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

[adam0991]

My reason for a public post, instead of messaging Sportsbet directly is because I want clarity on a public forum. This way, for the future, when sportsbet make decisions to their users and using VPNs / multiple accounts as leverage then it will be clear from this thread on their stance.

I encourage sportsbet.io to clarify this for us. Thanks

You probably should ask the support as your question is directed to sportsbet.io, that if you want to get a clear answer.

Actually, I heard a lot of people saying that VPN is an easy way to bypass the countries IP restriction on a certain gambling site, but you know it's against the TOS as there's a restriction in the first place, so it's up to you know if you will still choose to violate, you might not get jailed but your account will be their hostage IMO.

Either the sportsbet.io clarify this by itself or not, you should ensure to read all the above replies for insights and enlightenment. Users who tend to use VPN are mostly those who are restricted from such zones by their government, also, those who are aiming to outsmart the gambling platform for selfish purpose. To stay on a safer side as a gambler, always read through their Terms of Service before engaging with the platform.

Many users here gives their views about the use of VPN in a certain online gambling site. Whenever I’m in playing games online I do follow the rules on their site to avoid lockout and banned account. There are pros and cons when allowing the use of a VPN on your device. Let's always look out on the possibilities that may happen on our account especially when you have funds stored.

[acroman08]

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.

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.

I think so too that it is too risky to use a VPN that has the same or similar ToS like sportsbet.io, but there are still gamblers that love to gamble using a VPN and I am just saying that if they want to use a VPN they should use a proper one and as long as they don't break any rules on the website and on the country where the gamblers are from.

You nailed it!

Seems people arent sure if sportsbet does prohibit out with the use of VPN but in most cases with gambling sites where using up to bypass specially if its a restricted country then its
always been a violation of most ToS.So if were a user tends to make use of VPN then you should know the risk of being locked up nor banned once the site found out.
Use VPN on your own risk.

[swogerino]

It works only in a certain way.I am working in a country where every domain with the word bet in its name is strictly prohibited by the government and the law.So I always access it from some years now with a VPN and nothing happened.I always use the same Vpn provider which I am not naming for security risks here and the same country because that Vpn offers only two countries in total.I always abide by the rules and nothing has happened because Sportsbet detects my browser,my Os and my settings and they are always the same.

From my experience as long as you are sure that the IP from the Vpn you use is clean and you always have the same habits you can use it as a last resort like me when government has blocked you.Anyone trying to be smart and thinking to cheat will get caught in no time as history has demonstrated.

There is a reason why they did not put that on the FAQs coz it is a clear call that it ain't. Using VPN is prohibited and risky, since VPN is shared through different users it is not impossible to you guys be on the same platform, both accounts will be flagged for fraudulent activities. Worst is that you real IP will be banned or any hardware ban, idk if they can do that but that's it.

Why some people can't just utilize what they got? they don't need to bypass any restriction set by the platform, those rules has been talked between legal procedures on different countries, they could be jailed for that action.

[MCobian]

In my opinion if you want to be safe using a premium VPN that is not used by others, but if we use a free VPN it is certainly very risky.
I have never played on gambling sites that do prohibit using VPNs, it is better to play on gambling sites where the rules allow using VPN.
So until now my account is safe and has never been blocked by gambling sites. And related to sportsbet.io you better ask directly to support,
so you can be more certain about VPN issue.

[StephenJH]

My advice is to use "whoer.net" in order to find the connected device details which will be known to the website owner. After checking the IP address, pc details, timeframe difference, system languages you are good to go to use the VPN because the next side will not detect your IP as a proxy masked. If there is a warning shortcut next to your IP, it means to change the other server until you get the whitelisted IP. If you don't mind getting blocked, continue to use any gambling platform with the stated conditions.

yes of course by using VPN all transactions that you do can be very secure because your IP will not be seen because it will be encrypted using IP VPN, so I suggest you have to keep using VPN so that all transactions and access to gambling can be safer.

[Distinctin]

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.

Actually, many of the popular VPNs track you and log your data. In fact, they may even log data about your installed apps - not only your browser activity. It's quite hard to achieve anonymity when gambling, as even with Tor you could have JavaScript leak the required information to identify you.

If you want to do everything off the grid, VPN isn't the best choice imo.

[AjithBtc]

The risk with using of VPN won't be that big until you encounter an issue. With casinos people prefer to use VPN to get through from particular location as there are scripts ready to be functional based on location, what's there to do with the sports betting. When an issue occurs with the account, we can't request for support. This could cause a loss for the user rather than getting the problem solved. Even without the use of VPN it is possible to have more accounts. What's the use of having more accounts on a sports betting platform.

[Ryker1]

Well, I can't even access to sporstbet.io site. Is there anyone who can access and visit their TOS to tell what countries are restricted to use the site?
Regarding using a VPN, I did not use this because I am afraid of having trouble in the future. Because most common gambling sites TOS has issues of using a VPN that perhaps you will break their rules or they perhaps think you are abusing their system that may be affected to your account of freezing your fund. However, this is no make sense if you are questioning people here, directly ask to their support is a good decision either.

[maxreish]

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
 
 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
 

If you are looking for the official member of sportbet to reply then better post your query on their ANN : 🚀 Sportsbet.io - Get a Price ₿oost on every sport, every day! 🤑🤑🤑
 

 I don't think other replies were spam as they were just helping you out and they are making a sense suggestions.
 As one member here used vpn already as per experience and nothing wrong with it but you still on doubt?
 Then, why don't you just pm the one who managing sportsbet? They will probably can see your pm here in bitcointak. Thread were posted above and pm the official member of sportsbet.
 
 Or simply shoot a pm on their support team to find reliable answers.
 I am also using that VPN. And as long as the country you selected do not prohibits gambling platform, then there will be no problem.

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 most likely knows the answer since he already mentioned using a vpn on the previous page. I think what he wants is a reassurance from sportsbet so that he won't have to worry about getting his account blocked due to multi accounting.

When you use a vpn it's not about creating more than one account, the issue is that you could be falsely accused by the casinos.

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.

When playing in a gambling site be sure you are 100% complying with their rules, so you can play comfortably with no breaking of  rules that gambling sites will be slap to you along the way, gambling site is not your regular site just like a social media account where you can use as many accounts because there are compliance that you must follow.
