There are three main use cases for proxies in gaming:

1. Breaking Location Restrictions:

Many games have different servers for different countries. With the help of proxies, you can mask your location and play with users from other regions.

2. Game Offers:

Due to varying purchasing power in different countries, platforms like Steam, Ubisoft, Origin, and Epic Games offer different prices for the same game. To access cheaper prices, users can use proxies to bypass location restrictions.

3. Game Bonuses:

Some games attract players with free games or bonuses like cash or gift cards. To prevent abuse, platforms may limit users to one account per IP address. To avoid restrictions, players often use proxies to manage multiple accounts.

In these cases, we recommend using our Static Residential Proxies, which are ideal for such situations. Here's why:

• For the first use case: Some games may ban your account if you log in from different IP addresses frequently. A static residential proxy allows you to maintain the same IP and avoid account bans.

• For the second use case: Gamers often need access to game offers in different countries over extended periods. Static residential proxies provide stable, long-term IPs, making them perfect for accessing the best prices across regions.

• For the third use case: To earn game bonuses, players often need to engage in activities over weeks or months. Maintaining the same IP is essential for this, and static residential proxies can help achieve that.
