Your account & settings
Sign in with Google or Discord, set your default bookmaker, understand the Free and Pro tier labels, and find support on Discord.
Updated 2026-06-07 · BetFinder team
BetFinder keeps account administration deliberately small. There is no password to set or remember, no profile form to maintain and no billing page — you sign in with an account you already have, and everything you can adjust lives in one compact panel opened from the sidebar. This guide covers signing in and out, what each row of that panel does, the one setting genuinely worth changing — your default bookmaker — and where to go when something does not work.
Nothing here gates anything. Browsing the board needs no account at all, and every feature on it is free — what an account adds is the panel this guide covers: an 18+ age confirmation that sticks, your tier label and the default bookmaker that powers the betslip.
Signing in with Google or Discord
The sign-in page offers exactly two buttons: Continue with Google and Continue with Discord. Pick whichever you already use — the button reads Redirecting… while it hands you over to that provider, you approve the sign-in there, and you come straight back. BetFinder never sees or holds a password; authentication happens entirely at Google or Discord, and the only details stored are your email address, display name and avatar. New accounts are created automatically on first sign-in, and by signing up you agree to the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Risk Disclaimer linked beneath the buttons.
Your very first sign-in adds one extra screen — confirming your date of birth and that you are 18 or over. That happens once and is covered step by step in getting started.
Opening your account panel
At the bottom of the sidebar sits your account chip — your avatar and name with Free tier or Pro tier beneath it, marked with a small dot. (Browsing without an account, the same spot shows a Sign in chip that leads to the sign-in page.) Tap the chip and the account panel opens over the dashboard. Its header shows your avatar (or your initial if your provider has none), your display name and your email; below that sit four rows.
Date of birth
The Date of birth row shows the date you confirmed during onboarding, written out like 4 Mar 1990. It is read-only — there is no edit control, and hovering the row explains why: the date is fixed after first submission.
Tier and subscription
The Subscription row shows your tier — Free or Pro — and is deliberately unclickable, marked Coming soon. Pro exists only as a label today: there is no way to subscribe, no screen asks for payment, and no feature sits behind the tier. The board, the betslip, lay mode, the £ Path planner, the tables and the ratings are all included on Free — open the board and everything is there.
Default bookmaker — the Place at… button
The Default bookmaker row shows your current choice, or None if you have not picked one. Tap it to expand a grid of eleven buttons: None, then ten UK bookmakers — Betfair, bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral, Paddy Power, Sky Bet, Betfred, Unibet and BetVictor. Tap one to make it your default; tap None to clear it.
Setting a default changes one thing: the betslip gains a one-tap Place at… button — for example Place at bet365 — which copies your slip as text and opens that bookmaker in a new tab, ready to paste into its search. With Betfair as your default and exchange-priced selections on the slip, the button goes one better and opens your first leg's exact market page, with the full slip still on your clipboard. Either way the bet itself always happens at your own bookmaker — BetFinder never takes, places or holds bets.
Signing out
The last row, Sign out, ends your session and returns you to the sign-in page. Signing back in needs nothing more than tapping the same provider button again — and because the default-bookmaker preference lives on the device, it is still set when you return on the same browser.
If sign-in fails
Two things can go wrong, and both are recoverable. If the handover to Google or Discord fails before you leave the page, the error appears in red directly beneath the buttons — just try again. If something breaks on the way back, you land on a page headed Sign-in failed, which explains that the sign-in code could not be exchanged for a session — usually because the link expired. Press Back to sign in and go again; a second attempt almost always works. If it keeps happening, contact support through either route below.
Getting help
The quickest route is the Discord link in the sidebar footer — Join our Discord — where you can ask questions, report problems and talk to other users. For account matters that need a person, including date-of-birth corrections and closing your account, email [email protected]. Questions about your personal data — what is held, access requests, deletion — go to [email protected], the data-protection contact named in the Privacy Policy.
Quick answers
Can I sign in with an email and password?
No. Sign-in is only through Continue with Google or Continue with Discord, so there is no password for BetFinder to hold and none for you to remember. Your account is created automatically the first time you sign in.
How do I change my date of birth?
You cannot change it from the app — the row in the account panel is read-only because the date is fixed after first submission. Email [email protected] and support can correct a genuine mistake.
Why is my default bookmaker different on my phone?
Because the choice is saved on the device rather than on your account. Open the account panel on each device you use and pick your bookmaker once there — it then stays put on that device, even across sign-outs.
Is anything locked behind the Pro tier?
No. Pro is a label on the account chip and the Subscription row, which is marked Coming soon and cannot be clicked. Everything BetFinder does today is free, whether you are signed in or just browsing.
