New Testers
As you can see here,
http://www.geekstoy.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57 whilst the application has been stable & free of major bugs for our current tester base for a number of weeks now, that doesn’t mean it will be for you.
The product has been security tested by
Betfair, however is still under development. Use of the product is entirely at your own risk & I recommend that you don’t play with significant amounts of money unless you are both confident of application use, and that it is stable for you. As a precaution, always keep a copy of the
Betfair website open in the background, to enable you to close your position if required.
The current release will NOT work on 64bit versions of Windows, so don’t waste your time downloading it if your OS is 64bit. Reports back from current testers say that it works with no issues on XP, Vista & Windows 732 bit versions.
