Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Football Compass.
01 Is Football Compass licensed and regulated, and which authority oversees it?
+
Yes – Football Compass is fully licensed by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC) and holds a secondary permit from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). Both regulators enforce rigorous standards for game fairness, anti‑money‑laundering controls and player protection. You can check our licence numbers on the UKGC and MGA public registries to confirm our standing.
02 What deposit and withdrawal methods does Football Compass support, and are there any fees?
+
Football Compass accepts Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz, direct bank transfer, and cryptocurrency deposits (BTC, ETH, USDT). Deposits are instant for cards, e‑wallets and crypto; bank transfers take 1‑3 business days. Withdrawals are processed to the same method used for deposit; e‑wallet withdrawals complete within 24 hours, card and bank transfers in 3‑5 business days. No deposit fees are charged, and the only withdrawal fee is a flat £1 for bank transfers.
03 Why does Football Compass require identity verification, and what documents do I need to provide?
+
Identity verification is required to comply with anti‑money‑laundering regulations and to ensure that you are of legal gambling age. When you sign up, you’ll need to upload a government‑issued photo ID (passport, driver’s licence or national ID) and a recent proof of address (utility bill or bank statement dated within the last three months). Once the documents are reviewed, your account is usually fully verified within 24 hours.
04 What types of bets can I place on World Cup matches at Football Compass?
+
Football Compass offers pre‑match and in‑play betting on all 2026 World Cup games, including match‑result (1X2), over/under goals, both teams to score, Asian handicaps, correct‑score, and a wide range of player‑specific props such as first goalscorer, anytime scorer and man of the match. You can also combine multiple selections into accas or use our cash‑out feature to settle bets early. All markets are priced using decimal odds, with fractional and American formats available in your account settings.
05 How does Football Compass display odds, and can I switch between decimal, fractional, and American formats?
+
By default odds are shown in decimal format (e.g., 2.50). If you prefer fractional (e.g., 3/2) or American (+150) odds, you can change the setting in the ‘My Account → Odds Format’ section at any time. The change applies instantly to all upcoming markets and does not affect settled bets. Switching back is equally straightforward.
06 What tools does Football Compass offer to help me gamble responsibly, such as deposit limits or self‑exclusion?
+
Football Compass provides a suite of responsible‑gambling tools, including optional daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits, loss limits, stake caps and the ability to set a reality‑check reminder that logs you out after a chosen period. If you need a break, you can self‑exclude for a minimum of 24 hours up to permanent closure, and our support team can also refer you to independent gambling counselling services. All limits and self‑exclusions can be adjusted or lifted after the chosen cooling‑off period.
