Using Betfair in Spain

You can probably get a bet on but would you want to risk being put in a spanish jail?

Thought site was being blocked in Spain?

use a proxy or give someone else access to your account whilst u r on holiday

They are allowed to operate as a regular bookie,so no exchange unless you can get access with a proxy or something.

Anyone recommend a proxy and how to set it up?

is this a new law? i managed to get access when i went in march

I think it came into force June/July.

Is it possible using mobile app?

Yeah this is a new law,Betfair got their license to operate as a regular bookie in june.

if you have a machine you can leave switched on in UK (or get someone to switch it on when required) you can use remote access to that machine e.g. http://www.gotomypc.com/remote_access/remote_access (30 day free trial )

Cheers themover. Definitely something to consider :-).

no you can't I've just come back from there, but there are ways around it.

I used it a couple of weeks ago there through the hotel internet terminals no problem.

So you can only use betfair as a bookie in Spain (I mean legally) ? no exchange?
I guess other countries might follow as well, we are all fukced.

kal if ur an addict jail wudnt faze u

But betquack is your friend.

I guess other countries might follow as well, we are all fukced.

Might follow ? Already done it more like. Almost every country in Europe has banned BF or bringing in turnover taxes leaving BF the only option of running the farkin Sportsbook.

Germany trying their hardest now to follow France, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Belgium etc.

You don`t know how lucky you are to be over there & safe!

Hey at least the Porn is legal....

I guess at some point we are all going to move to England
RAPS, where am I (there & safe?)

Whatabout gibraltar

I used it a couple of weeks ago there through the hotel internet terminals no problem.

Must've been using proxies then. The new law came into force on 1st June I think. Even if you sign up to the Spanish site, betfair.es, there's no horse racing.
