Betdaq Betting Exchange is delighted to have helped Phil to get an account set up. We believe we are the only alternative to Betfair and we want to build momentum. We take a personal approach to customers. We have an open API and we welcome winners.
I’ve traded on Betfair for 15 years and I’m having my account suspended on the 11th , every £500 deposit sends sirens off at Betfair HQ now! You need to send 5 years of dental records and bank statements off to get a bet on the exchange now, What a mess the gambling industry is!
Betdaq Betting Exchange are one of the few firms in the UK and Irish market where you can pick up the phone and talk to customer service. We also have a compliance team who will phone customers. We believe in a first class customer service which is backed up by our industry

Hi Enda ,
I can’t really know how you go about bridging the gap but I know it’s a couple of years later but I think the new ( old ) ownership should be pushed more
Maybe 0.5 % commission to get liquidity up for 6 months and actually interact and put a bit of passion back
Why not get yourself a Betdaq account while Betfair is not down. 100 days 0%. Before I get people in complaining about liquidity/price we understand some markets are weaker but we have plenty on site still trading strongly like the upcoming Premier League game. The benefit of

Join my "Make Politics Great at Betdaq" campaign. Why throw away an edge by betting Politics at our exchange competitors. Pay no commission at Betdaq on any politics markets until the end of January. Spread the word. I will pick one person who retweets this to get a £100 free bet

Il give you 0% on Betdaq on Politics until the end of the election. In fact I might just make politics 0% until the end of the election. The offer is open to anyone that reads this. Pick the free money up off the floor.

Sure, happy to. I think the commission structure is fine in terms of make versus take volume, but I would further increase the incentives for makers.

Oisin Murphy has 7 rides this evening at Southwell. Prices currently 4.2, 7.8, 6.6, 17.5, 8.6,13,15!! Is this a back or lay for you on Betdaq Betting Exchange? Pay no commission on these markets.
Almost 20k matched on Rachael to have 1 winner in Cork today on Betdaq Betting Exchange. She has 4 rides (including 2 Favs) at prices currently 6.8, 2.19, 6.6, 5.9. Most of the money matched between 1.95-2.05 with an estimated fair value of 1.6.
Interesting thread I was involved in. One user wants free bets from the exchange and the other wants API improvements. These two things are not all that compatible as it is very hard to be carefree with bonuses while offering a true peer to peer exchange. The two customer types

Hi Chris. Smaller independent companies do not have the power to influence the gambling commission in the same way bigger organisations like Flutter can. I think that is just reality.
Why wait until 2025! We are doing our best to do it now. Our API is open to all and we are motivated by driving volume from customers. We are the alternative for Betfair users. Liquidity takes time to grow but hopefully promotions like our 0% Politics help people to see they can

around the ITV Racing coverage of betting. Betting markets are an integral part of the viewing experience and it needs to be treated that way.
I’m pleased to see ITV Racing return to the betting ring with reports on market movers and drifters at York. But let's be clear: it should never take criticism on social media to force the biggest broadcaster in the country to do its job properly. The ITV team should have known
