How It Works FAQs
Are you an exchange or an online bookmaker?
Well, according to our Gambling Commission licence we are an exchange. We are certainly not a bookmaker in the way bet365, Paddy Power and Ladbrokes are because we do not set our own odds. Instead we display odds available at some familiar online bookies and allow Pros to choose the price they want.
That said, there are many differences between BetConnect and the first online betting exchange, Betfair. If you are familiar with Betfair you will quickly find BetConnect works very differently.
Essentially we are a trading place: people who want to BACK horses, football teams or whatever to win are matched with people who want LAY them (and act as their bookmaker).
I want to be a Punter and a Pro. Can I do this?
100% yes! Simply ensure you register with a separate email address and username for each account. All other details (name, address etc) can be identical.
If I want to lay bets why wouldn’t I use a traditional exchange?
There are major advantages to laying at BetConnect.
1. You have five minutes after unlocking a Bet Request to decide whether and how much to lay. In that time, the price won't move giving you ample time to back the selection elsewhere for matched betting opportunities.
2. You always lay bets at 0% commission and at bookies' prices which are usually preferential for a layer compared to typical exchange prices.
3. You get to see statistics demonstrating the Pro's long-term performance as a bettor. This will help you assess whether to back the selection elsewhere in addition to laying him.
Why can’t a Pro just use a bookie to get a bet on?
The stark truth is that people who return regular profits by betting on horses are not wanted by the bookies. They start having problems getting certain bets on with them and can have their accounts closed down altogether.
At BetConnect, we charge Pros a maximum of 2% commission to facilitate their bets. We help them "get on" by dividing their bet into lots of little bets for the Punters to lay. And we never restrict Pros.
