I'm definitely using the right username and password, as I can log into Betdaq via their website.

Thanks

It means your have a API ban. You can try contacting them ,but they never got back to me so F()ck them.
Which was a shame as i was going to to move a lot of money over for the euros. There bigger jokers than betfair.

Thanks Dabbla

My initial impressions are that they aren't a very professional bunch. I asked them to reset my password. They gave me a temporary password that no hacker would ever guess: betdaq123 :lol:

I concur regarding Betdaq, they are woefully organised and give the impression that a bloke is running the whole thing from his shed.

I moved my greyhound trading to them for the Sky cards as the volumes aren't too bad and I wanted to dip my toe in the water before trying horses etc. However, after the third time of them voiding a race due to dogs being kept in the market that had been withdrawn, on one occasion, the night before. I gave up and returned to Betfair.

I think this message means you are back? ;)

Betdaq just crashed by the way so this may have been a pre-cursor to it? I can't do anything on there at the moment. Went down around 16:15ish

Just visiting. :lol:

I had this same issue the other day, so I don't think it's due to BD being down, but thanks for the suggestion.

I'm not currently subscribed to Bet Angel Pro, so I thought I'd be cheeky and use the free Betdaq version to test a theory out (as the software I currently use doesn't show average WOM). :)

Another reason you can get that message is if you are trying to access the wrong server...

betdaq.co.uk or betdaq.com (select from drop down box on Bet Angel login)

I don't think it used to matter but they (relatively) recently changed it so now it does.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried both, with no joy.

Maybe my account was set up in the pre-API days.

I'll try setting up a new account and see if that works.

Creating a new account solved the problem.

Cheers guys.

Just received this charming email from Betdaq (in relation to my new account):

'Over the past few days we have noticed that you have made a number of calls via your Trading Tool. Whilst BETDAQ doesn’t impose data charges, we do respectively ask that customers using API and trading tool services contribute to the exchange relative to their usage.

Upon viewing your account it has come to our attention that no payment method has been registered on your account and no bets have been placed but you have been using your Trading Tool. Your API permissions have been explicitly blocked, if you wish to use your trading tool again please fund your account confirm that you will contribute to the exchange relative to your usage.'


I was tempted to reply by telling them to f off! :evil:

FFS, I've barely used the account since it was set up, so it's not like I'm harvesting tons and tons of data 24-7!

Congratulations BD - I may well have used your exchange, but I won't for the foreseeable now. :evil:

Are you using a practice mode, Jeff?

No.

I logged in via BA for BD the other day, just to have a look around and play about with the settings.

I could understand them sending an email like that if it looked like I was harvesting data and had no intention of placing a bet.

However, if they put pressure on people to register card details while they're just looking around and thinking 'is this for me?', they're just going to annoy customers and drive them into the arms of Betfair.

BTW, playing about on BA for BD brought back fond memories of BA. I may resubscribe at some point. I don't think anyone else comes close to BA for charting, or has an equivalent of Guardian.
