Hi, maybe someone can advise me. For the past three days when I access the uk bet365 website and try to place a bet I get the text
"sorry there has been an error, please contact us and one of our team will be pleased to assist you"
and then immediately logs out. I have tried various proxies ( dataceneters, residental). I changed the time zone to uk, different computers and nothing works.

It is a reality that a growing number of players are trying to access bookmakers using a VPN service. Obviously, they have their reasons to do so. I believe this is the wrong thing to do, and I will explain why.

Most of the time, like it or not, bookmakers are 1 step ahead of their clients. Therefore, they are able to blacklist all IPs used from VPN services. You might think that they blacklisted only the mainstream VPN services, those that can be found with a simple internet search, but you are wrong. They have gone too far in blacklisting even smaller and unknown VPN services, even those that find their clients with ‘’word of mouth’’.

But at the same time you might wonder, why am I allowed to access a bookmaker with a VPN already? You have to be sure that they know from the very beginning that you use a VPN service to bypass restrictions. When you request a payout, problems will arise. Yes, they allow you to bet now because you contribute to their liquidity, this is an asset all bookmakers are eagerly looking for. But if you beat them hard and when you are just about to request a withdrawal, then they might start asking all the weird questions you could possibly imagine.

I am not saying this is a tactic that Bet365 is using, all I am saying is that some bookmakers might do it. Most bookmakers are including clauses in their T&Cs that you electronically accept upon registration, forbidding the use of any technique to mask your real IP. Be careful with that.

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:
