Betfair Exchange in Spain.

[Dahlia1973]

Hi there,

Any help gratefully received.

I am a resident in Spain and until June 2012 had an exchange account with no problems( all horse racing ). This was all changed after the election of a new Spanish Government, and no more Exchange betting was permitted.

I know that they have a Sports book but is anyone aware if the Exchange will be allowed again for horse racing? I did use WBX for a while until they packed up.

Googling all this gives contradictory answers.

Cheers,

Hello mate,

With time the market will eventually come back, but unless big changes in the exchange regulations occur, there will be no money flowing, so basically a useless exchange.

P.S: There are ways to bet on UKs exchange, though not “legal” and not easy to achieve it with your real identity.

Hi Viktor,

Thanks for that — looks like I will have to move to Gibraltar which I can see out my window!

From 2000 until 2012 I had a Betfair exchange account in Spain funded with GB pounds and access to every market – happy days!

Cheers.

Very much this. I love my bear, he was tunnelling for – and, indeed, to – England when I was in the States recently.

That could be an option. If you know someone from over there, you can register in his/her address, etc.
Later to get access you would just need VPN access which is relatively easy to get.

I also miss those days, everything was much easier.

Thanks Viktor,

I have thought of that as well and will make enquiries.
