hi xMarcel, thanks for comments! 1) The main thing is the ability to make deposits/withdrawals via USDT TRC-20 and bet in USDT directly. Many players don't like having their balances in volatile Bitcoin which price goes up and down every day/month. Why on Binance and Kraken almost all cryptos are trading against USDT? Because people want to cover their trading results and have balances in something stable. Also Betfair offer betting in multiple STABLE fiat currencies. The betting option in multiple cryptocurrencies will attract more players. But if we stuck to just 1 currency, then it definitely should be stable USDT, not volatile BTC. Also USDT TRC-20 transfer costs around 1$ regardless of the amount. Compare it to BTC transactions...
We agree. We will be moving Exbet over to use Euro as the base betting currency in the second half of 2022. As you say, people want to bet in stable currencies, and we have listened to this feedback. 2) The liquidity issue. All independent betting exchanges (not white-labels under Betfair's umbrella) have this problem. Low figures of matched volume also affect and discourage people from betting/trading on Exbet because players understand that after in-play bet will be placed then marketmakers might just remove their offers thus they will unable to cover their positions or cover on much bigger spreads.
As you say, liquidity is built across a number of metrics - price spread, volumes available, volumes matched. As another poster wrote, we think that Exbet is VERY competitive on the first two metrics (price spread, volumes available) when comparing with most other exchanges, Betfair being an exception sometimes, of course. On the third metric, we need to see matched amounts increasing on Exbet. We believe that we will start to see this in the second half of 2022, as we move to Euro support, and as we continue to improve the product and offering.

You are very much correct, liquidity is trickling into live markets. It has been a long cooperation between Exbet and market makers, truly our #1 prio for the past 6-9 months and we are very proud to see this coming together. In-play betting is a *MUST HAVE* for any exchange. Users will soon be able to bet in-play on the vast majority of events offered in Exbet, including of course Soccer  This is great news. I got used to placing prematch odds in your exchange even though there were liquidity issues in the markets that I bet on, but it's good to see in-play markets opening up with decent liquidities. Fairlay has always been my go-to exchange for in-play betting markets and it's good to see Exbet competing with them in this area. The one area where Exbet is far superior when compared to Fairlay is the Betfair style UI which is way easier to navigate in my opinion. Excited to see where your site goes from here. Cheers Haunebu, great to hear from you! We have some big advancements planned on the UI side in the coming months, we actually think that the Betfair UI needs a bit of a facelift, it's looked the same for 15 years  It's 2022 now, need to get with the times  We're hoping to see in-play cricket liquidity grow ahead to a good size in the run-up to IPL 2022 as it expands to ten teams. Love that tournament!

hey mirq20, we love your persistence on Tennis  We wanted to get in-play seeding in a good place before bringing Tennis on-board. We have had tennis running nicely on testnet internally, but not quite ready to take to production yet. Will update you all as and when.

hello exbet do my eyes deceive me or is there some money in exbet in-play markets, its about time lol, seeing it in cricket big bash and also a bit of basketball?  ? when soccer Hello arco! We appreciate your curious eyes and smart questions, as usual  You are very much correct, liquidity is trickling into live markets. It has been a long cooperation between Exbet and market makers, truly our #1 prio for the past 6-9 months and we are very proud to see this coming together. In-play betting is a *MUST HAVE* for any exchange. Users will soon be able to bet in-play on the vast majority of events offered in Exbet, including of course Soccer  Thanks for your support arco. We've been heads down these past couple of months, but it makes it all worthwhile to get acknowledgment from our users on the progress they see.
Really well built site. Good work! And the logo was a good choice. Any update regarding your affiliate program? By the time it goes live, we may have to edit our review entirely.  An affiliate program I would also find nice... But I think that should surely come soon some updates. Thanks SiNeReiNZzz, means a lot to us  Affiliate program is something we have finally been able to turn our attention to after months of postponement (sorry efialtis!). Looking forward to having some concrete news on that in the next Exbet newsletter in January, which we will post a link to here. yes, the site is beautiful and functional. I only notice that there are quite a lot of countries that cannot register, but that will have to do with the law and regulations of the license. The site has been online for a while now, I am curious about the liquidity, it is not easy to compete against large and well-known exchanges.
Thanks VanityWallets2015 Come and take a look at the liquidity, we think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Prices and volumes are very strong in the bigger leagues in particular (Cricket, NBA, NFL, Premier League/La Liga).

hi exbet Admin
Are there any plans to extend the live offer?
Maybe to reach the offer of betfair in future?
Would be great i think to be competetive
hello EKoston Yes, absolutely. It's prio #1 for us to bring liquidity to in-play markets. It has taken us longer than we planned, but we hope to see good progress there before end of this year. Thanks for your comment! Regards The Exbet Team

Exbet is back online.
We have resolved the issue caused by a third party data provider. We are currently implementing fallback systems that will in future allow us to handle similar incidents with minimal impact for our users.
Thanks to everyone for your patience.

What is going on Exbet.io??? The site has been down since the afternoon! I've been waiting the whole week to bet on the weekend matches then the whole site crashes for the whole day without any notifications or anything! at least send the members an email to keep them updated! this is totally inacceptable!
yeh site showing this msg "Exbet is currently down for maintenance" for us also, update on twitter, not ideal timing at weekend Hi ziadmar and arco-yabamba Thank you both for posting here. Since yesterday, we are experiencing issues caused by one of our data feed suppliers. We have now identified what the issues is, and how it was caused, and we expect it to be resolved by tomorrow (Monday) at the latest. User funds are in now way affected by this issue. Matched bets will be honoured. We are very sorry to all Exbet customers that they have not been able to use Exbet for the past 24+ hours. We have posted Exbet status updates on Twitter.

When is tennis coming?
From Tennis, you mean Tennis markets? Last time I checked the site and there were some markets of tennis game I witnessed. Now they removed? Or maybe there are no tennis games going at the moment? Moreover it would be easier to send them any feedback or suggestions through their in site support system, as like that they will address your issue faster. Moreover waiting for more awesome updates from the site. try77, Tennis coming soon, give us a month or two  Thanks for your kind words of support LimLims

By any chance, are you planning to add other payment options other than bitcoin? Maybe at least one or two additional currencies like TRX or LTC with very cheap fees. And that may attract some small time players here. Been a while that you only accept btc, though the name of your site itself says that it is exclusively for bitcoin.
Hey TimeTeller Yes, we have some big changes to currency and payment options planned for second half of 2021. Agree that users want support for multiple coins, plus the ability to choose low fee networks. Here at Exbet we love Bitcoin but we are not maxis, and we hope to provide currency options that suit everybody. More news when we have it 
Would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate India on an incredible fifth day Test win against England today. Amazing cricket match, hard to beat the drama on a day like this. Along with West Indies 1 wicket win against Pakistan at the weekend, it has been a magical few days for Cricket's classic format. And we're very happy to see Cricket liquidity and traded volumes growing on Exbet  Thanks everyone for your support! The Exbet Team

Good to see you are still active on the forum. I've seen that you have to fully verify your own to qualify for certain bonuses, and I think that's something that keeps a lot of people from getting into that. Can something be done about that?
hey codegnome! That's not correct.. not sure where you heard that? Plus, right now we are not running any bonuses - we think Exbet's basic 1% commission is an amazing deal without needing any bonuses  Maybe in future we will introduce bonuses - in that case we plan to make them available to users as widely as possible.

Hey people! Euro 2020 - surely one of the very best international football tournaments in terms of entertainment and drama. France v Switzerland was a particular favorite here in Exbet Towers, but so many great matches and goals to choose from. On Exbet, we've seen traded volumes climb throughout the tournament - thank you to everyone for choosing Exbet as the place to come to for your sports betting. Sign-ups surged at the start of the tournament and we see matched bets and liquidity building another step again for tonight's final. And what a final we have. "Football's coming home" (England) versus one of the true historical superpowers of world football (Italy), and the market can hardly split them. Looks like the weight of home money and perhaps the Wembley crowd is tilting odds slightly in favor of England, but surely this is too tight to call. Check out the markets and odds at exbet.io and enjoy the final! Regards The Exbet Team

v nice exbet, weve seen more money in the euro markets and made a few quid... lost afew quid more tho lol.. seen bits and pieces in running also but you need to start growing that sharpish, well jump on board once we see movement there gl
Thanks for feedback arco-yabamba! you're right, in-play liquidity has seen a nice little spike during Euro2020, but we are working hard with market maker partners to bring significant amounts to in-play markets. This is our #1 priority just now - the in-play offering is crucial to Exbet's success. Watch this space! Regards
