    VPN usage

    Will a sportsbook flag me for using a vpn and bouncing my ip around or do they understand... Any help is appreciated.

    lol. I think you should read @Cicadasinthe's thread about Nitrogen. As with all gambling it comes down to risk vs reward. Is the risk of having your account closed with funds seized countered by the benefit of less likely being caught acting illegally. If gambling online isn't illegal where you are then the only benefit is increased privacy. VPNs are for intended for privacy. They do not increase security. Obscuring your identity will make things harder to resolve if you have a problem. If in doubt ask the book or read their rules.

    Cicadasinthe used VPN to mask his location because he is in a restricted country and is also accused of multi accounting. If you are legit and not trying to scam your fine in most cases but you should ask book to be safe. Also when you do withdrawals make sure your VPN is off and home IP shows. Thats what will Red Flag the account for your own protection. I have had a few times at Nitrogen where my VPN was on by accident when i submitted a withdrawal and they froze my account pending me sending the a screen shot of my home IP. Its always been cleared up in under an hour. Its for your protection.

    Most don't care, but if a problem comes up they may view it as an extra reason to be suspicious of you.
