    Not true...Betmaker accepts US customers...can't figure out why they haven't taken off. If nothing else, I'm surprised the pros aren't scalping both match and betmaker, as they are plenty of scalpable lines between the two. Plus Betmaker accepts both 2 letter money transfer options...

    email address is support@b-markets.comor and payments@b-markets.com, , i think they are laying/backing off on betfair, who cares long as they pay.

    only found them a day or so ago,

    think they are based in latin america, they accept us $$, brazil peso as currency, euros

    think they take us players

    fukin fortunes on every market!!!!

    they paid so great!!!

    hope it lasts

    if ur wary then maybe just deposit 10$ or so, see how it works out

    why the hell would you (assuming you're a non-us customer) play there if all they do is backing/laying your bets off on bf, since you can basically play at betfair yourself.

    this makes no sense at all unless you're shilling

    what a ridiculously bad setup website btw. spelling mistakes/words missing everywhere, league descriptions which give no clue about which league they actually mean until you click it and see the teams, totally chaotic design, no clue about where they actually are, no address etc.
    they claim to be licensed by the lga in malta, which is not a good sign. but on top of that, i can't find any mention of them on the lga-website (they list all licencees), which in itself isn't conclusive, but suspicious nonetheless. a who-is points back to them being in spain, but that's not really conclusive either.

    and btw, odds aren't the same as bf. and they do appear to be reading this forum one way or the other as "Sing Up" has now suddenly been changed.

    anyway, only an idiot would play here.

    What more do you know about them? Like you said weird none of the big arbers here talk about this site? Im about to go look them up on the SBR list.

    So they keep games open during play? Smart balance? Tell me more if you play there please!

    I am curious how many points did you get for posting this observation about people posting off-topic to get points?

    None. Despite what that poster below me said, that was prob my tenth or eleventh post for the day. I had been posting in an in-game cricket thread - http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/players-ta...nt-profit.html.

    Not to pull this too far off track, you just see these spamming trolls everywhere on SBR.

    As far as this exchange goes - $50 withdrawal is nothing - isn't that how ponzi schemes and the like work? Buy your trust with an initial withdrawal and then take your real deposit?

    I'd exercise a lot of caution here.

    yes caution is needed with every new book so best to start off with only a few $$$

    who knows how this will turn out? great if it stays.

    OP looks increasingly like a shill. and reading the title of this thread somehow induces me to think he perhaps contributed to those wonderful "sing-up" T&Cs

    I sent them an email about affiliates got back some jiberish about needing to be on a list, so I responded them again and here is what I got in response. Im still unsure about how to determine if they accept US players by their response:

    Dear Mr. Tood,

    About the affiliates program, its a question I can not answer you until its being queried to the affiliate manager.


    1) Do you allow users from the USA? USA government prohibit that although we haven't been awared about it.
    2) I noticed you have an option to change currency from Euro to Dollars, etc - do you have/could you add options to change odds from decimal to US and percentage also (like
    Matchbook.com)? Well, the option for changing of currency its only watching effects because the exchange only works with Euro by now.
    3) Is there a XML odds feed available where I can download your odds onto my website? I have an odds page that makes it easy for my users to find the best odds across about 10 popular books/exchanges. I can customize you an XML for you.
    Best Regards.
    Juan Antonio.

    Thanks for your response.

    Yes that would be fine, please do add me to your list.

    In the mean time, would it be possible to refer affiliates using the code or by giving you the email address that they will register from? Then when your program finishes development you could move those users over to my affiliate package?

    The website I operate caters to traders who currently use Matchbook and BetFair - most of us used Tradesports when that was in existence also.

    My other questions to you are as follows:

    1) Do you allow users from the USA?
    2) I noticed you have an option to change currency from Euro to Dollars, etc - do you have/could you add options to change odds from decimal to US and percentage also (like

    Look forward to your reply,
    Todd

    Hello everybody. This bookie is from spanishes owners, but its adress is at Malta. They are on line only for a few months ago and until today they are paying everybody. If someone wants to know more about this i can link here a thread from an spanish forum where you can read nobody has a problem with them but of course the posts are in spanish. A friend of mine withdraw 137 euros a week ago and i have money in but still don´t withdraw. I think they don´t allow american users if they live in usa.

    OP's English is too good to be that of a shill. The amounts reported as paid out don't inspire confidence though, really.

    Todd, I thought Betmaker had something to do with the Bookmaker/Cris family. That's all I know because I don't need a US-focused exchange. If you have particular questions, maybe start a new thread on it or e-mail Bookmaker CS and ask? As this thread is about a Euro-exchange, you probably won't get much useful feedback here.

    I looked at Betmaker at the start of basketball and the liquidity was horrendus. I mean, there was barely $500 across all offers on some games. and the price spreads were terrible too.

    I had never heard about it until someone mentioned it in a response in this thread somewhere - so I figred maybe he had some experience with it.

    I dont even see it listed on the SBR list which immediately throws up the red flag.

    Im more than willing to take a chance on some new exchange for a few hundred dollars to see what its about. But would need some backround to get a real deposit

    Looks like they are attempting to play off the URL of a proper new startup exchange in the uk ... http://smarkets.com/

    An exchange which offers a 150 signup bonus? (shudder)

    Hadn't thought of that connection. Maybe they are to Smarkets what Betewin was to Bwin?

    Im not sure of the process - but can we get anyone from the SBR to review these books that are mentioned aboves credentials?

    We can sit here and guess all night long - and they can pay out to one player - but Id feel alot better if we could get the SBR to look at them. I would def support a new exchange if it was just starting out - but dont want to get scammed either.

    Good point ... forgot about them.

    I had a long chat with the head of SMarkets awhile back when they were refiguring their commission structure, many of the guys behind that are all ex-financial markets guys like myself and all seem to have their heads on straight / have a clue what they are doing

    Marked difference to the "running from someone's garage seemingly as a fun side project" b-markets guy ...
