I've not seen this before, but someone on Twitter posted this link www.betfairex.com which takes you directly to the exchange. Assuming this is new, do you think www.betfair.com will remain as it is (i.e. the Sportsbook with a small link to the exchange) and they're about to start using this new address for the exchange?

The www.betfairex.com just redirects to www.betfair.com/exchange anyway JC, the url you use makes no difference whatsoever if they're using the same servers. Any problems they have with the site is due to capacity issues not which url you use to access betfair exchange or otherwise.

But if going forwarded they flipped it so betfairex became the actual host and betfair.com (exchange) started redirecting to the new site, they could have betfair.com in hawaii and betfairex in japan. Although I'm sure login and etc is common but .. they could in some ways split the loading.
