Yep, many users unable to do anything on their accounts it seems.

Betfair response - "We can't do anything about it, we're investigating the problem and hope to have an answer today. If we can't find the cause, users will have to wait 7 days for limits to be reset"

Fcukin joke.

Mine changed to £10 deposit limit per week, and losses to £50 per year.

Phone the help desk, they haven't called me back!

What has everyone else done?

Glad I'm not the only one. Deposit limit of £0.70 ($1 AU) and has been like that since yesterday (or 1pm English time).

Betfair AU and UK said the problem will not be resolved until some time on 2pm Thursday AU time or 3am UK time Thursday. Crazy

This seems to have only affected those who adjusted default deposit and loss limits.
Why don't they just reset all acounts back to default and notify that any changes must be reconfigured by the user?

However, it also seems that there are too many "desperate" to deposit. Scared
I only withdraw Wink

I haven't changed those limits for years. And when I don't need money in betfair I don't keep it in here.

they told me it is an internal issue, and they will investigate.
but my limits are still on 25/22 a week!!!
Report framuc. • February 8, 2012 4:58 PM GMT
my limit is down to € 1,-- since yesterday. Big security gap. We should inform the RP and the Sun.

And still the limit is in place (weekly loss limit of £50 per week). My profile now shows it as last updated at 4.20pm today though...

this is a big security gap and they could not close it for nearly two days now.

the helpdesk reset my limits to "No Limit", but they told me this should be updated within 24hours. so i'll tell you tomorrow night if something will change.

i have withdrawn 97 % of my funds because betfair can not be trusted any longer.
The alternative bquack isn`t the best but at least an alternative.
BF just leaves me speechless after being a  (profitable for them) customer.
Incredible
Could not have imagined worse

And to be honest:
After many years of membership i hope they will pay out because i often heard different stories.
Sad story after all.
One costomer hadn`t been paid out more than a million pounds.
Betfair should speak out in that matter.

It's typical betfair innovation. Make a sports betting site programmer friendly then p1ss them off big time so that it invites hacking. They almost make Assad look diplomatic.
Report pix3l • February 9, 2012 7:39 PM GMT
back to normality.. limits set to "no limit"
