Betfair Crosses the 3 Million Mark
Betfair is one of the leading online gaming operators. It offers services like online casino, online poker and online sports betting. It has completed ten years in the online gaming industry. Now it has added another landmark by signing its 3 millionth member.
Making this announcement Betfair chief executive David Yu said, “Reaching our three millionth customer is a significant achievement of which I am extremely proud. Our continued growth is a testament to Betfair appealing to a wider range of people than ever before. The fact that we have passed this milestone in the year we celebrate our tenth birthday is symbolic of how far we have come in that time. With what should be the biggest betting event of all time just around the corner in the World Cup we will be looking to build on this achievement as we power our way to four million.”
With an estimated 800,000 active and regular customers the Betfair group processes 6 million wagers a day through one of the best IT systems. In the last year alone Betfair has successfully handled over 500 million wagers. Betfair allows its customers considerable flexibility in making deposits and withdrawals. Players from the United Kingdom can use Maestro, Solo and Delta debit cards, PayPal, Neteller and Moneybookers.
Poli is a popular option with players from Australia. In the last few weeks the indications of an IPO have been growing stronger. Betfair co-founder Andrew Black told eGaming Review, “I think the investor base collectively would want us to make money available to them at some point and we have an obligation to do that.”
