If you go to the Betdaq URL you get the following message:
"Ladbrokes plc, one of the world's leading betting and gaming companies, has today (24th January 2013) agreed to acquire the BETDAQ exchange business. The transaction is subject to certain conditions and is expected to complete in late February 2013.
What does this mean for you, our valued members?
Whilst ensuring that the integrity of the exchange is fully protected, we believe that combining the strengths of Ladbrokes with the expertise of BETDAQ will have a hugely positive impact on the betting experience for our customers.
On completion, Ladbrokes will work with BETDAQ to further enhance the competitiveness of the exchange, focusing initially on growing liquidity and event coverage, as well as expanding the range and depth of markets offered.
How to access the website and how to contact us will stay the same, and we will continue to offer our great low commission rates and promotions. We will of course keep you informed of when any key developments or enhancements that may affect you are likely to happen.
Our ultimate ambition is to bring all the great elements of Ladbrokes and BETDAQ together and create an unrivalled betting experience for all our members."
I would assume that they are going to eventually have a fixed odds + betting exchange combination, similar to that what betfair (albeit not very well) is doing.
