Issue opening a betspread position on the API

[MerlinR]

This could be a user error but cant find anything, Im trying to open a bet spread position using the API companion and watching it via a lightstreamer. I can create the position correctly on the API companion however the position is REJECTED instantly with "REJECT_CFD_ORDER_ON_SPREADBET_ACCOUNT". This is on a DEMO account.

I have double checked, using a bet spread account and as far as i can tell this is a bet spread epic, i can make the exact same trade on the exact same epic on the IG dashboard, checked by making the trade on the browser and using the API to check position which showed same epic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Endpoint: /positions/otc
