Betdaq bonus
Betdaq

Just like Betfair it is licensed and based in the United Kingdom, and follows in its footsteps in servicing the betting community with another betting exchange option. This week I stopped by to take a look and verify if it really is a valid alternative to the ultimate betting exchange system that is Betfair.

Website Presentation

At first I did get blinded by all the purple text coming out at me. The presentation seemed too chaotic. However, I then discovered the ‘My Preferences’ option in a horizontal menu bar at the top of the screen just below the usual ‘username’ and ‘password’ spaces. This gave me access to a wide variety of specifications I could handle to my liking. The 18-item menu allows to modify such details as minimizing the left navigation menu, displaying my balance at all times, displaying expiry time on a bet slip, or setting an own personal staking or liability limit. This definitely made the interface more personalized and adapted to my immediate needs. Betdaq

Better Commission Rates

Apart from a very generous £200 welcoming bonus what would apparently give the edge to Betdaq over Betfair is their more client-friendly commission rates. I cannot deny I was more than thrilled to find out that their charging rates go as far down as less than half those at Betfair. A 3% rate in contrast to one of 5% is more than a fair deal.

In addition, players from the UK and Ireland can opt for a £30 No Lose first bet offer instead of the £200 in free bets on registering their account..

Football Asian Handicaps and More

Personally, I do like to bet on the Asian Handicap market. Betfair were once my obvious choice as they had very good odds and their commission rates, unique for Asian Handicaps, went as low as 1%. Today that promotional policy is no more as they brought all markets in line at 5%.

In this respect Betdaq did entice me to open up an account with them. I did find they were still a little restricted in terms of Asian Handicap options offered but they open up their market much before and this is always a vital feature in betting exchanges.

There is more than just football Asian handicaps at Betdaq, however. Coming up to date with Betfair they also started offering the option for Mutiples. Another product of theirs is 1bet where you can bet just like at a normal bookmaker. A latest addition to their arsenal is Betdaq Games where you can find a lot of casino games and thus completes their portfolio along with their poker section.

Towards the end of 2011 Betdaq has also launched a modern mobile app which has helped them increase their successful venture. There is really nothing missing here. Betdaq is more than up to date with modern day bookmakers, with the added advantage of it being a betting exchange rivaling Betfair's own success.

Online Assistance

They do an average job in assisting their clients, being reachable both by e-mail and by the always trustworthy and efficient ‘Live Chat’ option.

They seemed quite well organized with up to six different e-mail contacts available in order not to cram all information up, yet when I tested them out there were a few e-mail addresses which seemed non-functional as messages kept coming back reporting a fault in their system.

In Conclusion

So is it the ‘new and improved’ Betfair? The 3% commission they charge is a tempting one indeed and would almost get me to call it in their favour. However, Betfair is still one of the giants out there and attracts a large betting community. Their odds are, therefore, still better, and in terms of professionalism you cannot get any better than them. Nonetheless, Betdaq are on the right track and, at least on the Asian Handicap front, they do win it for me with their very early odds and 2% commission.
