Frequently Asked Questions

Sharkbetting.com is a platform for matched bettors, arbers, and value bettors. We provide real-time tools such as an Oddsmatcher, betting calculators, bookmaker reviews, and educational guides—all designed to help you extract consistent profit from bookmaker promotions and odds discrepancies.

Matched betting is mathematically risk-free when executed correctly. By placing a “back” bet at a bookmaker and a corresponding “lay” bet at a betting exchange, you cover all possible outcomes. Our calculators ensure the stakes are perfectly aligned, even accounting for commission and odds movement.

Start by:

  1. Creating accounts at beginner-friendly bookmakers (filterable in our bookmaker table).

  2. Using our Qualifying Bet Calculator to place your first matched bet.

  3. Moving on to free bets, reload offers, and eventually arbing or volume strategies.

Our step-by-step guides walk you through each phase

No. Sharkbetting.com does not take deposits or place bets. Our platform provides tools and education—you place bets directly with the bookmakers and exchanges you choose to register with.

  • Matched betting targets bookmaker promotions and bonuses.

  • Arbitrage betting (or “arbing”) finds pricing inefficiencies across bookmakers and exchanges—even without promos—so you can lock in guaranteed profit by betting both sides.

Both strategies can be combined using our Oddsmatcher and calculators.

Volume betting is an advanced strategy where users place large stakes to unlock higher-value promotions, VIP programs, or cashback from bookmakers. The goal is to build trust with bookies and receive personalized rewards from their loyalty departments. Our platform supports volume bettors with tailored tools and tracking features.

Our Oddsmatcher scans real-time odds from 250+ bookmakers and exchanges, filters them by your preferences (commission, rating, liquidity), and displays opportunities to lock in profit. You can sort by expected value (EV), rating %, sport, market type, and more.

We currently integrate with Orbit Exchange (Betfair Exchange). Others will be added soon.

You can filter by exchange in the calculator or set default commission rates globally in your profile (coming soon).

For Sharkbetting? No.

For bookmakers and exchanges? In some regions, yes. Certain bookmakers are geo-restricted or may limit access to bonus offers based on your IP. If you’re using alternative accounts, it’s essential to change IPs and devices for each one. However, we always recommend following local laws and bookmaker T&Cs. 

Yes! Our platform and calculators are fully responsive. Whether you’re checking odds on the move or placing bets during a live event, Sharkbetting works great on all devices.

It depends on:

  • The number of bookmakers available in your country

  • How many offers you complete per week

  • How efficiently you use tools like our Oddsmatcher and calculators

New users often make €1,000–€2,000/month, while experienced bettors with multiple accounts can scale to €20,000+ monthly.

Yes, matched betting and arbing are legal in most jurisdictions. You are simply taking advantage of publicly available odds and promotions. However, each bookmaker has its own terms of service, and breaching them (e.g., multi-accounting) can result in bans or withheld winnings.
