I had exactly the same problem.
I adapted a spreadsheet that I had used on Betfair for the past six years or so and ran it on Betdaq.
Midway through the first race it was black listed.
I then entered into a number of email with the API team. They explained that my "Combined Payload" was set at 600 calls/Minute (I expect this was quite low as I rarely used Betdaq).
..and here is the interesting thing..
Unlikely Betfair, the API were prepared to negotiate with me to rest my limit. I was asked a number of questions primarily based on how much commission I was/expected to generate, turnover etc.
They raised my "Combined Payload" as a result.
As it happened, the auto stuff I wanted to run didn't work anywhere near as well as on betfair so I have shelved that until it picks up in terms of liquidity...
Anyway the message is; if you put a lot through the exchange, talk to the API team and see if they can do something for you to prevent your account being locked and leaving you high and dry
