I am looking at investing in Bet Angel primarily to trade on horse racing but noticed that there is the option of going through a virtual trader which has a UK IP address.
In Australia we can trade in play only on horse racing but not on sports. Does using a UK IP address make it possible to bet in play on sports from Australia?
I understand it is illegal to bet on sports in play in Australia - I was just wondering if it was possible!
I believe there are proxy servers that can be used as well - if one wanted to bet in play from Australia would this work - hypothetically!!

Thanks Gazuty,
If I am interpreting the information you supplied correctly it is not an offence to use interactive gambling services (eg. betting in play on sports)in Australia. It seems the gist of the legislation is to prevent service providers from advertising or actively providing these services.
I would need to use a proxy server with an overseas IP address to be able to access in play sports markets through betfair. If I wished to use Bet Angel would I also need to use the virtual server or is this not necessary if I am using a proxy server such as Hide My Ass?
