What You Get

Key Features of the betfair App

The betfair mobile app brings the full power of the world's largest peer-to-peer sports exchange to your pocket. Here's what sets it apart.

Live Exchange Markets

Bet and trade in real time across football, horse racing, tennis, and 40+ other sports — with prices set by fellow users, not a bookmaker.

In-Play Betting & Trading

Markets stay open during events so you can respond to momentum shifts and lock in green positions the moment odds move in your favor.

Lay Betting

Act as the bookmaker — lay any outcome to profit when a selection loses, a core betfair feature unavailable on traditional sportsbook apps.

Cash Out — Full & Partial

Secure a profit or minimize losses before the final whistle with one-tap cash out. Partial cash out lets you hedge while staying in the action.

Odds Ladder & Depth Chart

View the full order book at a glance — see available liquidity at each price point so you can place bets with confidence and get matched fast.

Price Alerts & Push Notifications

Set custom alerts for target odds on any market. Instant push notifications mean you never miss an opportunity when prices hit your threshold.

Biometric Login & Secure Payments

Touch ID and Face ID login, 256-bit encryption, and fast withdrawals to your verified payment method keep your account and funds safe.

Profit & Loss Dashboard

Track every bet, net P&L per sport, and commission paid — filterable by date range so you can review your performance and refine your strategy.

Common Questions

betfair App FAQ

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about the betfair mobile app.

Is the betfair app free to download?

Yes. The betfair Exchange App from BetfairZone is completely free to download on both iOS and Android. There are no subscription fees — the exchange model means betfair earns a small commission only on winning bets.

Which devices support the betfair app?

The betfair app runs on iOS 15 or later (iPhone and iPad) and Android 8.0 or later. It is optimized for screens from 4.7 inches up to large tablets.

How is betfair different from a traditional sportsbook app?

betfair operates a peer-to-peer exchange. Instead of betting against a bookmaker's fixed prices, you match bets with other users — which typically means better odds, the ability to lay (bet against) outcomes, and in-play trading tools not found in standard sportsbook apps.

Can I cash out my bets in the betfair app?

Yes. The betfair app includes a full Cash Out feature that lets you lock in a profit or limit a loss before an event finishes. Partial cash out is also available on selected markets.

Is betfair available in the United States?

betfair's exchange product availability depends on individual US state regulations. Always verify the legal status in your state before registering. BetfairZone is an informational resource only and does not facilitate real-money wagering.

What should I do if the betfair app won't open?

First, ensure your device meets the minimum OS requirements (iOS 15+ or Android 8.0+). Try force-quitting the app, restarting your device, and checking for an update in the App Store or Google Play. If the issue persists, contact betfair Support directly via their official help center.
