Hi,

I've realized that on the "My Security" page on BF I see logins from the UK on my account (and I'm not from the UK).

The question is, is BetAngel responsible for these? Just in case, I quickly changed my password, but I'm curious about this.

The IP is the following:
10.41.132.235 (United Kingdom)

Thanks for the quick answer in advance.

Go to http://www.whatismyip.com/. to check your local IP. Variations may occur if using blackberry or mobile or resident of USA which often bounce their addresses of a Canadian profile. From what I can see address quoted is linked to a spamming site of some type. Bet Angel should result with a duplication of your logon details and country of logon - but identical details ! Change your password and ring betfair ASAP .

Bet Angel logs in from your PC to Betfair so you should only ever see a log in from your local IP. If you an IP address you don't recognise or can't resolve take action to tighten up security on your account.

That looks like a private address that's come from the local network rather than an internet IP address. Have you contacted Betfair recently as it's looks like it's logged in internally from their network.

If you log in to certain things via the betfair website like their mega minute promo they use an internal ip address, and that looks like it could be one. Still worth checking with them though.

Thanks for the replies. Luckily it turned out to be the logins from promozone.betfair.com, when I checked how my promos' status. Thanks a lot for the hint that it's an lan ip.
