Matched Betting as a side hustle is typically restricted to the UK geographically.
This restriction is caused by the limited licensing that betting sites can obtain. The likes of Bet365, SkyBet and PaddyPower etc. are only licensed in the territory of the UK, and will fail to work for users abroad.
Can I continue matched betting on holiday?
Although it may be a good idea to take a break from matched betting every now and then for holidays, matched betting can still be done abroad if you follow the right steps.
A well working VPN will usually allow you to spoof your location into believing you are still in the UK, granting access to UK bookmakers - we recommend NORD VPN. Although this may be a short term fix, it is not a sustainable strategy if your permanent residence is overseas.
How to continue matched betting out of the UK
As mentioned above, usual UK bookmakers are inaccessible abroad. However, this presents more opportunities. There are a whole host of new bookmakers to use which are not available in the UK.
Extras you should be aware of:
In many countries, gambling winnings are not tax free. In some places all profit is taxable, others have a tax free threshold. You have full responsibility to understand the tax laws in that country.
