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.

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.

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.

No more Rekt and Bust

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Using VPN to bypass the restriction of the site is not good, you might get enjoy for awhile since sportsbet does not requires KYC but in the long run if you get detected, your account might be lock and worst if you have money on it, you might not be able to withdraw it. It's really up to you if you will take the risk, but at least you know already all the possibilities that your account can be compromise.

Livecasino, 20% cashback, no fuss payouts.

This is just my take on things and you can listen or have your own opinion. The only "safe" way to gamble, if you are not sure of whether or not a ToS violation incurs if you use VPN, is to stick to casino that does not have any geolocation in their ToS. In this case, this usually means a pure crypto casino that never ever asks you for verification (it's not just about documents, but verification includes IP).

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 Wink

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.

sportsbet official team might be busy and they cant respond here directly . he did a research before and found mixed answers but i believe the one that tells the truth are the one that already experience working on sports bet , they said vpn is allowed . why doubt ?

Just because most gamblers using vpn aren't getting blocked in sportsbet doesn't mean it's allowed. If steve is going to make a post here he'd probably say no since it's against the terms and conditions and from what we've seen you could get away with using a vpn but it only takes one mistake to close your account.

Imo it seems like they're in the same position as stake they're not that strict when it comes to their players having vpn unless they're connecting to those prohibited countries listed in the terms and conditions.

Well part of the issue is that if they are regulated they can't be caught accommodating players from territories the casino isn't licensed to operate at. Casinos that become large and have an existing player base, would rather keep things as they are and more sable instead of taking any risks.
Blocking VPNs is a common practice for big casinos and betting platforms that like to portray themselves as licensed. Some do it with more rigor than others 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.

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.

maybe this is only his alt and he had an old timer account here . there are less spams before though compare to now but what can we do ? crypto business are growing along with this forum .

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.

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.
