RacingJimmy 48 Report post Posted January 16, 2018 I used to be able to watch live NZ racing on the TAB website via my Express VPN account and its NZ location. This now doesn't work which is very frustrating. How are other people able to watch live NZ racing from outside NZ? Is there an easy option which will work or suggestions that might work for me?

barryb 2,062 Report post Posted January 16, 2018 RJ you need to use a VPS that is based in Auckland as per below. https://www.ransomit.com.au/new-zealand-vps/ $12 a month and you can watch NZ racing from anywhere in the world.

We're Doomed 4,824 Report post Posted January 16, 2018 Basically you can't access the TAB website in any countries that block overseas betting agencies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacingJimmy 48 Report post Posted January 16, 2018 No problems with watching the replays but keen to see all the coverage. My VPN(ExpressVPN) used to work but now doesn't for some reason which is bloody annoying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can, what WD meant to say is you can’t do it for free anymore. As I posted above RJ, $12 a month and you can access your NZTAB account from anywhere.

Eastwood Jaunty 148 Report post Posted January 16, 2018 My Express VPN also has stopped working -- the TAB website now knows that I am not in NZ when trying to watch even if VPN activated to NZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the NZRacing industry is in the business of providing VPN servers are they? You've lost me. What's your point?

It has ZERO to do with NZ Racing, its a private company that is used by many. It just so happens that its an easy & unobstructed way to gain access to the NZ TAB website if you are around the world and the access is blocked. ie: In Melbourne if you type in NZTAB it wont display, if you use this VPS (or any based in NZ) it will display, allows you to log in & then you can also play the streaming content. Simple really and for a few $ a month problem averted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berri 2,131 Report post Posted January 17, 2018 Geez....you guys really don't get it at all. It's all about accessibility to data, who owns it and who makes the money from it. Is the NZ racing industry making any money from a site that is using NZ racing content? Does this company have the right to access the data? There's a bunch of other comments I could make but you obviously don't get the issue or where I am coming from Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site is NOT using NZ racing content nor accessing the data. Users of their service may be, the same as any NZ based internet user could. I definitely don't get where you are coming from but that's because YOU don't get that it is not an issue such as you suggest. You are barking up a tree.

RacingJimmy 48 Report post Posted November 6, 2020 Anybody got a sure fire way to play live nz racing on the NZ TAB or other available website using a VPN? My VPN now seems to block this capability which is very frustrating. Any ideas accepted! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soliloquy 25 Report post Posted November 7, 2020 Are you just watching or betting as well? If the former, trackside can be streamed from loveracing.co.nz. Only requires a free account. Can't imagine it's location locked but interested to know Leggy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacingJimmy 48 Report post Posted November 7, 2020 Cheers Soliloquy. Betting and watching. I can access the TAB site on my VPN but since VPN has updated their systems I cannot watch like I used to. Loveracing website doesnt work either unfortunately. I've got around it by setting up a Sportsbet account but I miss the lead up to NZ races such as prelims which I would like to watch. I use Private Internet Access as my VPN. Anyone else use a VPN that works? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
