So playing online poker for real money is technically illegal in my country (Australia). More specifically, it isn't illegal for players to play, but it is illegal for companies to provide a platform for it without being licensed. No licenses are issued.
How do I go about playing online for real money? I don't want to deal with crypto because it is taxed in my country and I don't like the volatility, but I was thinking maybe I could play from Australia on a foreign poker cardroom using a foreign currency.
To do this I would need: 1. A bank account in a foreign country. 2. A residential address in that country. 3. Someway to mask that I am actually remotely playing from Australia.
I can probably take care of #1 and #2 myself, but #3 is what I need advice on.
The simple solution is to use a VPN, but the problem is that these cardrooms don't allow you to play using a VPN. If you do they will ban you and keep your money. Apparently they are on the cutting edge of VPN detection technology, and are pretty good at it, so it's a big risk.
So how can I 100% make it so that it seems I am playing from a foreign country when I am actually playing from Australia?
Is there a way to get a 100% undetectable VPN setup going?
Or is there another way? I was thinking of using some kind of remote desktop thing, but hardware based rather than software based, so it wouldn't be detected. Not sure if such a thing exists.
Even Dan Blizerian couldn't reliably win at only poker.
probably give up desu

There's a big difference between brainstorming and tech support.
Poker isn't gambling, it's a skill based game and I'm good at it. I was winning lots of money before it was banned.

You're asking for a solution to a problem you fucking retard

>I don't want to deal with crypto because it is taxed in my country And foreign wire transfers are not?
In any case, companies do not detect VPN servers, they have a list of IP ranges that belong to datacenters and such, they may do browser fingerprinting too but you can beat that with privacy tools.
The solution is simple, get a residential IP from another country.

I'm asking for ideas, retard, not support.
Go shit up some of these "tech support" threads:
That's interesting. What I hear is that it's way more than just server side. The client software has "anti-cheat" stuff on it that checks if you are running malicious code on your computer i.e. like a bot. It also checks for helper apps and so forth that show odds. Finally it also checks things like IP and so on, so if the machine running the client doesn't have the same IP as the IP that the server is talking to (i.e. the VPN) then it's an instant detection and instant ban.
Ayden Thomas
Oh right, if is running a local client then is a different story, however you can circumvent that by running the VPN at network level, a router with Pfsense/openWRT/tomato can easily do that and basically just mask all traffic.
Aaron Harris
Ok cool, thank you. I'm a little scared because I've been reading stuff about VPN detection.
Apparently even with that the router/VPN will shape the traffic in such a way as to still be detectable, which is why I was thinking of a remote desktop thing in hardware, but honestly those links are a bit above my head.
It's a solved game, like Blackjack. You literally can't lose in the long run. Once you get to that point you have to go beyond that though, so that you can win even more.
Individual hands are bets, but poker isn't a single hand game. It's an ongoing game of tens of thousands of hands over a lifetime. And on that time-frame it isn't gambling because the EV for somebody who can play is greater than 0.

Then why are you here asking about VPNs? Go to Vegas and play poker, Mr. Winner.
Brandon Clark
You can play more hands online than you can at a casino, and the games are quicker because you don't have to wait for all the physical stuff like chips moving across the table and cards getting shuffled.
For example, I could play 8 or 16 tables at the same time, playing 10x as many hands in the same time as I could per table as on a single casino table.
There's also a wider variety of games since casinos only offer the most popular variants, and those tables are casinos are not populated by many players. So online its possible to get good at a minor variant and make even more money.
