I read somewhere that Betfair can ban a user who trades only with a bot for a long time and does not trade manually. Under what circumstances might Betfair banned to automated trading?

Perhaps you are thinking about people who only ever use practise mode?

It's a long time since I heard of someone getting a warning. I can't remember one since they introduced streaming, polling yes, but getting a slap for data being pushed at you would be harsh.

I read that a long time ago, and in the past, I read a lot of different forums, so I don't remember where exactly, but recently ChatGPT also mentioned it to me, so that's why I'm asking here just to be sure. But based on what you're saying, it seems to be okay. Thank you.

Gpt doesn't know anything about Betfair internal decision making. If you ask it for a citation that position will be an assumption based on a handful of old unverifiable posts somewhere.
