commission in both of Orbit and 9wickets is 3% on winnings , which is lower than the standard betfair but as I understood from support commissions don't get lower lower even if you wager hundred of thousands with them unlike betfair where high rollers get discounts


Also ,do you know if can we gain api access to the exchange through Asianconnect pls? I couldn't find any info regards api access on their site?


9wickets say explicitly that they don't provide API access.
I assume Orbit is the same deal, but maybe SyGambler knows.

To be honest, without API access, an exchange is useful but still more of a glorified sportsbook than anything. Being able to Lay a bet is great, and the prices can be good... but without API access, 90% of the really interesting exchange activity is not possible, including market making and HFT.

yeah Asianconnect don't offer API access for both of the exchanges , so this may be a problem for some of you

personally I don't trade and I mainly use orbitexchange for horse racing since I have no access to any of UK bookmakers that offer good lines for racing so orbit is my only place to bet on horses

it's not perfect , but it's helpful if you have lack of options and lower commissions is always great  Wink

Completely agree re the api access,an exchange where you havent got it is pretty much an exchange in name only!

The ability to make real time decisions and react to them instantaneously is pretty much the whole user exchange experience in a nutshell  for me personally otherwise like you arco and sy id just be using sportsbooks(or an exchange as a glorified one)

I dont think ive acome across anything so far that matches the betfair/matchbook/betdaq exchange user experience in cryptoland.
