Hi

Anybody knows what is going on with Betfair exchange and other foreign betting companies in Bulgaria ? Is it true, that they did not get new license ? Thanks

As far as I know, Bulgaria is actually one of the very few countries that managed to work out a licence deal with Betfair for online betting and for online casino, it's listed here : https://www.betfair.com/aboutUs/Regulatory.Information/

Didn't personally hear anything new about Bulgaria recently, just that Betfair left Swiss and is officially leaving Serbia tomorrow and closing down Serbian accounts.

Hi, looks like there's is an issue with renewing the Betfair's licence which expired in Feb/March. So the website is accessible but you cannot currently make bets.

I fired a quick question at Betfair customer support about Bulgaria and this is their reply:

Hi there, we are able to provide our services to Bulgarian customers, however the gaming products, such as Arcade and Casino, are restricted in Bulgaria.

Thanks Kai.

So it looks like exchange is working - if anyone from bulgarian customers can confirm that let as know. Thank you

The Exchange in Bulgaria does NOT work, neither the bookmaker.
When you visit their home page everything looks normal but... when you log in all you can see is "There are no events to be displayed".
I asked the customer service if they are closing business in Bulgaria and they said they will be available again in a month.
I guess we will wait...

I contact them again. They still don't know when they are going to open.

Has this changed? Is Betfair Exchange still not available in Bulgaria?
