@BetfairCS @ 1:31pm
Due to ongoing issues with the Exchange, we will not be able to offer our usual range of Betting In-Running markets on Betfair as this is being investigated. Sincere apologies for the inconvenience being caused.

@BetfairCS @ 1:37pm
By the looks of it all markets are being affected. We cannot provide an accurate timeframe as the issue is not known yet. What I can tell you is that we're working on getting this sorted as soon as possible -

I have this message after I logged in shortly ago after a few hours sleep

The URL on your screen grab says something about too many requests. Thankfully it also says your ban is temporary!

I'm unlocked now but that is a horrible, horrible feeling.

No idea what caused it, I've been asleep with my laptop in sleep mode. I can't check if someone from Ukraine has been trying to log in as all the recent activity is my failed log ins and it doesn't go back far enough. The guy on Twitter DM mentioned VPN and 2 Step Authentication issues. I'm certainly not on VPN

I think the time has arrived to change my password, been using the same one since 2013

not a bad idea all things considered.

Twitter BetfairCS sorted me and gave me this, they have probably been getting a torrent abuse earlier so shout out to them from me


Thank you. The account has locked due to a number of incorrect attempts when entering your 2 Step authentication code. I'll have the account unlocked now so you can try again. As for the message you're receiving, this often happens if you're using a service such as a VPN. I would advise clearing all cached data & cookies from the browser you're using for the longest period possible to resolve that issue.

The account has been unlocked, please try again after following the above troubleshooting advice.

Seeing issues and performance issues being reported on the API Status page. Be careful!

It would be helpful if they could tell us what went wrong.

It's generally been OK this afternoon, but a bit dodgy in places. But it's difficult to know what to do when you don't know what the issue was.
