I am off to the Med in a couple of weeks. I know from a previous excursion that BF is a no no. But does that apply to all Betting sites. If so does that mean I have to go cold turkey on my hols. Appreciate any advice, thanks.

I have just returned from the Costa del Sol, earlier in the year Benidorm, plus 3 other Spanish resorts all this year... We like our holidays!

All I do is turn off WiFi and I can get on BF Sportsbook and exchange and Bet356 just like at home, with English language sites... Obviously just using my data... I know others talk about having to use a VPN but for Spain at least, I never need to.

Thanks Reg sounds good, phew! Last year I was baffled about using a VPN and didn't really understand, so gave up.

Well, that's my experiences, easyrider, don't take it as gospel... I know others do have problems, don't know if it's to do with which network you are on? I'm with Tesco mobile which piggyback off O2 or EE I think?
And that's just Spain

I don't think I explained myself very well, I missed out the important bit, I shall be on a Cruise in the med. Has that put the mockers on it.

Possibly, hopefully someone else will chip in
I think the VPN may be the answer, I don't think it's that difficult but never used one myself

Good luck

At sea you'll probably have to use the ship's satellite connection.

My advice, instead of giving your money to betfair give it to the barman.

A VPN will get you on Betfair, not b365.

As Reg says best just to turn off your phones Wi-Fi and use data. Will get all sites then.

Thank you guys. Shall have to swat up on VPNs.

I use a chromebook and getting a VPN to work on it is painful.

Interesting advice kenbo

I use a free one called TunnelBear, Easy. Plenty good enough for places bets.
