Thier results yesterday were ambiguous but when I posted that they didn't include Australia in their list of sustainable markets, they quickly came back and said it was. So I took that as a positive.

Disappointing news Qld :roll:

Maybe they should sort their on-course bookmakers out first who I heard were operating a 145% book at the jump on Wednesday.

Let's just hope Betfair don't make Qld a turnover charge market because that would seriously be going in the wrong direction.

Australian Financial review reports today a tie up between Packer/Crown (owner of Betfair in Australia) and Tripp (BetEasy) for Crown to access Tripp's experience in fixed odds betting. Making a 140% overround - how hard can it be. Hmmmmmm.

Is Betdaq making a comeback? I've been able to get on Betdaq on the web as well as BetdaqBetAngel for a week now...

I tried to signup (Australian resident) and thought I was in until, "Registration from this country not permitted".

Wish they'd come back, they'd just have to incorporate the AUS licence fees, but with NO PC, it'd be a winner :)

The website won't let me sign in even with a ready account - but the BetAngel Betdaq lets me sign in even from Australia. I haven't tried to place a bet yet so lets hope that works!

Let us know how you go? Wouldn't the issue still be in creating an account and depositing money?

I can place a bet over here as I didn't realize I had 32 pence left in the account :lol:

I'm really confused by the whole thing though as there has been no mention that any overseas customer would be able to access Betdaq. Maybe an employee has forgot to switch something off for the past week...

Working again, looks like Royal Ascot without PC is a real possibility.
