This is an article to help anyone struggling to access the gaming and crypto website BetFury at the moment. Perhaps you're getting a 'Sorry, you have been blocked' warning when you try to access the domain betfury.io:

Problems started just before Christmas when BetFury announced "temporary issues with the betfury.io domain" and advised users to log in to the alternative domain betfury.ai instead:

Users took to social media to speculate as to whether this was a security issue (perhaps a DDOS attack) or a rug pull.

The good news is that the original domain is working again now, suggesting it was a security issue. However, many users are still getting the 'blocked' error when trying to access the site on either domain - see this reply from 'Carlisle7':

I was one of those users. But I've been able to get round the block by using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to connect to the site from a different country rather than the UK. So I assume that BetFury is either blocking individual IPs or blocking all traffic from specific countries.

If you're looking for a VPN to use for this purpose, I would recommend Privado (https://privadovpn.com/). Its free plan gives you 10GB of data each month, which is more than enough to connect to BetFury a couple of times a day.

The interface is simple and lets you choose the location you wish to use. I've had no issues logging into BetFury 'from' Sao Paulo in Brazil:

I hope BetFury relaxes its security restrictions and allows users from the UK (and other blocked countries) to access the site normally again. Otherwise I'll have to think carefully about whether I want to keep any crypto on a site that I can only access via VPN.

But in the meantime I hope this advice has helped you to log in to BetFury, either to continue using the platform or to withdraw any holdings you have there.
