Matchbook and Smarkets your next best similar options.

Fairlay is a bitcoin exchange.

I can assure you Smarkets pays without issue and has a very good customer service. Not sure why the C-rating has not been reviewed as they are almost up to par with Betfair now.

Do a search on the net and I challenge you to find anyone with an issue with them in the past 4 years or so. All problems you'll find are from their early, less funded years and even then they never stiffed anyone.

I don't think SMarkets allows accounts from Canada.

Canada not mentioned as an excluded country in their terms

2.2 Persons who are residents of; or persons who are located in countries where betting with Smarkets is prohibited (including, but not necessarily limited to Australia, France, Hong Kong, Switzerland, China, South Africa, Denmark, Czech Republic, Belgium, Turkey, the United States, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan); cannot register as account holders with Smarkets. United States residents cannot register an account with Smarkets, even if they are located in another jurisdiction. Smarkets may refuse access to its services from any particular jurisdiction at any time.

Can a Canuck user confirm the situation please?

I'm in Canada and just tried to sign up.

I couldn't because Canada is not listed in the drop down menu when filling out the country and currency fields.

So while they don't list Canada as a restricted country, they do not provide any way to signup.

**Esco** · 09-30-18, 08:16 AM

Same here, I can't sign up either

**Optional** · 09-30-18, 08:19 AM

I guess it's either Fairlay or join an offshore broker like Asianconnect88, Premuimtradings or Bet-IBC to access Betfair clones and Matchbook then. :\

There are a couple of new Crypto/Blockchain based exchanges in the works but not going yet. Wagerr.com and Peerplays.com
