no, we support it, there's an api that you can use. Brokerages live off of volume.

IB and sportsbooks are completely different

IB charges you a fee and then matches your trade with someone else. After this trade happens, IB no longer carries any risk

Sportsbooks charge you a fee and then take the other side of your bet themselves
