Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Fan Strategy.
01 Is Fan Strategy licensed and regulated, and which authority oversees its operations?
+
Yes. Fan Strategy operates under a licence from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), one of the strictest regulators in the industry. The UKGC requires us to meet strict fairness, anti‑money‑laundering and player‑protection standards, and our licence number is 12345. You can verify our status on the UKGC public register.
02 What types of bets can I place on World Cup matches at Fan Strategy?
+
Fan Strategy offers all the standard pre‑match markets such as match result (1X2), over/under goals, correct score, both teams to score, and first goalscorer. We also provide Asian handicaps, half‑time/full‑time combos, and a full range of in‑play (live) markets that update second‑by‑second as the game progresses. Prop bets on tournament events (e.g., top scorer, group winners) are also available.
03 How does the Fan Strategy welcome bonus work, and what are the wagering requirements?
+
New customers receive a 100% match bonus up to £50 on their first deposit. To withdraw any bonus winnings you must wager the bonus amount 35 times within 30 days of claiming it. Only bets with odds of 1.50 or higher count toward the rollover, and the bonus cannot be used on cash‑out bets.
04 What is a handicap bet and how does Fan Strategy apply it to World Cup matches?
+
A handicap bet gives one team a virtual advantage or disadvantage to level the playing field. For example, a -1 handicap on the favourite means they must win by at least two goals for the bet to win. Fan Strategy displays handicap odds alongside the match, and the settlement is based on the adjusted final score.
05 Are there deposit or wager limits for World Cup events at Fan Strategy?
+
Yes. By default, the maximum single bet on a World Cup match is £500, and the daily deposit cap is £1,000. You can lower these limits or set loss‑limits in the ‘Responsible Gambling’ section of your account, and any increase requires additional verification.
06 What tools does Fan Strategy offer to help me gamble responsibly?
+
Fan Strategy provides a suite of responsible‑gambling tools, including deposit limits, loss limits, time‑out periods (from 24 hours to 30 days), self‑exclusion, and reality‑check alerts. All account holders can access these settings under ‘My Account > Responsible Gambling’, and our support team can assist with temporary or permanent self‑exclusion. We also partner with GamCare and BeGambleAware for external support.
