Opening an Online Betting Account

Once you have had a look at the options the task of opening an Online account is very easy and will only take a couple of minutes. All you need is a debit or credit card with which to open an account and once you have filled out the application form you will be immediately provided with a username and password and you can bet straight away. One thing to remember you must be over 18 years of age to open an online account.

Opening an Account

Once you click on the Bookmakers link on our website this will take you directly through to the bookmakers home page once there just look for the link for opening an account or register. This may be called join or register or something similar. Once you find it you will be presented with a form, much like if you were buying something online, where you have to supply your name and address and a few other details such as a username & password so you can login each time you visit.

Making a Deposit

With some Online Bookmakers you need to make a deposit to open an account, others let you open the account without putting any money in & then you have to find the "account" section to deposit funds.

Typically the minimum deposit is about £5 although it can be a little higher with some bookmakers. This money is then taken from your bank account (if you used a switch card) or credit card and shown as your account balance. No more money is taken from your account so its easy to limit your losses, an of course you are free to withdraw your money whenever you want much in the same way as you deposited it.

Placing a bet on the Grand National

Once you have money in your bookmaker account you are free to bet up to that amount on the Grand National or any of their markets. There is rarely a minimum amount for a bet but this is never more than £2 and usually a lot less.

To place the bet on the Grand National page, simply go to the Horse racing section and the Grand National will well advertised and just click on this link which will take you to the betting page. Thereafter just select the horse you want to bet on and then enter a stake. You will then be presented with a confirmation page.

All online bookmakers have an "accounts" section where you can add money, withdraw money, check your account balance and see your betting history. This is very useful for keeping track of your bets.
