Finding a bookmaker who accepts Irish

One option is to find a bookmaker who basically accepts players from all countries. Among the hundred or more existing bookmakers, you’ll always find a few who will accept you. That’s the fastest option. You don’t need to do anything other than sign up with the bookmaker of your choice. And if you’re unsure whether or not a bookmaker will accept you, all you have to do is try! It will only take a few minutes (the time to fill a registration form) and you’ll be set.

However, you shouldn’t select a bookmaker too quickly; there are those who will accept your registration but will refuse to pay back your winnings because the banking information you provided is on an account from Ireland. You need to be especially vigilant because your bank might prove to be very inquisitive and talkative.

Using a VPN

You might also opt to use a VPN. The VPN will easily alter your computer’s IP address in order to make bookmakers believe that you live abroad. That way they’ll accept you with no questions asked. This option is the easiest because whichever bookmaker you choose, in a few seconds you can change your computer’s location in order to avoid potential checks.

However, you’ll need to pay attention to payments of money on your account. As a matter of fact, while you may manage to create an account with a bookmaker abroad by lying about your actual country of residence, the details of your bank accounts, on the other hand, may not be scrambled by the VPN. You may succeed in fooling some bookmakers sites with virtual wallets like Neteller, but not all, so stay vigilant and withdraw your winnings regularly. Also think about an alternative called PaySafeCard, a subsidiary of Skrill, that will allow you to deposit money with bookmakers with complete peace of mind.

And so if you’re looking to gamble with a .com bookmaker but without using a VPN, it’s probably because you realized that continuing to play with nationally licensed bookmakers wasn’t lucrative. In addition to only offering very low odds, with winnings taxed, these bookmakers provide little security (in theory, regulation is supposed to protect you, but in practice, it’s inefficient, filled with loopholes and too slow to function effectively).

As a result numerous bookmakers who possess GRAI licences are fraught with cheating, scams and a lack of safety. So you’ll be better protected by playing with global bookmakers, who have millions of players and a reputation to protect rather than within a badly regulated micro structure.
