Since my country doesn't support 888poker, I can't join everyone. Should I use a VPN from another country to join? Screenshot 2026 04 28 21 29 23 605 comandroidchrome

No. What u should is play on options that are allowed in your jurisdiction. Dont embarass yourself by trying to circumvent the terms of service of a certain site.

It's not legal to play games using a VPN; check if the 888 App has any restrictions regarding this.

"888poker requires players to be physically located in permitted jurisdictions and pass geolocation checks"

Using a VPN will just get you blocked/banned and another story of "I played but can't get my funds.. 😭".

I miss playing at the 888poker and Paty Poker casinos that were suspended in Brazil, but trying to cheat can result in the loss of your money, which isn't legal.

I see plenty Brazilians in 888 all the time.
Where are you playing now?

I don't think you should use VPN to play, because most poker rooms don't allow VPN. So, if you play and win, you probably not going to be able to cashout.

I'm sure there are plenty of people here who could help you with that

... but playing according to the tos is always going to be the smartest move,

especially if you value your account and hope to cash out one day👍

Simple answer 'No'

fwiw, you're not missing out on much - - 888Poker pretty much sucks. I suppose it might be okay for some freerolls but good luck if you're trying to cash out while using a VPN. Maybe you can... maybe you can't. And if this is your intention, posting about it on public poker forum has got to be one of the worst ideas. Were you aware that there's a representative from 888 on this site?

imo, sign up to ALL of the sites that you can legally play on. Do things the right way by following TOS rules by the poker sites. Curious, what sites can you play on there?
There's a twitch streamer/poker player from Canada who travels all around and plays poker while doing so. His name is Trytime. I know he travels to Thailand, Vietnam, & most recently, Japan. He plays on GGPoker (but maybe some other sites off stream as well... I'm not sure about that part).
I'm sure you can play on GG and it is 100x better than 888.

Even if you're an 'ask for forgiveness not permission' type people, you definitely do not want to use a VPN to circumvent geoblocking.

If you ever want to cash out, you'll have to do KYC and you'll probably never get your money.

Also PO is right, 888 is garbo other than having lots of freerolls. That's one of the sites I'll probably never bother depositing on.
