United States of America
Residents of the United States of America cannot register for a Sportmarket account.
Which Countries Are Restricted from Using Sportmarket?
Three countries are restricted from using Sportmarket: the United States, the United Kingdom and France.
Sportmarket restricted countries: clause 3.7 of the Sportmarket Terms and Conditions names the United States of America, the United Kingdom and France, and residents of those three countries cannot register for an account. Residence is the test. Product access (PS3838, Singbet, FairExchange) comes down to access steps, set out below.
The four brokers
Which countries are restricted from using Sportmarket?
The broker's terms settle the question in clause 3.7: if you live in one of three countries, you cannot register for a Sportmarket account.
United Kingdom
Residents of the United Kingdom cannot register for a Sportmarket account.
France
Residents of France cannot register for a Sportmarket account.
We will always prefer a rule printed in the terms to a soft bookmaker quietly cutting a winner's stake: you can read the first before you deposit, and you meet the second only after it has happened.

Residence and location in the Sportmarket terms
Where you live decides it. The clause says "if you live in", so the test is your country of residence and never the passport in your pocket.
Location is a second, separate condition. Under clause 3.1 you confirm that you are not prohibited from using or accessing the Services in the country where you currently are, and you cannot use them where that use would be illegal in the jurisdiction you are located in. Clause 3.7 is about where you live; clause 3.1 is about where you are.
Where you live
Clause 3.7 turns on residence, with the United States of America, the United Kingdom and France named.
Where you are located
Clause 3.1 covers the country you are in when you use the Services.
Your address on file
Verification asks for a proof of address under three months old, and its residential address must match your account.
Product access: PS3838, Singbet and FairExchange
Registration is one gate; the products are another. Three of them ask for a step after you register, and each step is a condition of access, set out in the second table. We think a short list of steps is a fair price for the Pinnacle route through PS3838.

Payment methods and your location
Payments carry location rules of their own, and the Help Center spells them out without naming a country.
- Card, Skrill, Neteller and MuchBetter: the deposit pages say "Some countries may not be supported."
- Cryptocurrency: available once your account is fully verified, one cryptocurrency at a time, and the Help Center says it "may not be available in all regions".
- Bank transfer through an electronic money institution (EMI): the Help Center says many EMIs support international customers, subject to eligibility.
- A method missing from your dashboard: your account needs verification or re-verification, or the method is not supported for your country.
Verify early. Bank-transfer details and crypto deposits appear only once your account is verified.
How to register at Sportmarket
New to brokers? Start with what a bet broker is and how it works. Registration then takes four steps.
- Press the JOIN NOW button on the Sportmarket homepage and create your account.
- Verify your account in the Verification tab of your dashboard. KYC (know your customer) asks for an official ID (passport, national identity card or driving licence), a proof of address under three months old and a selfie check.

- Transfer funds to your Betting Account, which you open through the Betting Platform and bet from.
Restricted in your country? Sportmarket alternatives
Each of the other three intermediaries in our fixed order publishes a list of its own: BetInAsia, AsianConnect and MadMarket. The table sets the three countries against all four, and it measures one thing only: Named means a country is on a broker's list, Not named means it is not.
Which restricted-country lists name your country: BetInAsia, AsianConnect, MadMarket, Sportmarket
| Country | BetInAsia | AsianConnect | MadMarket | Sportmarket |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | Named | Not named | Named | Named |
| United States | Named | Named | Named | Named |
| France | Named | Not named | Named | Named |
Named means the country is on the broker's own list of restricted countries; Not named means it is not. Sources: BetInAsia: clause 4.1.3 of its terms; AsianConnect: the restricted-country article in its help centre; MadMarket: clause 4.1.3 of its terms.
For Sportmarket the source is clause 3.7 of its terms.
We would rather you read the four lists side by side before you deposit anywhere. Our bet brokers page lists the brokers that accept your country, and the full BetInAsia list is on BetInAsia restricted countries.

Sportmarket restricted countries FAQ
Is Sportmarket available in the UK, the USA or France?
No. Residents of the United Kingdom, the United States of America and France cannot register: clause 3.7 of the Sportmarket Terms and Conditions names all three.
Does Sportmarket restrict by residence or by nationality?
By residence. Clause 3.7 says "if you live in" the countries it names, and nationality is not part of the clause.
Can I use a VPN with Sportmarket?
The terms test where you live (clause 3.7) and where you are located (clause 3.1, which rules out using the Services where that use would be illegal in the jurisdiction you are located in). We do not cover ways of masking your location.
How do I get PS3838, Singbet or FairExchange on Sportmarket?
Each is a request to support after registration. PS3838 needs at least €100 available in your Sportmarket account, Singbet is off by default until support activates it, and FairExchange needs a verified account, funds on the Main Account and two-factor authentication.
Why is a payment method missing from my Sportmarket dashboard?
The Help Center gives two reasons: your account needs verification or re-verification, or the method is not supported for your country.
