Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Fan Strategy.
01 Is Fan Strategy licensed and regulated by any official gambling authority?
+
Yes. Fan Strategy holds a licence from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) and a separate licence from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). Both regulators enforce strict rules on fairness, anti‑money laundering and responsible gambling, and our licence numbers are listed in the site footer.
02 What steps do I need to follow to create and verify my account on Fan Strategy?
+

After login you must upload a government‑issued ID and a recent proof of address; our compliance team usually completes the check within 48 hours. Once verified you can fund your account and start betting.
03 Which payment methods are accepted for deposits and withdrawals on Fan Strategy?
+

Deposits are instant; e‑wallet withdrawals are processed within 24 hours, while card and bank transfers take 3‑5 business days. No fees are charged by Fan Strategy, though your payment provider may apply its own charges.
04 What does the term "Asian handicap" refer to in Fan Strategy's World Cup betting markets?
+
An Asian handicap is a spread‑style bet that gives one team a positive or negative goal line to eliminate the draw outcome. For example, a -0.5 handicap on the favourite means it must win for the bet to pay, while a +1.0 handicap on the underdog returns a win if the match ends in a draw or a narrow loss. This market often offers more balanced odds than a standard 1X2 line.
05 What are the minimum and maximum stake limits for a single World Cup match on Fan Strategy?
+
The smallest amount you can place on any selection is $0.10 (or the equivalent in your currency). Maximum stakes vary by market; main 1X2 and handicap markets can go up to $5,000 per bet, while specialized props may be capped lower. Exact limits are shown in the bet slip before you confirm the wager.
06 How can I set self‑imposed limits or self‑exclude from Fan Strategy if I feel my gambling is becoming a problem?
+
In the ‘Responsible Gambling’ section of your account settings you can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit caps, loss limits and session‑time reminders. If you need a break, choose a temporary self‑exclusion ranging from 24 hours to several weeks, or a permanent account closure. All these tools are designed to help you stay in control, and we also provide direct links to support organisations such as GamCare and BeGambleAware.
