    Default Matchbook alternative

    hi, I'm a resident of the United States and was shut out of matchbook earlier this year. the site was great & not having it is costing me money. does anyone know of a similar website that's reliable and accepts US residents?

    Thanks for any input

    I think BetMaker is your only option but it appears to be rather a poor man's version of the Matchbook you knew

    haven't done any soccer betting at MB .. doubt they would be up to Betfair, Pinnacle, SBO and 188, esp. for AH

    I have found them to be quite competitive on occasions for tennis and they remain super competitive on all the US pro sports. But as they no longer cater to US customers they don't bother with college sports as few punters in the rest of the world have any interest in it.

    in regards to Betmaker, their customer service is horrendous! I have sent several emails and they have not responded. It's been over 4 days! Their live-chat is bogus. Not a good sign when you can't get a hold of anyone...

    I've been with betmaker for about 3 months. After missing matchbook so much, I was happy to find another exchange. I wish it was busier than it is, but overall it has what i've been looking for since losing matchbook. I like it a lot for my betting strategies.

    While I've never had a reason to email them, I've found chat to be quite helpful and responsive. I haven't had any serious or complicated problems, so I can't judge their response to a "crisis".

    I was able to fund my acct with no fee at either end with a transfer from DSI. From what I've read here, the cost of deposits and withdraws is high. I think they might get more people to try them if they lowered those costs.

    I have found they don't always answer my emails myself, however I have found it is best to call them with any questions and they have been very friendly and helpful.

    It sucks having to pay outrageous fees to get your money. It's a rip off. I could understand if they charged maybe $5, which is still alot but $80 to get $300 out is crazy which is what some places charge.
