Why I always bet on foreign sites (and what you should know)

My name is Betty and on Try Betty, I share my gaming experiences, discoveries, and tips for betting smarter. Today, I'm going to explain why, after testing dozens of platforms, I always bet on foreign sites. It's not a coincidence or a simple preference: it's a truly thoughtful choice.

Foreign sites give me more freedom

When I started betting, I played on platforms authorized by the country I lived in. But very quickly, I felt the limitations: few available markets, often lower odds, and much less interesting bonuses. By switching to foreign sites, I discovered another way of betting — more open, more flexible, and, let's be honest, much more exciting.

• I can bet on everything: from Asian second division matches to the most advanced esports competitions.
• I enjoy better odds: foreign sites often apply lower margins, so potential gains are higher.
• I choose my bonuses: some offer welcome or cashback offers that you rarely see in your country.
• I control my experience: modern interfaces, tracking tools, smart cash-out… I feel free to play how I want.

The three types of foreign sites I use

Over time, I've learned to categorize the foreign sites I use into three main categories:

1. Asian sites

These are my favorites when I want the best odds on the market. They are mainly for experienced bettors and offer a very analytical approach to gaming. Their interface may seem a bit austere, but the gains are often worth it.

Since it is prohibited in several jurisdictions to name these operators without a local license, here is a list of URLs that talk about them:

• Asian-Bookmakers
• UKreptiles
• Best-Web-Directories

2. European sites not approved in France

Based in Malta, Curaçao, or the UK, these sites offer a very smooth experience, efficient apps, and effective customer support. They are very similar to classic sites but without the restrictions imposed by local regulations. You can find bookmakers at the following URLs:

• Foreign Bookmaker
• EusaGames 2012
• Nycodem
• Lucid Bettor

3. Brokers and access platforms

These are intermediaries that allow me to access several foreign sites from a single account. I like this option because it saves me time and allows me to compare odds at a glance. It's also a simpler and more secure way to manage my deposits and withdrawals. I really recommend trying it if you're a high roller or a long-term bettor. These are called sports betting "brokers":

• Alive For Football
• Betting-Broker
• Broker Stars
• Padacs

The risks I accept (and manage)

Betting on foreign sites is great, but it's not without risks. One must be realistic:

• No French legal protection: if a problem occurs, you cannot appeal to the ANJ.
• Sometimes longer withdrawals: some sites require very strict identity checks before paying out gains.
• Bank restrictions: some banks block payments to non-approved sites.

For me, the key is to remain pragmatic: I test platforms with small amounts, withdraw my gains regularly, and always check the site's reputation before depositing. In short, I never take unnecessary risks.

Why I continue betting abroad

I'm not looking to circumvent the law — I just want to access the best in online betting. By betting on foreign sites, I can:

• Compare odds and see what French operators could improve;
• Test new tools and features;
• Analyze payment reliability and customer support quality;
• And above all, share with you honest reviews and concrete experiences.

What I love about this approach is the freedom of choice. I decide where and how I bet, without being limited to a few local options. And that, for an enthusiast like me, is essential.

My golden rule: curiosity, but caution

I will never tell you to rush headlong. Exploring foreign sites is interesting, but it must be done intelligently. Always read the terms, check the licenses, and start slowly. I've been doing it for years, methodically and cautiously — and that's what allows me to continue betting always on the best foreign platforms.

On Try Betty, I will continue to test, compare, and share my discoveries so that you too can understand how these sites work and make your own choices. Because betting is, above all, a matter of strategy, curiosity... and freedom.
