Previously, Betsson offered a standard sportsbook and a betting exchange, where bettors and punters could come together to buy and sell bets. However, they decided to close down their exchange in 2010. They continue to offer sports betting and currently offer over 12,000 different markets to bet upon. The online exchange was the first of its kind, as it offered punters the ability to exchange bets live while the underlying matches were underway.
