The Irish based betting exchange BETDAQ has become the first live UK B2B partner of pool betting operator Colossus Bets, winner of the Betting on Football Best Innovation Award. Colossus Bets gives customers the opportunity to win up to £10,000,000 by giving the correct scores in seven selected matches offered weekly and is the World’s biggest bet.
There are several other options to chose with ‘’Pick 6’’ and ‘’Pick 3’’ categories all with varying amounts on offer. The first BETDAQ Colossus will be available in the opening days of the 2014 World Cup between June 12th and June 14th starting with Brazil’s opening game against Croatia with England against Italy being the deciding match on Saturday 14th June. BETDAQ users will have the ability to bet on the Colossus without leaving the BETDAQ site.
Lewis Findlay, MD of BETDAQ, said: “With the £10,000,000 Colossus on offer every few days of the World Cup, our clients can win £10,000,000 on a jackpot every time England plays, so we are greatly looking forward to providing our betting exchange customers with this proposition which is truly unique and ground-breaking for this World Cup and into next season’s Premier league.”
Bernard Marantelli, founder and CEO of Colossus Bets added: “I’m delighted that one of world’s leading betting exchanges, BETDAQ, has become our first UK B2B partner. With our products, BETDAQ has the ability to offer their exchange customers, unprecedented lottery-sized football jackpots and our patented Fractional Cash-In feature, a world first in betting.
“Fractional Cash-In allows players to bank profits on part of a ‘live’ ticket whilst retaining the remaining part of the ticket to play for a corresponding share of the jackpot prize and should become industry standard given the ever increasing popularity of multiples and in-play betting.”
Along with the integration of Colussus Bets to the site, BETDAQ also have various offers available for the World Cup which are not all exclusive to the World Cup.
The Exchange is expanding to offer 0% Commission on all Multiples during the World Cup period. In addition to this, BETDAQ is looking to ‘Zero in on the World Cup’ offering 0% Commission on all World Cup Correct Score Markets and all World Cup matches that finish nil all.
