Betting in Spain

[richardphunt]

I am currently on holiday in mainland Spain, Puerto Banus. I have bought my UK laptop loaded with BA vers 1.3.0.36 and Office 2010. I can login to BA ok and BA displays my account balance OK. Opening horse racing markets the grid displays market information as expected. I can connect my bot to markets ok and I can see that the bot is working as expected, however ...

When placing bets via the bot , lay and back bets I receive the same result in the status area of BA is "Error placing bet (API ERROR)" the error in the account log simply states "CANNOT_ACCEPT_BET"

I receive the same errors when placing one-click bets on the grid.

Is there an issue using UK accounts via the API originating from Spanish located IP addresses?

Yes richardphunt, you have to use a VPS or VPN from Spain with you UK account (your connection will have to come from an allowed country). A VPN is a lot cheaper and you can buy one for a month, you will have your connection delayed because you will have an extra server on your way to betfair but it will solve your problem.
