As a sports bettor, you may have come across the term bet broker (or bet agent / betting agent as they’re also called). In this article, you’ll learn what a bet broker is and how you can benefit from using them when sports betting. We’ve also compiled a list for you of some of the most popular and trusted bet agent services.

What is a bet broker / bet agent?

Simply put, a bet broker acts as a middleman between you and the bookmaker (or an exchange such as Matchbook) in the process of placing bets. A bet broker will give you single-account access to multiple bookmakers at the same time and provide you with the best odds available on the market. Here’s a list of recommended bet brokers and their respective sign-up offers. 

Why should I use a betting broker?

Betting brokers provide access to more betting markets, higher limits, and better odds than most bettors could find through traditional means. By using a broker, bettors can also take advantage of sure betting and value betting opportunities that would be difficult to find without one. These benefits make it easier for bettors to maximize their potential profits over the long-term.

Using a bet agent or bet broker can let you access bookmakers that you are already limited on, or bookmakers that aren’t available in your country.

Not all bookmakers have a license to operate in every country, meaning you may very well be one of them that misses out on good bookmakers, like Pinnacle, simply because these bookmakers aren’t available for you because of where you live.

Using a bet broker you will also be able to place higher stakes and bet maximum limits across many bookmakers. This means that you can increase your earnings substantially.

And by using a betting agent you’ll have access to the best odds available on the market. You don’t have to pay as much commission (also known as vig, juice) as you would have, using multiple regular bookmaker accounts.

Another advantage of using a bet agent is that you’ll also get access to many of the big Asian bookmakers’ odds. Many Asian bookmakers aren’t accessible in other ways than via a bet broker. These bookmakers many times offer far greater limits that the regular bookmakers that you use outside the bet broker service. Want to learn more about Asian bookmakers?

With a bet broker account, you will access multiple bookmakers at the same time. This means you don’t have to spend unnecessary time moving funds across bookmakers. They will do all the heavy lifting for you!

How does a bet agent work?

A bet broker will provide you with accounts in various bookmakers. They act as the middleman between you and the bookmakers where you play in the bookmakers accounts, but the transactions are done through the bet broker.

Not all bet brokers work the same way though, but most common is that when you’re using a bet broker you will only have one account (that is, with the bet broker) from which you can place all of your bets.

One thing all brokers have in common is, that using a bet broker, you’ll be able to take advantage of the best odds available for a given betting event across a range of bookmakers. This also means less administrative work, and you don’t have to spend unnecessary time to move funds from one bookmaker to another or have to keep track of multiple bookmaker accounts.

How do bet brokers make their money?

Bet brokers earn commission from bringing traffic to the bookmakers. Also, they usually don’t operate completely for free, meaning they will charge you for their services in one way or another. But many sports bettors feel like the cost associated with using a bet broker are fully worth it considering the many possibilities a bet broker service will bring you.

Depending on the choice of bet broker you will have to pay a fee, and/or commission. Some are charging fees for placing bets, while others apply other forms of charges. Bear in mind that there are also transaction costs associated with withdrawals and bank transfers to and from the broker (just like it is using a regular bookmaker).
