Does anybody know, if accessing BETDAQ via VPS from a restricted country (Italy, Austria) it is possible to deposit and withdraw funds without any problem or not?

Bet Angel doesn't have a server edition for BETDAQ on VPS or am I wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Thats the point of a VPN .. it makes the computer appear to be in whichever country u choose.

So, if u choose a UK location, if u log-in to the betdaq website, from within a VPN, u wont have a problem.

Thank you megarain!

I read that it isn't possible to deposit funds using a VPN, but don't know if it's the same with a VPS and a personal IP.

There are many VPN products .. just google top 10 etc.

I think software gets blocked through the API anyway so even if you used vpn to deposit money I don't think you can use software. It use to be fine until shortly after they merged with Ladbroke for me. Not tried for over a year though.

Was kind of expecting the same with betfair now they merged but has been fine so far.

I used VPS from tagadab.it in January. Although the server was located in London, because of the reverse DNS entry in the tagadab.it domain my IP was recognized as italian and I was blocked for deposits or withdrawals, still being able to access my account anytime. I tried various VPN services without any success, not knowing that BetDaq had to unban my account.
Yesterday I chatted with the costumer service and they told me about the block due to the IP classificated as Italian from their system and restored my permissions. I registered a new VPS on tagadab.com and now I can make deposits via Skrill. Bet Angel works fine.

I have set up BetFair with Austria as my location at BetFair is available in Austria.
However, being a digital nomad, I am basically abroad all the time and needed a solution to continue to access BetFair from whichever country I am in.
I subscribed with NordVPN as it is being praised as the best solution for BetFair and a number of major bookmakers like Bet365.
Unfortunately, I had to find out that using NordVPN when I'm away from Austria, I cannot access Bet365 at all. I can access BetFair and login and browse the site but I cannot place any bets in the sportsbook or on the exchange.
The error I get is:
The following bet(s) could not be placed: Most likely this is due to you being located in a country where we currently can't offer our services.

To my surprise, when I contacted BetFair support, they knew exactly in which country I was and told me that from that country I could only access my account and browse the site but could not place any bets or trade. They told me that BETFAIR ONLY ALLOWS BETTING FROM WITHIN THE COUNTRY SAVED IN THE ACCOUNT.
When I then confronted NordVPN with the fact, that BetFair was able to see my location although me being connected to BetFair through their Austrian VPN server, they had to admit, that VPN cannot in all cases hide the location.

So then, VPN is totally useless for the purposes of accessing BetFair (or restricted bookmakers).

The only hope left is VPS. I am now trying to find out if there BetAngel VPS is available in Austria. If there is none, then I will have to get me a any VPS and install on it BetAngel myself.

Hi Maxbettor!

Do you really have access to the betfair-exchange with an austrian account?
As far as I know you have only access to the sportsbook with an austrian account.

best regards!

He would have to change the country of residence on the account either way, no?

I can't say for sure as I am currently not in Austria and not already have a VPS.

I think it would be helpful for a lot of people around the world if there was a pinned thread with the current up-to-date list of accessible countries for the main exchange, along with VPS solutions and instructions below it etc.

Unsere Wettbörse (Exchange) steht bedauerlicherweise unseren Kunden in Deutschland bzw. Österreich nicht zur Verfügung steht. Wir möchte Sie daher auf unsere Festquoten-Märkte (Sportsbook) hinweisen."

This is copied from the betfair - faq's
It says that the exchange is not available for austria and germany - only the sportsbook

Does that mean that I would not be able to use the exchange even if I used a UK-based VPS because I have registered with BetFair from Austria?
