Matchbook was established in 2004 and since then has created a very big customer base across the world. We are talking about a betting exchange and in many ways a lot of people will say that they are Betfair’s main competitor. They are based and licensed in Alderney. They started off from America, but in February of 2011 the company was acquired by UK investors. Upon the acquisition, Matchbook immediately withdrew from the US market, beginning their international expansion, while in 2012 they made a powerful entry in Europe and Asia as well.

The website is renewed, making the navigation really easy. The main difference and what differs Matchbook from Betfair, is the lowest commision they get from each bet placed. This commission reaches 1%, instead of Betfair’s starting 5%. They are also preferred for the great offered range of bets at American sports. Also, Matchbook offers a satisfying range of sports and lots of non sports markets, such as bets for movies, awards etc. Their greatest feature is the huge Asian Handicap selections, but they also allow you to act as a bookie, as well as take the chance to sell or trade your bets. Furthermore, it is important that the limits, especially on prematch bets are huge, meaning that the high rollers are really welcome at Matchbook.

The live betting section has been built on the same way, players can also back or lay their bets, while a wide range of Asian Handicaps is available.

The variety of payment methods is huge, but which ones will be available to each player, depends on the country of residence. Deposits and withdrawals are free of charge. Furthermore, players may enjoy Casino, Games and Live Casino, with most of the games provided by the excellent Netent’s platform. Νew members may enjoy a welcome offer of £500 cash back for bets that are placed in the first 5 weeks after the registration.

As for the sponsorships, Matchbook acts as a sponsor to the English Championship side Brentford, while they have been the main sponsors to lots of events, such as Qatar Goodwood Festival and several horse races.
