If you would like to get started betting on football from the UAE, all the top international
sportsbooks listed below accept your registration, but you will need to select another
currency for your betting account as none offer Dirham accounts except for MarathonBet.
Only MarathonBet offers AED accounts. If you choose to open an e-wallet account
as your funding method, ensure you use the same currency for your betting account
to avoid further currency exchange fees.
In other words, your base funding source might be in the Dirham but you will use
the Euro for the e-wallet. Ensure you set your betting account to also use the Euro.
If you set the betting account to third currency, you are creating another opportunity
to pay currency exchange fees, which you should avoid. Dirham-Euro-Euro is far better
than Dirham-Euro-US Dollar. For a more full analysis on the Emirates as a market
for sports betting you may wish to read more from this authority on UAE betting sites.
