I found the initial layout of Matchbook quite confusing as i was used to smaller sites, however found signup simple and quick. I was using matchbook to place and lay bets, and the exchange rate was particularly appealing, as betfair charges are much higher commision rates. I found the odds very fair, and across hundreds of bets I never had any issues withdrawing or depositing funds. When i didn't understand an outcome of a bet, customer services were extremely helping in teaching me about the betting process. I have used most sections of the website, and came across no glitches or issues. Very happy with the service provided by Matchbook!!

Matchbook is by far my favourite bookmaker. Really easy to sign up with no requirement for ID documents if they can verify your address, which means you can pretty much start going instantly.
Simple to use, with the search function to find the sport you're betting on, they make it incredibly easy to bet online. They also offer brilliant commission rates as an exchange so you can ensure you're making the most out of your money.
Beyond the functionality, they've got a pretty swish interface, and payout winnings quickly. If you request money over a weekend, it can tend to take a little longer but normally if you request Monday - Friday, the money is normally sent within 24 hours, which makes it even easier to continue betting...
Live betting can sometimes be a little tricky as they pause games through Half time, which does make it hard to track the odds, and sometimes games can be suspended. Just make sure you keep an eye on it and get in quick.
Used the live chat functionality the other day to sort understand the status of my bet The agent was on hand to help and within 5 minutes, I felt assured all had gone through okay.
On the whole, I would highly recommend Matchbook as a bookie.

The sign up process for Matchbook was very quick and easy. I have found the odds value to be great so far, and there is a very wide selection of markets available across many different sports and events.
The site is very easy to use, it is clearly laid out, colourful and simple to understand from the minute you start using it. The search function is particularly useful if you want to find a particular event quickly. It’s very easy to deposit funds, this comes up in a separate window so if you are browsing a market to place a bet and want to deposit you don’t lose the page you’re on which is great.
It’s also very easy to find your open bets, whether they are matched on unmatched. This is not easy on some other bookmaker sites. You can also very easily see your balance at the top of the page.
Withdrawal is easy and usually takes a couple of days.
I haven’t used the live chat function but the help section is very useful for any FAQ’s. It’s quick and easy to do in-play betting too. I have also used the app which is easy to use on the go.

The sign up process is very standard for a betting site, name DOB, address etc so it was very straightforward. You don't have to confirm your email address either. The layout of the pages is very clear with sport menu down left hand side, markets in the middle and betslip on the right. All bets I have placed with matchbook have been accepted immediately so the deposit process is very simple. Cards details are saved on your account so it means it makes it quick and easy to deposit. Also, given that I have a UK address, they were able to automatically verify my details meaning I didn't have to upload ID documents which saves messing about with. They have always accepted my deposits immediately and unlike other betting sites display a 'wallet' (total amount deposited, exposure (liabilities) as well as available balance which is useful for keeping track of funds. Other sites will only display the available balance in your account. Matchbook appear to have good range of markets available for what I am interested in, I have never had any issue betting on games of interest (for me exclusively football). They don't have markets for many different sports, only for golf, football, horseracing and golf. Some betting sites have a better range of sports including tennis, basketball, greyhound racing, cycling, darts. However, I've come across some sites which don't even include horse racing which I would imagine i quite popular. When funds are withdrawn they enter your account very quickly, within a few hours. I tend to like to bet on odds between 2 and 4 and have found plenty of football matches with these odds. I haven't needed to use live chat/customer support yet. Matchbook have an offer for 0% commission until the end of June and 1 free account withdrawal per week. Often exchange sites will charge 3-5% commission so this a really great offer. Many betting sites customer services need to be contacted for ID verification and to access offers but the commission offer was automatic and as mentioned, I didn't need to verify my ID. I haven't tried in play betting yet or app so it's the next thing for me to try! All in all, matchbook is a great site for betting on football as it offers a lot of different markets, with easy sign up, deposit and withdrawal if you are based in the UK and use VISA. It's great if you don't want to pay commission! However, not so great if you want to bet on a variety of different sports.
