Wasn’t BetEasy part of Betfair before? Now it’s CrownBet?
Why don’t they just call it Betty von Bettington’s House O’ Better Betting?

The game just changed? Yes, changed to make it just like every other corporate bookie. When this business formed part of Betfair it was certainly the ‘superior betting experience’. You had the best of both worlds – Betting Exchange + Corporate Bookie Products. It was the best betting platform in the market and a clear point of difference but not now. Next will come the Crown credit card just like Ladbrokes and Sportsbet.
