Crypto Sportsbooks Fall Short on Secondary League Coverage
The article compares seven crypto sportsbooks on their coverage of secondary leagues in domestic football. The platforms were tested for their market depth, including corners, cards, player props, and alternate lines. A platform with extensive coverage of secondary leagues is unusual, with most sportsbooks stopping at the big five leagues.
Dexsport stood out from the competition, offering a wide range of markets on smaller competitions. It also offers self-custody of settled bets, public settlement records, and audited contracts. However, it has some limitations, including no live streaming and restricted territories in the US, UK, and Australia.
The other platforms compared were Cloudbet, Stake, Vave, BC.Game, BetPanda, and Thunderpick. While they offered some coverage of secondary leagues, none matched Dexsport's level of depth. The article notes that pricing a market costs money, and sportsbooks ration their investment based on expected turnover.
As a result, platforms may offer extensive coverage of major competitions but thin out on smaller ones. This means that bettors should test each platform against the leagues they actually follow, rather than relying solely on a platform's reputation.
