BetConnect Review

Betconnect is an up and coming bet platform, that operates as a bet exchange. They offer users a unique way of betting and promise great opportunities for both punters and professionals. Learn more about their services from this detailed review of BetConnect.

Betconnect Registration

Registering on Betconnect is a natural process that only takes a few minutes of your time.

Website Layout and Navigation

This website looks completely different when you are browsing it on guest mode, compared to when you are logged in. Before you log in, you cannot see any of the bets on offer, you can only see information on how the website works, and what it can offer.

Once you have created your account, you can then see what Betconnect offers. Along the left-hand side of the screen, you can easily find information about your account, as well as along the top of the screen. Pressing the sizeable Betconnect logo takes you to a bet, as well as provides you with a list of all of the betting sites that offer competing for odds so that you can find the best ones. If you are not interested in betting on that specific market, you press the “Not Interested” button at the bottom of the screen, and it will direct you to complete the process again to find another bet.

That is a lot different from traditional bookmakers, and it can take some time to get used to the way that bet exchanges operate. However, the Betconnect site is so simple and uncluttered, that this is the perfect platform to learn on. They also offer helpful information on how to use the website and how it works, so that everyone can understand.

Matched Betting on Sports

Another one of the ways that Betconnect is different from other bookmakers is that they offer matched betting. That essentially means that you make two bets – a “back bet”, which is a bet for something to happen (such as your team winning a match). You then also place a “lay bet”, which is betting against that outcome (so betting that your team will not win). So either way, you win and cancel out your losses. It is also known as a betting exchange, although unlike most other bet exchanges, Betconnect does not charge a commission or a qualifying loss, so you do not stand to lose. They offer a YouTube video that explains this whole process in greater depth, for those who do not understand.

To make a Betconnect matched bet, you need to find a bet request that you are happy with. It will give you odds on a lay bet, that a professional bettor has created. Punters are then given a list of bookmakers that offer a back bet that complements the lay bet, as well as the odds that they offer. To make a matched bet, you find a bookmaker with equal or better odds to the lay bet, and you go to their site and place a bet. Enter the same stake for both the lay bet and the back bet, follow the back bet on Betconnect, and you will have a matched bet.

Bookmaker Comparison for BetConnect

Back Bet vs Lay Bet

About the Odds

This form of betting only works if the odds on your lay bet are better or equal to the odds on your back bet because your lay bet is what you want to win (your back bet is essentially a form of insurance). So with Betconnect, you are offered a bet by a professional. You can then see all of the odds offered from various other bookmakers so that you can make the best, informed choice. Place a bet with a bookmaker who offers excellent odds, making sure that these odds are better or equal to your lay bet offered on Betconnect. This way, if you win your back bet, you hopefully win more than the cost of your lay bet.

Pro-Account vs Punter Account

When you sign up to Betconnect, you can choose whether you would like to have a pro account or a punter account.

Betconnect Blog

Betconnect frequently updates their blog, which is full of helpful tips and tricks on betting for various sports. They offer guides for betting on certain sports, information on bet exchanges, and how to get the most out of the Betconnect platform. It is great for players who want to understand more about the matched betting process or want to stay on top of betting for a certain sport, such as football. All of the blog entries tagged with keywords, so you can easily find more information on the same topic. The tags displayed on the right-hand side of the screen for easy access, so you can find what you’re looking for.

Options for Deposits and Withdrawals

As it currently stands, Betconnect is only accepting payment from Visa or Mastercard. You cannot use popular e-wallets such as Skrill or Neteller to deposit or withdraw money from the site. However, this is highly likely because Betconnect is still a very new betting site, and it expected that they would expand their payment methods as time goes on. It should noted that the site also currently only accepts GBP, but this may expand as the site does.

Payment Method	Deposit Minimum	Deposit Maximum	Time for Deposit	Minimum Withdrawal	Withdrawal Maximum	Time for Withdrawal
Visa	£10	£10,000	Instant	£1	£2,000	3-5 Working Days
MasterCard	£10	£10,000	Instant	£1	£2,000	3-5 Working Days
Bank Wire Transfer	£10	£10,000	Instant	£1	£2,000 & more	3-5 Working Days

Individual users can also create personal limits that allow them to determine the maximum amount they want to deposit on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, to ensure their safety when gambling.

Betconnect App for Mobile

Betconnect also offers punters the opportunity to download their app, allowing you more flexibility to bet when you want, wherever you want. The site provides an Android app, as well as a corresponding iOS app. Both of these are entirely free to download and offer all of the functions of the main website. The Android app can found in the Google Play Store, and the iOS app can be downloaded from the App Store.

Alternatively, if you would prefer to access the website on your mobile device but you do not want to download the app (or you do not have a compatible device), you can always access the mobile version of the website. That is simply the website, slightly redesigned to be easier to use on a smaller touch screen.

Betconnect Affiliate Program

This betting site also has an affiliate program, for those wanting to earn a little more on the side. Punters can sign up to the program, and their application will then reviewed. If it is accepted, punters can then become a member. They will receive the necessary support and materials from the Betconnect affiliate program, such as banner to display on their website, as well as other promotional material. You will then receive a commission, for all of the punters who sign up to the site via your link.

FAQ

Company information

Betconnect is a relatively new bet exchange on the market, aimed at amateur bettors as well as professionals. Professionals can create lay bets based on odds from some great bookmakers and offer these bets to the amateur punters. These punters can then look through the bet requests sent by professionals, and choose to follow the bet or not. They are then giving all the information they need to create a back bet, making a matched bet with the best possible odds on the market.
