Named desks, not types
Exchanges We Cover
Real operators, reviewed as of September 2026. We describe how the room works, what the operator publishes about commission, and who the desk is actually for. Their screen and fee table win. We do not take a cut and we do not ask you to open an account.
Classic UK and European exchanges
Back-and-lay matching rooms. Deepest book first. US readers: these desks typically will not take you.
Betfair Exchange
Live
The deep book
The deepest consumer matching room. Flutter’s desk. Typically closed to US residents.
Typically not available to US residents
Smarkets
Live
The other UK ladder
UK/EU ladder with a published 2% default cut. The US story is a sportsbook and a 2026 filing — not this exchange.
UK/EU exchange; US story is a different product
Matchbook
Live
The quieter professional book
A thinner professional book. Net-win commission. Typically not a US desk.
Typically not available to US residents
US exchange-style sports venues
Peer-to-peer or order-book sports products with a public page we can point at. One of them has already closed.
ProphetX
Live
US sports, peer-to-peer
CFTC sports prediction exchange. US-facing. The operator’s own lobby says it is not in Nevada.
US-facing; operator says it is not in Nevada
Novig
Live
Make the price, or take it
US peer-to-peer sports contracts. Make a price or take one. Their help centre, not our card, is the state map.
US-facing; help centre excludes some states
Sporttrade
Closed
A US exchange that already left
Was a real US order-book sports venue.
No longer taking wagers
6 named rooms. If a brand is not here, we could not point at a live product page we trusted — or it is not an exchange. We would rather leave a chair empty than invent a desk.
