Matchbook was established in 2004 and acquired in 2011 by a consortium led by Matthew Benham's Triplebet Limited to offer professional traders a low-margin alternative to traditional bookmakers.
With a focus on major US sports, European soccer, and political markets, Matchbook gained popularity among algorithmic traders due to deep liquidity, tight spreads, and low commission structures.
Operating under UKGC and AGCC regulatory licenses, Matchbook provides advanced REST and WebSocket API access for liquidity providers and automated market makers.
