About CTBAPI

CTBAPI is an account-opening and support service for online sports betting. We are not a bookmaker and we do not run a betting platform of our own.

What CTBAPI does

Sharp betting platforms are often difficult to join directly. Some do not accept registrations from every country, some require a local payment method the customer does not have, and most offer no support in Chinese. CTBAPI exists to bridge that gap: we arrange access to established betting platforms and handle the account setup and funding around them.

The platforms we work with are:

Pinnacle (ps3838.com) — soccer and general sports. Pinnacle is known for low margins, high limits, and a stated policy of not restricting winning accounts.
CITIbet — a horse racing exchange widely used for Hong Kong racing, where you bet against other customers rather than a bookmaker.
Great Wall (长城 / ct88.net) — offered primarily to Chinese-language customers.

Accounts are funded and settled in USDT. See our guide to USDT deposits for how stablecoin transfers work.

What CTBAPI is not

This distinction matters, so we will be blunt about it. CTBAPI does not hold a bookmaker's licence, does not set odds, does not accept or settle bets, and does not operate a casino. Your bets are placed on the underlying platform, and that platform's terms govern them. We are the layer that gets you onto it and helps when something goes wrong.

We do not sell tipping services, guaranteed-win systems, or betting predictions. Anyone promising you a guaranteed profit from gambling is misleading you.

Who uses CTBAPI

Most of our customers are experienced bettors rather than casual punters — people who care about closing-line value, want limits that will not be cut after a winning week, and who already know what an Asian handicap is. A large share are Chinese-speaking customers using the arbitrage and follow-betting vocabulary (打水, 扫货, 挂马, 跟单) that our Chinese-language page describes.

Legality and your responsibility

Online gambling law differs in every jurisdiction and changes over time. Some countries permit it under licence, some restrict advertising, and some prohibit it outright — online gambling is illegal in mainland China, for example.

You are responsible for knowing and following the law where you live. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and we cannot assess your situation for you. If you are unsure whether using an offshore betting platform is lawful for you, seek independent advice before opening an account.

Getting in touch

We work through messaging rather than a ticketing system — most questions are answered the same day. Reach us on Telegram, WhatsApp, or WeChat (yehsu1991). Full details are on our contact page, and common questions are answered in the FAQ.

Please read our responsible gambling page before you start. Betting should be affordable entertainment, and it stops being that quickly if it is not managed.
