If you're having to split your activity over a number of different accounts to hide what you're doing then it's because you're doing something that you know betfair don't want you to. Access to Betfair is not a human right, if you want to play then you have to play by the rules, if you won't do that then they're right to ban you.
If you're generating large transaction counts without generating comission to offset them against then you're obviously just wasting everybody's time and clogging up the API- which is struggling anyway.
The truth is betfair are pretty tollerant of almost anything provided you're getting stuck in and matching decent bets. I'm a fairly heavy API user but I've never had a peep of complaint from them. I use two servers and a home computer, each running several strategies simultaneously, refreshing very quickly and betting very often. No problem.
You must be doing something that really annoys them- I'm sure they will have warned you off before banning you but instead of recognising who butters your bread and sorting out your strategies you just tried to cheat your way round the warnings.
No sympathy here.
I'm not hiding anything. I did try and split the activity over several accounts because I have quite alot of strategies.
I then got warned as you say, so then I only ran 1 strategy from my account, and 'sold' off the rest. Perhaps I misunderstood their warning.
