These answers are grouped by what you are trying to do: understand the exchange, find the right market, open an account and move money. Each links back to a fuller page if you want more detail.
The first group is about the exchange itself and what back and lay mean. The second covers cricket and the other sports. The third deals with accounts and dealers. The fourth covers payments and records. Where a question cannot be answered from published information, the answer says so instead of guessing.
These figures are counted from what guides describe, not estimated. They are not a measure of popularity or size.

The cricket page and glossary explain how markets work with examples.
Check the legal page and the law where you live. This guide cannot give legal advice.

No standard time is published for deposits or withdrawals.
No consistent official minimum or maximum exists.
Sources disagree about identity checks, so ask your dealer.
A short comparison clears up the most common confusion between a betting exchange and an ordinary bookmaker site.
On an exchange you bet against other users. At a bookmaker you bet against the house.
Exchange prices come from user offers. A bookmaker sets its own.
You can back or lay on an exchange. A bookmaker usually offers only the back side.
One dealer guide says dealers usually charge a commission of 2% to 5% on net winnings. Ask your dealer for the full cost of betting with them, because the commission is not the only figure to check. At a bookmaker the margin sits inside the price.
If you read nothing else on this page, keep these four points in mind before you place any bet or send any money.
Your liability on a lay bet can be larger than the stake you see, and at long prices it can be several times that stake.
There is no public sign-up form, so a dealer has to open it.
Payments go through the dealer, so records matter.
Prices reflect other bettors and any bet can lose.
Short answers to the questions readers ask most often.
A betting exchange where users place back or lay bets against other users rather than against the house.
A back bet is for an outcome to happen. A lay bet is against it, and your liability can exceed your stake.
Pre-match bets such as toss, match winner and top batsman, live ball-by-ball betting and fancy markets.
Yes, football and tennis are named alongside cricket.
A dealer creates each account and sends credentials over WhatsApp. There is no public sign-up form.
Payments run through your dealer. The routes guides name most often are JazzCash, Easypaisa and bank transfer.
