Good morning all, first time poster here so please go easy on me.

I've been reading and learning a lot about trading and am keen to get started however, in February I'm due to move to Portugal for work for 2 years. I saw that Betfair isnt available in Portugal at the moment so I was wondering if I'll be able to still trade if I use a VPN? Has anyone ever had a similar experience?

I already have an account with Betfair and will retain a UK address so proving my UK residency when it comes to drawing funds shouldn't be a problem.

Many thanks in advance!

You can use a VPN to connect, though technically it's against Betfair terms to be in another country and use a VPN, but lots of people do it.

Using a Virtual Private Server (VPS) could be a viable solution for your situation. A VPS allows you to remotely access a server that is located in a different country, such as the UK, where Betfair is available. This means that any connection you make with Betfair will always originate from the VPS, which would be in a location where Betfair is not restricted. It's a common method used by traders who travel or live in countries where Betfair is not available directly.
