William Hill VPN

Wed Jan 04, 2023 8:24 pm

How safe is it to access bookmakers with a VPN service? Is it safe to access WilliamHill with a VPN? This is something we discussed several times here in arbusers, and I am afraid you will not like the answer.

A growing number of players are trying to access bookmakers using a VPN service. Obviously, they have their reasons to do so, restrictions, regulations, you name it. But I believe this is not the best practice to follow, and I will explain why.

It is a reality, bookmakers are always 1 step ahead of their clients when it comes to security issues. Therefore, they already blacklisted all known IPs used from VPN services. You might think you are able to overpass these blacklists, by looking for smaller and not popular VPN services. Those that find their clients with ‘’word of mouth’’. I am afraid I have to disappoint you once again. Bookmakers have gone too far in blacklisting even smaller and unknown VPN services, and that includes WilliamHill as well, among others.

But at the same time you might wonder, why am I allowed to access a bookmaker with a VPN already? Why don’t they block me from the very beginning when I access them with a VPN service? Be more than sure that they know from the very beginning that you use a VPN service to bypass restrictions. You will find out the hard way at a later stage, when for example you are ready to request a withdrawal. This is when problems arise. Indeed, they allow you to access your account and bet like business as usual,  because you contribute to their liquidity. Liquidity is an asset all bookmakers are eagerly looking for, because it guarantees profitability for them in the long run. But if you are a sharp player and when you are just about to request a withdrawal, then they might start asking all the weird questions you could possibly imagine. They might start requesting photos and documents that you can’t easily get, even if you are the most legitimate player in this planet.

I am not saying this is a tactic that William Hill is using, even though there are reports in our forum, all I am saying is that some bookmakers might do it. Most bookmakers have clauses in their T&Cs that you electronically accept upon registering for an account, forbidding the use of any technique and tool to mask your real IP.

And by the way. I am noticing there is a big number of questions about VPN services and gambling, so I am adding the following links in regards to this matter:

Thank you.
I believe all mainstream VPN services are blacklisted from the big bookmakers. You should be looking for smaller custom made services. Check Smartbet.io please.

Use a private VPN, not a public proxy server.

Use google. Some VPN that's good for others might not be the best for you.

What reason did they give you not to use a VPN?

They've become very picky on verifications lately.
This will probably be the case then. Get ready your face along with bills and IDs and wait for them to ask for photos  ;D
