Smarkets Blog

August is a great month for sports betting, the football season has just kicked off across Europe and we have just launched hundreds of new football markets to guarantee we have your favourite team covered (hopefully!). Next month is political conference season and all the parties will be revving their spin-machines this month. As we already run the widest range of political markets in the UK we’ll be keeping an eye on the action and providing you with unique markets to bet on.

We’re jam-packed full of betting opportunities in August. Here’s a few more highlights:

New Football Markets

We have added lots of new football markets including the Carling Cup, Europa League, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Turkish & Greek leagues. We’re also working on more betting opportunities such as total goals, first goalscorer and half time score in the near future.

Moneybookers

As we talked about in the previous post, you can now deposit with Moneybookers. We’re pleased to offer another way of depositing to Smarkets but let me know any feedback.

Coming Soon

We will be rolling out a view of market depth very soon and have a couple of big offers in the pipeline to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. Watch this space!

And Finally… win a £50 bonus

Just a bit of fun this, but guess the time of the first goal for the Blackburn v Arsenal game for a tidy £50!* All you need to do is place a £5 bet on any football match before midnight on Sunday August 29th and email the minute you think the first Blackburn v Arsenal goal will be scored to chris.needham@smarkets.com.

* If there is more than one winner, the prize will be split evenly amongst winners. The £50 will be in the form of a risk-free bonus. Standard Smarkets promotion terms apply.
