Thanks dor the quick reply Finbar.

Is the login for the Betfair website or Betangel that has to be done prior to the VPN being turned on?

Cheers.

Works great still, well it did last week, not been in it this week yet

Only issue I have is having to log in with VPN turned off, then active it once logged on

Bet Angel, but if at any point you want to log into Betfair then it also needs to be off

Excellent. Do both the betfair website and Betangel work for in-play trading on NZ VPN?

Or is it better to stay safe and just operate through Betangel?

Also, would any of the other trading software API's also work?

Thanks for your expertise.

Definitely not an expert!! More a hobby for me (maybe when I retire if we can still access from Aus!)

NZ VPN works great on my phone for Betfair, but on my desktop no VPN seems to work I’m pretty sure, well not Nord VPN anyway, so always need to turn it off if I want to see their football match list for example

No idea on other APIs, definitely not my area of expertise

But I'm assuming that BetAngel does work on your desktop? Is that correct?

Thanks again.

As long as VPN is off when I log in it works perfectly

Thanks so much for your help Finbar.

One more thing if you don't mind. Do you think a betfair account would get closed if someone was constantly chopping and changing between countries? (say Australia and NZ)

Would it be safer to just stay with VPN in NZ permanently rather than go back and forth all the time?

I can only guess, but my guess would be that it’s not something they would ban you for, VPNs are so common these days and thousands of their customers would surely have them on and off at any given time. Only a guess though and others may be far better placed to respond.

Just another quick question, Finbar.

Would Betfair allow you to log into Betangel if the VPN was switched on but located somewhere in Australia, or does it have to be completely turned off to be able to login?

Thanks again.

Working from home today so have just checked

Betfair desktop with Aus VPN works fine
Betfair desktop fine with NZ VPN (am sure it wasn’t in the past)
Betfair desktop UK VPN doesn’t allow connection

So looks like NZ VPN is the way to go

Yes thanks for checking the current status for me, Finbar.

Just to clarify...

Was that the Betfair website you were referring to or BetAngel?

And also, when you logged in, did you have to have the VPN switched off, or could you be already connected when logging in?

Thank-you for all this effort you are putting in to help me. :)

No problem, I know how these things can be

Can only log into Bet Angel either with no VPN or with VPN showing as Australia, if connected to NZ or UK both give a password error

Yep great, thanks for clarifying.

I would say the best strategy for me (who prefers to keep the VPN running at all times) is to log in while the VPN is set somewhere in Australia, and then once logged into BetAngel, I will switch the VPN across to NZ and proceed from there.

This discussion has been super helpful and now I believe it will be worth me giving Bet Angel a go as well.

Kind Regards, Justin.
