ArbMate is an arbitrage betting scanner launched in 2018. It covers both prematch and live surebets, as well as middles and Polish middles. One of its standout features is its flexible subscription model: the basic plan includes a small set of popular bookmakers, and users can add only the bookmakers they actually need instead of paying for access to the entire supported list.

Main features of ArbMate

The scanner operates in two modes – prematch and live. In addition to surebets and ordinary middles, the program also works with polish middles. You can read more about the Polish middles here. In the pure form it is not arbitration, but to try to understand and earn makes sense. Previously polish middles was scanned only by OddStorm. But the subscription to it is so expensive that it was little attractive to most users.

All bookmakers were divided into 2 groups. The first group-must have, mandatory, that is, those bookmakers, accounts which should be at every self-respecting professional. These are WilliamHill, Sbobet, Pinnacle Sports, BWin, Bet365.

By purchasing a subscription, you get access to all arbitration situations, namely arbs, middles and polish middles as prematch and live mode between the listed bookmakers.

The second group of bookmakers is available for an additional fee. Their list is constantly updated. Among the popular bookmakers are MarathonBet, BetFair, Ladrokes, FonBet, SportingBet. The full list is available on the website in the relevant section. The cost of connecting one bookmaker is mainly 3€, but there are bookmakers and more expensive, which will cost 4 € or even 5 €. More expensive than 5€ while bookmakers there.

The creators of ArbMate recommend to use the following bookmakers:

For Live: Sbobet, WilliamHill, Pinnacle, Bet365, Bwin, 188bet, Marathonbet, Unibet.
For Prematch: Sbobet, WilliamHill, Pinnacle, Bet365, Bwin, 188bet, Marathonbet, Unibet, Betfair.

Is this a limitation good or bad?

In our opinion, this is a very good and promising idea. Due to this price restriction, the owners of the service were able to make the subscription price very attractive. And users do not overpay for scanning the bookies they do not need. Still, no one uses all the BM, which are in the issuance of other scanners. Usually, in order not to clog the issue, customers of paid subscriptions set up all sorts of filters. Users of A are spared from this, because in their scan results only the bookmakers they need.

If the list of bookmakers is not the one in which you have an account, then on request support@arbmate.com it can be added for some time if a certain number of users will have such interest. But the list of already scanned offices, which are already 60, is multifaceted enough that almost any user can find their favorites.

What to do if there is a need to change the selected bookmaker from the second, paid list?

Once every 30 days you can change the selected bookmaker similar cost for free. If any of the BM is not available for more than 3 days, it is also free to change to another with the same price connection.

Free access to the arbs found by ArbMate

There is no free trial period here. You can buy a 1-day subscription to get acquainted with the capabilities of the scanner. At the moment, it cost 7 € - it is manageable and not burdensome. Moreover, it is a very rich software product.

As an incentive for the purchase of a weekly or monthly subscription, the service administration can give you access to several (up to five) bonus BM for 24 hours for free. This bonus is given to the user once.

Payment method

You can pay for the selected subscription in several ways.

Skrill
PayPall
Neteller

All these payment systems allow you to work with debit and credit cards.

To suspend an active subscription is impossible. Also, you can not buy an incomplete package, i.e., for example, only arbs or only live bets. By purchasing a subscription, you get access to all scanned arbitration.

Feedbacks of scanner

This scanner was a pleasant discovery for me. The team of creators has a fresh approach; they try to approach the matter unconventionally, and therefore ArbMate is somewhat unlike other programs. The surebets look different, the information is arranged differently, and the overall picture is presented more completely right away. Theoretically, if you really don't want to pay for a subscription and have a lot of free time, you could even try to find the selected surebets yourself, since the scanner shows the match start time and the odds from several bookmakers for each outcome. The only thing is that the team names are hidden. Quite a puzzle for someone with nothing else to do. If you have more important things to do, the subscription here is inexpensive; I took six months at once and recouped it in about 10 days.

The scanner is rather questionable. It is fairly well made and seems convenient, and there are some tutorials for beginners. But who are the surebets themselves even made for? What is the point of providing detailed information, listing percentages, and selecting several bookmakers if there are barely any matches? You go to prematch and see that the top suggestions are games taking place in two weeks. Respect, of course, for the long-term planning. But who needs that? In my view, arbitrage betting works according to a slightly different scheme.

A middling representative of the scanners, with obvious pros and cons. Of the advantages, I like the Chrome extension. It's a kind of intermediate station between Rebel, which even released its own program, and standard programs that work in the browser. To be frank, the extension offers no direct advantages, but at least it convinces you that everything will work faster. There are disadvantages too—very weak equipment specifically needed for arbitrage betting. There are surebets and middles, but the line is weak. Detailed information replaces calculators, but you still have to calculate the stakes manually. Overall, a three. Based on what is available now, a real gem could be made, but the developers are in no hurry to fix the situation.

Арб initially attracted me because among all the bookmakers being scanned, you can select just a few main bookmakers on which to build your strategy. The idea is not bad, but its implementation turned out mediocre. The surebet size suffers because of this, and the same bookmakers keep appearing in the line. Sometimes it seems that you could keep accounts with just two of them and still remain steadily in the black. If so, then why are these scanners needed at all? A dubious proposition. Otherwise, the scanner is not bad; it finds genuinely good options both prematch and live.

There is little good to say. I thought it was some kind of original idea, a new word in surebet scanning, but it turned out to be just a pile of new ideas that still need a lot of work. Despite all these features, such as convenient surebets, extensions, and Polish middles, I did not like using it. The line is weak, the bookmakers are always the same, the surebets are not the strongest, games two weeks ahead constantly hang in prematch, while in live mode there are events that have already ended.

ArbMate is a solid scanner with basic features — a decent pick for beginners. It covers the main sports and popular bookmakers. The interface is clean and simple, so it doesn’t take long to figure out how things work.

On the plus side, it’s affordable, easy to set up, and has enough surebets to get started. You also get filters for minimum profit and stake sizes, which helps narrow things down.

But there are some drawbacks: it’s not very flexible — there’s no advanced filtering by lead types or markets, and no built-in browser for auto-betting. Sometimes the odds update with a delay, and support can be a bit slow to respond (you might need to follow up).

In short: not ideal for advanced strategies, but as a basic tool to get into arbing — it’s not bad at all.
