We are writing to let you know about changes that will be taking place on 1st December 2021 which will affect the use of your BETDAQ account.
On 30th November 2021 at 23:59, we will be transferring the licensed operation of BETDAQ from LC International Limited to Exchange Platform Solutions Limited, which will then be sold and cease to be part of the wider Entain group.
To ensure that our customers understand what will be taking place, we have set out some frequently asked questions below.
What happens on 1st December 2021?
When you login on or after 1st December 2021, you will see a pop-up box with an acceptance prompt. In order to continue using your BETDAQ account, you will need to click to confirm you agree to the updated Terms and Conditions that you will enter into with Exchange Platform Solutions Limited.
You will not be able to access your BETDAQ account after this date, until you have agreed to the updated Terms and Conditions. Should you agree, your use of your BETDAQ account will then continue as normal.
Does this change affect the way my funds are protected?
No. Your funds will have the same level of protection and will still be safeguarded in the same way.
Your funds, which are currently held on LC International Limited’s behalf by Ladbrokes Trustee Company Limited, will be transferred to BETDAQ Trustee Company Limited, which will hold your funds in a segregated bank account on behalf of Exchange Platform Solutions Limited, in accordance with the British Gambling Commission’s requirements at the level of medium protection.
What happens if I don’t agree to the updated Terms and Conditions?
In order to continue using your BETDAQ account you must agree to the updated Terms and Conditions.
If, upon logging in to your account, you elect not to agree to the updated Terms and Conditions, your BETDAQ account will be closed and your existing customer agreement with LC International Limited will be terminated. BETDAQ will then attempt to return any cash balance to the most recent payment method registered on your account within 72 hours, subject to the existing Terms and Conditions. You can also contact BETDAQ Customer Services via [email protected] to arrange for the manual return of your funds.
Any outstanding bets or offers (including further balances resulting from such offers) for closed accounts shall be managed in accordance with the account closure process outlined in the existing Terms and Conditions.
Will I see a change on my bank statements?
Yes. From 1 December 2021, should you deposit to your BETDAQ account, you will see Exchange Platform Solutions Limited appear on your bank statements instead of LC International Limited.
Will I still be able to view details of old bets, deposits and withdrawals?
Yes. Your account history will be available in the same way as it is today.
Does this change affect any settings I have on my account?
No. Your account settings will remain unchanged.
What will happen to my personal data?
On 1st December 2021, your personal data will transfer from LC International Limited to Exchange Platform Solutions Limited, which will be the new controller of your data from this date. Exchange Platform Solutions Limited will continue to process your personal data in accordance with the BETDAQ Privacy Notice and the relevant legal basis, being for the performance of a contract, legal and regulatory purposes.
Please note, this change will not affect the way your data is held, and more details of how your data is processed can be found within the BETDAQ Privacy Notice. If you have any questions in relation to the transfer of your personal data, please contact us at [email protected].

I got the same. Doesn't bode well. Why would Ladbrokes group buy it wor 30 mill and dump it? Must have thought it was a good idea to have an exchange at the time. I, like many on here, hoped that they would put money in, build it up and provide Betfair with much needed competition.

I have talked about this on other threads. Dermot Desmond had a buy-back clause in the sale contract, so has exercised that.
If it was Betfair everybody would be cheering, so you should cheer this as well. An independent exchange!!!

Cheers for the clarification.
In 2005 Dermot Desmond said of his Betdaq

This isn't a change of ownership (yet).
Entain PLC (LSE:ENT) owns Ladbrokes which owns Global Betting Exchange Alderney (GBE) which in turn owns Exchange Platform Solutions Limited (EPS).
EPS is the company that actually runs the website and exchange.
In preparations for this EPS applied for and got licenses in September for:
Betting Intermediary (Exchange)
Casino
General betting - Standard
General betting - Virtual
It did not get licenses for Bingo or Pool Betting (Tote type betting) which GBE do have.
It looks like Ladbrokes are preparing to sell, but it could be Bingo, Pool betting or the Exchange.
Personally I think it will be the exchange and the worst possible outcome would be a sale to Betfair.
