Hi all

Sorry for the invasion, but I'm sure someone can answer me.
In this moment, Italians can freely bet in Betfair? Why ask?
I lived in Portugal for a long time. For quite some time (maybe a year), I have to (I'm moving) living in Italy.
How can I continue to bet on Betfair. Or use Betangel? I'm not a big trader or bettor, but I like to bet from time to time (or maybe a little more).
What is the real situation of Btfair in Italy?
What are the bookmakers where you can bet live on the internet.
I tried to open here, Betfair website and another couple, but fail.
Basically, I can not open any of the bookmakers site without appearing notice of warning: "AVVERTENZA - SITO NON RAGGIUNGIBILE - WARNING - DO NOT ACCESSIBLE SITE."
Is there any solution?

Thank you.

Hi Anka, try this and please let me know if works!
Go to Control Panel>Network Connections and select your local network.
Click Properties, then select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Click Properties.

You will see a window which is the Internet Protocol window. Select "Use the following DNS server addresses" and enter the desired DNS server(s) in the space(s) provided.
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
P.S. If you had already an account, this should work.
If you used betangel , they can't block you but you still need to open the betfair page to fund your account or withdraw your winnings!

Hello hanka, now I do not know when you arrive in Italy, but what you suggested is valid giulio2010 to circumvent the blackout AAMS, and connect to the site .Com, but we are all waiting for the start of the Exchange Italian (European) that is expected to be short (one speaks of April, but with an election perhaps slips) and here I think, problems will arise,first because we'll all be diverted to the new platform .it of Betfair and I doubt that it betangel can connect to the new platform, at least initially, partly because the Italian government in the European Union has given the green light at the exchange, but asking for changes to Betfair , first of all,the establishment of a liquidity "European" that will be accessed in the future, all member states, but we should be the first, I have to laugh at the beginning there will be little cash, then know that there could be any difficulty in 'ordinary use of the trading in the coming days and / or months,by virtue of this displacement.
For all other sites, however it is sufficient to circumvent the blackout, and you can bet with confidence!

Hi Anka

I had the same problem here in Italy with the main Betfair website.
I contacted them and they advised all existing customers should use a different web address http://sports.w-con.betfair.com
when accessing from Italy which works okay for me.
Hope this helps!

Italian residents, sports and liquidity only. No external link to main exchange apparently.
