The API login endpoint is the simplest method of integration for most applications in terms of expected development time but comes at the cost of being less flexible to edge-cases than the embedded Betfair embedded login page. It will allow a user to provide a username and password or a username and (password + 2 factor auth code) if they have strong authentication enabled.
The Betfair login issue shows itself as a security error when you try to login. This message occurs because you are probably using an older version of Bet Angel and as of 19th February Betfair updated their security login protocols in keeping with best practices.
Because you log in to Betfair via Bet Angel, we have had to update our software. Please ensure have you updated your Bet Angel to the latest version, if using Bet Angel Professional (including the server edition) in the bottom right corner of the blue login window it should state V1.51.2. If using Bet Angel Trader in the bottom right corner of the blue login window it should state V1.4.2
My account with betfair was closed without any warning with 100 in it and since then I have not been able to get any reply as to how I can get my money back. I have come up against an electronic wall which I cannot penetrate. Can somebody please help me to get my money back. Thanks
