We compared betting agents and brokers in all possible ways in our forum and portal. In this post we will go deeper to focus only on the Betfair white-labels these agents are offering, in an attempt to better understand them, highlight the risks, and help you understand which one of them suits your business best. In this thread we will compare the four white labels that our supported agents offer, namely: Sharp Exchange, Orbit Exchange, FairExchange, and Piwi247.


But before continuing with this comparison, allow me to repeat that brokers come with an extra layer of risk. It is not the same as betting in a shop or a betting terminal down the corner. Brokers are offering invaluable solutions and for these solutions, there is an extra layer of risk. Anyone engaging in business with them, understands and accepts this extra layer of risk.

For a number of reasons millions of bettors worldwide don’t have access to real authentic Betfair accounts. Brokers are giving a solution to this problem by providing Betfair white-label accounts. These are almost identical to the original Betfair accounts with the same odds and the same (or even bigger) liquidity, and the same over-all user experience. Even if you already have a Betfair account, you still have plenty of reasons to switch to a white label. Let me quickly mention just 2 of them. The Expert Fee and Commission rates.


Expert Fee

Betfair loves taking the cake from our mouth, even from our stomach, and that is why they implement what they call the ‘’Expert Fee’’. This is a charge applied to highly successful accounts, essentially making Betfair the real owner of our business. None of these Betfair white-labels will ask you to pay these nasty fees. No strings attached. This is one of the compelling reasons why you need a white-label.


Commission rates

Another compelling reason, is the commission rates. A typical Betfair account starts with a commission rate of 5% on winnings making Betfair a co-owner of your business in the long-run. It requires significant volumes and effort to bring these rates down to lower and more worthy levels. If you take a quick holiday, your rates will skyrocket in no time. The white-labels will offer much lower flat commission rates.


Liquidity

Liquidity is a key factor when selecting a white-label, because it goes hand in hand with reliability. Let me quickly explain.

White-labels primarily serve as intermediaries, providing bettors access to Betfair’s liquidity and markets. They usually do not engage in position taking, focusing instead on earning commission from matched bets. This model ensures neutrality and safety, as the platform’s profits depend on transaction volume rather than the outcome of bets.

However, some white-labels might choose to take a position against their clients. Position taking refers to when betting brokers or white-label act as the counter-party to a bettor’s bet, effectively "taking a position" rather than simply facilitating bets on an exchange. Instead of connecting the bet directly to the exchange's liquidity pool, they accept the risk (or part of the risk) and payout obligations for themselves. That is why you might have bigger limits from a Betfair white-label, compared to the original Betfair.


While position taking can sometimes fill liquidity gaps and provide invaluable services to the sophisticated bettor, it brings on the table significant risks. Game fixers, fund passers, odds manipulators, black/gray syndicates would love to take advantage of a bigger than normal liquidity. Thus, they represent a significant risk for the white-label (and Betfair too). A bigger risk for the white-label, is also a bigger risk for their clients that could take various forms. Your account might be under investigation, if you bet the same bets with a game fixer, or, you could be asked for a repetitive KYC and verification if something in your betting patterns do not add up. Understanding whether a white-label or broker engages in position taking is vital for ensuring trust and making more informed betting decisions. In general, while a bigger liquidity is a gift, it can also become a risk at the same time.

Sometimes, the brokers and/or the white-labels prefer to profile a player first, before offering him/her a bigger liquidity. Some other times, they offer a smaller liquidity, or a bigger commission rate, if they determine that your betting patterns are dangerous. You should take that as a medal and move forward.


Reliability

It is crystal clear by now that you need to examine 2 levels of reliability. First you need to examine the reliability of the white-label, and secondly you must examine the reliability of your broker that offers the white-label. I know it is complicated, but this is smart betting.

Obviously Orbit is the big name here with the bigger number of clients, and therefore it has the bigger number of complaints as well. Being around since 2017 it proved it can stand the test of time. The bigger liquidity could create issues as the platform could be targeted by fund passers and other illegal individuals with the consequences we previously described.

The SharpExch is a newcomer (2024) and needs time to improve as the platform refines its systems constantly. It comes with no leverage and extra liquidity adding more reliability to the product. Their commission rate scheme is simply unbeatable. Our community actively participates in the development of the product by highlighting glitches and problems. It has things to prove obviously.

Piwi247 provides a dual service as it offers Pinnacle lines as well making it a very versatile and unique option. The extra liquidity raises some concerns as previously mentioned and the test of time is not yet passed. Probably this is the white-label with the biggest extra liquidity around.

FairExchange is the smallest brother of the family with limited public information and user feedback. Obviously it has things to prove as well, but it is very rare when we hear a complaint about them. Maybe this is because of a smaller cliental basis.


Conclusion

When choosing a Betfair white-label platform, consider factors such as commission rates, platform reliability, operational stability, user feedback, longevity, and customer support, and your specific betting needs. Then consider the reliability of the agent/broker that will offer the white-label. I know it is complicated but this is the nature of this business. If you need our help to decide, feel free to contact us via pm, email or Skype, and together we will optimise the best solution for your needs. You will be surprised with what we deliver.

If you would like to dig further, we have our reviews and community discussion about Orbit, SharpExchange, and Piwi247.

Thank you for the awesome review and comparison!!
Imho should include the transaction fees for deposits and withdrawals among various payment methods offered that comes with each option.
Sure enough we can check them in each platform , however i believe it has significant value to be shown here like the rest charts
Thanks again

Fees are a subject of change very often. If we include a chart about fees we will have to amend it every now and then. Let's avoid that for now. In addition, fees are imposed by the agent, not the white-label, in most of the cases.
Thank you for the good words.

Thanks for this detailed comparison.

Do you know if any of these Betfair white-label platforms support API access? To my knowledge, Piwi247 and FairExchange do not. Of course, I know that API access is usually possible through Mollybet but here I'm asking about direct access (i.e., without having to go through the Mollybet platform).

odds manipulators

Please enlighten me. Why someone who is manipulating odds should be considered in the grey/black area? Can't figure out.

There is nothing wrong to manipulate odds in the classic way we all understand for arbing or trading reasons. This is totally fine. But if you manipulate odds having in mind dubious purposes, that should be a problem. For example, manipulate odds in a predetermined outcome in order to attract volumes for an event. There are numerous examples, I am not going to educate further.

FairExchange is the smallest brother of the family with limited public information and user feedback. Obviously it has things to prove as well, but it is very rare when we hear a complaint about them. Maybe this is because of a smaller cliental basis.

With that in mind, let me share something about FairExchange.
Unlike other exchange white-labels, FairExchange hasn’t faced the same issues. Over the years, we haven’t encountered problems like those currently affecting platforms like Orbit, such as mirror websites, fake bets, or stolen funds.

The only challenges with FairExchange are related to its interface—occasional difficulties with bets and odds—and, in rare cases, suspected fraudulent activity. However, These cases are extremely rare and typically occur only when customers fail to follow the rules of the exchange

This is why we recommend FairExchange to our customers over other options. In my opinion, FairExchange deserves more recognition—it’s not far behind Orbit, the other major exchange white-label.

I've heard that unlike other BF white labels, FairExchange has very small exposure limits which make them pretty much useless for serious traders. Is that information correct?

I'm new on the forum even though many years in the business. I look for BF alternative which is not available anymore for me due to country restrictions. I used to earn with scalping method and wonder if these white labels could useful for such strategy. Could anybody clarify what kind of commision they apply? Is it based on winning markets as it is in BF (you are backing $1000 at 2.00 and laying $1000 at 2.0 a minute later so your net profit is $0 and commision is $0 too) or maybe every winning bet is charged separately - then not useful for scalping

Meanwhile, i am experiencing serious Liquidity drop in my Orbit account. I do not know if this is general or just applied to me

The commission rates can be seen in the first post of this thread, and they are applied in the same way that Betfair applies them in the original Betfair accounts. The only difference, is that commission rates by the white0labels are flat, they don't change from one week to the next, no matter if you bet (or don't bet) more.

Thanx for clarification, so the only drawback seems to be lack of software supporting bettors, isn't it? I'm used to work with Geekstoy. I suppose that scalping without it would be much more difficult but let's take a chance
