If you use a vpn you appear as a non-uk user, you don’t have to show the ID. If you don’t have an existing account, the only reliable source of geolocation for websites is your ip address, so a vpn can effectively circumvent that.
Oh, right. I didn’t thought of that at all, I never went beyond "well, they don’t let you use VPNs anyway. Man I need to sleep. And thanks for explaining.
