To gain access to 10Play and watch The Amazing Race Australia in the UK or anywhere in the world, follow these steps:

How to create a 10Play account outside Australia

To create a 10Play account outside Australia you only need a few things.

You need a reliable VPN like ExpressVPN ($6.67/month), you need an Australian postcode and you need a valid email address.

Follow these steps to create a 10Play account outside Australia:

1. Download ExpressVPN ($6.67/month) and connect to an Australian server
2. Visit 10play.com.au
3. Select create new account

How to download the 10Play app outside Australia

The easiest way to watch 10Play outside Australia is via the app on a phone or tablet. You can use either an Apple device or an Android device.

A phone or tablet is easiest because you can download the 10Play app and stream it to your television. That’s what I do.

To download the 10Play app outside Australia follow these steps:

Apple

1. Download ExpressVPN ($6.67/month) and connect to an Australian server
2. Create a new iCloud account for free
   • The reason we recommend creating a new iCloud account is so you can have two different accounts in two different locations. For example, I have my iCloud account I use every day set to my home country and I have my other iCloud account based in Australia. That way I can switch between them when I need to without having to change the location of my main account.
3. Login to your new iCloud account
   • Once you’ve created a seperate iCloud account you need to set its location to Australia. Go into settings, logout of your main account (if you’re still logged in) and log in to your new account.
4. Open your account
   • If you go into settings on your Apple device, your account name will be at the top of the screen. Click that to open your account settings.
5. Select Media and Purchases
6. Select View Account
   • Once you click View Account this will prompt you to enter your password. When this is done, you’ll be taken to a new page.
7. Tap Country/Region and select Australia
   • When you open Country/Region you’ll see “Change Country or Region.” Click on this and select Australia.
8. Select no payment method
   • When creating a new Apple account you’ll be prompted to input a payment method. However, if you don’t have an Australian credit card or payment method, your credit card won’t be accepted. Simply select no payment method to get around this.
9. Input an Australian address
   • If prompted to put in an Australian address, you can get one here
10. Go to the App Store and download 10Play
    • Once you’ve changed your region to Australia, make sure you’re still connected to an Australian server on ExpressVPN ($6.67/month). Now you’ll have access to the Australian version of the Apple App Store. From here you’ll be able to find the 10Play app. Download it.

Android

1. Create a new Google Play account and login to it on the Google Play store
2. Download and install ExpressVPN ($6.67/month) on your Android phone
3. Connect to an Australian server on ExpressVPN ($6.67/month)
4. Open up your Google Play Account
5. Click Settings
6. Click General
7. Click account and device preferences
8. Change your location to Australia
9. Put in your credit card details
10. Close Google Play and open it again (you should be on the Australian version of the Google Play Store)
11. Download and install 10Play

Why can’t I watch The Amazing Race Australia in the UK?

The reason you can’t watch The Amazing Race Australia in the UK is because the reality TV show hasn’t been purchased by any British broadcasters.

To watch The Amazing Race Australia in the UK you need to gain access to the free Australian streaming service, 10Play.

To do that you need to trick 10Play into thinking you’re accessing it from within Australia. If you don’t, you won’t be able to access any of the streaming services content. This is because 10Play blocks anyone outside Australia from accessing its content.

How does 10Play know my location?

Whenever you go online, you’re allocated a unique IP address. This is a small code that’s used by your device to communicate with online services.

For this communication to work, your device needs to send information regarding your physical location. This allows the online service you’re accessing to send information back to your device.

When you connect to 10Play, it scans your IP address to figure out where to send information. However, when scanning your IP, if it finds you aren’t in Australia, it will block the connection.

How can I get around 10Play’s location-based blocks?

To get around these blocks you need to trick 10Play into thinking you’re accessing it from within Australia.

To do that you need to change your IP address to an Australian one. And the easiest way to do that is with a reliable VPN like ExpressVPN ($6.67/month) or Private Internet Access ($2.03/month).

Simply download ExpressVPN ($6.67/month) or Private Internet Access ($2.03/month) click on an Australian server and within seconds you’ll be given an Australian IP address.

Now when you go to 10Play it will think you’re in Australia and you’ll be able to access all of its content including The Amazing Race Australia, anywhere in the world.

Will any VPN work?

In order for a VPN to work reliably with 10Play, it needs to have measures in place to get around 10Play’s VPN blocking methods.

Yes, 10Play tries to block VPNs. It does this to protect itself from potential copyright and licensing infringement punishments it may come across if someone accessed its content outside Australia.

The good news is 10Play cannot block a VPN in its entirety, the bad news is it can block the IP addresses a VPN provides. Lesser VPNs, especially free VPNs often struggle to get around 10Play’s blocks. 

This is because free VPNs have a massive amount of customers and they cannot provide enough IP addresses so each customer has their own individual IP address. When this happens, lesser VPNs force their customers to share IP addresses. 

10Play knows this and uses it to its advantage. It monitors for an “abnormal,” amount of connections coming from the same IP address where a normal amount of connections coming from the same IP address is usually anything below 10. Any more than that and 10Play will block the connection.

To get around this you need to use a VPN that has measures in place to prevent that from happening. Below is a list of VPNs that work reliably with 10Play so you can watch The Amazing Race Australia reliably in the UK.
