Betfair Reaches 3 Million Mark

It's all happening at Betfair; 2010 is turning out to be a landmark year in more ways than one.

As Betfair celebrate their first decade in business they reflect upon a year that has seen them notch up a host of other impressive achievements.

This sportsbook, poker hall and online casino is a real hub of activity and now processes an incredible 6 million transactions each day. Over the period of the past year they have taken some 500 million bets and the customers just keep on signing up and staying around to enjoy the exciting range of sports wagers and online games on offer.

All this activity is great for business and in the last five years their total revenues have nearly tripled, rising from £107 million in 2005 to £303 million for the year ended April 30th 2009.

As if all those achievements and zeros weren't enough, Betfair has now announced that in their tenth anniversary year they have achieved record levels of growth and just signed up their 3 millionth customer.

"Reaching our three millionth customer is a significant achievement of which I am extremely proud," said David Yu, Betfair's Chief Executive Officer. "Our continued growth is a testament to Betfair appealing to a wider range of people than ever before. The fact that we have passed this milestone in the year we celebrate our tenth birthday is symbolic of how far we have come in that time."

Betfair has three sections on their ever-evolving website. The foundation of their gaming service is the sensational Betfair Sportsbook, which has a huge selection of sporting events to bet on and highly competitive odds. You can bet for or against a given outcome and enjoy the excitement of live in-play betting too.

Their online poker room holds regular tournaments and has plenty of promos and big bonus games.

Finally, the Betfair online casino contains 150 thrilling games and includes the Zero Lounge which has a zero house margin.

Yu commented, "With what should be the biggest betting event of all time just around the corner in the World Cup we will be looking to build on this achievement as we power our way to four million."

Between them, Betfair's three sites use state of the art technology, provide great games and the biggest array of bets with the best odds around. Why not find out what all the fuss is about and make yourself the 3,000,001st player to sign up.  Sometimes it's wise to follow the crowd.
