Hi All! I am a Canadian from Ontario, who has lived in Costa Rica for 6 years where I own a business. Unfortunately due to the legalization of sportsbetting in Ontario, I have been geoblocked from all of my online Books (Bet365 in December, and just received a note from Willhill closing my account). I have used both of these books for over 25 years without an issue. However, the legalization of gambling in Canada has prevented me from using these sites overseas. I must be located in Ontario. I have tried discussing the situation with customer service, to no avail. They will not allow me to open a new overseas account, as I have a Canadian passport, and no proof of address overseas. All of my bills come to me in Canada, with a Canadian address. Costa Rica does not actually use adresses in anycase, it is literally "200 feet past the store on the corner, yellow house". Super disappointed in both of these books, as I have been gambling with them before the internet became mainstream, calling my bets in from pay phones. Does anybody know of a book that I can use going forward? One that does not require me to be located in Ontario, or does not require proof of address verifiction? Pinnacle seems like the best option so far, but I have read they will be getting an Ontario licence. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Jimmy, I’m in the same boat. Live in Ontario, girlfriend in Quebec, travel NA a lot for work and play and need a book that works everywhere. I’d appreciate any advice.
