From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the British betting exchange known as World Bet Exchange. For the song by Aya Kamiki and Takuya Asanuma, see W-B-X (W-Boiled Extreme). For the carrier hotel, see Westin Building.
World Bet Exchange (WBX) was a person-to-person betting exchange based in Notting Hill Gate, London in the United Kingdom, and licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. WBX.com was founded in 2002 by Malcolm Gray but did not officially launch until November, 25th, 2006. In an interview prior to launch, Gray was quoted as saying: "In an industry where the current market leader has a virtual monopoly, we believe the arrival of WBX will put every exchange player back in control. We will continually seek to offer a vibrant, exciting and innovative alternative to Betfair, and we hope this will promote healthy rivalry."[1] On 16 March 2015 the company announced that it was shutting, effective 5pm the same day.[2]
