BETDAQ - A New Dawn

[JamesGalvin]

Hi guys,

Just to let anyone who knows me and for those who want to, I have left the world of Agency and have moved client side to the exciting world of Exchange Betting with BETDAQ.

We currently run on TradeDoubler and offer £20 bounty on a minimum of £20 or more on the first matched bet.

If you want to know more about BETDAQ or Exchange Betting in general, feel free to drop me a line.

I would also love to talk to any affiliates who have promoted us in the past or have yet to give us a go - drop me a line to jgalvin@betdaq.com

Thanks for your time!

Kind regards,

James Galvin
Online Marketing Manager
BETDAQ - The Betting Exchange

James, is there any chance you can get BETDAQ working on a Mac through Safari, I'm just left with a message advising me that BETDAQ recommends I use Windows. Harsh.

Hi mate,

Thanks for the heads up - I wasn't aware of that issue. I'll have a chat with the techies internally and see what I can find out.

Cheers,

James

Cheers James, will keep an eye on this thread...

Hi mate,

Here's the feedback from our development team:

"There are currently enhancements in testing that will allow Betdaq to be viewed on Safari. This is scheduled to be available for production by end of month. Apple users can access the Betdaq site with Firefox 2.0 on the Macs"

Hope that helps.

Excellent, will take a look and see if there are some opportunities to promote BETDAQ on my site...Cheers.

Hi James


I think more affiliates would be interested in giving Betdaq a go on their sites if you were to offer a Free Bet.

Even a £10 Free Bet with say a reduced CPA but tiered CPA for larger sign up numbers.

Even better if free bet was exclusive to affiliates and not available via Betdaq main site.

While were at it a 5 year cookie would be good too!

A good landing page confirming free bet details always helps conversions also.

Worth a try, mention it at your next meeting.

Hi Andy,

I'm sure a 5 year cookie would be great for affiliates, but its unlikely I could ever justify it internally.

As for a free bet offer we've only ever done this offline as a one-off through the Racing Post. However, as like all things a justification process needs to be adhered to but please be assured I'm aware of its attraction and value.

As for landing pages this is an area which I am currently looking into and will hopefully have some progress on over the next few weeks.

My intention is to make our affiliate channels more competitive, more compelling and much more fresh. Hopefully you will see that as my time here progresses.

Thanks for the feedback.

James

Yeah Id only be happy to promote Betdaq if a free bet was offered, iv seen codes about the net, but not sure if they are affiliate specific?

This you've seen is probably the redemption code that was lifted from the print ad - which in turn skews our figures for the effectiveness of that particular campaign. I understand why they've done it and would love to be in a position to offer them an alternative - but as I say, its something I think I have to work on in justifying internally.
