Although the Betfair Exchange has the most countries available for bettors and traders, there are several other betting exchanges in operation. These other betting exchanges tend to have lower commission, in some cases even 0% commission.
As per the articles title we’ll follow with a section for each betting exchange, and a list of accepted countries available for subscribers. The betting exchanges we’ll cover are Smarkets, Matchbook and BETDAQ.
