I see a lot of people suggesting that OP should use VPN services to bypass the "region restrictions" ... but that is also not allowed and clearly stated in most online casinos ToS. If the casino find out that OP have been circumventing their region restrictions, with VPNs.....his account will be locked and he will have to forfeit his balance.

Yes, some casinos conveniently look the other way when you use a VPN, but when you win something big and you want to withdraw it, then suddenly the bypassing of the VPN becomes an issue.  Roll Eyes

Also, if your country have an issue with online gambling and you win something big.... then you will have to explain it to the tax authorities ...and you might get huge fines or even jail time.  Sad

With Betfair, even if they caught you using VPN, most of the time they don't even care unless you're a risk to them.
Even if they decided to close your account, most likely they will just return the balance to you and close the account.
If they close your account and confiscate your balance simply because you're using VPN, they might get into trouble with UKGC.
