I want to be able to get a Draft Kings sports book account - Anyone doing this ? I dont have VPN experience.
Hey there! Using a VPN to set up a DraftKings Sportsbook account in a banned state can be risky—not only could it violate DraftKings’ terms of service, but if they detect your real location, they may freeze your account or deny withdrawals. Even if it works initially, you could run into verification issues (like providing proof of address) down the road.
Instead, many people in states where online sports betting isn’t fully legal use offshore sportsbooks. While these sites aren’t regulated by your state’s gaming commission, they’re licensed in other jurisdictions and have been around for quite a while. A few popular platforms often recommended include:
- Known for user-friendly navigation and a wide variety of sports (NFL, NBA, MLB, etc.).
- Offers a 50% sign-up bonus up to $750 for new users.
- Competitive odds and a comprehensive sportsbook.
- 50% sign-up bonus up to $1,000 on your first deposit.
- Great live betting options and a large mix of bonuses (125% sign-up, 200% crypto, and 250% casino).
- Focuses heavily on major sporting events, so plenty of markets.
- Straightforward interface with props, live in-play betting, and more.
- 100% sign-up bonus up to $500.
These platforms are popular with bettors from states that haven’t regulated online wagering statewide. They’re not tied to official state regulations, but they do provide a safe and accessible betting experience compared to trying to spoof your location on a regulated app like DraftKings.
Bottom line: If DraftKings is banned where you live, using a VPN can jeopardize your account and winnings. An alternative could be to place bets on licensed international sites like Bovada, BetOnline, BetUS, or SportsBetting.ag. Whichever route you choose, always check the site’s terms, confirm any legal concerns, and remember to bet responsibly!
Doesn’t work… but if you somehow slip through the cracks ,your account can actually be banned & I assume your funds will be seized…
Not worth it. Even if you do figure a way. And the Sports book figures out. Your account would be banned and winnings reclaimed. I wouldn’t put some of these states pasted bringing charges if you won a huge amount. I know I’m beating a dead horse. But the fact that online sports betting isn’t legal nationwide is absolutely ridiculous. I feel the same way about cannabis. But that’s a rant for another day. Best bet is if you know someone in a legal state. Have them bet for you by proxy. And if you win. Give them a taste of the profits for placing the bet for you. A lot of people I know in Virginia did that before it became legal. I still have to use a out of state proxy to bet on any college sports with Virginia home teams. In our governors infinite wisdom. It was said that it would cause corruption within the betting system. Absolutely ridiculous. I do hope you’re able to find a way to place your bets. If you do get to. Good luck with your picks. 
Yeah don’t, even if you somehow got it to work and DK found out they can 100% confiscate your funds.
I work in the industry. This is a no go. Not only can and will it get you banned, your winnings can also get confiscated.
It won’t work I tried it in Texas. You can go on bet online or bovada. Stake might work as well
No you can’t use a VPN lol
Haha I had a friend using my account in a legal state but I was also logging in from a different state. Got a suspension
Noooo and if you tried you could get banned
Their software checks your location every time you login. They’ve accounted for VPNs.
Nice try, Mr. Officer.
Betonline . Ag is a awesome sportsbook
You can use any Vpn - https://www.reddit.com/r/TheVpnEng/comments/1ebrie7/best_vpns_for_sports_betting/
I wouldn’t recommend coz you’ll need your country code n all for verification… plus if your account is detected it might even get banned … so why take the risk when you can play with crypto safely on Instand Casino… no hassles at all.
Which gambling site is flexible for vpn in Texas
I’d risk vpn with legit sportsbook before “legal” offshore bookie. Lol They’re legit scams. Don’t ever try to withdraw very much from offchore sportsbook or they’ll steal. Don’t try to withdraw very much from any other bookie using vpn because they’ll find out
Just use betonline.com no vpn needed regardless of the legality in your state!
I’ve tried, doesn’t work with draft kings or FanDuel, I’m sure you could find one of the less reputable sites
Don’t even try man. Just use offshore books.
