There seem to be more and more sites popping up that are clearly linked to Betfair at the back end, but not the front. I thought it may be interesting to list them: -

Betfair 'partner' sites

Had a quick look at Orbit Exch on the Del Porto vs Isner match. As at 19:43 Orbit shows a greater matched amount than bf exchange (4.3m vs 4m) and the prices out out by a few ticks (currently higher but has been lower... Have some serious doubts about the effectiveness of the refresh button )

I looked at the orbit one a while back and in the regs it was mentioning PC charges may be levied. Be interesting to see just how much of a link they actually have to betfair. Could be simply operating on sub accounts from a master account like some of the Russian betting agents seemed to do.
The new web API they released is limited to logging in to your own account and placing bets. These sites break every rule in the book, with you placing bets through them you are circumventing their KYC requirmenets / PC rules etc.

If the bets are going into the Betfair exchange pool it'd be easy enough for Betfair to shut down their accounts API access.
