What deal does Betfair have with white labels (e.g. Orbitxch) and agents?

[Christian123]

I'm a UK customer of Betfair and pay the Premium Charge (PC).

I could basically bet on betfair without the Premium Charge if I do that through Orbit or an agent like Vodds where you seem to get direct betfair odds (no exchange interface though).

But I doubt it will work. From what I learned by reading in this forum, there is "forced position taking", so Orbit and the agents are strongly incentivized to kick winning customers by raising their commission rate to unsustainable heights.

Does anyone know more details about how it works and how much you can win before you get the soft boot?

For example, if you bet through an agent on Orbit, who has the "forced position taking", Orbit or the agent or both of them?

If anyone could share at what profits you got your commission rate raised, that would be very helpful too!

You need to dodge the phantom cricket bets that can drain your account too . We have seen 4 or 5 threads like this one https://www.sportsbookreview.com/for...7000-lost.html

Thank you, that makes me want to avoid Orbit!

I still want to find out though, what deal they and other providers have with Betfair.
Who is enforcing the position taking? How is it enforced?
What's the minimum position they have to take, or are there agents who are not forced to take a position on their customers?
