Frequently asked questions

This page answers the most common questions about ForBets, a marketplace of sports predictions: how to sign in, how to pay for picks and subscriptions, and how the ratings of analysts are calculated.

Press Register in the header, enter your full name, your email and a password, and agree to the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. The password needs at least 8 characters with an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number and a special character.

We send a confirmation link to your email. Follow it to finish creating the account. You can also continue with Google, Facebook or Apple, and then you need no password.

Press Login in the header and enter your email and password, or continue with Google, Facebook or Apple. Remember me keeps you signed in on this device.

If two-factor authentication is on, we ask for the 6-digit code from your authenticator app right after the password.

Check your spam folder first. If it is not there, press Resend link on the sign-up screen, or Resend confirmation link on the login form, and wait for the timer to finish before you try again.

A confirmation link expires. If yours has, enter your email on the page it opens and we send you a new one.

Press Forgot password? on the login form and enter your email. If an account exists for it, we send a link to set a new password. If the link has expired, request a new one.

To change a password you know, open Security in your account and use Change Password.

Open Security in your account and press Set up 2FA. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app, save your 12-word recovery phrase and enter the 6-digit code the app shows.

After that we ask for a code when you sign in, buy picks and request payouts. The recovery phrase is shown only once, so copy it or download it and keep it somewhere safe.

On the sign-in step that asks for the code, press Cannot access your authenticator?, enter your 12-word recovery phrase and press Recover account.

Recovery turns off two-factor authentication, signs out your other devices and pauses purchases and payouts for 24 hours. When you are in, set up 2FA again in Security.

We cannot turn two-factor authentication off for you automatically, because that would also open the account to anyone who knows the password. Write to Contact us instead: we check that the account is yours and restore access by hand.

Write to [email protected] from the email address of your account and say that you lost access to 2FA. We may ask for details only the owner knows. See Contact us for what to include.

Once you are back in, set up 2FA again and keep the new recovery phrase apart from your phone.

Open Personal data in your account and use Delete account. You confirm with your password, the account is deleted for good and you are signed out on every device.

It is not possible while you have active subscriptions, money on your balance or a payout on its way. Cancel the subscriptions, withdraw the balance and try again. An analyst profile with published or settled picks, or with active subscribers, has to be resolved first.
