What is a Mirror Site?
A mirror site is simply a replica of the original site,
which in our case is created by bookmakers to allow access
to its customers in countries where the web address is
obscured by local governments, because in most cases the
bookmaker doesn't possess a so-called national license to
operate in that specific country. Some bookmakers create the
mirror sites to reduce web traffic and improve the
availability of the original site, but in our case this is
very rare situational. Of course, the mirror site is an
official site, the only difference that we notice is the web
address is different from the original. Mirror sites are in
degrees to provide the same safety standards as the original
site, being a copy of it, so using them is not cause for
concern.
It's legal to use a mirror site?
Absolutely yes! As we mentioned earlier even mirror site is
an official website, the simple access to Internet sites,
even if online sports betting is not prohibited by law in
any case.
When should I use a mirror site??
Usually the mirror site is used when the official address of
the Web Site is not accessible due to censorship by the
local government or is not available temporarily due to the
high volume of traffic, especially during peak hours, which
in some cases can prevent the opening of the page or slow
down the loading of the same.
Where to find alternative links to a mirror site??
Rarely alternative links are provided by the bookmakers,
they prefer that visitors always use the official website,
so they can better monitor web traffic and general
preferences of the bettors. If the bookmaker in question
uses a livechat service you can ask for help from an online
operator, otherwise you can send an email to support.
However, find a mirror site is not difficult, there are
two different ways to do this online:
Via Google:
Using the most popular search engine you can find him using
these words:
"Name Bookmaker + Site Mirror" or "Alternative Link +
Bookmaker Name".
-
Example: Bet365 Mirror Sites or "Alternative Link Bet365
(1xbet, pinnacle, sbobet, etc..)"
Use specialized web sites like ours:
Our web site, the first ever devoted to this topic, it is
exclusively specialized to provide alternative links to
major online bookmakers, so it's a valid and reliable way to
solve our problem! Our staff, is able to provide several
alternative links of each single bookmaker and in many cases
is able to suggest, based on the country of origin, a
specific mirror site created specially for that nation!
How often is this site updated?
Our staff carries out checks each month to verify the
accuracy and operation of the alternative links, we also own
the privileged contacts with major bookmakers in order to
obtain before any other competitor website the updated
links.
Most of our betting links is automatically updated!
Mirror site or VPN software?
Both solutions solve our problem, but in a different way.
Our advice is to use, if possible, the mirror site, without
having to install or purchase any software. If the
bookmaker in question doesn't have any mirror site the
solution to our problem is to install a VPN software, which
allows you to surf anonymously, by changing your IP address,
and so circumvent censorship in your country.
Mirror site or localized site?
Some bookmakers have decided to regulate their position
within some states, buying a national license and creating a
website dedicated exclusively to a country, therefore, they
do not allow the opening of an account on the site .COM! In
this case you have no choice ... or the localized website or
anything, the mirror site will not help you!
We'll tell you if a bookmaker has a specific version for
your country!
The most famous example is Bet365, which carries an
automatic redirect in some countries! Over the years, Bet365
has obtained many local licenses and later created localized
sites, (Bet365.com.au, Bet365.es, Bet365.it, etc ..) to
allow residents in these nations (Australia, Spain, Italy ,
etc ..) to open an account to respect the laws of that
country.
