I would like to hide my IP address

[vogelpfeife]

I would like to hide my IP address with some software as gambling is forbidden where I live. Is this a wise move?

 

[LaHutti]

Personally ...but that's just me, I'd say staying within the law, is always the wisest move.
Giving advice on breaking the law is also not, in my opinion, a wise thing to do.

That said, hiding your IP address might not be something casinos would look upon with joy, as they use your IP address to make sure you are who you say you are, and that you are where you say you are.
All in all, I think it could cause you a lot of trouble doing something like that, especially in case of a big withdrawal, where I'm pretty sure, they'll see that you're doing something abnormal, and would wonder why. Usually, if they start "wondering", doesn't excactly speed things up in a good way, and no matter what, it would be an excellent excuse for them not to pay you.

I would suggest that it is not a good idea. Are you saying you are I.P blocked because of your government or that casinos do not accept players from your jurisdiction.

If it is that casinos do not accept players from where you reside then, the chances are that the casino will deny you payment based on the country you reside anyway.

If it is to claim multiple bonus offer, then its definitely a no no.

If it is illegal where you live, how do you get gambling transactions through?

 

[Casinomeister]

The bottom line is it's up to you to know your gambling law. If you try to spoof your IP, the casino will figure it out anyway and possibly confiscate your winnings - perhaps even your deposit. Please read the casino's terms and conditions carefully.

Honesty is the best policy - if you try to fake something, you will usually get caught out.

Thanks very much LaHutti. I think the same as you. I'm just looking down different avenues and seeing what options I have. Your a wise man like Mr. Franklin.


Another question if you don't mind?

That is... ...I opened an account with NETELLER which was pretty straight forward but I started to get problems when I wanted to transfer money from my visa account in the UK to NETELLER.

4 times it was declined and what annoyed me most about it is that NETELLER charged me each time totaling 7.70 sterling.
I wrote and complained to NETELLER yesterday and now it seems that they want to ignore me as I've heard no reply from them.
On the other hand I already have a PAY PAL account. Does that work as good as NETELLER?

Neteller have pretty solid anti-fraud measures (unlike Skrill ) as so probably blocked your transaction because the deposit attempt is coming from a different country to your registered address.
Although Neteller work 24/7, I don't think their e-mail response time is that great. Whenever I had a problem with them, using the phone was much better and they always got me sorted out quickly.
(My problems were all due to accessing my Neteller account while I was on holiday in a different country from where I live)

PayPal is only an option at a handful of UK based casinos - mainly the ones who also have Sportsbooks.
The vast majority of other casinos will not accept payments by this method.

Thanks for your feed back I really appreciate good advice. Looks like I'll have to take a trip to Cambodia.

Do you mean that you will cross over to Cambodia just to be able to sign up and play online?
You still have to give the casinos your real adress, and be able to send in documents that verify that you are who you say you are. Not all casinos allowes you to play from any other country either, so you will have to tell them why you're doing what you're doing. Not a good plan I say.
If you're saying you're going to Cambodia to play on a landbased casino, then it will all be fine

Good one! Something to look into before I go (if I go).
Gambling in Cambodia is legal and I was planing to stay at one of the casino hotels or in the near from one depending on the internet connection. These are things that I have look into and ask around.

Up to now I haven't decided which online casinos I will choose but now that you mentioned the possible scenarios of playing on-line outside the country of residence. Looks I will have do some more homework
Another possible country is Burma whose boarder is near to where I live.

Documentation and proof of who I am is not an issue. All that has already been scanned. My UK bank account has me registered at my Thai home. And yesterday I also got a call from a lady representing NETELLER asking me for my ID info. Now my NETELLER account is up and running only problem with it is that I have not been able to deposit any funds into it as yet, which is another issue I have to sort out.

As soon as find out more about the above I will keep you all informed at CM.

Thanks for the info. It's well appreciated. I have a little wall to climb before I get the chance to get to play with real cash, but slowly, slowly things are getting ironed out thanks to you peeps at CM.

All online banking establishments have stringent security software guarding them, and I would imagine the banking sections in casinos also use similar protection ware, this software will take milliseconds to notice you are hiding behind relayed proxy servers and the alarm bells will ring.

Absolutely correct! I fully agree with you. I have been in touch with a couple casinos which have been given the green light by CM and they have given me the options from Cambodia which will work well enough

Yw , and i`m glad everything worked out well for you, it`s a way better option to work out what will suit your needs legitimately, rather than bend the rules to make amends .

Of course anyone *CAN* hide their I.P address, but why would you want to? there is no legit reason why anyone needs to or wants to hide it.

Hide IP Address

The most common methodology to hide IP address *snip* is to use a proxy server in one type or another. A proxy server may be a pc that gives a network service to permit purchasers to form indirect network connections to alternative network services. A consumer connects to the proxy server so requests a association, file, or alternative resource on the market on a distinct server. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the required server or by serving it from a cache. In some cases, the proxy might alter the client's request or the server's response for numerous functions.

which is why you don't want to be using one at casinos. If you do, you will end up like Crista from Romania having to go through tedious verification procedures because the casino is convinced you are trying to operate multiple accounts.

If there is a specific circumstance that requires the use of a proxy service, it is important to clear this with the casino first. It's the same with two members of a household playing, some casinos will allow it if asked beforehand.

most places can detect if a proxy is being used. I bet Casinomeister can confirm this if he wanted.

Certain free streaming services (off the top of my head, Hulu in the USA and iPlayer in the UK) require you to be watching from a computer located in that country. That's just one example

So, you would use it for such services, but you would have to remember to switch it off for casinos, or face a more thorough verification process when withdrawing. The reason for the streaming services is that they try to restrict them to certain countries, which they know is pointless because of the nature of the internet, but they have to go through the motions to please the content owners. Proxies are for circumventing these restrictions, so of course casinos think that players using a proxy are trying to circumvent some of the casino's own restrictions, such as the one account per player rule, or playing from a banned country. A VPN has the same kind of effect, but does not necessarily need the use of a proxy to achieve safety and anonymity.

Online casinos can't pay winnings to an anonymous player (money laundering rules), so this is why it can cause such problems.

 

[Dipity]

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating the use of a proxy/vpn to get access to a casino, far from it. Once you were found out, you run the risk of being blacklisted and your deposits confiscated.

Was just saying that there are some legitimate uses for wanting to hide your ip address.

 

[dionysus]

ya, like spamming your ex

 

[dinaafifi]

I personally tried this VPN software *snip* to hide my IP address and to open any blocked website everywhere. There are many servers. all servers are encrypted, this one worked great for me.
