FAQ

Is PuntersEdge a full sports-data provider like SportsDataIO?

No — it's focused on Australian bookmaker odds, best-price comparison, racing and arbitrage/value signals, rather than broad stats across global leagues.

Does it cover Australian racing?

Yes — a next-to-go endpoint for horse and greyhound racing, which US-centric providers usually don't prioritise.

Is there a free tier?

Yes, 1,500 credits/month, no credit card; paid plans from $9/month.

How AU-deep is the bookmaker coverage?

AU-first across the major local books, for AFL, NRL, tennis, cricket and racing.
