Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Fan Strategy.
01 Is Fan Strategy licensed and regulated for sports betting?
+
Fan Strategy operates under a licence from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) and also complies with UK Gambling Commission standards for certain markets. The licence guarantees that the platform follows strict fairness, security and player‑protection rules. You can check the licence number in the site footer or on the MGA public register.
02 What types of bets can I place on World Cup matches at Fan Strategy?
+
Fan Strategy offers pre‑match and in‑play markets such as match winner, draw no bet, Asian handicap, over/under totals, both teams to score, correct score and group‑stage accumulators. All markets can be displayed in decimal, fractional or American odds, which you can switch in your account settings. Live betting is available for most games, with cash‑out options on selected markets.
03 How do I verify my account and why is it required?
+
Fan Strategy uses a quick KYC (Know Your Customer) process: you upload a government‑issued ID and a recent proof of address. Verification is required to comply with anti‑money laundering regulations and to confirm you are of legal betting age (usually 18+). Once approved, you can deposit, bet and withdraw without delays; the process typically takes under 15 minutes, but may take up to 24 hours during busy periods.
04 What payment methods are accepted for deposits and withdrawals?
+
Deposits can be made with Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, bank transfer and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT. Withdrawals are processed to the same method used for the deposit where possible; e‑wallet withdrawals usually clear within 24 hours, while card and bank transfers take 3‑5 business days. All transactions are encrypted and there are no hidden deposit fees.
05 What responsible gambling tools does Fan Strategy provide?
+
Fan Strategy offers self‑exclusion (temporary or permanent), deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders and reality‑check alerts. You can manage these tools from the Responsible Gaming section of your account. The platform also provides links to external support organisations such as GamCare and BeGambleAware for players who need professional help.
06 What happens to my bet if a World Cup match is postponed or cancelled?
+
If a match is postponed before kick‑off, all bets are void and the stake is returned unless the match is rescheduled and completed within the same tournament window. For in‑play bets, if the match is abandoned, bets on already decided outcomes (e.g., a goal scored) stand, while undecided markets are void. Full rules are detailed in the Betting Rules section on Fan Strategy.
