The Betfair helpdesk on Twitter reports that it is experiencing a DDoS.

Still very little action on BetDaq, for example only £26.6K currently matched on the West Indies v England test match result with only about £200 waiting.
I thought that business might be booming.

Betdaq lives off bots trading the differences between it and Betfair.

When there's no Betfair the poor old bots are left twiddling their virtual thumbs.

It's really becoming widespread, this sort of thing, I believe even 'Stars had a similar problem last weekend.

Fortunately, poker players are always very understanding & tolerant.
