silverun Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 :@ Anybody had a problem registering for poker co's with an AOL ip address:@ Betway say they can't register me because the American law says they have to block ip addresses from AOL. I suggested they can check and see my location is in the UK but to no avail. Their solution is to switch ISP that's ok and I may want switch in the future but I'm signed up for 12 months. :puke USAlaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heniek31 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Re: American Law applies in the UK I have had the same problem with Betway since yesterday :eyes. I'm with AOL, but never had any problems. I have to say, my Betway poker works fine. But when I'm trying to login in a sportsbook comes error "wrong location". That was respond to my complaint: Dear, Probably your IP address is american and therefore you cannot log in. Try to log in from another IP and you will succeed. Kind regards That means, if I want to place a bet, they expect me to run 3 miles to internet cafe :wall. Never mind. I will do it with other bookie. The only problem is, when I want to withdraw money from poker. I has to be done from sportsbook :@. Well, I might go for a run then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyacinthgirl Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Re: American Law applies in the UK I had been looking into redirecting US traffic, and read at a couple places that all AOL users are treated as if they are from the US. I don't know much about proxies, but are you able to use an anonymous proxy server to visit the sites? Ah, I guess that wouldn't work for if you were trying to play on a downloaded version. I guess the solution is to ditch AOL. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocket Lady Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Re: American Law applies in the UK The other night I tried to refer a friend on Neteller and because their email addy was an AOL one it wouldn't let me :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverun Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Re: American Law applies in the UK Created a Betway account at work and tried it at home but still refused access. I am committed to AOL for another 10 months so Betway will have to struggle on without me. :\ Thank you for your responses:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
