OTC Desk

– B2B Brokerage – Licensed in South AfricA

Lay off your book.
Without leaving your desk.

Betmatch OTC is a licensed brokerage service giving bookmakers direct access to one of the world’s deepest betting-exchange liquidity pools. Hedge concentrated exposure, manage tournament risk, and trade out of positions you can’t match in-house. One licensed counterparty: ZAR Prive (Pty) Ltd t/a Betmatch.

Bookmakers carry tournament risk they cannot lay off locally.

South African liquidity is shallow during major events. Concentrated exposure on a tournament favourite, a Bafana or AFCON run, or a popular outright sits on your balance sheet until kick-off. Betmatch OTC solves this.

Built on infrastructure that already moves billions.

Betmatch is the only South African-licensed exchange with direct access to a global peer-to-peer betting network. We bring institutional-grade liquidity onshore.
