To opt into paying just 2% commission, simply visit the 'My Account' section of your Betfair account and select the 'Basic' rewards plan. The 2% commission rate will be applied to your account immediately and you can start making those commission savings.

The Best Price Execution feature enables customers to get matched at the best available odds on the Exchange. With the Best Price Execution feature switched on, if better odds are available, or become available, after you have placed your bet request, your bet will automatically be matched at the improved odds.

For this reason alone, Betfair has no reason to ban or close your account when you should win. This is what Betfair first became famous for; peer-to-peer betting. Whilst the Exchange account won't be closed for winning, there is an additional commission rate.

Betfair charges Commission only on your net winnings on a market. You do not pay commission on losing bets. How much Commision do I pay? This is how it is calculated: Commission = Net Winnings x Market Base Rate x (100%-Discount Rate).
