Affiliate Disclosure
Sharp3838.com contains affiliate links. When you open an account with a betting broker through our links, we may earn a commission — typically a share of the turnover generated or a one-time referral fee — at no cost to you. This commission is how we fund the site and keep producing independent, research-backed content.
Our editorial decisions are not influenced by affiliate arrangements. The broker ranking order (BetInAsia, AsianConnect, MadMarket) reflects our assessment of each platform's suitability for the majority of Irish sharp bettors based on features, fees, platform quality, and reliability. We have assessed each broker independently. We only recommend platforms we believe provide genuine value to our readers.
If you believe any content on this site contains a factual error or misleading information, please email us at [email protected] — we take corrections seriously and will investigate promptly.

About Sharp3838
Sharp3838 is an independent educational resource for sports bettors based in Ireland who want to bet at the sharpest possible odds. The site is not a bookmaker, exchange, or broker — we don't take bets or hold any gambling licence. We produce guides, reviews, and comparisons to help experienced bettors navigate the broker ecosystem and access PS3838 (Pinnacle's B2B platform) from Ireland.
If you're new to the site, a good starting point is our guide on what a betting broker is and how they work, followed by the broker comparison page which profiles BetInAsia, AsianConnect, and MadMarket side by side.
