How to access Bet365 from abroad

Bet365 is available in many parts of the world, but it isn’t available in China, Hungary, Romania, and many other markets because of legal and licensing restrictions. If you’re traveling abroad, you may be able to access Bet365 by using a VPN to connect to a server in a supported region such as the UK or Germany.

That said, this method only works on the web version. The Bet365 app may reveal your true location through other means. We should note that using VPNs is against Bet365’s terms of service, so the platform often blocks connections from VPN servers. The terms also state Bet365 can lock your account and withhold winnings, so try this at your own risk.

Below, we’ll explain how to access Bet365 from abroad with a VPN, cover troubleshooting tips, and highlight the best server locations for Bet365. We’ll also look at whether a dedicated IP is worth the extra couple of dollars to avoid VPN-related access problems.

How to access Bet365 from abroad with a VPN

A VPN lets you change your IP address so it looks like you’re accessing Bet365 from elsewhere. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Subscribe to a VPN for Bet365. I prefer NordVPN, as it offers the best performance and plenty of locations where Bet365 is available. Surfshark is a decent, secure alternative for budget users, while ExpressVPN’s Pro plans include a dedicated IP.
2. Install the VPN app. All these VPNs have apps for most popular platforms, including Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.
3. Connect to a server in a supported region. Bet365 works in most places worldwide, but I’ll include which servers worked best later.
4. Access the Bet365 website and log in. The app may use other device signals to give away your location, so use the site version to avoid issues.

If Bet365 is still giving you trouble, I’ve included a few potential fixes in the next section.

Bet365 VPN not working? Here’s how to fix it

Betting sites are stubborn about VPN use, and Bet365 is no different. If you’re having trouble accessing Bet365 from abroad, here are some tips to get it working again:

• Clear your cookies and cache: Old browser data can give away your location, so clear your browser data and restart it before accessing Bet365 again.
• Use Bet365 in an Incognito window: Open Bet365 in a private window to prevent stored cookies and browser data from affecting the connection.
• Connect to another VPN server: If your current server doesn’t work, try another one in the same location, with a fresh Incognito window.
• Switch to a different country: If one VPN location fails, try another country where Bet365 operates. The platform may be more likely to block connections from regions with higher levels of VPN use or suspicious activity.
• Always use the Bet365 site, not the app: The Bet365 app can use your device’s location services or other signals, which may conflict with your VPN connection. Try accessing the site through your web browser instead.
• Try a different connection: If you’re on mobile data, switch to Wi-Fi (or vice versa), then reconnect to the VPN and try Bet365 again.
• Contact your VPN’s customer support: Your VPN provider can check whether its servers work with Bet365 and suggest servers that still allow access.
• Use a dedicated IP: A dedicated IP gives you an address that fewer users share, which can reduce blocks caused by heavily used VPN IPs when accessing Bet365.

Which countries block Bet365?

If you try to access Bet365 from an unsupported location, you may see a generic browser error, a warning from the local gambling authority, or a local “This page is not available in your country” message, such as the one below when you connect from Hungary.

Another error message you might encounter is simply ‘Sorry, you have been blocked’, like the message below when trying to access Bet365 from New York.

The exact message will depend on where you’re located and how gambling access is restricted there. As for which countries block Bet365, the company doesn’t maintain a public list of every country where it’s unavailable, while third-party lists are often outdated or inconsistent.

The easiest way to tell if Bet365 will be blocked on your next trip abroad is to check the local laws around online gambling and sports betting. If they’re prohibited or Bet365 doesn’t have a license to operate in the region (such as in China, following their 2025 exit from the market), then access is likely to be restricted.

Which VPN server locations are best for Bet365?

Traveling abroad and ran into a “This page is not available in your country” error on Bet365? Then you’ll need to connect to a VPN server in a country where the service operates, such as:

• The UK
• Canada (excluding Ontario)
• Germany
• Norway
• Denmark
• Sweden
• Spain
• Australia

Note that Bet365 and similar sites frequently block VPN IPs, so you may have to do some server-hopping (or try a dedicated IP) if you’re unlucky.

Testing methodology: How I chose the best VPNs for Bet365

Not all VPNs are secure and fast enough for sports betting and other activities where money’s on the line, and even fewer work with Bet365 abroad. Here’s how I picked the VPNs I’ve recommended in this guide:

• Servers where Bet365 works: I tested servers in several Bet365 markets to see which VPNs could actually reach the site from abroad.
• Fast performance: You don’t want a betting site taking ages to load when you’re trying to check the odds before they move. I checked speeds and stability to make sure Bet365 loaded quickly and the connection didn’t drop out of nowhere.
• Privacy and security: You’re trusting a VPN with a lot of your internet traffic, so I looked for providers with strong encryption and clear no-logging policies, and tested them for IP and DNS leaks.
• Dedicated IP available: Shared VPN addresses can get lumped together and blocked when other users abuse the service. Extra points to VPNs that offer dedicated IPs as a way around some of those headaches.
• Easy to use apps: If you have to dig through five menus just to switch servers when Bet365 blocks the one you’re using, then it’s not worth your time. I tested the desktop and mobile apps to see how quickly I could connect and change locations.
• Value for price: Nobody wants to pay a premium for a VPN that barely works with Bet365. I compared the cost against the features, performance, and number of useful locations each service provides.

Do I need a dedicated IP to access Bet365 from abroad?

When you use a VPN, you normally share a single IP address with hundreds, or even thousands of other users. This is great for privacy, but it can cause issues like more CAPTCHAs or getting blocked from services like Bet365 for “suspicious activity.” Top VPN providers rotate shared IPs and use other tactics to keep users accessing these sites, but some may still get blocked.

A dedicated IP isn’t shared with other VPN users, which can provide a more consistent connection and avoid some of the problems associated with shared VPN addresses.

That said, it’s not a guaranteed safety net, and Bet365’s terms of service prohibit the use of VPNs, so use it at your own risk. Also note that dedicated IPs are usually paid add-ons on top of a VPN subscription, though ExpressVPN includes one as part of their Pro plan.
