Trx charge 1000 bets per hour

[Oscar Jack]

Has anyone hit the 1000 bets placed in an hour Transaction Charge using API-NG? I got charged on Saturday but did not expect it based on the number of new bet ids my program states were created. My code appears to be counting them correctly. If someone has been charged and they have confirmed the charge was correct then that will reassure me that the error is on my side.

Thanks.

how much were you charged ?

I was charged on the new API at some point last year. At that stage it wasn't calculating correctly, but I raised it and the problem was fixed.

Betfair will provide a breakdown of the charges if you ask them - I found this useful as unless someone knows otherwise, I can't find any way to see the details of this charge via the website.

Make sure you count non successful bets.

I was charged once last year because my throttle was only counting bets that were actually placed, a problem with a couple of markets meant that my bot kept re placing the unsuccessful bets and racked up a big bill.

BF did refund the charge in that case when I explained the reason for exceeding the limit.

I adjusted my throttle and had no problems since.
