On markets that will go in-running, you can decide to make use of our Bet Persistence facility and ‘Keep’ the bet, even once the market turns in-play. This provides another opportunity to get the bet on, although there is still no guarantee you will be matched at your requested price as the market may never reach that level.
The market will suspend as normal once the event starts, but when it turned in-play all bets which had the “Keep” option selected will remain and be available for other customers to match. Bets which are kept in this way retain their original place in the queue to be matched.
Simply put, Know Your Customer (KYC) is our opportunity to positively identify Betfair members to ensure that we know who they are, and involves certain members being requested to supply us with documents to prove their identity.
This is for the security of both us and our customers. You can find out more about the requirements here
