Bovada "services not available in your region" popup

[yisman]

The past few months I have not been able to view Bovada.

I just want to look at their odds and they have a geolocator set to block large swaths of North America from viewing their website.

I really don't see why this is necessary.

Yeah, it's annoyingly effective too.

Regular web proxies like hidemyass don't get you into a lot of areas, like the section with lines.

I'm not trying to sign up.


For many years anyone could view the site. Maybe they think this prevents DDOS attacks? (it doesn't)

I think it's just to clearly show officials from banned areas that they are definitely not soliciting business.
