Matched betting is reportedly costing the bookies around £20m every month and they are not happy!
Some have started planting spyware on their own customers' computers to find out who is visiting matched betting websites, laying bets off at exchanges or even just shopping around for the best odds.
When they find these types of sites in your browsing history, they decide whether to ban your account from accessing bonuses, limit your stakes and even close your account completely.
It is becoming a real problem for those who are making a regular income from the likes of OddsMonkey and don't want the gravy train to end.
Thankfully, Jolly Lock IP are helping punters fight back!
What is Jolly Lock IP?
Jolly Lock IP is a virtual desktop which has been designed to completely block spyware and protect you from prying eyes.
You are given a unique UK IP address which allows you to log in from any country and continue your betting activities.
It is a better solution than using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) because VPN providers often issue IP addresses which have been used in the past and that bookies already have on their banned list. Jolly Lock IP issues you with a dedicated static IP.
Here are just some of the benefits:
Subscriptions cost about the same as a regular VPS.
The software works on either Windows or Mac operating systems and takes just a few minutes to install and set up. There is a user guide and also a video tutorial if needed, but we found it simple enough just following the steps in the guide.
Jolly Lock IP is a no brainer if you're serious about your privacy and you want to prolong the life of your bookie accounts when matched betting.
Hi Laura,
I found your website and Jollylock IP recently when looking for bookmaker privacy, but there is nothing on the internet in the last 6 months about them.
Is this still performing well and 14 months after your review, is it still worth it ?
Thanks,
Rob
Hi Rob, JollyLock IP is still up and running and is still working well in the fight against bookies installing spying software on their customer’s computers. In a nutshell, you get your own private desktop on the cloud with a personal static IP so that it doesn’t raise any red flags to the bookies. If you’re concerned about privacy it’s definitely worth thinking about.
Hi Laura,
Can a normal virtual machine do the job?
Hi Ivan, The advantages of using Jolly Lock IP over a regular virtual private server is you are given a dedicated IP address. If your IP address keeps changing each time you log in to a bookie it is likely to flag your account up. On Jolly Lock you can also run multiple desktops with a seperate IP address on each one if needed.
It is also designed to protect against spyware and monitoring tools that some bookmakers have been known to use.
The only issue for me is the IPS in the video all look nearly the same like… Example being
Same.Same.Same.Different only the last part of the ip changes? Surely they will notice all the ips with the same beginning?
