Last night I came home, logged into the betfair main site, all good.  A few minutes later tried to log into 'Fairbot'  and it said my password was incorrect.

So I logged out of the main site,  then tried to go back in and.. Password incorrect !   I figured someone was hacking my account, and I didnt have access to an international phone to call bf, so I put my 'wrong' password in 3 times to lock the account.

Ive been travelling a lot lately and logging in from dodgy hotel wifi, But looking at the past 'logins' they all seem from the same IP.

Now I'm in my friends apartment, its a massive place with maybe 50 other people within wifi range, and her modem password is pretty basic, and if one of them was hacking me it would show up the same IP I guess.

So annoying.. you never think something like this will happen to you, until it does Plain

One thing betfair should do is -  You recieve an email everytime your password is changed.  A lot of other sites do that.

This happened to me last week. It said my account had been locked.


I phoned Betfair and it was because I'd changed my password and then tried to log in using my old one.
