Betfair and lockout/limitations

[Amica]

Hi,

I've had a few accounts closed in the past after some bets settled as winners (Betfred, Parimatch, to call out a couple).

I have a Betfair account and would like not to lose access to the exchange side of the account, so I'm thinking twice about placing any kind of bet on the bookmaker side of Betfair in case the bets win and my Betfair account gets closed/limited to penny betting.  Does anyone know if Betfair locks you out of the exchange as well if/when they close/limit an account on the bookmakers side of Betfair?

Thanks!

Well the obvious answer is why would they? If you're too shrewd for their liking on the Sportsbook side then you'll be limited as anywhere else but if you're making hay on the exchange they just count the commission. So I'd use the SB on the assumption that whatever happens it will have no bearing on your experience using the exchange.

I'm evidently shrewd enough to be limited to a maximum stake of zero for any SB bets but it's had no impact on my betting on the exchange.
