    Please note we also now have a starter set of video tutorials for those customers that may be new to betting or find our platform tricky to understand. I acknowledge that some of the videos many be very elementary for some of the seasoned pros that frequent SBR but some may prove useful especially when it comes to posting offers and requesting better stakes and prices and obviously for new customers. Videos can be found within the help and tutorial section of our site.

As some of the most influential and frequent posters on this forum have mentioned we DO have GOOD odds and we DO pay. That has to be the foundation of any good betting product.
    I'm sure I could get you several new customers if you were to open up AUD accounts.

    There's a good reason why all those UK books are targetting the Australian market.

    And there's very good reason for Aussie punters to be looking further afield having experienced their pathetic limiting tactics.

    Now we've got them and it will add significantly to volumes.
    Yeah, I've been suggesting this for ages. Not for myself (have $ and GBP accounts so makes no difference), but for liquidity from others.

    Minet, thankyou for your words and also your suggestions. We are currently listed on Betbrain and already have good relations with many of the various odds comparison sites. We did however feel it necessary to deploy the multicurrency feature first as many clients regardless of our great prices and industry leading commission rates would find it annoying that they could only bet in USD. Now that we are addressing such issues rest assured you will find Matchbook as best prices in many more odds comparison sites in the coming months.

    You do a great job responding to questions but always seem to ignore the touted vip rewards program last year. You guys decide not to go forward with it correct?

    MM has been posting in several threads today and it can be hard to keep up but he has addressed that issue. Check the other current Matchbook threads.

    Sorry I did put this in another thread VIP is coming very very soon. Any current customers will be kept at the current commission rates for a significant period of time. After that their wager volume will have to be above a minimum threshold to qualify for the current and better rates. We will release more details in the coming weeks.

    I put that multi-currency-information in a german forum. I for myself will start playing there as soon as I find time to make my "Matchbook-Calculator" to consider the unusual commision structure for my arbs. Thanks for the the beta-tester bonus by the way.

    Good news. I'll be giving MB a go in future. A presence on more odds comparison sites would also be nice.

    We will be happy to have you on board and yes you will start seeing us on more odds sites over the coming year. Our range of deposit options will also increase dramatically to include direct debit and CC deposits . All the new features I have mentioned today will hopefully make player engagement with our product even easier.

    Australia rejoices in the fact that you aren't.

    Brettels is more than enough to put up with.

    Matchbook offering new currencies will make my life alot easier. I was getting a bit tired of having to do math in my head very quick. Cant wait for my new GBP account not on a bad run at the mo, early days though.
    Your rep on live chat says that your live in running product will be up and running in the future would have like to have a bet on gerrard's hatrick when the pool were 1-0 up tonight. When do you think this will be released ? as Im sure you will do lots of business. Good luck with the product I will tell a couple of the lads at work in the morn to check out your site as it is very decent.
    Betfair does my head in takes me about 20 clicks to bet on a effing match,lol

    I object to unwarranted personal insults and accusations of lying.

    Both you and that QQ chap have dished out far far worse than my very mild and wholeheartedly deserved quip.

    Deserved? Why would you deserve anything? You get as good as you give, you can dish but can't take. Grow up, I stopped the bullshyte sling match at shari's request but you as you always do continue on because you are too immature to just stop. It begins again, this is obviously what you want, so don't cry next time you can't handle something.

    If you are seriously saying that my quip was insulting to you, all I can say is you are extraordinarily thin-skinned and I apologise for upsetting you. But frankly it was so much milder than so many remarks you've made and falsehoods you've accused me of and I doubt anyone else (perhaps aside from QQ) would conceivably consider it to be offensive enough to even respond to.

    I'm not upset and can't be insulted by you! Im just acknowledging your attempt, in a thread where I had not posted in so obviously your like a plastic American high school girl with issues. But it's ok, I don't expect you to stop as you have shown your maturity level with your never ending battle trying to prove something with QQ.

    JJ give it a break
    Matchbook is top exchange for US Sports and with multi currency will continue to grow
    Stop bashing this book when all they do is pay and pay promptly whilst offering amazing odds
    There are many other stiff books you should be making people aware of/bash, not a legit book like Matchy

    A small gripe but it's irritating that you can no longer click straight to the 'reports' part directly, now being forced to make an extra click into the 'Your Account' section. More clicking is never a good thing imo.

    The site doesn't entirely fit on my screen anymore since yesterday (Mar. 13), hopefully your business will grow as well.

    Is there any (hidden) setting I can use to adjust things so the entire betting platform fits on my screen, like it has for the previous 4 years?

    They do tend to mess with the presentation for no apparent improvement in functionality but it's okay for me using Firefox. Which browser are you using?

    What screen settings/resolution do you have yours on?
