Straight up question.

There are lots of complaints around the internet, not just on this forum of Sportsbet.io closing user accounts and playing the VPN / multiple account reasoning.

There are also lots of users on here, who advertise Sportsbet and have openly said they use a VPN.

Sportsbet don’t specifically state (that I can see) in their terms that they do not allow the use of VPNs, however they are happy to close accounts, clearly when it suits them, which they believe are using a VPN.

So a community that respects Sportsbet.io a lot, let’s clear this up with an answer from Sportsbet themselves. As next time a complaint comes along, this will be a great reference.

Because if they don’t allow the use of a VPN, then there’s a lot of users risking their funds with a company that could close their account in a heartbeat and seize their funds. (As its apparent they do this..)

If you look at the history and the terms and conditions they have you cannot risk using the site with a VPN or any proxy as they will connect your account with someone else's and you will not be able to play further but they will refund the amount in your account but highly unlikely they will provide with the winnings funds as i have not seen a situation that they refunded anyone having multiple accounts with their wins.

based on the replies it seems that using a VPN is allowed as long as it doesn't connect your account to another account or break any other of their rules while using a VPN and gambling on their website. we all know that some IP address on a VPN is shared among different users that is why it is important to use a proper VPN.

TOS is open to interpretation. some might say its allowed but it doesn't really say anything there. but they will know your country has laws and restrictions. if you violate it sportsbet might as well consider a violation to their terms.

too bad for frozen account with huge funds inside. the ones using VPN are really risk takers. its just that when you get unlucky, you don't know how much money will be lost. it could be small or BIG.

I used VPN on my home works so usually, I always forget that I'm connected with it. I browsed all sites at any genre including crypto-gambling sites e.g sportsbets with my VPN and so far I've never experienced a problem.

Just stay with the same region as I don't see why it's necessary to transfer unless a person is trying to bypass a country's law about gambling or a certain gambling site does have a restriction on that country to use the service.

And as my advice, no need to set up or create a thread like this. You are free to discuss this with them on their official ANN thread.

Mostly spam replies, not really answering the question, all to promote their signatures. Haven’t been around bitcointalk for a long time, is this what it is now

Anyhow, their terms and conditions are not clear. Most sites do not allow the use of VPNs whilst most users on sportsbet probably do use a VPN. (Including me, and admittedly I have never had a problem). My point being, it’s clear sportsbet.io pick and choose when to close users accounts, it seems when they win and want to withdraw.

I will no longer be taking this risk unless Sportsbet.io actually make a reply here with their stance on this.

I hope the community can support me in getting an official response on this. For the safety of all players. Thanks

Yeah, just like who only just registered a few weeks ago. Is it a bad thing, though? Some of the replies have meaning, but you are just waiting for Sportsbet.io to post here. You could've just messaged them with this concern.

So you're pointing out that they have the power to close any accounts that are associated with a VPN if necessary? Like if a gambler wins a big amount of prize and they check the background of the account and see that that person is using a VPN, they wouldn't give him the prize money? Is that what you are worried about?

I agree that there should be a statement from them if they are really doing this. And if you say you are worried and have seen a lot of complaints, please link them here for further research and backing of your concerns, making a more persuasive argument too.

I don't think VPN is very important because I think your transaction will never be hacked because everything goes to a gambling place, the most important thing is to keep your assets in a gambling place which I think is more important than using a VPN that can still be broken if gambling places are not prioritized.

Don't use sportsbet.io if they don't allow you to use a VPN. Many gambling sites out there will allow you to use VPN, and I guess you can find it easily

As far as I know, when you use Premium VPN, which means you subscribe with their premium VPN, you will get many countries with private IP so you can visit any blocked site, even gambling or porn website, so that you can register on that site. But remember always to use that VPN every time you visit on that site. Otherwise, they can easily block your account.

If you insist on waiting for the sportsbet.io answer, you can send a message to them in here or send an email to their support system.

I don't think it's worth the risk using VPN. Too many things you need to be careful on and still there is no guarantee that something will not get complicated. Some gambling sites and also some countries gamblers come from have certain restrictions that you need to know very well in order to avoid any kind of trouble.
