Licensing first
Work with brokers registered in the EU or Curacao with a strong AML record. Never skip KYC.
Level 3A · Brokers
Brokers unlock multi-book liquidity without juggling logins.
Brokers help African veterans route stakes to Pinnacle, SBOBET, ISN, and Orbit exchanges. We detail compliance checks, fees, and when to prioritize them over local operators.
Wallet power
One deposit can be spread across multiple books. Perfect for hedging or syndicate allocation.
API & tools
Some brokers provide API endpoints for odds scraping—ideal for traders building automation.
Broker onboarding roadmap
1. Documentation: Prepare passport scans, proof of address, bank reference letters, and source-of-funds statements to fast-track KYC.
2. Funding mix: Decide whether to deposit via wire, fintech wallet, or crypto. Note fees, processing times, and FX spreads for each route.
3. Test orders: Start with micro stakes to learn routing logic. Watch how quickly odds update across connected books before committing large sums.
Choosing the right broker
Licensing: Prefer brokers regulated in the EU, Curacao, or Philippines with robust AML policies.
Liquidity partners: Check which books/exchanges they aggregate (Pinnacle, SBO, Betfair, etc.).
Fees: Compare commission structures, deposit/withdrawal costs, and inactivity fees.
Compliance & documentation
Prepare notarized IDs, bank statements, source-of-funds letters, and tax IDs. Asian brokers often ask for proof of betting history to assess risk. Keep docs updated every six months.
Operational workflow
- Daily: Reconcile broker balances, note limit changes, monitor API/portal messages.
- Weekly: Withdraw profits to secure accounts, audit statements, adjust broker allocations.
- Quarterly: Reevaluate broker performance—speed, support quality, fee efficiency.
Risk controls
Multi-broker strategy: Spread capital across at least two brokers to avoid downtime risk.
Password hygiene: Enforce hardware keys or 2FA; change credentials quarterly.
Backup plan: Maintain contact lists for alternative brokers in case of sudden limit cuts.
Operational safeguards
Access control: Use hardware keys or MFA for broker logins; rotate passwords quarterly.
Statement audits: Export ledgers weekly and reconcile with your own books to catch misgrades.
Exit strategy: Keep a list of backup brokers in case limits tighten or relationships sour.
