sportsbet.io, do you allow the use of VPNs?

[Sadlife]

^ I always suggest reading always the ToS of the site before using VPN. Because there are pros and cons upon suing it that you should know before using.
But for me, this is not advisable, remember that the gambling site needs to verify your location and the IP address you use. Once they know that you are trying to deceive them, probably you will have a problem in the future. Nevertheless, if you want to use, just a reminder that you really need to consider if the risk is worth the reward. Read this first before you decide to use VPN service even not only on sportsbet.io, https://www.bestuscasinos.org/blog/pros-and-cons-of-vpn-gambling/.

VPN's are allowed with gambling casino's because some countries forbids online gambling and upon reading FAQ of most casino they do not mention the restriction's of VPN user. And im also curious, why is it needed for a gambling site to know your location ? i dont see any logic in there ?

Yesterday, I have seen a thread on scam accusation board and I guess you are referring to that? Well, if they allow VPN(which they do I guess), they should be more careful to detect multi account. I have no doubt that sportsbet is the best sports gambling sites and I personally use this site but such things should handled more carefully.
Did you try PMing them to respond here? That would be good.

We know that when you are a licensed casino then you do abide on laws that had been set and if it includes on prohibiting certain countries then you wont have any choice but to to follow it as an owner.
Majority of them do write it on their Tos and once you do commit such violation then they  do have the full rights no matter what decision they would make in.

So far in sportsbet.io they might be allowing VPN yet ive been using it and i dont have any problems.I didnt encounter other issues that they had been blocked due to use of vpn here on sportsbet

but for some casinos or bookies they are strict when it comes to vpn users.

I think it's the purpose here that they will established, yes, let's say they allow VPN, but if one user use VPN to hide his real IP because the IP belongs to the country that is ban from accessing the site, I think that's another thing. Just like a mixer, if you use it for privacy, okay, but for money laundering, it's a no.

of course using a VPN transaction will be safer and when access to gambling places will hide the real IP so that it will not be tracked but in my opinion it does not need to be done because as I know all assets are in gambling places which in my opinion are more dangerous.

Account Login Activity.

They can notify their users if there's unauthorized or irregularities use of the account.

Just come to think of it, the account established a login in the Philippines then the other day, it was now on Canada or any part of the globe. It will trigger the alarm that the account might be compromised and they can notify their users right away to have it check or request for a freeze.

If you do try to read up their ToS. https://sportsbet.io/about/terms-and-conditions

Then you would able to find or read in 3. Registration and Opening of Your Member Account which you can able to play but be sure that your country doesnt really have any law
or restriction for its residents to get involved with gambling. This is why you should really be aware on possible risk.

Here in Australia many online gambling sites are blocked, or don't permit registration of their site - quite likely due to government registration restrictions.  I've been having a look around this week and they all pretty much say the same thing.

As far as you can get a recommended VPN, I guess you will not have a problem to visit and play on the gambling site. Using that VPN, you can hide your real IP, and you can avoid tracking of your ISP provider. Or you can use TOR when you want to visit a gambling site. Maybe you can check on the other gambling site, which allows you to use a VPN.

Depends on the gambling's sites terms and conditions as not all gambling sites allows their players to use VPN. Hidding real IP is indeed something good for most gamblers as they want to play as anonymous as possible, but we should care about the terms of the gambling sites to avoid something unexpected in the future. In this case, it is better for OP to ask sportsbet.io directly through live support or email support or sending a pm to their bitcointalk representative account.

Hopefully he is reading the thread he made so he would just post in the ANN thread. Maybe he already know the answer and just asking seeking some opinion based on our experience if we have already used a VPN to access the site, especially from ban countries though our IP.

He hasn't posted to the official ANN thread of sportsbet.io.

That's the best place for him to clarify such questions and other concerns that he has. Steve is very active on that thread so for sure he'll get the answer for his queries there.

That's quite strange as he is soliciting ideas here when it's easier if he could ask directly in the sportsbet.io ANN thread.
Maybe I will bring this post to the thread, so it will once in for all get an answer from sportsbet.io itself.

update :

Already posted here  - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1458034.msg54867269#msg54867269

hopefully we will get an answer so this thread will be lock soon.

[adam0991]

Yes hopefully, a very clear response is what we all deserve
 
We can then close the thread and use it for future reference. Very simple!

Never use VPN even if it doesn't goes against their terms of service because most people often face issues like account got frozen due to multiple accounts liked with the same IP which always occurs while you are using VPN.There are some ways to buy dedicated IP for you so you can avoid most of the issues but still remember you are in the risk.

Maybe some are only restricted but not all, and sometimes it is casino that restricts the country. As far as I know Australia has been very good in taking online gambling platforms, as it is seen a good tax income for the government as well as leisure for their citizens. In fact there is a data in 2015 that shows Australian spending the highest money in gambling in 2015, 6.8 million people gambling in a country is a no joke of number of gambler, it is huge actually so I don't think that they government would like to restrict their people from having entertainment.

You got the  point and this one  really depends on countries restriction and on sites decision if they would take gamblers  from other countries unless if they are really mandated  to do so.

Overall when it comes to regulation then it will vary on each country if they do block out gambling access into its  citizens but  we know that bypassing it using vpn is easy.

Website wouldnt really bother that much about legal matters but when severe problem do arise then they do have solid excuse for them to counter on.

You are right. I think before we visit the gambling sites, we can activate the VPN so that we can hide real IP, and if we want to register on that site, we can directly know if that gambling site allows people to use VPN or not. We need to remember the IP because that is the IP that we will use to visit on that website. That is why it will be necessary if we have a private VPN, so we don't have to afraid of the IP will be shared with other members. That is a good suggestion to OP so that he can know by their support system.

Never use VPN even if it doesn't goes against their terms of service because most people often face issues like account got frozen due to multiple accounts like with the same IP which always occurs while you are using VPN.

This is the risk when you use VPN, there's chances that same people are also doing the same and with that the site system will detect that same
person are also using multiple accounts, better to play if you are really well knowledgeable with each rules inside the terms of the site.

There are some ways to buy dedicated IP for you so you can avoid most of the issues but still remember you are in the risk.

Risk can be lessen but there's still possibilities that problem may take place by using VPNs.

Yeah better to play by the book, casino won't be too interested for who you are or where you at to dive and research about your IP so you don't to worry about them seeing your IP, that's like your log in a physical casino. There are casino who lets you use of VPN, but they are reminding of what the risks you can face in the future if you do it, and there are some casino (mostly) that does prohibit it to avoid any legal concerns.

Thinking about it, it is very unusual for a two person to do the same thing on the internet with the same IP add they got from free applications, but it is not impossible. Prevention is better than cure!

If you don't mind to get blocked, continue to use any gambling platform with the stated conditions.

I think no gamblers would want this, especially those who are betting a decent amount, a blocked account simply means a loss money, yet, you loss without betting it, that's too risky and I would not even try this. I don't know, but I think there are gambling sites that could cater us even if we are block at sportsbet, so why not look instead for other sites as an alternative than trying to cheap the system and face this kind of risk.

No, I know many gamblers who use the different conditions on their favor but catching them requires filtering KYC data one by one for all accounts. The purpose is not to cheat the terms&conditions, there is a reason why we discuss how to bypass the restrictions in smart ways. No one likes to get blocked or ignored by the support team especially the money is involved in the theme.

VPN is one way to make a cheaper to obtain internet connection to those who are using mobile internet data but it could be detected by the network of you are using and then get confused why such a heavy data of consumption. As a result the simcard or the network will block you and then the only solution is to buy again another simcard for you to use the vpn again. This is the risk of vp if one is using the official sim card.

In other case like having internet connection then I guess it is just to hide their identity. IP address could be altered using these vpn. They are probably want to test something that coule benefit them. I hope it is not a scam activity.
