Betdaq Betting Exchange

Betdaq

Betdaq is a betting exchange that offers punters an alternative to the average bookie in that they provide an environment in which members can bet against each other, resulting in odds as much as 20% better than you'd expect to find at most bookmakers. This is great for sports lovers who are keen to get the absolute best price on their bets, with the added bonus of lower commissions than other similar sites currently charge.

User interface

When you arrive at the Betdaq website, you're immediately greeted by a very vibrant purple theme. If purple really isn't your thing, don't worry, you can change it! What you'll notice next is the clean and logical layout of the home page, with sport types and special bets listed down the left hand side, events starting soon down the right and top betting opportunities and in-running events listed by sport type in the middle. Choosing specific events is a clean and tidy process too, with everything laid out in a way you'd expect. If you're not familiar with betting exchanges, Betdaq have a number of pages within the help section that guide you through the process, step by step, using explanations and demos. If you're looking for some background reading or the latest info on your favourite team, it's worth having a browse through BetdaqExtra and for a more interactive experience, check out the members forum where you'll find active discussion and useful information.

Markets

While Betdaq may not have quite as many markets available as some of the other betting exchanges, they do still have a good selection, including football, golf, horseracing, NFL, cricket, darts, rugby, tennis and special bets such as X Factor and I'm A Celebrity. Betdaq also offers in-running markets for a variety of televised events for added excitement. Try to lose the habit of looking for a welcome bonus as you won't find one at Betdaq. Instead, their selling point is in charging lower commissions than you'd find at, say, Betfair, who charge 5% compared to Betdaq's 2%, a big incentive for those looking for an alternative to Betfair.

Customer service and payment methods

If you come across any problems or have any questions you need answered, it's well worth your while checking out Betdaq's detailed help centre. For more pressing issues or immediate assistance, there is an interactive help feature where you can chat to a member of the support team 7 days a week from 10am until 6pm GMT. You can also get support via email and telephone. Accepted deposit methods include most major credit and debit cards as well as e-wallets NETeller and Moneybookers.

Conclusion

If you're looking for a good alternative to Betfair, want to get better odds on your regular bets or simply want to see what these betting exchanges are all about, Betdaq is the place to go. It's clean, simple and easy to use, with plenty of help and guidance, a good selection of betting markets to choose from and some nice little extras thrown in for added enjoyment.
