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

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! 🤑🤑🤑

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 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.

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..)

At least from the start they know the circumstances that may happen while they are using VPN. That is their own risk that they dont know before they using such service.

However, you can ask this concern in sportsbet.io ANN thread, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-proud-partner-of-southampton-fc-1458034.
But if you aren't using VPN right now, just try on it. I guess compromising account will the most online casino owners do.

Note that if the sportsbet isn't operating in a region/country and probably you are using the VPN connecting from the blocked country there are higher possibilities that you might receive a mail stating to withdraw your funds as early as possible with the recommended closure of your account. Multiple account reasoning through VPN isn't the only way for the risk of closure of our sportsbet account but rather if the connected VPN provider is from a server location where sportsbet isn't operating you have the same risk with this.

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.

Having a VPN connecting through EU would be safer, just buy a EU VPN provider for few dollars and use the site through that. You are good to go.

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 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/.

Please never attempt to use the VPN banned websites for your and funds safety. They can easily block your assets for making more money. Be careful and check the terms of service before making a deposit. If you don't like to discuss the personal document's quality with third people, never ever try to cheat the casino especially if the bonus abusing accusations happen.

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.

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.

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..)
