Title: Betfair Log In
Post by: ian.ski309 on September 05, 2010, 14:10:16 PM
For the past few days I"ve had an error message saying "Username or password is incorrect" but after a few attempts I can usually log in. Today it took over a dozen attempts. Is there trouble at t"mill ?

Yes.  I"ve had the same problem.

One way around it is to uncheck the "remember username/password" box.

This seems to do the trick.


My reply from Betfair Support was :-

Thanks Leigh, I"ll give that a go. I thought I might be developing sausage fingers...  :D

I might wait until 7.50pm tonight to reg for the League match, just to make sure I can log on.

Been happening to me ever since I switched over.  Switched no hassle.  Deposited and tested out the new software...no hassle.  Logged out to cook dinner...kids found hassle there, but that"s another tale.  Tried to log back in after dinner...jumbo hassle.  Not been able to get on since.  Sigh. 

Was just on the phone with them and got the same reply Leigh had in his email.  Tried the few times while on the phone with them and suddenly I was blocked due to more than 6 attempts at logging in.  Obviously they unlocked it straight away, but just be aware - try more than 6 times and you"ll need to phone them to remove the block you"ll get on your account.

Same here - 4 unsuccessful attempts before I went and donked off what I had left on Stars instead. TF I couldn"t access this ... probably would have done my roll there too.

So THANK YOU BETFAIR!  ;D

Have spoken to Betfair about this and it is top of their priorities to get resolved.

Ongame are working on a fix, which should be released shortly, hopefully this will solve the problems.
