Can't access Betfair in Spain!

just a simple question

if you can't access , how did you post on here ?

Only the forum.. I can't access any of the betting markets. I knew there were licensing issues but Betfair got it's license granted yesterday, so I thought everything would continue as normal.

licence in post...cant proceed until postie arrives

I get this message

How long is a moment?

if it helps it rained here all day long yesterday and has done most of this morning...at least you can go out in the sunshine for a "moment"

Cheers Adge lol, I suppose that is one plus. It was 42 degrees yesterday

A chap needs to eat though!

you'll be off for a siesta in an hr anyway, so dont fret it

The Spantards apparently have a tax law that bankrupts all gamblers anyway.  You can offset losses against wins. So breakeven day with a few winners and losers means a huge tax bill, same with poker.  All the gaming companies know about the problem, and are ignoring it (while passing on Spanish gamblers ID numbers to the authorities)

can't offset losses against wins that is

LOL 

- and I bet that Siesta last for more than, "a moment," too.

get yourself a UK Ip address so it looks like you are actually in the UK, i use VPNGates costs about 8 quid a month and i can bet on anything i want and watch iplayer etc as it thinks im in the uk.

i read somewhere that the new licence entitled them to operate a sportsbook type operation but not the exchange, there is alot of confusion but i can't see anything betfair themselves have said, it would be simimlar to this one for italy if that's the case

not sure about it, just what i picked up elsewhere

needs a bailout

der_der_73   Looks like the UK vpn is going to be the only way forward, have lost access to about a dozen bookies now. 

Question - can you choose when to use the uk vpn & when not to easily? Or is it one or the other the whole time?

Sorry that should read UK IP not UK VPN

Wish I was living out there. Constant rain over here at the moment and most of the forecasts suggest summer isn't going happen again. Got 4 layers of clothes on to keep warm.
  All the best sunbathing in the 42 degree heat.

had a weekend in Madrid 3 weeks ago...rained and overcast..came back to glorious weather in Manc

(small sample admittedly!)

came back to glorious weather in Manc

Didn't last long

Ray yeah you can choose to use it or not, you have a little connection to use..just click on it and it will create a VPN connection to the company you use and once connection you have a UK IP address.  Once you disconnect your IP address will revert back to Spain or wherever you are
