  • 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.

  • 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?
