ArbVantage wrote this comparison, so we are a party to it. We compare only facts you can check yourself, name the source and date for each, and don't link to other providers. Where Outplayed doesn't publish something, we say so.
What Outplayed is
According to its website, Outplayed offers training and software for matched betting: you use free bets and bonuses from bookmakers and cover them with an opposing bet, classically a lay bet at a betting exchange. Its tools include a matched betting calculator, an oddsmatcher, a BOG catcher, a price boost tracker and a bet builder finder, and in higher tiers tools such as 2UP Master, Extra Place Master, Lucky Finder, Edge Finder, Golf Master and Steam Chaser.
Outplayed and OddsMonkey belong together. The footers of both websites name Liquidity Trading Limited, and industry reports say the two services combined in December 2024. The tiers are very similar: Outplayed's annual prices for Platinum and Diamond match those of Starter and Advanced at OddsMonkey, and the Elite tools carry the same names at both. The comparison with the sister service is in OddsMonkey vs ArbVantage.

The methods compared: covering a bonus or using a price difference
In matched betting the edge comes from the offer. An example without an exchange, covering at a second bookmaker:
Bookmaker A offers 4.00 on player 1, bookmaker B offers 1.30 on player 2. Covering stake at B = 20 × (4.00 − 1) ÷ 1.30 = €46.15.
Player 1 wins: €60 from the free bet, minus €46.15 lost at B = +€13.85. Player 2 wins: 46.15 × 1.30 = €60.00 back, minus the €46.15 stake = also +€13.85.
That works once per offer. With a sure bet the edge comes from the price itself: if A offers 2.05 on player 1 and B 2.05 on player 2, €100 on each side returns €205 either way, +€5 on €200. That can repeat as long as price differences appear and your accounts aren't limited.
Both examples only hold if every bet is accepted at the odds shown and stands. Real results vary and can be negative. If a bookmaker passes the Austrian 5% betting fee on to you, include it. More in arbitrage vs matched betting.
What is usable in Austria and Slovakia
- UK offers: the guides and offer lists cover UK bookmakers. A UK bookmaker account usually requires UK residence; check each bookmaker's terms.
- No exchange: the Betfair Exchange and Matchbook don't accept residents of Austria or Slovakia. See betting exchanges.
- Different duties: the Austrian betting fee of 5% of the stake (since 1 April 2025) doesn't appear in UK calculators. See Austria betting tax.
- Language and currency: the interface is in English and prices are in pounds.
Getting around country blocks with a VPN or someone else's address breaks bookmaker terms and can cost you your balance. We don't recommend it.
Strengths and limits of both services
What Outplayed does well: for UK bettors it is a comprehensive package of training, offer lists and many specialist tools, with casino offers from Diamond and a money-back guarantee on Platinum. Platinum is explicitly labelled as the tier for beginners, and paid annually it works out at about £20.83 a month (£249.99 ÷ 12), well below ArbVantage's monthly price.
What ArbVantage does differently: a German and Slovak interface, Austrian and Slovak bookmakers pre-selected, no exchange needed and a full 14-day trial. iOS and Android apps are in development.
Where ArbVantage offers less: sure bets are pre-match only, there are no casino offers and no annual plan, and our data provider doesn't yet cover every bookmaker used in Austria; tipp3, Admiral, Interwetten and bet-at-home are not in the feed yet.
Which suits whom
- Outplayed suits you if you live in the UK, have an exchange account and want to use UK sports and casino offers with English guides.
- ArbVantage suits you if you bet from Austria or Slovakia, want to manage without an exchange and want to find sure bets and middles at your own bookmakers.
