Sportmarket — Sports Betting Brokerage | Crypto Deposits | KYC Required

[MuffinMaster]

Ok but this gap in odds is NOT insignificant for value bettors and sharps.Given how on bigger odds the gap will be bigger (for example 2.3 instead of 2.35) is something to be taken into account for any kind of bettor when he can literally deposit anonymously and polymarket and bet this higher odd.

That's true, but an aggregator is there to make people's lives easier, so they don't have to browse through sportsbooks and make deposits on each site individually. It's also useful for lazy people like me
For high rollers, it'll probably be different, but for someone who bets on national team matches occasionally, such tools are very useful, and I think these are the customers that are Sportmarket's main target.

Looks like I made a mistake here. The cut on Polymarket is lower than 0.4% generally which is what op mentioned and it isn't as drastic as I thought it was. Odds provided by some other exchanges etc on their pro platform are generally higher than Polymarket odds.

Waiting now for some sort of parlay tool meant to group lay odds together(Not back odds) just like what some betting exchanges provide.

Zero deposit and free entry is obviously a great combo when it comes to any promotion, but the 5x turnover is a bit too much in my opinion. Something like x3 would be ideal since x5 is possible for sure, but reduces the appeal of this promotion.

Also, the cashback percentage is way too low and not really appealing for that specific promotion.

I have read a great many deal of good reviews about this broker and decided to register an account a few months ago without using it until today.
This afternoon , I wanted to get some action in on England vs Argentina and given how I didn't have any access to Kalshi or Polymarket , I thought I would use their services since they did promote that they added prediction markets on their platform with the other bookmakers that they offer.
To my great disappointment , I realized that the odds that they offer, as you have pointed out on another comment were really disasterous.
On every outcome  of the match ,their odds were extremely lower than what Polymarket was offering and also despite advertising that they have added Kalshi , there are no markets of that site on any event so I guess they havent really added it.

Not that it would matter if you claim to offer prediction markets odds and you cut 1.85 odds from the official site , into 1.81 and 2.95 odds from the original 3.07. These are massive differences sadly and I will not be giving them any action.

Thankfully I managed to get in on the match , as I wanted on the best odds in Polymarket later on ,through a friend of mine who had access to it.

I am not sure as to who would be willing to bet on significantly lower odds when they can find the sharpest odds on the main/original sites. The differences are not small either to simply ignore it.

On 1000bets these differences may be whats killing you from breaking even or even having a little bit of profit (of course other parameters have an impact on this also).

I am hoping for them to fix this because these commissions are ridiculous!

Appreciate the honest feedback.

On Kalshi, you are right that it is not showing at the moment. It is temporarily unavailable and we are waiting on our software provider for an update to bring it back.

On the odds, we have said before that there is a slight increase on the prediction market prices, that part is fair. But the differences you are describing are much larger than anything we see, and if the gap was really that size our users would be telling us, or simply not using Polymarket through us at all. A gap that big usually comes down to something specific, most likely timing, since those odds move a lot between snapshots, and the size of the order, since the price on the front of a Polymarket bet is only for small stakes and a real bet fills at a worse average.

If you send an exact selection and rough time you looked, I am happy to pull both prices at the same moment and see what the real difference is.

I stumbled on your thread today, but first, I found these two contrasting things, though this is not to judge you or your service: "Crypto Deposits" and "KYC Required." Don't you think these are two contrasting services? I further tried to check through your website to ensure if crypto is just a minimal option as part of many deposit options, but I was required to first create an account, which I'm not willing to.

Though your immediate sincerity is highly appreciated, but it looks off to see casinos, or any businesses, for that matter, offering crypto payments, and still generally require KYC.

I am sending a screenshot of your offer on today's World Cup final , on which you offer to your clients 2.33 best odds instead of 2.4 which exists on the official platform from which you are supposedly take the odds from.
This slippage is far from small or insignificant for bettors with big bankrolls and I see no reason for someone to be staking thousands of euros on 2.33 or 2.307 when they can take 2.4 or 2.38.
I understand that as a broker you need to take also make some money from this offer but this slippage is too much in my opinion.

Can you please reveal here what % of the odds taken from the official provider you cut in order to make profit and how much lower odds do the bettors on your platforms are staking on than the original odds?

Ran a same moment test on a live match so you can see it directly, Droguet vs Carabelli, both screens taken at the same time.





On Polymarket a 1000 buy on Droguet fills at an average of 49c, which is 2.03 in decimal. The 2.08 on the front of the button is only the touch for small size. Our best price for the same market at the same moment was 2.024. So on a real stake the cut there is about a quarter of a percent.

That is the honest answer to your question. On a like for like it is a fraction of a percent, not the kind of gap you are describing. If you see a bigger gap on a specific market, send me the exact selection and time and I will pull both prices at the same moment like this.

I thought the exact same thing initially and realized later that the odds difference is actually extremely small. Polymarket and similar platforms confuse customers by showing high odds with relatively low liquidities basically as op pointed out.

If you try placing bets at higher liquidities, the odds decrease quite a bit and match what is shown on sportmarket basically with an extremely small difference.

[CoffeeSipper64]

Thank you for your replies.

Especially from SportMarket which included an example so I understand the situation a bit better now.
As long as these "commissions" are small I don't mind them at all , but to my eyes they seemed quite big.

Thank you for clarifying the misunderstanding on my part.

Will be depositing and giving it a go!

Even though I have already spoken with a customer service representative via live chat, I am writing this in the hope that I might reach a Sportmarket manager here.
I have to ask about this important matter that is weighing on my mind—something I haven't been able to come to terms with.

There is a serious anomaly regarding my last two withdrawal transactions. I use the USDC currency for both deposits and withdrawals.

For withdrawals of 5,000 EUR (equivalent to 5,712 USD) and 4,335 EUR (equivalent to 4,952 USD), the amounts that actually reached my account were 5,639 USD and 4,889 USD, respectively.

*5,000 EUR (equivalent to 5,712 USD) - sent to my wallet 5,639 USD
*4,335 EUR (equivalent to 4,952 USD) - sent to my wallet 4,889 USD

The differences are 73 USD and 63 USD; in each case, I received 1.3% less than the expected amount. The customer service representative claims that the cryptocurrency provider deducts a 0.5% fee. While I do not necessarily accept this as a justified deduction, where is the remaining 0.8% difference? This is a very significant discrepancy—almost a full 1%.

*Do we need to examine the cryptocurrency provider's exchange rate conversion receipts for these last two withdrawals?

*I am attaching links to screenshots below showing the amounts I withdrew from my Sportmarket account and the amount that arrived in my wallet. Could you provide me with detailed information about this? Isn't this discrepancy quite large?

Thank you all in advance

I have to admit, these differences are extremely large. The highest fees I've seen, and even at very shady exchanges, are $20 for withdrawals. Charging 0.5% is a bit strange, something I've only ever seen with cryptocurrency withdrawals directly in cash from ATMs.
 
The only thing I can think of is withdrawals of USDT or other stablecoins on the Ethereum blockchain during some extreme network stress. But even then, I haven't seen fees this high in a long time.

I'm very curious where these large differences come from.

We cannot go into the details of the account and transactions on a public thread, for your privacy as much as ours. It's not a brush-off, any account specifics just do not belong on a forum.

I have escalated the case to our support team directly. Please email support@sportmarket.com and they will go through the case and withdrawals with you and come back with a full breakdown. We hope it will have a positive outcome and that we can both share the results here once we know more.

[srobit3]

Thank you very much, I have sent the email. Of course, I will share the result, as you mentioned.

[Agbe]

Appreciate the honest feedback.

Forum has the greatest interactive way to correct and guide. Today I decided to visit your thread again to see what is going on and I am impressed of the inflow of interaction here. But I thought by now you have upgraded your Op of the announcement thread but things are remained the same with the bogus text only and people were expecting to see some great designs like other announcement thread. This is just a friendly reminder on that beautification of the Op. I wanted to use your op as a reference but seen that it is the same. I have to leave.

UPDATE:


They are doing a fantastic job.

The 100-euro difference resulting from the discrepancy was deposited into my account, and they also guaranteed that it wouldn't happen again.

I had decided to use this broker after extensive research, and I now realize even more clearly that I made the right choice. It is not just about the resolution of this recent issue; overall, it is a platform that inspires a great deal of confidence.

My suspicions were right, and what you said was true. But the problem has been completely resolved. They gave a guarantee that it wouldn't happen again.

I've had a great experience with Sportmarket so far. I claimed the welcome bonus, completed the wagering requirements without any issues, and everything worked exactly as expected. The platform has been reliable and smooth to use.

One feature I would really like to see implemented is Betby Booking. It would make the betting experience even better.

Keep up the good work!
