Critical first steps:
- Withdraw all funds from your account
- Cancel pending bets and settle all wagers
- Download betting history for tax records
- Take screenshots of account balance and details
Service Warning
Betfred has widespread customer service issues including 40+ minute wait times and frequent disconnections. Be prepared for delays.
