To protect your funds and personal data, we strongly recommend enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)<\/strong>. This adds a vital layer of security by requiring a unique code from your mobile device every time you log in, making it much harder for unauthorised users to access your balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locate the security settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Log in to your account and navigate to the “My Account” menu. Look for a section labelled “Security Settings” or “Account Privacy.” Within this menu, you will find the option to enable Two-Factor Authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set up an authenticator app<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We recommend using a dedicated app like Google Authenticator<\/strong> or Authy<\/strong> (available on the App Store and Google Play).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Select “Authenticator App” as your preferred 2FA method on the site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A QR code will appear on your screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Open the authenticator app on your phone, tap the “+” icon, and select “Scan a QR code.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Once scanned, your betting account will appear in the app with a 6-digit code that changes every 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Verify and activate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    To complete the setup, enter the 6-digit code currently displayed in your app into the verification box on the website and click “Enable.” Your account is now protected. From now on, you will be prompted for a new code whenever you log in from a new device or browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Save your recovery codes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Upon activation, you will be provided with Recovery Codes<\/strong>. It is vital that you write these down or save them in a secure, offline place. If you ever lose your phone or accidentally delete the app, these codes are the only way to access your account without undergoing a manual verification process with Customer Support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2753<\/span> Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n \n
    \n

    Do I have to enter a 2FA code every time I log in?<\/h4><\/summary>\n
    \n Usually, no. Most UK sites allow you to select “Trust this device”<\/strong> when you enter your code. This means you won’t be asked for a code on that specific laptop or phone for 30 days, though you will still need it if you log in from a different location.\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n\n
    \n

    Is an authenticator app better than SMS codes?<\/h4><\/summary>\n
    \n Yes. Authenticator apps<\/strong> are considered more secure because they don’t rely on the mobile network, which can be vulnerable to “SIM swapping” attacks. They also work offline, which is useful if you have a poor signal.\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n\n
    \n

    What happens if I lose my recovery codes?<\/h4><\/summary>\n
    \n If you lose both your phone and your recovery codes, you will need to contact Customer Support<\/strong>. You will have to go through a strict identity verification process, which may include providing a photo of yourself holding your ID, to prove you are the rightful owner.\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
