What is going on Exbet.io??? The site has been down since the afternoon! I've been waiting the whole week to bet on the weekend matches then the whole site crashes for the whole day without any notifications or anything! at least send the members an email to keep them updated! this is totally inacceptable!

Exbet Product Update:
- Users will now stay logged in on Exbet for 12 hours (unless they explicitly log out).
We hope this improves the trading UX for users.

Might be of particular interest to you, ziadmar!

Oh yes! I've noticed this today! this is awesome! keep up the good work!

I have some more suggestions which might be interesting:

1- Under “Matched Bets” on the right side of the market, it would be nice to have the exact time and date in which the bet was matched and to be able to view the matched bets in order of their matching time. Currently, the default order is according to odds.

2- It would be nice to be able to view the markets in the order of the most matched bets. Perhaps you can also add the total of matched bets on the main page next to each market.

3- Live matches are a bit hidden and I think this explains the lack of in-play liquidity. I believe they should be visible first thing on the main page without having to click on the Live tab.

Also a question:
Regarding the withdrawal limit, is it per day? The withdrawal fee (0.272 mB) is a bit high, especially if there’s a withdrawal limit. So for example, if I need to withdraw 5000 USD, I need to make 2 withdrawals and pay the withdrawal fee twice?

Thanks again

Thanks for the update! this looks really promising.

1. This is an excellent feature and I hope to see the matched bets and hopefully also graphs soon.
2. Thanks for listening to us! It looks like everything is in order for now, i'll be testing it more and I'll let you know if anything comes up.

Keep up the good work!

Hi exbet.io, thanks for your reply. Please understand that the purpose from my notes and comments is not to criticize you or your work, it's just to improve the website to offer the players a better experience and increase liquidity which in turn will increase your profits.

Regarding your replies:
2- Yes, that's it. I didn't know this page existed. I used to always click on My Bets. This is good but it would be great if we can choose exact dates and also if we can see P/L for more than 3 months back.
3- Yes, of course I understand everything takes time.
4- I understand that security is a big issue, but perhaps you can see how other sites are doing it and just do what they are doing. For example, Fairlay keeps me logged in until I shutdown the computer. If you can at least increase the default login time to 5-6 hours, at least for now, that would be great. But, please do something about this, this is really a pain in the ass. Imagine once your site receives lots of traffic and liquidity, and once there's lots of action in the markets people need to be logged in all the time, being logged out and logging in again can make them miss a bet or even worse it may make them unable to cancel a bet, and once people lose money this way they will never come back to your site.

6- It's unfortunate that you will not change the minimum stake soon, this will make you lose lots of business. I for one, on many occasions I wanted to take a bet on your site, then because of the minimum stake/0.1 increment, I had to place the bet elsewhere.

Regarding my bets history, it only shows me my bets from "30-01-2021 16:21 Bayern Munich v Hoffenhiem", the ones before aren't showing. The same applies to the Profit/Loss page.

I will let you know if anything else comes up!

Thanks again Smiley

Hi again,

I’ve been spending some time on the website lately and I have some notes I hope you can take into consideration.

1- Today (Sunday), I tried to place a couple of Live bets, but I got the following error  “Sorry, we are unable to process your request. Please try again!”

2- In the “My Bets” page, there should be a column displaying “Net Profit” (Profit minus Commission), it doesn’t make sense showing profit only since it’s not the actual profit. Also, on the same page, it would be nice to be able to view bets history in a certain time period enabling the user to select the exact dates and see their profit/loss.

3- Bettors should have the option of seeing potential and actual profit/loss with and without the commission on the market itself. This is an essential feature for traders.

4- The issue of the site logging me out is really a serious one and should be fixed. The user should be allowed to choose whether or not he wishes to be logged out. For example, that day I wanted to place a bet just 1 minute before the start of the match, then I noticed I was logged out. By the time I logged back in the match had already started and the odds were gone. I have never seen any betting website logging out users after only an hour or so.


5- It would be nice to be able to cancel individual bets and all bets from the My Bets page, because sometimes, you can have several open unmatched bets, then all of a sudden you find a bet you want to take but you don’t have enough available balance because of your unmatched bets, so you need to cancel one or all of those unmatched bets to place your new bet quickly without having to go to each and every market to cancel bets individually.

6- The minimum bet should be 0.01 and not 0.10. For some bets with higher odds, 0.10 can be too much, and also some traders like to balance their green on both sides to the cent, with 0.10 being the minimum bet that would be impossible. 

7- On several occasions, I have noticed that the market gets messed up and doesn’t show correctly. However, when I refresh the page everything goes back to normal. Please see the screenshot below.

8- It would be nice if you can add tennis markets. The Australian Open is starting soon.

Thanks again!

Also another suggestion: it would be nice to have the option to view profit with the site commission included. This is very useful for traders who do arbitrage with other bookmakers too.

Thank you for your reply. Sill, the liabilities in the market don't work the same way as in Betfair. I've been trading on Betfair for more than 10 years so I have a good understanding of how it works. Let me give you the following example:

Let's say I only have 2.50 mBT in my balance and in a football match, I lay Team A at 1.25 for 10 mBT.

After the bet is matched, my liabilities will look like this:
Team A -2.50
Draw + 10
Team B +10

And my balance will be 0.00

Quote
Yes, we 100% agree with you - this is how liabilities should work.

Maybe we were not clear in our comment before - this is how liabilities generally work on Exbet. BUT there is an edge case on Exbet where it does NOT work as it should - this is when the user does not have funds in their account (like in your example) to cover the stake/liability of the second bet (which they should not need to have, exactly like you say). A fix will be released in the next 10 days, and functionality will then be as you describe for all scenarios.

That's great, I'm looking forward to that!

Thanks - it means a lot to us to get good feedback from someone like you who has strong expereince with exchange betting.

Your welcome, I am liking your site so far because it's simple and smooth, this is how it should be, nothing complicated. For example, I checked out Fairlay, and their site is very intimidating and complicated, even for an experienced trader. So, you can imagine how complicated it is for newcomers. A betting exchange should target all types of people, not only experienced traders.

What do you think abut managed markets in football, ziadmar?

I personally prefer unmanaged markets, although I can understand why some people might not like them as they feel vulnerable to broadcasting delays.

I also have another suggestion. It's a bit difficult to get to the other markets in football events. When you click on a football match, you are taken to the Match Odds market, but one has to click on top to navigate to other markets (Correct Score, goals etc.). They seem a bit hidden. It would be easier to have all the markets show on the left hand side so that they are visible to everyone.

Thanks again

However, there is one edge case where this fails on Exbet - when the user has not enough funds in their account to cover both liabilities separately. Bitcointalk user Intrepidity brought this up at the end of last year, and we replied here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5187610.msg55380106#msg55380106

We actually have a fix prepared for this which is in testing and will be released at start of February. Good spot by you to find this edge case!

We hope that addresses your issue, but let us know if you are still not satisfied with functionality - we aim to please  Wink

After the bet is matched, my liabilities will look like this:
Team A -2.50
Draw + 10
Team B +10

And my balance will be 0.00

Now, the odds of Team A go up to 1.30 and I want to back them again to lock in a profit on all sides. So I try to back Team A at 1.30 for 9 mBT. I get an error message saying I don't have enough money in my balance. This bet should be allowed since I already have +10 on the 2 other possible outcomes. In this case I had to cancel other bets in other markets just to cover this bet. This in turn will decrease the liquidity in the markets in general. In Betfair, if you are green on any outcome you can use that green to place other bets on the same market.

I hope the idea got through. If you fix this this would help increase liquidity on the site. Again, you're doing a great job so far and I salute you for that, now we just need more players to come in and play.

Just a question, when a goal is scored in football in-play (live) matches, do you suspend the market or only at the end of the match?

Thanks again

I've just joined Exbet today and I have to say you've done a very good job, it's the closest thing to betfair. The website is quite smooth and easy to navigate, but the liquidity is too low. Hopefully that would pick up in the future. Just one thing, I noticed that the site keeps logging me out every couple of hours. Usually people spend lots of time on betting exchanges and the most annoying thing is to get logged out in the middle of a match. There should be an option to keep users logged in.

Thanks
