BetFair in France

I believe you could avoid the KYC checks, if you only use Moneybookers or Paypal to fund/withdraw from accounts.

I don't know for certain as  I live in UK.  It would clearly be better to use an address from a UK friend, but it really needs to be someone who didn't use BetFair since they don't actually condone multiple accounts.

hi
i live in bulgaria, i opened a second account using moneybookers, all was ok for about 2 months then they closed my 2nd account until i proved my address etc.

There's lot issues.

1. Against BetFair TOS.
2. Breaking the LAW (French Law)
3. I recently read that PC charges are by person not account (so commission versus profit is calcualted over multiple accounts if you have more then 1) {don't know about data charges}
4. Who ever opens the account for you will have to do deposits & withdrawals for you (trust??)
5. Tax implications in country residence

As I have said before you need someone you trust and trust you ... best if they don't even have a BetFair account or interest in gambling.

Good luck with your searcgh.

Hi,
I think that the Rubold solution works but surely with the risk of not being able to withdraw money then. Another risk: BetFair can definitely close my account ... 1oser, you're right too. Then, I plan may be to create an English company (tax implications OK), with a combined English (for verification of KYC) and a server based in the UK (in the words Rubold). But it's a little difficult to set up and more expansive !

I always use VPN when I go to France for a long weekend vacation. It kinda fun to play even if you are out of the country. That works well for me.

By the way, do you also pay monthly when using a VPN? How much does it cost to get set up?
