Hi,
Anyone from Croatia here?
Would like to know how you are accessing Betfair site and in which way to use BetAngel according to croatian goverment restriction here for banning all online sport betting sites which are outside Croatia.
When ask Betfair they have nothing against players from Croatia, it's just idiotic domestic goverment rule.
At the moment I am approaching betfair site simple by using Opera browser with their free inbuild vps.

Cheers,
Ivica

Just use Google's DNS like Betfair suggest and like everyone around the world should anyway, Betfair don't care that your ISP blocked gambling websites, you don't need VPN or whatever. It's similar to UK ISPs blocking livestreams.

Any issues drop me a PM.

"Google's DNS" I dont know what that is, ive never seen betfair post advising to use that.
Maybe betfair allows people who dont win to use that option and if its a winner they block them?

Betfair don't care who win's or losses, you are not betting against them you are betting against other individuals
They take a commission off whoever wins - if anything they'd want the more successful traders to win as they rake in loads more commission in PC

If that was true, they wouldnt have made the premium charges against winners. Thats a very unfriendly tax

Why move countries "to play Betfair" if you believe they ban winners :? Makes no sense.

I assumed you were from Croatia but since you're not you can disregard the advice to use a public DNS server.

Don't know where you're from but not sure there is a perfect country to trade from anymore, even the UK which was one of the best ones is arguably one of the worst now post-Brexit with affordability checks etc.

But wherever you move make sure to verify your information beforehand because a lot of what you said here and in the PM is just plain incorrect.

Betfair don't ban winners - unlike "Bookies'
Instead Betfair just make you pay '"Premium" charges
Same as HMRC
