Yes – Football Compass is licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). The MGA is a well‑recognised regulator that enforces strict player‑protection, anti‑money‑laundering and fair‑play rules. Our licence number is MGA/CL1/XXXX/2023, and you can confirm its status on the MGA public register.

Football Compass offers a full suite of pre‑match and live betting markets for every World Cup game. You can bet on standard 1X2, Asian handicaps, over/under totals, both‑teams‑to‑score, correct‑score, player specials (first scorer, anytime scorer, total goals), and tournament‑wide markets such as group winners, top‑scorer and overall champion. All odds are shown in decimal format; you can switch to fractional odds in your account settings.

New customers get a 100 % match bonus up to £/$/€100 on their first deposit. The bonus is added immediately but must be turned over 5 times on sports bets with minimum odds of 1.50 before any winnings can be withdrawn. The rollover must be completed within 30 days of claiming the bonus, otherwise the bonus and any resulting winnings are forfeited.

Verification is done by uploading a clear photo of a government‑issued ID (passport, driver’s licence) and a recent proof of address (utility bill, bank statement) in the ‘My Account → Verification’ section. The check is required by law to prevent underage gambling, money laundering and fraud, and to comply with UK Gambling Commission and MGA rules. Most customers are verified within 24 hours; once approved you can request withdrawals.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, PayPal, direct bank transfer and Bitcoin (BTC). Deposits are instant for cards, e‑wallets and crypto; bank transfers take 2‑3 days. Withdrawal times: e‑wallets 24‑48 h, cards 3‑5 business days, bank transfer 5‑7 business days. No deposit fees are charged; a small processing fee may apply to certain withdrawal methods—details are listed in the ‘Payments’ section.

Football Compass provides a range of responsible‑gambling tools you can set yourself: deposit limits, loss limits, stake limits, session‑time alerts, temporary self‑exclusion, permanent self‑exclusion and full account closure. These are available under ‘Responsible Gambling’ or by contacting support. We also partner with GamCare, BeGambleAware and Gamblers Anonymous for external help.
