Best exchange for a french user ?

Fri Jan 10, 2025 10:52 am

Dear bettors/traders,
I wish to all a very nice 2025.
I would like to know what would be your recommendation as I'm searching an exchange platform to substitute Betfair.
I'm tired of not being able to "trade out'" as bookmakers offer "selling bet" options which are simply ridiculous. >:(
I have heard of Piwi247, Kingfair24, Oddjusta, Orbit. Smarkets look really nice but don't accept french users.
And what about liquidities ?
Thanks for your help
Grant

The truth is there is no sure and safe Betfair alternative. All of them got previous dodgy practices, I wouldnt keep decent amount of money in any "alternatives". In my opinion you can choose between "bad and worse" and pick a slightly better one but no one is even comparable to Betfair. If you are going to trade mainstream teams for peanuts you are probably safe but if you are going to lump big chunks of money, be careful cause one day you may wake up trying to solve your case of money-passing (which is quite popular speaking about Betfair alternatives to seize customer money for no reason) or betting fixed games (in their opinion) for months.

Yep, that's why I asked for help. I mean I never had any problem with Betfair in the past. (Well, to be fair only 2 cases (Voler la Vedette and Davydenko))
I was on Betdaq also. And you are right, in every gamblers forums there are red flags with the books I listed earlier. That's sad.

If you are looking for a Betfair alternative from a restricted country, it is inevitable that you will be exposed to some risk. The question is, is the potential profit greater than the potential risk? If yes, then you should search for that alternative.

By default, the people that select using Betfair alternatives acknowledge these risks, and they then find a modus operandi with the smallest possible risk.

Hello Jeremy,

I am a french gambler too and looking for an alternative to OrbitX and Piwi.

Have you find what you are looking for ?
