It is worth noting that all official Betfury mirrors were created on the same day(November 25, 2020), while this .ac domain was created just a couple of months ago (October 28, 2023). Doesn't it seem strange to you? Why would Betfury register another domain if they already have 3 working mirrors besides the .io domain?
By the way, there is still a redirect to the mirror, and it seems to be taking longer since the .io domain has this status: clientHold. This means that the registrar has put the .io domain on hold until the owner takes action. During this hold, the domain is not activated in DNS.

I may be reading into this a bit too much and coming up with an incorrect conclusion, but i am concerned about this being a legal matter of serving customers in areas they are not supposed to be operating within. For example in the UK you cannot operate a casino without a permit from the gambling commission and they wont like people infinging on their income. Therefore they are being extra cautious with their mirror domains by range banning players they are not allowed to provide gambling services to, hence why all mirrors are blocking IP's from such juristictions. This is sending players wild because all we get is the 'Sorry you have been blocked' Cloudfare page.
If the domain has been put on clientHold, this may indicate that this is not so much of a technical issue, but that the registrar has put the betfury.io domain into limbo until a certain criteria is fulfilled, this may mean that there has been pressure put on the registrar from serious legal entities, especially now they are offering crypto staking dividends. Plus the UK is cracking down hard on anything non regulated by their new legislation.
Obviously Betfury wont want to come out and openly admit this is the case and why they have now started pushing the .ai domain... which seems to be fine for a large amount of players but seems to range ban IP's from areas they are not allowed to operate within.
Also lets face it, if there is bad news for players, they try to spin it as a positive for them, for example, the way the handled the removal of the free crypto boxes by putting the emphasis on bad actors cheating the system and the way they interact with users, being pretty much non existent, apart from telegram customer service saying the team are working through it and the only solution they offer is to clear your cookies and cache or use a VPN. That being said, i am only concerned because this is my favourite Crypto gambling site and i dont want to see it go, as i cant justify paying for a VPN for one single site just so i can play my small stakes gambles.
Hopefully I am way off the mark with this and its all a conspiracy in my mind and they will get their act together, but i am not holding out much hope.
Would be interested to hear from other UK users who are able to access the site without using a VPN and can access it via one of the mirror sites with their bare IP, proving my conspiracy wrong, for which i would be happy to be the case.
