Why go to all this trouble? Pick another on-line betting site and be done with it!

Or is their a particular reason to stick with this on-line betting company????

I like to use the 'best odds guaranteed' bookmakers and there aren't that many of them - I have had the same problem with several of them already with 3 having closed my account and a few of the others severely restricting the size of my bets.

It is not that I am staking huge amounts or winning a fortune - you really don't need to be very successful nowadays to be shut down. I think really they are more interested in bingo and casinos now and don't really care too much if they lose the horse racing punters.

No wonder the bookies make big profits.
It's pretty pathetic the way they dump their customers if they think they're not complete mugs.

I can't see how they get around EU legislation in that respect, as they're German based.

The thread is a bit old, but I thought I'd add some info.
The Anonimous hackers (definitely more tech savvy than the average person...) thought a proxy would hide their identity too....:

The FBI tracked Kretsinger through the user logs at web proxy provider Hidemyass.com, a commercial VPN proxy service he allegedly used to mask his IP address and identity.

Nothing escapes the US government protecting national (government and private corps) interest, they even fined Swiss banks for helping us citizens evade taxes, effectively forcing one to close....

Do you mean that YOU were evading taxes or did you mean US ?

The best software I found for this was hotspot shield (google it). It gives you an IP address of someone in America, I used to use it to watch American TV shows.

From what I've seen it won't really help the OP, you can only use it on certain websites, it's a firefox/crome add-on rather than a proper proxy.

According to this thread:

(see post 7)

it comes complete with a built in keystroke logger . . .:eek:

After v1.13 update, AdAware scan alerted to a "level 10" trojan keystroke logger
Very difficult to remove once installed
