It seems a few sites that don't allow americans are now checking IP's. Today a couple of sites wouldn't allow me to log into them given my "Location". The major sites still allowed me without problems to bet tonight's basketball game. I won't mention any names to hopefully keep things alive. Party poker wouldn't allow me to log into either. Party did about 6 weeks ago during my last trip. I guess they are trying to keep out of the DOJ cross hairs.

#7We will see IP blocking more and more. Proxy services will be blocked as well. Players who travel to the US have said they have success routing back through their home PC.Comment -

#8Its actually quite simple if you are willing to use dial up.
Just get a dialup account in another country and dial in through a local number.Comment -

#9Bill so far I've had to do nothing but log onto the net and log onto my betting accounts. This is the first time I've hit a snag with one sportsbetting account telling me I can't log on. I was gone only 2 days so it was no biggie. However if I travel for 10 days or so I'll probably have to make other arrangements to get my bets up.Comment -

You are going to pinnacle, not to download porn.
Trust me - its not too slow, and if 2 cents a minute to a country like France is too expensive, then maybe you shouldnt be trying to bet there anyway.

Best way to go about it.

#17Certainly VPN would ideally be the way to go but it has the disadvantage of generally being rather expensive. SSH tunneling provides a cost-effective and portable solution which can be used with a wide variety of hosting services and free software.Originally posted by DhuepaxusSetup a VPN in Europe/Asia and you will have access to many Books.

#19That is what I do. There is zero chance of the books blocking this because to the books it looks like a completely legitimate IP. I would not use a free proxy service as they are unreliable.Originally posted by DhuepaxusSetup a VPN in Europe/Asia and you will have access to many Books.

I also play on party poker every day from the US. However, party does block US IPs 100% as far as we have seen. I am very surprised someone said they can use their party account in the US on a US ip.Comment -

#31It's not like it's a genetic trait. If you'd like to be computer savvy, you should become computer savvy. You can become computer savvy from the relative safety of your own home, and it can come in very handy, especially in the sports betting world.Originally posted by LargeMouthBassDamn I wish I was computer savvy...
