Best arbitrage betting software: seven arb scanners compared on checkable facts
There is no single best arb scanner for everyone. Someone who wants live arbs needs something different from someone who places two bets calmly after work, and a bettor in Austria or Slovakia needs, above all, the bookmakers they actually hold accounts with. This page lines up seven tools on criteria anyone can check, with a date and a source for every figure.

Criteria and method
This comparison is written by the company behind ArbVantage, one of the tools compared. To keep it fair we compare only objective, verifiable features, give a source for each, and write "not stated" where a provider doesn't publish something. Rows are in alphabetical order, not a ranking. We don't link to other providers; their addresses are listed as text under Sources.
- Date checked: all figures for other providers were read from their own websites (pricing, home and bookmaker pages) on 22 October 2026. Prices and plans change; the provider's current page always wins.
- Price: the monthly price of the cheapest plan and of the plan without limits on sure bets, in euros, without annual discounts.
- Features: pre-match and live arbs, middles, value bets, free version or trial.
- Bookmakers: the number the provider states, and whether common Austrian and Slovak bookmakers appear in its public bookmaker list. A name on a list doesn't prove that the Austrian or Slovak site's odds are read.
- Languages: from the website's language menu.
We did not score what can't be measured fairly from outside, such as how fresh the odds are or how many arbs appear per day. A trial with your own accounts is the best test of that.

One-to-one comparisons: ArbVantage vs RebelBetting, vs BetBurger, vs Surebet.com and vs BreakingBet.
What matters in Austria
For arbs from Austria, the total number of bookmakers a tool reads matters less than how many of them you can actually use. Pinnacle, Betfair Exchange and Matchbook don't accept Austrian residents, and some other brands block Austrian visitors. A big total helps little if the other side of most arbs sits at one of those.
- Who serves Austria: by our research Tipico, Admiral, tipp3 and Bet3000 hold regional (Land) permits for online betting; many others offer betting under an EU licence.
- The 5% Wettgebühr: a fee on stakes owed by the bookmaker. If a bookmaker passes it on, a 2% arb becomes a loss. We price the fee in for bookmakers known to pass it on; none of the bookmakers in today's feed does. Check each bookmaker yourself. See Austria betting tax.
- Our honest position: from Austria, the books in our feed that matter most today are Tipico and William Hill. bet365, bwin, Interwetten, Admiral, tipp3, bet-at-home and Bet3000 are not in the feed yet; they follow with a second odds source. If those books matter more to you than anything else today, a tool with a longer list has the advantage for now.
What matters in Slovakia
In Slovakia only operators licensed by the gambling regulator ÚRHH may offer online betting, and many international brands are on its list of prohibited offers. For arbs that leaves mainly the Slovak licensees such as Tipsport, Fortuna, Niké, DOXXbet, Tipos and SYNOT TIP. Their margins tend to be high, so arbs between them are rarer and smaller.
To be plain about it: ArbVantage doesn't have a Slovak licensee in its feed yet. The interface is available in Slovak; the bookmakers follow with the second odds source. If you want Slovak names in a scanner today, surebets.sk and Surebet.com list all six in our check and BetBurger lists most of them. Tax questions are covered in Slovakia betting tax.
Where the others are stronger
- Live arbs: BetBurger has a dedicated live plan, BreakingBet scans live, Bet Hero offers it in its Pro plan, and live arbs are surebets.sk's main offer. ArbVantage shows pre-match opportunities only, on purpose.
- Number of bookmakers: BetBurger states 600+, Surebet.com 408, Bet Hero and BreakingBet 400+, RebelBetting 120+; surebets.sk names 6 Slovak and 5 Czech bookmakers. ArbVantage reads 36 today.
- Slovak bookmakers: surebets.sk scans all six Slovak licensees we checked, with an interface in Slovak. ArbVantage has none of them in its feed yet.
- Entry price and free versions: Surebet.com and BetBurger have free versions with limits; Surebet.com starts at €29.90 a month and BreakingBet at €6 for 7 days.
- Trial without a card: RebelBetting gives 14 days without a credit card, with a cap on arb size.
- Value bets today: Bet Hero, BetBurger, BreakingBet, RebelBetting and Surebet.com already offer value bets; at ArbVantage they are coming soon.
What a scanner can cost you
A subscription price only means something next to your betting volume. This simple formula shows how much you would need to stake in a month for the fee to be covered:
stake needed = monthly price ÷ average margin
At an average margin of 1% (our model's assumption), a €97 plan needs about 97 ÷ 0.01 = €9,700 in stakes a month to cover the fee. At €29.90 it's about €2,990; at €79.99 about €8,000; at €199 about €19,900.
Assumptions: every bet accepted at the odds shown and not voided, no betting fees, no limits. In practice, odds moves, voids and limits cost margin. Real results vary and can be negative.
If you can only stake small amounts, a cheaper plan or a free version is usually the better fit. Our bankroll guide covers how much money arbs realistically need, and what is a good arbitrage percentage explains which margins are worth taking.
Which tool suits whom
- You want live arbs: BetBurger, BreakingBet or Bet Hero Pro. Live odds change within seconds; it takes experience and fast hands. More in live arbitrage betting.
- You want to look for free first: the free versions of Surebet.com or BetBurger, the free week at surebets.sk, or the trials of RebelBetting and ArbVantage.
- You need as many Austrian or Slovak bookmakers as possible today: Surebet.com listed every name we checked; surebets.sk lists all six Slovak licensees.
- You bet from Austria and want a German interface, arbs and middles in one plan, and only opportunities at your own bookmakers: that is what ArbVantage is built for. Use the trial to check which of your bookmakers are in the feed.
- You want a Slovak interface: ArbVantage and surebets.sk offer one; of the two, only surebets.sk reads Slovak-licensed bookmakers today.
Whatever you choose, no software turns arbs into guaranteed profit. Odds move, bets get voided and accounts get limited. Arbitrage betting risks covers what can go wrong, and sure betting explained the basics.
