The mobile app is available for both iOS and Android users, and you can download it in the “Download App” section of the platform’s official website. Additionally, the mobile application works perfectly with their betting exchange and casino games. 

Before you can make bets on Matchbook, you’ll need to open a real betting account with the bookmaker. Creating a new account is simple, and it won’t take much of your time.

Crosscheck the details and proceed to the third page by clicking “Next.”

3. The last registration page asks for a security question, and you have about five options to choose from. Select your preferred question and provide an answer in the following box. Ensure you can remember the question and answer easily. Further, you’ll need to click two boxes for attestation. The first is for updates from the bookmaker, and the second is to attest that you provided correct information and accept their terms and conditions.

It will also inform you that you must upload some documents for your account verification. Remember, without verification, you can neither fund your account nor withdraw from it. 

Before you can place a bet with Matchbook, you will need to complete verification and fund your account. Meanwhile, depositing on this betting exchange is simple. Ensure you sign into your new account and follow our guide below. 

1. There are two ways to access the deposit page. You can directly click “Deposit Now”, which is displayed at the top of the screen on the right. You can also access your deposit portal by clicking “Available”, which is at the top-right corner as well. It will reveal your account balance in the “Deposit” and “Withdraw” tabs. Click “Deposit” to proceed. 
2. Next, a page showing all available deposit options will appear, and you will select your preferred methods from the list. Meanwhile, you have Visa, Mastercard (credit/debit cards), Neteller, and Skrill to choose from. Click on your preferred payment method to reveal the payment interface. 

3. Follow the on-screen guide on the interface, inputting the required information. For instance, if you use a card, the card numbers, desired amount, expiry date, and CVV will be requested. Check and authenticate your transaction, and once the deposit is confirmed as successful, the amount will be reflected in your account almost instantly. The smallest amount you can deposit is £10.

Placing a bet with Matchbook differs slightly from regular sportsbooks, but it’s quite simple. In addition to betting that a market will happen (back bet), UK bettors can also bet that a market will not occur (lay bet). The back bet odds are blue, while the lay bet odds are pink. To place a bet, follow the steps below. 

1. Choose your preferred sports from the list on the left-hand side of your screen, and upcoming matches will be shown with their back and lay options. However, if you have a specific game in mind, you can navigate using the ‘Country’ option shown above. Clicking the country reveals the matches available for every league operating there. 

2. You can click on “Display” to change the market to handicap or totals and then select your preferred market. Click on your market choice on an event, and a bet slip will appear. Meanwhile, you may decide to play multiple games; click “Add to Multiple” on the slip, and you can add the remaining markets. 

3. Once you finish your selection, input your desired wagering amount below the bet slip. This will reveal your potential win, besides the amount staked. However, ensure you have enough funds in your betting account to complete your bet. 

4. Hit the “Submit” button to complete your bet. Also, ensure you check and confirm the stakes before submitting. A confirmation bet will show that you have successfully placed a bet on Matchbook. You can view your bet under the “My Bet” section of your account. 

Cashing in your withdrawable balance on Matchbook involves a few simple steps. But remember, only verified accounts can withdraw, and also, Matchbook policy only allows punters to withdraw using the payment method through which they initially funded their bet account. Follow the steps below to withdraw. 

1. Sign into your Matchbook account and click on the “Available” balance in the right corner of your screen. This will reveal the “Withdraw” bar. Click on it, and a screen will pop up with the payment methods available on the betting exchange. 

2. Choose your preferred method, which will depend on the funding method previously used. However, the betting exchange supports withdrawal via Visa, Mastercard, Bank Wire, Neteller, and Skrill. You’ll need to provide the details of your payment method. For instance, cards require the cardholder’s name, card number, expiry date, and CVV. Also, you’ll need to enter your preferred withdrawal amount, which can be between £10 and £20,000.

3. Submit your withdrawal request after checking the details you entered. When the screen shows the transaction was successful, you’ll receive your payment once it’s processed. Meanwhile, the withdrawal time varies depending on the payment methods used. However, it may take up to 12 hours for e-wallets or 2-5 days for bank transfers.
