FAQ

Betting Exchange Software: common questions

How does exchange betting work?
On a betting exchange, players bet against each other instead of a bookmaker. One player backs an outcome to happen, another lays it, and the exchange matches them at the same odds. The exchange earns a commission on each winner’s net profit.
How much does it cost?
Exchange builds are usually turnkey or custom because of the matching engine and liquidity setup. We quote after a discovery call.
How long does it take to launch?
A turnkey exchange takes around 10–14 weeks. Custom engines and markets take longer.
How do I solve liquidity on a new exchange?
Most new exchanges combine market-maker accounts, automated pricing bots and an external liquidity connection. We help you set the mix and limits.
How does the exchange make money?
Mainly through commission on net winnings per market, plus optional premium charges, casino cross-sell and agent shares.
Can you build an agent-based exchange?
Yes. Credit-based agent hierarchies are common in some markets, and our agent module supports multiple levels with share settings.
