Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Football Compass.
01 Is Football Compass licensed and regulated?
+
Yes, Football Compass operates under a licence issued by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) and is also compliant with the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). These regulators require regular audits, player-fund segregation, and responsible-gambling safeguards. You can verify our licence numbers on the regulator's public register.
02 What deposit and withdrawal methods are accepted at Football Compass?
+
Football Compass accepts Visa, Mastercard, and Maestro cards, as well as e-wallets Skrill, Neteller, and PayPal. Bank transfers and prepaid vouchers (e.g., Paysafecard) are also available. Crypto deposits (BTC, ETH, USDT) are supported with no minimum and process instantly; withdrawals to e-wallets are usually completed within 24 hours, while card and bank transfers take 3-5 business days.
03 How does Football Compass verify my identity before I can withdraw funds?
+
After registration you will be asked to upload a government-issued ID (passport or driver's licence) and proof of address (utility bill or bank statement). The documents are reviewed within 24 hours; once approved you can withdraw without further delays. If verification fails, Football Compass will request additional information to comply with anti-money-laundering regulations.
04 What markets can I bet on for the 2026 World Cup at Football Compass?
+
Football Compass offers the full suite of pre-match and live markets, including match-winner, both-teams-to-score, over/under totals, Asian handicaps, exact-score, and tournament outrights such as group winner and top-scorer. In-play betting is available for all matches, with cash-out options on most markets. All odds are displayed as decimals by default; you can switch to fractions or American odds in your account settings.
05 What responsible-gambling tools does Football Compass provide?
+
You can set deposit, loss, and stake limits directly from the 'Responsible Gambling' page in your account. Football Compass also offers self-exclusion periods (24 hours to 5 years) and reality-check alerts that notify you after a chosen time on the site. Links to third-party support organisations such as GamCare and BeGambleAware are always visible.
06 What happens to my bet if a World Cup match is postponed or cancelled?
+
If a match is postponed before kick-off, Football Compass will treat it as void and refund the stake to your account, unless the match is rescheduled within the same competition schedule (within 48 hours). For cancelled markets after the event has started, bets are settled according to official competition rules; if a match is abandoned, the outcome is determined by the governing body's official result. You will be notified by email of any settlement changes.
