Bet365 isn't blocked in Spain, it's the only bookie I've got an account with . What I don't know is how it works in terms of trying to access a UK-registered account from Spain, don't know whether they might have any problems in that regard, but can't really help you there.

From memory (and I could be wrong on this), I think the only ones that are actively blocked are the ones that don't specifically offer a xxx.es domain. I know Paddy Power are blocked, for example

Bet365 have been tampering with something, the main page looks different, and you're right that I can't find the option to change between the different odds formats. They've definitely not removed the option to have decmal odds though, because mine are in decimal format.

Should point out that "xxx" is meant to be replaced with the name of the bookie concerned, I'm not referring to bookies having their own porn sites.

Mines still showing decimal.
I'll post the comp up in a wee while.

ODM, could your mates not use a VPN if the worst comes to the worst and they are blocked.

Nah, It's perfectly legal.
I use nord VPN which is a paid service to bypass geo restricted sites.

There is a free one though for android which I used a couple of years back while in Greece to watch the WC on the BBC and it worked a treat.

I'll find the name of of later and post it up.
All you need do then is run it and select the UK before opening up a browser.

Hola it was called.....

Only problem I can remember was just a general betting in Spain thing. Basically any winnings from betting are taxable, so the Spanish government only allows betting sites operating with a xxx.es domain, where they can then check the records and see what you've won to ensure you declare it at the end of the tax year.

Don't remember specifically having any problems with Bet365 (although I also can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday half the time, so maybe I did have some specific problem with them, who knows )
