An Overview
Very few people would know that Betdaq is a betting exchange that is as old as Betfair. It has been around since 2000, and for some reason, it has fallen behind its biggest rival. However, 25 years later, it still boasts a great website with millions of active monthly customers. This makes it a great alternative to its more well-known rival.
Betting and winning limits
Since Betdaq offers both fixed odds and exchange betting, we need to break the site down to provide information on betting and winning limits.
- Fixed odds betting limits. Similar to other bookies, betting and winning limits depend on the match. Big matches can see win limits of up to $1,000,000 or currency equivalent. This is not unexpected, given that Betdaq is a destination for bettors with deep wallets.
- Exchange betting limits. If you know how betting exchanges work, you know that betting limits depend on the value of the stakes that are matched. The more players you have betting against you, the higher the betting limit and thus the higher the potential winnings. In theory, there is no ceiling on these amounts as Betdaq will get paid a commission on net winnings. Remember, with betting exchanges, you don’t bet against the house but against other players.
Odds and payouts analysis
Again, we must split this into the fixed odds and betting exchange parts of the site.
- Betdaq Fixed Odds Margins: There is nothing spectacular or fancy here. Betdaq operates a typical sportsbook with a strong emphasis on good pricing (4%-5% margin on the main markets for major events). Expect no surprises and an offering that’s very much in line with industry standards.
- Betdaq Exchange Odds Margins: The betting exchange odds are a completely different story. This is a dynamic area defined by the powers of supply and demand. We observed the odds around big game nights and saw pricing similar to Betfair’s.
Welcome Bonuses and Other Promotions
Given Betdaq’s reputation and huge brand name, we had higher hopes for the promotions page. We were expecting a densely populated section full of surprises. Unfortunately, this is one of the areas of criticism that we couldn’t neglect in our Betdaq review.
Website graphics and functionality
If you have read the other bookmaker reviews on Easybet.com, you have probably noticed that we love simple yet well-designed and intuitive websites. Betdaq does exactly that! It’s a clear website with no unnecessary tools, links, or add-ons.
All the menus are positioned in such a way that players can’t get confused. Considering that a betting exchange nowadays features much more than exchange betting markets, the smart use of vertical and horizontal menus becomes necessary.
We particularly enjoyed the simple three-step registration process and the ease of depositing money too.
Deposit and withdrawal methods on Betdaq Sports Betting
First, we need to clarify that Betdaq doesn’t accept payments in cryptocurrencies. However, there are plenty of other payment methods available, including:
- Cards
- Skrill
- Neteller
- PayPal
- Bank Transfer
All these methods are also available for withdrawals, except PayPal. Please note that only Visa and Mastercard are accepted for Betdaq.com sports betting. American Express and Diners are not accepted.

Betdaq Casino and Other Products
Betdaq is all about sports betting and trading on sports. This means that the casino is not a priority. Casino games are available but are provided by fewer providers than we have seen on other betting sites online. We saw games mainly from NetEnt and Evolution Gaming, including the famous live dealers from the latter. This might not be the perfect proposition for a modern gambler, but it is still enough for times when there is no sporting action.
Conversely, the Virtuals page is very comprehensive. There are three different types of Horse Racing virtual game (flats, jumps, chase), Soccer, and Greyhounds, with the latest graphics and action available around the clock.
