4. Self-Exclusion Option:

  • Betfred offers a self-exclusion option, where you can choose to be blocked from accessing your account for a set period, ranging from 6 months to 5 years. While not technically deleting your account, this can be a good alternative if you're seeking temporary abstinence.

5. Account Closure Confirmation:

  • Once your details are verified and your request is confirmed, the representative will initiate the account closure process. This usually involves removing all funds from your account and deactivating your login credentials.

  • Ask for confirmation of the closure and request a closing confirmation email for your records.


How Do I Recover My Betfred Account?

Here are the steps you can take:

1. Forgotten Password:

  • If you simply forgot your password, head over to the Betfred Account Recovery page (https://www.betfred.com/recovery).

  • Enter the email address you used to register with Betfred.

  • Click "Continue" and you'll receive a verification code via email.

  • Enter the verification code and choose how you want to log in - either with a new password or your existing username and the new password.

  • That's it! You should now be able to access your Betfred account with your new login details.

2. Forgotten Email Address:

  • If you can't remember the email address associated with your Betfred account, don't worry. On the same Account Recovery page, click "Forgotten which email I used?".

  • Enter your registered phone number, date of birth, or the last 4 digits of your debit/credit card used for deposits.

  • Click "Continue" and Betfred will send you a list of possible email addresses linked to your account.

  • Select the correct email address and proceed with password recovery as mentioned above.

3. Additional Assistance:

  • If you're still having trouble recovering your account after trying the above steps, or if you've forgotten other details like your username, you can contact Betfred directly for assistance. They offer several ways to get in touch:

  • Live Chat: Available on the Betfred website 24/7.

  • Phone: Call their dedicated customer service line at 0800 032 7333 (UK) or +44 161 872 6356 (International).

  • Email: Send an email to [email protected]

  • Social Media: Send a message through Twitter (@Betfred) or Facebook (@Betfred).


Can I Reopen A Betfred Account After It has been Deleted?

Whether you can reopen a deleted Betfred account depends on two key factors:

1. Reason for deletion:

  • Simple closure: If you closed your account yourself with a "Simple Closure" option, you can usually reach out to Betfred customer support (phone, live chat, email) and request to reopen it. They'll likely verify your identity and may ask for details about why you previously closed the account.

  • Self-exclusion: If you opted for a "Self-Exclusion" period, reopening your account is more challenging. Depending on the self-exclusion duration and how long it's been in effect, it might be permanently closed with no option to recover it. Betfred takes responsible gambling seriously and adheres to self-exclusion regulations.

2. Time since deletion:

  • Recent deletion: If your account was deleted recently, chances of reopening it are higher, especially with a simple closure.

  • Extended deletion: If it's been a long time since the deletion (months or years), Betfred might not be able to recover your account data, making it impossible to reopen it.
