VPS - Virtual Private Server

Run your bot on a virtual private server

VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a remote computer that you connect to by using remote desktop connection. Windows operating system is installed on VPS server, so once you connect it will look and feel like working on your own computer.

Connection to VPS server is established over your internet connection. Connection between VPS server and Betfair, Matchbook or Betdaq is established over high speed connection. Only your keyboard, mouse and screen data is being sent between your computer and VPS server. All communication with Betfair/Betdaq/Matchbook is done only between your VPS server and Betfair/Betdaq/Matchbook servers.

Running our software on VPS server allows you to access betting exchange and our software from anywhere in the world, from almost any device, computer, smartphone, tablet etc.

Major benefits from running bots on VPS servers that we recommend are:

  • High speed connection to Betfair/Betdaq/Matchbook servers
  • Save yourself electricity costs (you can turn off your computer)
  • Access VPS server and bot from anywhere in the world
  • Reduce your local bandwidth overhead
