Sorry to hear that, how come it got cancelled?

Favorite alternative exchanges? There's too many to list but my favorite has to be either Betsmort or Honest Joe :)

I'm not really sure why it got cancelled to be honest - I had a lucky streak for a while which is only thing I can think of it but I was bringing any serious profit in so seems harsh if thats the reason.

Oh i havent heard of betdaq? Is that better than smarkets?

Betdaq is only the 2nd largest exchange after Betfair been going almost as long.

You can try DMing them on Twitter to ask why they "cancelled" your account, they always reply in minutes. https://twitter.com/BetfairCS

Hasn't Honest Joe closed. Isn't Matchbook also an exchange?

Don't understand why the OP didn't immediately ask Betfair about his account, and any reason for a closure?

The whole thing is odd. Very little information given. And odd the op hadn't heard of Betdaq? Wonder if they're based in the UK? They've been given what they need to do based on the limited info provided. There seems little point in further discussion without more clarification as to why this has come about.
