Summary
Matchbook betting exchange is one of the newer betting exchanges. Matchbook has quite a comprehensive offering for US sports such as American Football although does have good coverage of the UK sports betting exchange betting landscape. Matchbook competes heavily on commission rates and welcome offers to attract new customers.
Matchbook is headquartered in Alderney and licensed by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission and the UK Gambling Commission. They offer a very small commission charge of just 1% on each bet placed. The commission is applied to the win amount (profit) on winning bets, and for losing bets, it is applied to the lesser of the stake or potential profit/liability amount. They currently run a welcome offer where 0% commission is applied on all bets up to a specified date.
