BETDAQ

About Betdaq

Betdaq is headquartered in Dublin and is the world’s second largest betting exchange, with around 7% of the global market and more than £75 million worth of bets handled a week.  Between 2013 and 2021, Betdaq was owned by Ladbrokes (which after a series of M&A became Entain plc) but it has now been sold back to its original owner Dermot Desmond, an Irish businessman whose interests extend well beyond the realms of sport and iGaming.

Betdaq has sponsored various football teams and also Kempton Park Racecourse, but not recently.

Games At Betdaq

Betdaq’s slot and casino provision is courtesy of the Evolution Group, which means that they have around 300 slot games by NetEnt and Red Tiger, and live casino by Evolution.  It’s quite rare in this day and age to find a casino that works with just one game provider, but they’ve certainly chosen a good one.

• From NetEnt there’s many old favourites (and their sequels) like Asgardian Stones, Blood Suckers, Dazzle Me, Dead or Alive, Fruit Shop, Hotline, Secret of the Stones, Steam Tower, Twin Spin and of course those perennially popular games Starburst and Gonzo’s Quest.
• From Red Tiger there’s Reel King Mega, Mystery Reels, Dragon’s Lukc, Piggy Riches Megaways, Dragon’s Luck Power Reels, Tiki Fruits, Well of Wishes, Gonzo’s Quest Megaways, Pirates Plenty Battle for Gold, Treasure Mine, Rocket Men and dozens of others.  While you might expect these games to be part of a daily jackpots setup, at Betdaq they are in non jackpot versions.
• From Evolution, there’s a great selection of live casino games including various versions of blackjack, roulette and poker .  And there’s several game shows including Cash or Crash, Mega Ball, Crazy Time, Funky Time, Monopoly Big Baller and Extra Chilli Epic Spins.  Many of these games are also available in First Person versions for players who aren’t keen on live dealer games.

The NetEnt and Red Tiger back catalogues have a huge variety of games so you should easily be able to find something you enjoy playing.

Other Things To Consider

As its name suggests (it’s a play on Nasdaq, a US stock exchange where the “daq” stands for “dealers automated quotations”) Betdaq is first and foremost a betting exchange.  If you’d like to be able to place bets in this way (or take the opposing position), Betdaq is an excellent alternative to Betfair, and you can also place regular bets on a wide range of sports events.  Uniquely, Betdaq offers both regular and exchange betting on virtual horse racing, greyhound racing and soccer as well as on real events.

Should you want to take a deeper dive into the world of exchange betting, Betdaq offers a range of free trading software tools and the Betdaq Tips site where traders share their thoughts and data on upcoming events.

Betdaq has Apple and Android apps but only for Exchange and Sportsbook (an app for each).  If you want to play slot and casino games from your phone you’ll need to visit the Betdaq website from your phone’s web browser.

Final Thoughts

For players who like the combo of casino and sportsbook, Betdaq goes above and beyond by offering exchange betting too.  If you’re not put off by the relatively restricted range of games (and some players undoubtedly will be, especially if they dislike NetEnt or Red Tiger) it’s a great little casino that’s well worth checking out.
