History [ edit ]

The company was founded in June 2000, by Andrew Black and Edward Wray.[1] Softbank purchased 23% of 👄 Betfair in early April 2006, valuing the company at £1.5 billion. In December 2006, Betfair completed the purchase of the 👄 horseracing publishing company Timeform (which traded under the name Portway Press Ltd).[2]

Betfair was the first betting company to sponsor an 👄 English football team, featuring on the kit of Fulham in the 2002–03 season before the Gambling Act 2005 permitted the 👄 industry to advertise on television and radio.[3][4]

In March 2007, Betfair launched its own Betfair Radio service, available via its website, 👄 on the telephone and elsewhere. This has now become Timeform Radio, broadcasting horse racing commentary and results.[5] On 27 January 👄 2009, Betfair announced the purchase of the TVG Network in the United States from Macrovision US$50 million as part of 👄 Macrovision's dissolving of TV Guide's assets.[6]
