Open a MadMarket Betting Broker Account: Platforms and Payments
The short answer
MadMarket is a betting broker: one login and one wallet open Edge, Probet42 and Sharp Exchange, and through them Asian bookmakers and betting exchanges. Edge puts more than ten bookmakers and exchanges on one screen, Probet42 is MadMarket's alternative to Pinnacle, and Sharp Exchange is an exchange where you back and lay. You fund the wallet by card, e-wallet or crypto, with a minimum deposit of EUR 50 for every platform. This page covers the three platforms, the operators they reach, how to open an account, the payment methods and how identity is checked.
What MadMarket is
Think of MadMarket as the middleman. It gives you accounts at Asian bookmakers, a multi-bookmaker access point and a betting exchange, all behind one login, so you skip the business of opening an account at each. Three products sit under that login: Probet42, Edge and Sharp Exchange. One wallet, the MadMarket Wallet, holds your money, and you move it to whichever platform you want to bet on. The portal is where it all lives: wallet, products, transfers, withdrawals and document uploads.
New to the idea? Our page on betting brokers defined starts from the beginning.
A broker is a way in, not a bookmaker.
Edge, Probet42 and Sharp Exchange
The three platforms do different jobs, and you choose one for each bet rather than one for the whole account. The diagram shows how a deposit reaches them, and the sports each one covers are listed in the questions at the foot of the page.

(MadMarket, opens in a new tab)Edge has the most to learn, so it gets the most room here. One account reaches more than ten bookmakers and exchanges, and a single bet can combine the liquidity of several Asian bookmakers. Total, Average & Best shows the average price, the best price and the maximum stake. Timeout watches the odds and places your bet at the minimum price you choose, within a time you choose, up to 72 hours. Classic shows back options; switch to Exchange and the lay options appear. Expected Returns, Price History and Equivalent Bet Type sit alongside, and the dashboard adds Accounting and Analytics pages. We open Edge first when we want more than ten operators and the back and lay switch on one screen.
(MadMarket, opens in a new tab)Probet42 is the short one. You reach it through a broker, and here the broker is MadMarket. Its interface is familiar to Pinnacle users, the limits are dynamic (when you reach one, the odds refresh and you can place the same bet again), and Max Bet and Max Payout show in the bet slip. Singles, parlays, teasers. No cash out on Probet42.
Sharp Exchange is MadMarket's exchange, so the price comes from the other side of the market and you can back or lay, in play as well. It charges a fixed commission on winning bets only, which leaves one rate to work out and no table of tiers. We reach for it when a fixed rate matters more than a wide screen, and our betting exchange guide explains back and lay from scratch.

The door is MadMarket's. The prices belong to the operator.
Edge carries most of the rows, and the platform changes with the line: Pinnacle goes through Probet42, and the exchange rows split between Edge and Sharp Exchange where the table says so. Sbobet comes through Edge with no Sbobet account to open, so you can bet on Sbobet from your MadMarket login. 3et has no direct sign-up, and a broker platform such as Edge is the way in. Polymarket and Kalshi are rows in the table as well, both through Edge.
Read the table before you read the platform pages, because the operator you want decides the platform you open.
How to open an account
Five moves, in this order.
Register
Press Get Started, fill in your details, confirm your email address and create a password.
Fund the MadMarket Wallet
Deposit at least EUR 50, or the equivalent in pounds or dollars. The minimum is the same for every platform. Pick any of the methods in the payments section below.
Create a platform account
On the Products page, press Create Account for Edge, Probet42 or Sharp Exchange, then choose a username and your preferred currency.
Transfer money in
Use Transfer to move funds from the wallet to the platform account. Wallet first. Product account second.
Place your first bet
Edge for more than ten operators on one screen, Probet42 for a coupon like Pinnacle's, Sharp Exchange for back and lay.
(MadMarket, opens in a new tab)The conditions are short. You must be 18, or the legal age where you live, and you must live in a jurisdiction that allows online gambling; it is your responsibility to make sure your use is legal. You hold one account per person, for personal, non-commercial use. The extra step of a wallet is the price of moving between platforms, and we think three products under one login beat three separate sign-ups.
Deposits, crypto and withdrawals
MadMarket takes deposits by card (Visa and Mastercard), by e-wallet (Jeton Bank and MiFinity) and in crypto. Cards and e-wallets are open to users in selected countries, and crypto sits beside them. The coins are Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Tether (USDT), Cardano, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Tron, Solana and XRP, and our crypto betting guide goes through them.
Withdrawals work like this:
- You request a withdrawal from the MadMarket Wallet in the portal.
- Cards are not available for withdrawals, and other methods are offered instead.
- Each deposit is wagered at least once before you withdraw it.
The default withdrawal caps are EUR 5,000 per calendar day, EUR 10,000 per calendar week and EUR 50,000 per calendar month, or the equivalent in your currency (higher amounts are possible case by case). A cap written down is worth more than a vague promise, because you can plan around a number.
Identity checks and support
MadMarket can ask you to pass identity checks before you start betting or before a withdrawal, and it can run them at any time. Before a withdrawal it can also ask for a photo ID, confirmation of your address, a selfie or a verification call. Our page on KYC requirements sets this beside the other three brokers.
Live chat runs 24/7, and support answers by email too.
MadMarket next to the other three brokers
Each of the others has its own strength. An AsianConnect account gives you four platforms, PS3838, Piwi247, Asianodds88 and OrbitX, on one shared wallet balance. BetInAsia has BLACK, which connects many exchanges to the Asian bookmakers, PS3838 for Pinnacle and SharpX as the third platform, and it works as BetInAsia as an alternative. Sportmarket runs its own betting platform, with PS3838 for Pinnacle and FairExchange for Betfair and Orbit Exchange, which makes Sportmarket as an alternative worth a look. Our full comparison of the four sets them side by side.

No. The MadMarket on this page is an online betting broker: an account that reaches Asian bookmakers and betting exchanges through Edge, Probet42 and Sharp Exchange. If you were looking for somewhere to eat, this is not the page.
Is MadMarket crypto-only?
No. Visa and Mastercard, Jeton Bank and MiFinity sit beside crypto, and cards and e-wallets are open to users in selected countries. The ten coins are named in the payments section above, and the crypto guide has the rest.
