Access Betfair in USA

[devilsbar]

Hi all

Just wondering are we able to access BetFair website in USA using normal internet and mobile network?

Anyone from USA can answer?

Thanks

[mminkovski]

yes, but you need a proxy server; recommend a paid version

[nyplayer33]

No, they have software that detects IP address from the US and other "bannded" countries, and have no problem in disconnecting and shutting you down when caught.

You can rent a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and set it to the country you're from... if you're from UK, Canada.

For my fellow Americans who want to access forbidden casinos/sportsbooks...

I did hear a story of a guy who actually went through all the BS, flew to London, rented a room from someone where he paid the electric water bills which gave him the 2 bills with his name on it, and then opened up a bank account, flew back and plays euro casinos/sportsbooks using his VPN.

He said it was a business to him and it was well worth it, they have the best online casnos/sportsbooks/betting exchanges thats why he went through the trouble.

Wow! USA is very strict. But i wonder how do people in USA place bets?

live in vegas. i placed a wager at the live window. and watched the game. on espn2 at the book. the book closed at 10pm but you could still watch the gme on one of 100 televisons. then you can cash the ticket out at the main window. on ur washington state -7.

my sportsbook buddy told me to parlay 1st half wash st -4 and over 65. 1st half wash st. 38- 29. he's like that in vegas.

i only bet the fullgame though.

then no joke.

pregame rite in front of the book. i hit a 5 quarter bet. keno 7 out of 10 paid out $94. total profit also. on a new keno system i am working on. to bad i did not hit the caveman 4x or 8x

they say there are no professional keno players. but it would be a nice career.

any other questions about wagering in america.?

Have you got a friend in Canada?

[jjgold]

Its lot of work and time and lots of documents for both Aussie and UK Wallets

Also they have auto recongintion phone software linked to your account so you better have a UK or Canadian phone number

Also they have address verification software and if address does not match the tax rolls if your signing up in UK you better have an original current utility bill, UK bank Statement and of course a must is a passport, uk license or UK national identity card

[trumpdown]

They don't care about country of origin just country of residence. US passport works fine.

[jeff1973]

yeah but like mminkovski said, you need a proxy server...

[jeff1973]

konck...betfair is actually a very legit site...

[devilsbar]

I still dont understand. I am from UK and will be traveling to USA soon. Can i still access to betfair website using internet and mobile while i am there?

Not without using counter-measures to detect location. Find a VPN service with a UK IP to access your account.

[jjgold]

USa Passports do work at some UK sites but for verification purposes only

They do run your passport # to make sure its a valid one

FSA (Financial Services Authority) Regulator of all providers of financial services in the UK have lots of laws that are tough and strict and many Euro books fall under them

You need a good contact in the UK/EU

On the other side is it really worth it? I am European and I have 6.5% net commision on betfair.

Meaning If I back 100 USD at odds 2 on Real Madrid, I get > 2 x 100 = 200 - 100 = 100 USD - NET comission = 193,5 USD. Basically the odd I back is not 2, but 1,93

I checked some US bookies are you can get quiet competative odds I guess, or am I wrong?

[Ballerholic]

idk

It's just that I bet as crazy for couple of months, than nothing for next couple of months. My comission disscounts are more or less always the same.
