    account security at sportsbooks
    betfair has a section in the account menu where you can see you last 10 logons with ip and result of attempt (failed login, successful login). Is there any other place where you can bet that offers this or any other type of security measures?

      Doxxbet, sportingbet have IP history

      SBOBET tells you about failed log on attempts

      But why do you call that security measures, that isnt helpful at all. If someone break in your account, money will probably be lost instantly, and every site will temporarily suspend any account with too many failed log on attempts.So that IP history rarely helps.
      But yes, security measures should be higher, especially on exchanges.

      The biggest mistake is using any shared computer for accessing your accounts, cause there are programs that can remember every stroke on the keyboard.

        @filipinho that is a good point, but still, if someone is trying to hack into your account you can change your password in time if you see suspicious attempts. It happened to me once. Now I am over

        thanks for the answer. I didn't know about doxxbet and sportingbet. (not great books though).

        @ken you are spot on. tokens are the future.
