SportsBroker Review & Rating 2024

At SportsBroker, prices work differently from traditional sportsbooks. Instead of fixed odds set by the bookmaker, the odds in a sweepstakes are determined by the collective stakes of all participants. The odds reflect the overall betting pool, meaning the potential returns decrease if many punters back the same outcome.

However, this system can sometimes result in better odds than those offered by other bookmakers, particularly when less popular outcomes win. SportsBroker charges a 20% commission to facilitate the pool, but the more wagers placed on an outcome, the lower the commission will be.

Example: Consider a Men's Davis Cup Tennis match between the Netherlands and Brazil. The total prize fund currently stands at £30. For each £1 staked, the indicative returns are £30 for both teams. If 15 people bet £1 on the Netherlands and 15 on Brazil, the £30 pool would be divided among the 15 winners, giving them £2 before any commission.

However, as more stakes are placed, these indicative returns will change. For instance, the more people back a team, the lower the payout. The final payout odds will be determined when the betting pool closes.

SportsBroker covers a range of nine sports, including popular options such as:

• Football

• American football (NFL league)

• Rugby Super League

• Rugby Union

• Cricket

• Hockey

• Volleyball

• Basketball

• Tennis

Football takes centre stage, with over 50 matches available on top tournament days. The platform offers extensive coverage of domestic competitions such as the EPL and the Championship. It also has matches from less famous tournaments, such as the Norwegian Eliteserien and Brazilian Serie A.

However, markets are limited to the Money Line for all sports, which means you can only bet on the winner or a draw where applicable. Unfortunately, the site does not include horse racing, a notable omission for sweepstakes. 

At SportsBroker, placing live wagers is not an option. This is common for pool-based platforms, as bets typically close before the event begins. Although the site has a Live section, it shows what matches are playing; you can't wager on them.

The bookie provides a welcome bonus where new customers can wager £10 and receive £30 in Free Bets for various sports. To qualify, you must deposit and place £10 in stakes during the promotional period. Once the requirements are met, the reward is credited to the account.

The bonus must be wagered three times before any winnings can be withdrawn, with the minimum qualifying bet being £1. Additionally, you have 30 days to use the prize before it expires, and any remaining balance will be forfeited.
