Got locked out of TOGELPLUS again today and I’m honestly getting sick of this location blocking nonsense. Started happening when I moved for work six months ago, and it’s been this weird on-and-off thing ever since. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, and I can never figure out why.
Why They Keep Blocking People
Lawyers Run Everything
From what I can tell, TOGELPLUS blocks places because their lawyers get nervous about local gambling laws. Doesn’t matter if those laws actually affect regular players – they just don’t want to deal with government hassle.
My uncle works in corporate law and says companies would rather block everyone than fight regulatory battles. Makes sense from their perspective, sucks for us trying to play.
It’s Just Your Internet Address
They figure out where you are by looking at your IP address – basically your internet’s return address. Your internet company assigns you one that tells websites roughly what city you’re in.
Not rocket science, but it means you can get blocked even if you should technically have access, just because of how internet routing works.
Legal Stuff You Should Know
Most Places Don’t Actually Care About Players
Did some research after getting paranoid about getting in trouble. Turns out most states go after the big gambling companies, not individual players sitting at home.
Still, my friend’s brother got a nasty letter from the state about online gambling. Didn’t get arrested or anything, but definitely made him nervous enough to stop.
They Can Keep Your Money If They Want
TOGELPLUS’s terms probably say they can close your account if you break geographic rules. Even if you’re not doing anything obviously wrong, they have the legal right to keep whatever money’s in your account.
Seen too many horror stories on Reddit about people losing their balances over terms of service violations. Not worth the risk.
What I’ve Actually Tried
DNS Changes Sometimes Help
Changed my DNS to Google’s 8.8.8.8 after reading it might work. Didn’t fix the TOGELPLUS blocking, but other websites do load faster now.
Worth trying since it takes five minutes and doesn’t hurt anything. Some people swear it works for them – maybe their blocking situation is different than mine.
Different Networks Give Different Results
Tested TOGELPLUS from my home internet, work WiFi, and phone data. Home internet is blocked, work WiFi works sometimes, phone data is hit or miss.
Tells me the blocking isn’t just about my physical location – it’s about which network I’m using and how that network connects to the internet.
Customer Support Was Actually Helpful
They Told Me the Truth
Called customer support expecting some runaround, but the agent was pretty straight with me. Said my area has “licensing complications” and they can’t predict when it’ll be resolved.
Better to know the real situation than waste time trying fixes that can’t work. At least I’m not sitting here wondering if it’s something I did wrong.
Account Location Doesn’t Matter Much
Updated my address in my account thinking maybe that would help. Support said it makes no difference for geographic restrictions – they go by where your internet connection comes from, not your registered address.
Mistakes That Made Things Worse
VPN Got Me in Trouble
Tried using a VPN to connect from a different state. Worked once, then TOGELPLUS flagged my account for “suspicious activity” and locked me out for three days.
Had to call support and promise not to use location-changing services anymore. The temporary access wasn’t worth the stress of thinking my account might get permanently banned.
Proxy Services Are Scams
Found some websites claiming they could give me access to blocked gambling sites. Paid $50 for a month of service that barely worked and probably wasn’t safe.
Should have known better than to trust random websites promising to solve legal restrictions for money.
What Actually Works
Patience Usually Wins
The blocking in my area has been lifted twice, then reinstated, then lifted again. Seems like it changes based on business negotiations or legal stuff happening behind the scenes.
Currently it’s working again, though I have no idea for how long. These restrictions seem temporary most of the time.
Following Official Updates
Started checking TOGELPLUS’s official Twitter and website for announcements about regional access. They actually do post updates when restrictions change.
Way better information than trying to guess or relying on forum rumors about what works.
Just Accept the Reality
Location blocking is annoying but usually not permanent. Most of the technical workarounds either don’t work or create bigger problems than just waiting it out.
Here’s what I recommend: Try simple DNS changes to see if your ISP is doing the blocking, contact support to understand what’s really going on in your area, and follow official TOGELPLUS communications for updates. Most restrictions resolve themselves eventually when business or legal issues get sorted out behind the scenes.
