As its free its about 2 years behind Betfairs one, and missing a lot of features.  The main ones being when you update a bet it shows at the old odds, you cant refresh markets, you have to close down the whole application to refresh the markets.

Shame because Betfair Geekstoy is excellent.

Matchbook now offer all UK Greyhound racing , much more correct score markets inplay and since today with a cash out funtion.

May oh may, gotta check this out. But they are not accepting ecopayz. Shame.

I think Im starting a fundraiser "help matchbook get over 50% uptime" 
They are ridiculous with those "unplanned outages" and "planned system upgrade" that had to be completed 8 hours ago.
If someone knows a matchbook guy, tell him to invest in website stability. I really want them to get better so we have a bigger choice of exchanges..

Cashout has taken their rickety site over the edge lol

MB Bot Manager V3 is now published. A nice bot.

Today Matchbook sent this message:

Anyone got a similar email?
What could be a reason for this?
They didn't state any information why did they close the account.

Most likely because you win money off their market makers. They did the same to me a few years ago. They closed my account for no valid reason and refused to reply to any email I sent asking why.

i had exactly same few years back aswell

The winnings were small (100 - 200 EUR). I didn't use the account for arbing, just for trading. Only used around 50 EUR / trade.
MB seems like a joke, not an exchange.

looks like new policies since June 2019 :

"Matchbook cannot accept new signups from individuals residing in the United States of America, Australia, Canada, France, Slovakia, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Russia, Germany or Italy. "

old registered accounts from these countries will be closed

My country is not on the restricted list.

Do anything that outsmarts their in house traders and market makers and they dont like it. 

Plus reading the tennis voided bets thread on SBR recently its obvious that Matchbook is to be avoided really, not that Betfair is any better lol

Matchbook closed my account today because i am resident of germany.
