The Betfairy: The statement you quote doesn't seem to be correct. Although it was what I had originally thought to be the case.

I was a BDP member for two months. I developed my program, but was told that I couldn't use it if I cancelled my subscription. £200 is way too dear in my opinion, especially as I never asked for any support in that time. And my program wasn't going to make me £200 per month either.

The Betfairy, fair enough - we're trying to clarify an issue. However I am not sure exactly where on the forum you are getting this information? I am referring to the actual software vendor licence agreement for this in the Membership & Subscription section of the BDP forum.

"I believe that UserID refers to Support - ie telephone, forums, etc. Applications continue to operate as normally."

It doesn't. According to the documentation it is used to programmatically connect to the API.

I've send a clarification request to BDP...

The API requires three pieces of information to allow connection. Username, Password, and ProductId. My guess is that your combination will be deactivated once you cancel. They also provide your forum username with permission to access the BDP forums and download documentation.

Third party software providers continue to pay the subs on behalf of their users.

Anyone can join the forum. I joined and posted once I think a long time back. You have to join to download the historical info. - pretty sure that's why I did it at the time.

Clarification request? Why not if you want to set it in stone.

MOL: There are a whole set of other forums specifically for BDP members that non members can't see.

Yes, clarification would be good, as the statement seems to be in direct conflict with what I was told by Steve High.

TamsLoup, I wonder why the secrecy? The selling point for other companies selling solutions in a similiar programming vein involves providing complete public access to programming documentation - programming samples etc. That's the basis on which people decide they want it or not.

Yes it's in conflict and reminds me of all those ASDA TV's they were selling for 50p over the weekend..

The licence agreement is what matters.

See you later!

Be interesting to see the clarification but I think the answer's already been provided.

MOL: You'll get no arguement from me on that subject, I'm afraid. There's no rhyme nor reason to it as far as I can see. And the £200 per month subs is a bit much too. It is, after all, just an interface to allow people to make bets that earn Betfair commission.

Just out of curiosity: where is LayIt?

Clarification:

If a Personal or Software Vendor subscriber cancels the subscription this his own account (plus test accounts) will be blocked API access. However, for Software Vendors, their application users will NOT be blocked access.

The bottom line is, to use the API ongoing (as an individual) it will cost £200 per month.
