Arbitrage bettors
BLACK and the Sportmarket Betting Platform put an Arb Calculator in the betslip, BetInAsia also publishes arbitrage and Asian handicap calculators, and MadMarket welcomes arbitrage seekers.
The Best Bet Brokers for Asian Bookmakers and Exchanges
Four brokers in a fixed order, each with a label for what it does best.
The four brokers
The best bet brokers are BetInAsia, best for BLACK trading, Sharp Exchange and PS3838 from one portal; AsianConnect, best for PS3838 and Asianodds88 on one unified wallet; MadMarket, best for value and arbitrage bettors on Edge, Probet42 and Sharp Exchange; and Sportmarket, best for a free-to-use broker service and Direct Bookmaker Accounts.
All four give you one account for several Asian bookmakers and betting exchanges, and all four state that winning players are welcome. We list them in a fixed order that carries no score. Below you will find how we compare them, a section on each broker, the register of betting sites each one opens and a guide to choosing by profile.
Best bet brokers at a glance
Four brokers earn a place on this page: BetInAsia, AsianConnect, MadMarket and Sportmarket. They share one stated policy (winners are welcome) and differ in almost everything else. The table sets them side by side, and the sections after it take them one at a time.

How we compare bet brokers
Every broker below is read against the same six criteria, in the same order, so that one section can be set against another. Where a broker's own material is silent on a criterion, we stay silent too.
- Betting sites and tools. The bookmakers and exchanges the access register lists for the broker, and the tool that reaches each one.
- Platforms. What you bet on once you are in.
- Deposits and withdrawals. Methods, minimums, rollover and verification.
- Countries. The residents the broker's terms exclude.
- Account opening. What the sign-up asks for.
- Support. The channels the broker lists.
Sources are the brokers' own terms, help centres and product pages, plus the access register. The order carries no score: it is the order we use on every page of Bet Regent. What separates the four is the label each one earns. For the basics, read what a bet broker is and how it works.
What a "best for" label means
A label names the profile where a broker's published features fit best. It is never a rating, and no single broker wins every category.
BetInAsia: best for BLACK trading, Sharp Exchange and PS3838 from one portal
Start here if you want a trading platform and an exchange under one login. Everything else about BetInAsia follows from that.
Bookmakers and exchanges
The register lists 15 betting sites at BetInAsia. Bookmakers: 3et, BetISN, Pinnacle, Sbobet, Singbet, Turf7 and SharpBet. Exchanges: Betdaq, Betfair, Kalshi, Polymarket, Matchbook, Mollybet, Orbit Exchange and Smarkets. The tools are BLACK, Sharp Exchange and PS3838: PS3838 is the Pinnacle route, Sharp Exchange the Betfair and Orbit route, and BLACK covers the rest. The bookmakers on BLACK "will not limit or close the accounts of long-term and repeat winners", in BetInAsia's words. Maximum stakes still vary with the betting site, the match and the market.
Platforms
- BLACK is the sports trading platform, free to use and powered by Mollybet. One betslip shows odds and limits from every connected betting site, places your order at the best price and splits the stake across bookmakers when one cannot fill it. Lay bets, orders held for up to 72 hours and an Arb Calculator are built in, and the mobile version matches the desktop one.
- Sharp Exchange offers back and lay, partial and automatic cash out, Trading View and One Click Betting. The minimum stake is €10, commission applies to winning bets only, and you reach it only through a broker.
- PS3838 is a Pinnacle Sports white label on a EUR account, registered only through a broker. It has no app, the mobile version runs on iOS, Android and Windows, and two-factor authentication is mandatory.
- BIA apex is a private bookmaker service run through a messaging group on Skype, WhatsApp or Telegram, with a dedicated account manager. It was called Skype Betting before it took the apex name. Entry is a €5,000 deposit and a €1,000 minimum bet, by request.
Deposits, withdrawals and KYC
The minimum deposit is €50, by crypto, Visa or Mastercard, bank transfer or e-wallets such as Neteller, Skrill, Jetonbank, Payz, MuchBetter and MiFinity. Cards work for deposits only; withdrawals go by bank or e-wallet. The minimum withdrawal is €50, except Bitcoin at €200 and Ethereum at €100, and each deposit must be wagered once at odds of 1.50 or more first. Full KYC is required once your deposits pass €2,000 in total or you request any withdrawal: an ID document and proof of address, with an answer from the KYC team within 24 hours.
Restricted countries
BetInAsia's terms, clause 4.1.3, exclude residents of 29 listed countries and territories, and anyone accessing the site from them. France, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States are on the list. The test is residence or the country you connect from, and VPNs and proxies that mask your location are not allowed. The complete list sits on the BetInAsia restricted countries page.
Verdict
From one registration and one wallet in the BIA Portal you open a BLACK account for trading across many betting sites, a Sharp Exchange account for back and lay, a PS3838 account for the Pinnacle Sports alternative and, when your stakes justify it, a request for the BIA apex private bookmaker. Winners welcome. Serious stakes? The €50 minimum deposit was built for them. Read the BetInAsia full review.
AsianConnect: best for PS3838 and Asianodds88 on one unified wallet
Do you want a PS3838 account, an odds aggregator and an exchange behind one wallet? Then this is your broker.
Bookmakers and exchanges
The register lists 7 betting sites at AsianConnect. PS3838 opens Pinnacle. Asianodds88 opens 3et, BetISN, Singbet and SharpBet. On the exchange side OrbitX opens Betfair and Orbit Exchange, and PIWI247 opens Betfair as well. AsianConnect states that winners are welcome, and its platform cards rate the maximum bet as Very High or High.
Platforms
- PS3838 is managed straight from your AsianConnect account, and its platform card lists the maximum bet as Very High.
- Asianodds88 is an aggregator. It compares real-time odds from top bookmakers and lets you place bets through your existing bookmaker accounts, on the web, by API or on mobile.
- PIWI247 puts a sportsbook powered by AP Gaming, the PIWIX exchange and a casino powered by Evolution on one platform. Minimum stakes are €3 on sport, €4 on the exchange and €0.10 on casino, and you open it with a €10 deposit through AsianConnect.
- OrbitX is a back and lay exchange powered by Betfair, in several languages, with football, tennis, cricket, horse racing, American football and basketball.
You run all of it from AMS, the AsianConnect member system, with one unified wallet: fund once and bet across platforms without moving the money.
Deposits and withdrawals
AsianConnect's deposit table lists Bitcoin, USDT on TRC20 and ERC20, USDC, Skrill and Neteller. Skrill and Neteller start at €10 and are instant; Bitcoin starts at the equivalent of €10 and USDT at 10 USDT, while USDC starts at 20. AsianConnect charges no fees on deposits or withdrawals, and networks, e-wallets and converters set their own charges. Withdrawals return by the method you deposited with, after a single rollover at odds above 1.5. KYC is not automatic: it comes when an operator, a large withdrawal or unusual activity calls for it, takes an ID document, proof of address and a selfie, and once approved covers the other operator platforms.
Opening an account
Registration is free. The form asks for your email, full name, date of birth, contact number, country and currency, and which platform you want first. Support is available 24/7 by live chat and email, and premium clients get a personal account manager.
Verdict
Pick PS3838 and Asianodds88 on one unified wallet. Short and simple. The strength of the setup is that the wallet is shared across the four platforms, so a PS3838 account for the Pinnacle route, an aggregator for comparing prices and an exchange for lay betting all draw on the same balance without a single transfer between betting sites. Read the AsianConnect full review.
MadMarket: best for value and arbitrage bettors on Edge, Probet42 and Sharp Exchange
Three products, one login, stakes from €1 on Edge. MadMarket (madmarket.io) is a sports betting brokerage, and its audience is spelled out in its own slogan: value, arbitrage and matched betting.
Bookmakers and exchanges
The register lists 14 betting sites at MadMarket. Bookmakers: 3et, Pinnacle, Sbobet, Singbet, Turf7 and SharpBet. Exchanges: Betdaq, Betfair, Kalshi, Polymarket, Matchbook, Mollybet, Orbit Exchange and Smarkets. Edge opens the bulk of them. Probet42 is the route to the Pinnacle row, and Sharp Exchange the route to Orbit Exchange and Betfair, which is on Edge as well.
Platforms
- Edge is the Mollybet-powered trading platform: combined liquidity on one stake, Classic and Exchange views for back and lay, Timeout orders held for up to 72 hours, cash out, partial cash out, Smart Credit and a mobile version. The maximum stake depends on the betting site, the match, the market and the odds. "Edge won't close winning accounts or restrict players."
- Probet42 is the Pinnacle alternative, with over 30 sports, thousands of markets including Asian handicap, parlays of 2 to 10 selections, dynamic limits and re-bet. It has no cash out, which is how it keeps the vig low, and it runs in the browser on desktop and mobile.
- Sharp Exchange offers back and lay, in-play betting, partial and automatic cash out and two-factor authentication across 20+ sports, from a €10 minimum stake.
Funds move between the three products instantly, with no transfer fees.
Deposits and KYC
The minimum deposit is €50 on every method: cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin and Tether, Visa, Mastercard, Jeton Bank and MiFinity, with cards and e-wallets depending on your country of residence. A KYC request is triggered by your first withdrawal, and the KYC policy sets full verification once lifetime deposits pass €2,000. You upload an ID document and proof of address under three months old, as PDF, PNG or JPEG up to 5 MB. One KYC covers every product.
Restricted countries
MadMarket's terms, clause 4.1.3, list the countries whose residents it does not serve, among them Australia, Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. The test is residence or the country you connect from, and VPNs and proxies that mask your location are not allowed.
Verdict
Choose MadMarket if you bet on value or arbitrage and want Edge's trading tools with Probet42 and Sharp Exchange on the side. Read the MadMarket full review.
Sportmarket: best for a free-to-use broker service and Direct Bookmaker Accounts
Free to use. That is the headline, and the betting sites pay Sportmarket (a small commission on turnover), not you.
Bookmakers and exchanges
The register lists 12 betting sites at Sportmarket. Bookmakers: 3et, Pinnacle, Sbobet, Singbet and SharpBet. Exchanges: Betdaq, Betfair, Polymarket, Matchbook, Mollybet, Orbit Exchange and Smarkets. Pinnacle comes through PS3838, Betfair and Orbit Exchange through FairExchange, and Singbet is on request.
Platforms
- The Sportmarket Betting Platform puts prices from many betting sites on one betslip, with a Sportsbook view and a Trade view, lay bets, Future Fulfilment, up to 72 hours on football, Smart Credit on football full-time and half-time markets, cashout on selected events and an Arb Calculator. It is a web app, with no native mobile app.
- Direct Bookmaker Accounts are dedicated accounts used in the bookmaker's own interface and funded through your Main Account: PS3838, which Sportmarket labels "Powered by Pinnacle", FairExchange, Tradeball and Singbet on request. PS3838 needs at least €100 available in your Sportmarket account. FairExchange is the peer-to-peer exchange, with a €5 minimum stake, two-factor authentication and 3% commission on winning bets. Tradeball is a customisable football betting bot.
Deposits
The minimum deposit is €10 on every method: SEPA, SEPA Instant and SWIFT bank transfer, Visa and Mastercard, Neteller, Skrill, MuchBetter and crypto: Bitcoin, USDT on TRC20 and ERC20, and USDC on ERC20. Accounts run in euros. Sportmarket charges no fee on card, bank transfer or crypto deposits, and SEPA Instant is credited instantly up to €5,000. Verification is automatic from the Verification tab and most checks finish within a few minutes. Bank details and crypto deposits open after full verification.
Restricted countries
Sportmarket's terms, clause 3.7, exclude residents of the United States, the United Kingdom and France.
Verdict
Pick Sportmarket when you want a free-to-use broker with a real choice between a shared platform and dedicated bookmaker accounts. Funds in the Main Account and the Betting Account are held in segregated client accounts, protected under Isle of Man gambling law; Direct Bookmaker Accounts and accounts that use a credit facility are the stated exceptions. Sportmarket Services Limited sits in Douglas, on the Isle of Man, and the brand dates from 2004. Read the Sportmarket full review.

Which bet broker is best for you?
Value bettors
MadMarket names value bettors as its audience, and BetInAsia states that arbitrage and value bettors are not limited for their success.
Pinnacle first
PS3838 sits at BetInAsia, AsianConnect and Sportmarket, and Probet42 at MadMarket.
Exchange first
Sharp Exchange at BetInAsia and MadMarket, OrbitX and PIWI247 at AsianConnect, FairExchange at Sportmarket.
High stakes
BIA apex starts at a €1,000 bet after a €5,000 deposit, and AsianConnect gives premium clients a personal account manager.
Limited elsewhere
All four state that winners are welcome. Start with betting sites with no limits if a soft bookmaker has already cut your stake.
Bet brokers vs bookmakers
A bookmaker takes your bet and prices it. A broker never does: it opens the door to Asian bookmakers and exchanges and leaves the pricing and the settlement to them. That is why these brokers lead with a different promise: winners are welcome, and the maximum stake is set by the betting site and the market. Choose the broker by the betting sites it opens, then read its terms.
Best bet brokers FAQ
Which sports bet broker is the best?
It depends on the profile, so each of the four carries a label: BetInAsia is best for BLACK trading, Sharp Exchange and PS3838 from one portal, AsianConnect for PS3838 and Asianodds88 on one unified wallet, MadMarket for value and arbitrage bettors on Edge, Probet42 and Sharp Exchange and Sportmarket for a free-to-use broker service and Direct Bookmaker Accounts. The order we list them in is fixed and is not a score.
What is the best bet broker for Pinnacle?
On the Pinnacle row the register lists PS3838 at BetInAsia, AsianConnect and Sportmarket, and Probet42 at MadMarket. AsianConnect is best for PS3838 and Asianodds88 on one unified wallet, and BetInAsia gives you PS3838 beside BLACK and Sharp Exchange in one portal.
Do bet brokers charge commission?
BetInAsia, MadMarket and Sportmarket describe their income as a commission from the betting sites, based on customer turnover. BLACK adds no commission to bets placed with bookmakers and Sharp Exchange charges commission on winning bets only. Sportmarket's broker service is free to use, and its FairExchange charges 3% on winning bets.
Is a bet broker better than a mainstream bookmaker?
They do different jobs. A bookmaker sets its own odds, settles the bet and decides what you can stake. A broker gives you one account with access to several Asian bookmakers and exchanges, and the betting site you bet with settles the bet.
What is the minimum deposit at a betting broker?
It is €50 at BetInAsia and MadMarket and €10 at Sportmarket. AsianConnect starts at €10 with Skrill, Neteller, Bitcoin or USDT.
Are betting brokers licensed?
Each of the four operates under a gaming licence. BetInAsia is licensed by the Curaçao Gaming Control Board, Sportmarket by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission, MadMarket by the Government of Anjouan and AsianConnect under Curaçao eGaming.
How many bookmakers and exchanges does each broker open?
In the access register BetInAsia opens 7 bookmakers and 8 exchanges, AsianConnect 5 and 2, MadMarket 6 and 8, and Sportmarket 5 and 7.
