The BSP lay liability for these currencies will be unaffected by this change.

Can I clarify what BSP lay liability actually is for the various currencies ? Is it for all countries a lay liability of UK £10.00, converted into whichever local currency ?

While I am on this topic, does Betfair Tech support have any suggestions or insights into how Developers can test their App in different currencies ? Its confusing as some amounts are in GBP which need to be converted, and some are directly in the local currency. As far as I am aware once you have created your Betfair account for your actual country, there is no way to switch it to something else for testing purposes ?

Any developers reading this, it would be interesting to know how you tackled testing for various currencies ?

Thanks Geoff

Did you check this table for BSP lay liability: https://docs.developer.betfair.com/d...encyParameters ?

Does it have an answer for your question?

Hello Shuba

Ah, thanks, no I wasnt aware that page existed. It is useful and should answer my question.

At a quick glance the Betfair Tech support original post here lists 12 currencies, whilst the docs page lists 19.
I am wondering now how many currencies do need to be supported ? I can answer that one by checking how many currency rates BF send me in the get conversion rate tables API call.

Just checked the comms, BF do in fact send 19 currency rows, matching the docs webpage. (The original post here missed 7 currencies)

Thanks
