One of Scotland's most effective technology groups is [starting](https://bence.net/read-blog/6365_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html) again with a new company - and has secured the greatest initial financial investment of any [British start-up](https://hyped4gamers.com/read-blog/2416_missouri-sports-betting-ballot-measure-approved-by-voters.html) company.
+
BetDEX is being led by Nigel Eccles, who co-founded fantasy [sports betting](https://followmylive.com/read-blog/19561_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-united-states-after-sports-wager-ruling.html) wagering site FanDuel in 2009 in Edinburgh.
+
The has seed financing of $21m.
+
It intends to release a new open source software application platform, on which others can innovate in [sports betting](http://1600-6765.com/board_fyUJ95/176173), in the very first half of next year.
+
The [business](https://bytes-the-dust.com/index.php/User:JimJenkinson549) is recruiting staff from a base in Scotland.
+
FanDuel was sold to Flutter - previously called Paddy Power Betfair - in 2018 and is now worth more than $30bn.
+
However, Mr Eccles and other co-founders are in legal dispute with FanDuel's later phase investors over the way in which they structured a takeover, which left the Edinburgh group without a share of the [increasing valuation](https://maxmeet.ru/read-blog/74_things-you-need-to-learn-about-rafting-adventures).
+
Mr Eccles stated that one thing he gained from the [FanDuel experience](http://www.seferpanim.com/read-blog/378_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-delay-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) was to pick financiers thoroughly.
+
He told BBC Scotland: "We took a lot of lessons from that, among which was the significance of who we select as investors in this brand-new business, to ensure their worths are lined up with ours, that they take their fiduciary duties responsibly, and that they're the ideal partners for us."
+
The $21m seed financing for BetDEX consists of stakes taken by 7 [backers](https://www.characterlist.com/read-blog/840_how-much-are-americans-investing-in-sports-betting.html) of US innovation firms, consisting of two big funds - Paradigm and FTX - which specialise in buying companies [running](https://social.engagepure.com/read-blog/821_exploring-the-sports-betting-industry-putting-ideas-into-practice.html) with [crypto-currencies](http://video.firstkick.live/read-blog/4662_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html).
+
Varun Sudhakar, president of BetDEX, said: "The [sports betting](https://derivsocial.org/read-blog/6993_things-you-need-to-learn-about-rafting-adventures.html) wagering industry charges high costs for bad products and limits trades by its most successful users.
+
"BetDEX is [diametrically opposed](https://letustalk.co.in/read-blog/11472_tennessee-sports-betting-top-4-legal-betting-sites-in-2024.html) to this [approach](https://chateando.net/read-blog/229_sport-betting-industry-wants-to-protect-itself.html). We will successfully contend against [incumbents](http://woorichat.com/read-blog/10318_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html) with a [markedly exceptional](https://cheere.org/read-blog/36227_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html) item and low costs, which is now possible with the introduction of the [blockchain technology](https://customerscomm.com/read-blog/3718_how-to-attract-users-to-my-fantasy-sports-platform.html)."
+
As chairman of the new firm, Mr Eccles stated it might look familiar to retail punters utilized to existing online firms.
+
'Pool of talent'
+
However, he says that those who use its platform to run their own [sports betting](https://sundaycareers.com/read-blog/2754_sport-betting-industry-aims-to-protect-itself.html) firms will have the ability to innovate and create a wider variety of wagering products.
[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG) +
He stated the normal share taken by online bookmakers is 7% to 10% of a stake, but BetDEX should allow for that to fall listed below 1%.
+
The company will develop its own [sports betting](https://metacouture.co/read-blog/24232_score-big-wins-how-sports-betting-software-drives-growth-and-engagement.html) apps to run on the platform.
[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG) +
Mr Eccles stated these would take an "intelligent, thoughtful" technique to the way they are marketed to secure those who have problem with issue gaming.
+
He said the group of around 500 software application engineers who assisted build FanDuel from Scotland revealed that it remains the location to build a firm. BetDEX has the same head of technology, Stuart Tonner.
+
"A great deal of that [FanDuel] success was [constructed](https://friendspo.com/read-blog/28891_just-how-much-are-americans-investing-in-sports-betting.html) on a highly competent, extremely talented engineering team, that [constructed](https://lovn1world.com/read-blog/2414_missouri-sports-betting-ballot-measure-approved-by-voters.html) this [product](https://app.deepsoul.es/read-blog/384_sport-betting-industry-seeks-to-protect-itself.html) that might process countless bets and countless users.
+
"There's a genuine talent pool of knowledgeable engineers who helped us develop our item which's what we wish to take advantage of for BetDEX also."
