For countries that are not included in either of these lists, the situation is a little grey. Betfair will allow you to set up an account, but you are likely to be restricted to specific areas of the Betfair site. Some markets might not be available to you.

If you wish to use your Betfair account when travelling abroad at any of the restricted countries or non-specified countries, you will only be able to do so through a VPN (virtual private network). You should ensure that using a VPN is legal in that particular country. We recommend that you DO NOT try to use a VPN to access Betfair in the following countries:

• Belarus
• China
• Iran
• Iraq
• North Korea
• Oman
• Russia
• Turkey
• UAE
