BETDAQ, the global betting exchange, has announced it will go commission-free on all matches at Euro 2020.

As part of its Euros offering, BETDAQ will be 0% commission on every one of the 51 matches throughout the tournament as it reaffirms its drive to boost liquidity while continuing to offer a competitive commission rate versus its competitors. The 0% rate applies to all new and existing customers.

In addition, BETDAQ has signed a partnership with former Premier League referee Mark Halsey, who will act as the company’s brand ambassador throughout the competition. Halsey will produce regular blogs on BETDAQ’s content site, Betdaqtips, and will also feature in social video content where he will offer his unique refereeing insights on all the big decisions and talking points.

BETDAQ’s Head of Marketing Mark Harkin said: “At BETDAQ we are always striving to provide the best possible product we can, so we’re delighted to announce that we’re going commission-free on all Euro 2020 matches to all new and existing customers.

“Fans across the continent have been waiting for a year for the tournament to get underway and as a result we’re expecting it to be very popular with punters, while we’ve further enhanced our offering by signing up Mark Halsey as a brand ambassador.

“Mark will be able to offer some really interesting views on many of the key topics throughout the competition and we’re very excited to have him on board.”

Mark Halsey, BETDAQ’s Euro 2020 brand ambassador, said: “I’m really looking forward to working with BETDAQ for the Euros, where I’ll be offering my opinions on some of the tournament’s key decisions and talking points. The landscape of refereeing has changed a lot in recent years and with VAR now ingrained within the game, I’m sure there will be plenty of flash points to discuss over the coming weeks.”

Bronze card has been claimed during the group stage; silver and gold prizes remain available until 31 July.

Tonybet said it has paid out its first major prize in its World Cup Card Collection campaign for Canadian customers (excluding Ontario), after a player secured the promotion’s bronze card worth $15,000 CAD.

The operator said the World Cup Card Collection includes 51 cards to collect during the tournament: 48 digital cards tied to participating World Cup nations, plus three unique cards—gold, silver and bronze—linked to a $150,000 CAD total prize fund.

According to Tonybet, the bronze card has been available through the World Cup’s group stage and has now been claimed. The silver card is available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals, while the gold card is held back for the closing semi-finals and final.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “With Canada co-hosting the World Cup for the first time, the tournament has felt closer to home than ever before for Canadians, and it has already delivered a moment most supporters could only dream about with the national team advancing to the knockout stages.

“For one lucky Canada supporter, it has now produced another story that will be worth retelling long after the final whistle has gone – with our lucky winner among the first Tonybet customers to win one of the unique cards in our World Cup Card Collection, taking home a cool $15,000 for managing to get his hands on bronze. Who will end up with silver and gold?”

Tonybet said the same three unique cards are also in circulation across its other markets, with varying outcomes so far. The World Cup Card Collection campaign runs until 31 July, with a $150,000 CAD prize pool for Canada and separate prize pools in other markets.
