Barra de Informacion Principal
Once logged into the application you will be presented with the Barra de Informacion Principal. On this you can see your Betfair Balance for both your UK Wallet and your Australian Wallet. The balances automatically refresh every 5 seconds by default and also when you submit a bet, change or cancel a bet or when a bet’s status changes at Betfair.

The information shown in the Barra de Informacion Principal changes when a market is loaded.
