Betfair Exchange Alternatives – Why do we need Alternative to Betfair Exchange?
Betfair – the No.1 Betting Exchange
Betfair (owned by Flutter Entertainment plc) is the world-leading betting exchange providing;
- the Largest Market Coverage
- the Highest Liquidity
Please note that liquidity is a very important factor to assess betting exchange. Liquidity is a measure of the amount of money which is being bet on that event. A betting exchange is Not against Bookmaker But Peer To Peer. If participating players are not there or limited, you will face a real risk that you will not get your bet matched at the odds you want. Remember you can only take what is there.
Betfair 2 Problems
So, what’s wrong with Betfair? Now, let’s get into our key subject in this report – Betfair Alternatives!! Why & Who Need Them? There are 2 key issues related to Betfair;
- The Highest Commission of 5-7%: for advantage players especially for sharp price takers like Betfair traders, matched betters & arbitragers who scalp small profits from many betting, the commission is a critical element that affects a lot in the long-term.
- Geographical Limit: there are many countries where Betfair don’t have a license to operate or pull out with reasons.
Betfair Commission By Country
The current Betfair commission, called MBR (Market Base Rate) are;
- MBR 5% – United Kingdom / Ireland / Italy / Gibraltar / Malta / Denmark
- MBR 7% – Albania / Armenia / Croatia / Monaco / Serbia & Montenegro / Slovakia
- MBR 6.5% – All other countries
Betfair Operating Countries
You can find if Betfair is available in your country by checking Betfair restricted countries like below site;
2 Groups Seeking Betfair Alternatives
Then, naturally, there are 2 groups who look for Betfair Alternative site;
- Those who may (or may not) already access to Betfair but seek for another exchange (s) mainly for a lower commission or expand the options to lay
- Those who can’t legally / physically access to Betfair thus look for Betfair Alternatives
Let’s see the solutions for each group.
Betfair Alternatives Solution For Those Who Want Additional Exchange(s)
I assume many of you who already have Betfair account and come to this page, may be aware of the other major betting exchanges. But in case you have used only Betfair so far, it’s a good opportunity to expand your options with much lower commissions.
3 Other Big Betting Exchanges
There are 3 other established Bet Exchanges sites like Betfair, which are Betdaq, SMarkets & Matchbook. In addition, there are 2 key Betfair White labels provided by bet brokers.
Latest Commission
The below commission rates apply to all the jurisdictions each exchange operates;
- SMarkets: 2% to all sports (apply to only net winnings)
- Betdaq: 2% to all sports (they have reduced the commission from 5% since 26 Feb 2018) (apply to only net winnings)
- Matchbook Exchange: 2 different rates, 1) 1.5% when you accept an existing offer in a market 2) 0.75% if you post an offer which another user then matches (this % apply to both winning & losing bet)

Betfair Alternatives Solutions For Those Who Can’t Access To Betfair
Alternatives to Betfair Caution – VPN (Virtual Private Network)
For those who can’t access to Betfair because you live in the country Betfair don’t operate, this is an important caution.
Betfair restricts many countries due to their own company policy & business interest. Some betting advice sites or forum suggest VPN access to sign up Betfair.
Yes, you may be able to physically access, register & bet. However, Betfair’s KYC (Know Your Customer) policy will enforce you to verify your account with ID (Passport / Driving license etc), Address Proof (Utility Bill, Bank Statement etc) & possibly Deposit Method Proof (Credit / Debit card Both Side).
They may ask for it right after registration or may not ask until you start withdrawal, depending on the individual case. If you fail to verify, your account will be suspended & your winnings could be confiscated, which is a disaster.
So, don’t believe the rogue site’s unfounded story lightly. Unless you have a reliable person who allows you to use the above personal information willingly (probably only immediate family or extremely close friend), you’d better forget about this approach. If you have such a reliable source then see Best VPN For Betting – Why Sharp Needs Privacy.
Betfair White Label
However, Betfair has started actively exploring missing profit opportunities in those restricted countries by providing White Label solution which is explained by Flutter Entertainment page, which describes the key figures & liquidity as below;
Means people can enjoy exactly identical Betfair platform under re-branded site. It’s typically described as “Powered By Betfair" in the site where Betfair white label approach is used. We share 3 companies that use Betfair white-label in this report as you see the details below. BTW, 9Wicket, Fair999 & Betmantra which used to provide Betfair White Label are no longer in operation, so remember the fragility of this industry, just FYI.
Warning
The companies that usually offer Betfair White label are so-called bet brokers. And most of them seem to be SMBs (small & medium-sized businesses) but are collecting a lot of money from punters all over the world. Therefore, any of their mismanagement may put your money in danger.
For example, BET IBC that also provides Betfair White Labels are alleged to vanish a customer’s 64K winnings. For further details, read Honest Opinion About Bet Broker & How To Use Them Safely & Smartly, which includes several warning signs related to the bet brokers & the detail of the BET IBC Issues.
