The new and improved Betfair Mobile Exchange: Have you switched yet?

Exchange+ is the new generation of the Betfair Exchange market page, with a host of improvements and new features. Our Product team has the lowdown...

Your Exchange+

We know that a lot of customers like to configure their market view and get things just right. Here's a lowdown of the settings we now offer on Exchange+.

You can access all of these through the Settings link in the top right. More options become available when you are logged in.

• You can change the refresh rate through the Betting tab which allows you to enable price updates every second. We'd also recommend turning off "Highlight when odds change" if you do this, to avoid the market view flashing rapidly.
• You can turn off the Games modules, on the "Other" tab. This gives you more room in the betslip and removes some of the gaming elements from the Exchange pages
• If you bet on racing, you can turn off the race card info. This will hide the silks and other information - this gives more room for your P&L to be displayed, so the market grid doesn't have to move around.
• If you want to quickly navigate around the site, turn off "Display Sport Zones". Now if you want to navigate from a race to tonight's football, the page won't refresh at every step along the way and you can save valuable seconds.
• To make sure you're using the new Exchange+, make sure you are in the market page shown in the picture below:

What is Exchange+?

It is the new version of the Market View and introduces a lot of new features. Over the past few months, we've made this new market page available to our most loyal customers who bet on Horse Racing and Football markets.

After really positive feedback, we've continued our migration process and we made this the default market page for both Greyhounds and Tennis markets last month. Now, Exchange+ is the default market page for all Exchange markets using the new website.
