Smarkets

edit

Smarkets is a sports betting website that makes punting on your favourite events simple and social. Instead of betting against a bookie, with Smarkets you bet against other members. The site is currently in closed beta, but we’re working towards a public release in the near future.

Founded in 2008 by Jason Trost (CEO) and Hunter Morris (CTO), Smarkets’ multi-national team works out of offices in London. Smarkets is backed by a group of private investors.
