Unable to access betting websites

Thought I'd have a little bet on the England game tonight, but cannot access any betting website on any device.  

Is there a way to disable something on my laptop so that I can get into the websites?

if its "any device" then its unlikely to be something on your devices... have you tried using a smartphone using cellular data rather than wifi?

No.  I haven't tried that so far.  I will give it a go.  Thank you.  

I can access other websites, so don't think it's a internet problem.  Just the normal betting sites, it says "this site can't provide a secure connection."

The multiple devices having the same problem is the oddity and would suggest something that's in common on all of them. 

Security certificate issues can be caused by your system clock being wrong so double check that its setup to auto set itself but again multiple devices having the wrong time/date is unlikely. You can also try using a different browser, again some are more sensitive to others. 

Obviously if the "any device" is just actually 1 device then that's slightly different.

If you have it, try disabling your anti-virus software.

I have managed to place a £2 bet (go me!) on my phone by turning of wi-fi.  Guess it's all good that barriers are in place and maybe I shouldn't tamper with them!

So what percent do I get if you win?  

You can donate it to Médecins Sans Frontières

It is probably your ISP's family safety (or whatever they call their meddling). If you say who your ISP is someone can advise how to call them off. We are in our 70's without dependents, I would be annoyed if my ISP stops me going where I want on the web

If you want to take them up then fine, but I look out for our net safety. You can also make proactive decisions for your selves if you have kids, or even old codgers like me, but I will get around those and so will most teens.

Are you using a VPN ?  Betting sites will block you.

are you sure about this?I use express VPN which seem to work fine with pretty much any site.
