ValDes Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Sorry to disappoint you guys, but yesterday we get the next potion of bad news, concerning all online gamblers residing in Bulgaria! According to а decision of the Court in Sofia form 17/06/2013 and the State Commission on Gambling, all internet providers must restrict any access to some of the biggest players in the online gambling market, because of license issues, connected with the new Gambling Act in Bulgaria. Here follows the full list of restricted operators: GlobetBet7daysBet-at-homeBetfairBetfredbetuniqEfbetJetbullLadbrokesmorganbetOffsidebetplanetwin365DoxxbettempobetSportingbetUnibet888 casinoBet365goldbetsports No further comment! qznhgzeq, BimaMaspmat, ZeknusneloneM and 23 others 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValDes Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 I wonder have state any gambling-monopoly in Bulgaria or what is reason of thatkind of law... The answer of your question is quite simple and it's called "taxes"! My government is on a mission to "put its hands" onto the online transaction to and from online operators. And now all operators, who do not agree with this are restricted?! Stupid decision without any doubt and almost impossible to achieve but yet more than 100 000 Bulgarian players are now suffering... And it is not over yet. next week we expect this list to be increased with another 20 or more online oprators?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not Bulgarian but just out of interest what does this mean Valdes? That people from Bulgaria are only allowed to play at those casinos?

ValDes Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 It means that from now on these websites are restricted by all internet providers in Bulgaria and thus Bulgarian players are not able to play at these operators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow!! I hope nothing like that comes into legislation here...I'd be suicidal lol...just kidding. I was watching a program only last night actually about gambling and addictions in the UK, and they are trying to get some act in force here...doubt anything will happen though..in fact..this gives me an idea for another thread I wanted to start Luciana 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValDes Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Actually UKGC is ''on fire'' right now and preparing to imply new standards for licensing and regulation across the territory of the UK in the next couple of years! So, I guess there will be significant changes for the UK players, as well as for the Bulgarian players, in the near future! cocopop3011 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thammavongsa Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 But what i think they can use proxy website to run their favorite Casino sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValDes Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yes, but don't forget that most online operators do not like the idea of using proxy servers at all! And they will even punish you for this... cocopop3011 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickJoce Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Proxy or VPS will do the trick if no Law for no online gambling is set.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValDes Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Guys, you are missing something important here. Online casinos are using sophisticated IT systems and geotargeting, which could easily resolve any IP and report when a proxy is detected and/or a VPN! And I know some casinos, which will ban you in the very first second if such an issue occurs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You maybe are right about the Proxy, but using a VPS is pretty much bulletproof unless Casinos/Bookies rules apply or have been banned from operating in the Country.

Your right Valdes I don't remember what casino I was now but I had a problem with this around Christmas time I even had to phone the casino that's when they told me I was using a proxy server...I didn't Ben know what a proxy server was lol. And I wasn't using one anyway...I got the problem sorted anyway but no they dont like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peleus Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think some ISPs have this configured so they could save some cash. If the reason was valid though, then I guess they would also understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
