Sharp Exchange is a new sports betting exchange powered by Betfair markets. They launched their site in September 2024 and have been operational since then. They are available like all other exchanges of this type, which is a broker-based agency system. Sharp Exchange is modeled on Orbit and doesn’t dodge that. Already on the homepage you can find slogans related to the information that Sharp Exchange is an alternative to Orbit, they don’t hide this and you can see that they will advertise themselves as an alternative to the largest exchange powered by Betfair markets. Can this young white label site really be considered a strong point in the market? We will try to analyze all available information about Sharp Exchange.
An account with Sharp Exchange can only be established by opening an account with a broker. Once we have such an account, we have an open way to choose the exchange as one of the options available at the broker and we can get a private Sharp Exchange account. It is not possible to open an account directly with the exchange, so this is a standard operating system. At the moment, Sharp Exchange is only available with the broker BetInAsia.
Since the very start of Sharp Exchange has been available exclusively from the broker BetInAsia, adding to this the date of the start of operations and the appearance of their services from this broker one can conclude with a high degree of probability that Sharp Exchange is owned by BetInAsia. This broker abandoned offering Orbit Exchange accounts and seamlessly moved to offering Sharp Exchange by transferring the accounts and balances of all players who have their accounts with Orbit. New players can already create accounts on the new exchange using their account with the broker. Deposits and withdrawals, as well as all account maintenance will be done from your account with the broker, who handles all the logistics. We are monitoring the market and if access to Sharp Exchange appears at other brokers, we will publish that information in this review.
Sharp Exchange is an exchange whose markets are powered by Betfair. On top of that, they are very much modeled on Orbit Exchange. For players who already have some experience in using this type of platform, it will not be a problem to use their offer. It’s just practically the same as it is on white label sites. Sharp Exchange offers a long list of available sports to bet on, we can bet on football, horse racing, basketball, ice hockey, rugby, dart, tennis, esports, American soccer, baseball and many other sports, among others. The minimum bet for all sports and events is €10. Odds and liquidity are the same as at Betfair. The sports pre-match as well as live betting offer is also almost the same. The commission is the same as at Orbit (except during the initial promotion period, 2.5%)
Sharp Exchange is a very young exchange and it’s hard to draw conclusions about their services yet. Certainly, it can be considered that the funds deposited on the exchange should be safe, as it is operated by the secure broker BetInAsia. However, we will be able to see how it all works from a technical point of view after some more time of operation and testing of this exchange by us, as well as from players’ opinions on it. Despite the fact that they are modeling themselves after Orbit Exchange and want to be an alternative, it may be hard because of Orbit long-standing high standing and reputation among players around the world. However, another white label exchange on the market is highly desirable, and although the abandonment of Orbit may be detrimental to BetInAsia, the emergence of Sharp Exchange instead may be beneficial to players who still have access to Orbit at other brokers, but also have an alternative.
We will closely monitor the development of this new exchange. We will try to keep players informed of any changes in the operation of the exchange, commissions and all other information regarding Sharp Exchange.
