    Betfair - alternatives

    Hi all,

    Betfair recently closed their operations in The Netherlands, so I'm looking for alternatives. I'm guessing it will have to come via brokers, and ideally I'm looking for an exact copy of Betfair with all the functions and liquidity Betfair has.

    I do not use some kind of bot or something to back/lay selections, so no problem if that's not possible. I just used Betfair to back individual selections and place lays against selections. Mainly for football(soccer), tennis, cycling, darts, winter sports and some niche sports/events. Pre-match, as well as in-play.

    What are my options, if any?

    Extra question: does anyone happen to know if Betfair is looking to obtain a license for the Dutch market?

    Best option would be BetInAsia, as they are premium option for BF alternative (OrbitX), but be very careful, recently they have had several funds confiscation and "login steals" where some customers lost their all balances and BIA doesn't care.

    Other options are Bet-IBC (hilarious fees, borderline insulting) and AsianConnect.

    If you want to use Mollybet platform (which has BF included, but not all those sports), Sportmarket is way to go.

    Have you looked at Smarkets? I think that is open to Netherlands.

    Brokers have Orbitz, not really 100% trustworthy, also you can have back odds on platforms like mollybet or vodds

    VODDS limited sports...hoops, tennis and soccer although you can go with their Odds4Sports (Mollybet Platform) many more sports via East Bridge

    BetinAsia use Mollybet only

    Same with Sportmarket

    Orbit cannot be trusted stand alone

    Forget IBC as far as Mollybet they add approx 3% to 15% to all odds

    IBC also has endless fees although they do pay, IBC maybe ok for Pinnacle

    Thanks for the suggestions guys.

    I have looked at Orbit (via Asianconnect) through a test account. I was also suggested Piwi by an Asianconnect representative, I had a look at that as well.

    Looks like one of them will do the job

    I have been hearing good things about a relatively new one called Fair999.
    Anyone has any experience with them?
