# Auto-betting Queue System

To protect replication quality (odds slippage, execution fairness, and market impact), Bet2Invest may cap the maximum number of auto-betting followers for certain Experts.

When an Expert is **full**, Bet2Invest uses a **queue system** so new users can still request access without having to constantly retry.

***

### Why a queue exists

Auto-betting is executed on real markets. When too many users copy the same Expert on low-liquidity markets, it can lead to:

* larger odds drops for late users
* more rejected bets (market moved, suspended, closed)
* unrealistic performance compared to what followers can actually replicate

A follower cap + queue is designed to keep execution **realistic and fair**.

***

### How it works (high level)

1. An Expert reaches the **maximum** number of auto-betting followers.
2. If you try to enable auto-betting for that Expert, you can join a **queue** instead.
3. When a spot becomes available (for example, someone disables auto-betting for that Expert), the system will offer the freed slot to users in the queue.

The goal is to make access predictable and fair, while protecting market replication for all followers.
{% endhint %}

### What can cause a spot to open

A spot can become available when:

* an existing follower **stops** auto-betting that Expert
* a follower is removed from auto-betting access
* Bet2Invest updates the follower cap because liquidity conditions change

***

### Important notes

* Joining the queue does not guarantee immediate activation.
* Caps and queue behavior may vary depending on the Expert’s markets and liquidity.
* Even when you are active, replication is still subject to your own limits and to Pinnacle acceptance rules.
