What is Betdaq all about?
Bonuses
Betdaq’s welcome bonuses are great if you’re an exchange bettor, but may take some getting used to for those who just want to bet fixed odds. At the time of our review, the only usable option for fixed-odds bettors was their ‘bet £10, get £10 on virtuals’ offer for virtual sports bets.
Available sports
Betdaq has all of the big sports covered in its A-Z list and even has a nifty ‘popular links’ list which allows the bettor to interact with the most bet on markets of the moment. However, the overall package of sports and markets is a little limited and doesn’t feature too many niche sports like handball, floorball or trotting that other bookies offer.
User experience and interface
The best way to describe Betdaq’s website is clear and functional. You can switch between the exchange and the fixed-odds betting site (they call it their sportsbook) by choosing the relevant tab at the top of the site and the website has the core functionality needed, though the interface could be modernised, compared to many of the top fixed-odds sites serving the UK market.
Mobile and app compatibility
Betdaq offers two sports betting apps, one for the exchange and one for fixed-odds betting. We reviewed the fixed-odds app, and found that to be functionally excellent, despite having the same limitations as the website in terms of the number of sports and markets available. The ratings have been mixed but with both apps only having had a handful of reviews it doesn’t necessarily mean this is a fair reflection of the overall experience.
App Store: 4.2/5 stars (5 ratings)
Google Play: 2.1/5 stars (10 reviews)
VIP programmes and loyalty rewards
During our review, we were unable to find a VIP or rewards programme for Betdaq.
