General Information
Matchbook is a major sports betting exchange that was established in 2004. Initially, the site was offering bets in the US and carved out a large share of the market. It didn’t take much time for their success to be notice and later on they took UK investors’ attention, who acquired the company in 2011 and Matchbook became the one of the biggest betting exchanges in the UK.
One of the most loved features of Matchbook is the quality of the odds. Players can bet as much as they like without any limits, as long as the amounts are matched by another player, because nobody is playing against the house. It’s a great feature for the high rollers, and it also means you can place small bets to have fun too.
The low commission also boosts the quality of the odds. It is always worth checking out Matchbook before placing a bet with your usual bookmaker, because it is really common to find better odds on an exchange than the odds you would find at traditional bookies’ sites.

Matchbook has an ever-expanding market selection. They cover all the major sports but also have a wide range of less-popular events. You can find very competitive odds on a variety of markets, including:

Deposit/withdrawal methods and bonuses
The accepted currencies in the website are USD, EUR, and GBP. The list of the methods varies depending on the jurisdiction, but you can always choose Visa, MasterCard, bank wire transfer and top e-wallet providers like Neteller and Skrill, being the minimum deposit for most methods €5 or £. Additionally, the withdrawals must be made to the original payment source. Therefore, if a deposit is made with a specific Visa card, the withdrawals need to go back to the same card, and when it comes to bank transfer withdrawals, the minimum amount is $500 with a $35 fee.
In order to compensate for these limitations, Matchbook offers a £20 to £30 risk free bonus for the first deposit. It comprises a £15 back bet and £15 lay bet, the two wagers must go on different betting markets and if either of them loses, you will gain a full refund in your account. The welcome bonus funds would take up to 48 hours to be credited, though, and they come with a 5x rollover (which means you have to play the bonus funds through five times before it can be withdrawn).
