try Betdaq.....I'm in the same boat as you (German resident)....I have a Betdaq account and haven't been given any notice from them....If you do open an account, I wouldn't bring up the issue with them..

...have a few ideas on getting around the betfair ban....such as a short term bedsit rental in UK, etc....costs a bit, but it's the cost of doing business :cry:

....only problem with that is if Betfair block German i.p. addresses....but as far as that goes, the e-mail mentioned that the full site would still be accessible to German residents.

Yes, we only learned this ourselves today.

A techie guy i know suggests that a proxy address would make your I P address appear to be in the UK and so you would be able to access your Betfair account while abroad. Any one have experience of this , or comments .?

Does BA works in Germany?
I mean if it stills communicates with BF (shows markets,odds moving etc)(even though it can not place bets)

Thanks

I don't think so. I bet they'll shut down all areas by next year.

Because i'm not allowed to bet on the betfair betting exchange from Germany i canceled the subscription for Betfair Betting Assistant.

What good is a good software and a competent support if the betting exchange is no longer available?

Gary and Mark, thank you for everything so far. I am sure I will be using your services again, if the law changes accordingly.

For the moment the exclusion means a lot of lost work for me.

Hi,

There are many good companies providing VPN services. The one I use when in France is http://www.uk2.net/vpn/

This costs about £6 a month automatically recurring each month unless you cancel 10 days (check terms and conditions) or so before renewal.

Hope this is of help.
