Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Football Compass.
01 What documents are required to verify my Football Compass account?
+
To verify your account, Football Compass requires a government‑issued photo ID (passport, driver’s licence or national ID), a recent proof of address such as a utility bill or bank statement, and possibly a selfie to confirm identity. The documents must be clear, in colour, and dated within the last three months. Verification is usually completed within 24‑48 hours; you’ll receive an email once approved.
02 How does Football Compass calculate odds for World Cup matches?
+
Odds are generated using a combination of statistical models, historical performance data, team news, and market‑adjusted lines from leading bookmakers. The platform also factors in live data for in‑play markets, adjusting the odds in real time as the match progresses. This ensures competitive odds while reflecting the latest information available.
03 What does 'handicap betting' mean and how is it applied in football?
+
Handicap betting gives one team a virtual advantage or disadvantage to level the playing field. For example, a -1.5 handicap on the favourite means they must win by two goals for the bet to win, while the underdog receives a +1.5 handicap. If the match ends within the handicap margin, the bet is a push and the stake is refunded.
04 Is Football Compass licensed and regulated, and how is my personal data protected?
+
Football Compass operates under a licence from the Curacao Gaming Control Board, which enforces fairness and responsible gambling standards. All personal data is protected with 256‑bit SSL encryption and is processed in line with GDPR requirements. The site also uses two‑factor authentication to secure your account.
05 Are there any restrictions on betting on players under 18 in the World Cup?
+
Yes – Football Compass prohibits bets on any player who is under 18 at the time of the market, in line with international gambling regulations. If a market inadvertently includes an under‑18 player, it will be voided and stakes returned. This policy is designed to promote responsible betting and comply with child‑protection laws.
06 What is the maximum payout limit for World Cup bets on Football Compass?
+
The maximum payout for a single World Cup bet is capped at €100,000 (or equivalent in your currency). For parlays or system bets, the limit applies per event and is prorated based on the number of selections. Any winnings exceeding the cap are not paid out; you’ll be notified of the limit before confirming your wager.
