    Closure account

    Hello to this community and all members, this is my first post here I have a problem and need some advice.


    I get an email from smarkets,that they no longer be able to accept customers from my country. Therefore they will be closing my account,which is unfair .Why to close account?In this situation what do you believe that i should do?


    Vpn do not help because they close account,do you think its good idea to ask support for details about vpn and how to continue to play?Any suggestions of how to continue to bet there?

    Any help will be useful.

    I received the same mail earlier today and somehow other friends of mine that are Sportmarket customers from the same country (perhaps that troll will appear again claiming I have multiple accounts like last time when I reffered to friends of mine) but never received those mails. Where are you from, Greece as well?

    There is not much you can do about it Gamblehappier.

    Books close off to different countries all the time, usually due to legal pressure. If you are in Greece I'm surprised this is a surprise to you.

    Thanks for answering Optional,its a big problem for me ,what you will advise me to do?

    1)what about brokers in order to access sites?Do you think its worthy.I think is better to have a personal account but about agents what is you opinion?Is it risky?From past research assianconnect i think is best,Also popular premiumtradings,betinasia etc.I am sceptical

    2)accounts from someone else name to another country?

    3)Dont you think its crazy to move to another country, as you have agents ,or even loan a house abroad

    There are no agents offering Smarkets accounts, I have looked for one as well as my own account was closed a few months ago.

    1) I'd use a broker like AC or PT in your position. I'd prefer a direct book account too but those companies have been around quite a few years now and haven't had many problems.

    2) The problem with this is if you get caught you risk losing your money.

    3) Yes. I like to gamble but not enough to change countries for it. I am a lot further from the next country in Australia than you are though

    Thanks for the suggestions optional

    Yes brokers i think actually its the only way in order to access some good trustworthy bookies and some good asians.If you do not have some list of good books and exchanges it is difficult to bet.

    As for the second how they can detect you if you avoid isnr,cookies ,mac.From the style of gambling,fingerprinting?And actually if you as optional have some skills why not to use an account of someone else in order to help him or even get paid for your skills.But i understand your skills will cost to the bookmaker so they will limit you.But actually i dont think trustworthy books will confiscate your funds even if you handle a 50 accounts,its illegal.Am i wrong?

    As for the third i see people who occupy a lot with the business and make money and after all move abroad.Its strange to move and leave family and friends behind,while you can use some brokers,dont deserve even if direct bookmakers are better than agents.We should have a life first of all.

    Hm, I got confused last night and thought it was Sportmarket when indeed it was Smarkets that I never even had any funds with them. So I don't really care.
    Anyway it seems that you gamblehappier are looking for a betting exchange so I don't know what's the answer to your problem. But since you mentioned asianconnect yes that can help though no exchange can be done via them (or Sportmarket as well that I have been using). Just be careful when looking for an agent/broker cause there are plenty that are untrustworthy.

    My account was closed due to my location as well.

    Been a client of some agents (PremiumTradings and Vipsportsbook.eu) for a long time...never had a problem.

    optional i will be happy if you answer to these questions

    Anyway which do you think is the best broker to access smarkets,betfair?You will use a broker?I have heard that smarkets do not compromise with brokers so i think noone serious broker offer it.

    With brokers it is true that you avoid premium charges at betfair?I think its imaginary so everyone will use a broker..

    Dont you think its better to bet at betfair instant via someone in an allowed country via vpn?In different posts i see that "The problem with this is if you get caught you risk losing your money " as you said its almost impossible in an exchange..
    why? you do not multiaccounting ,its not a book(take point vpn,cookies) am i wrong?

    What is your opinion about molybet tool of brokers?

    I will do nothing for the summer as I don't intend to be very active. I will move my action to Betfair and possibly Matchbook. I will also speak to some friends in the UK to see if they can help somehow.
