If you live in Belgium, you must be starting to get used to seeing games offering a loot box system pass you by. Indeed, since the law prohibiting this type of in-game lottery, publishers prefer to do without a release on Belgian territory rather than adapt their games to local legislation. The latest game to suffer from this is Mario Kart Tour, which joins Dragalia Lost, Pokemon Masters, Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing as Nintendo games unavailable in the flat country. But that doesn't matter, in this article we're going to show you a little tip to be able to play Mario Kart Tour even if you live in Belgium!
First of all, it is good to clarify for the smart people who might have had the idea of downloading the game's .APK file from an alternative site that Nintendo has been very smart and has equipped its servers with an additional verification system. Indeed, they will use your geographic location and see if you are in a country where the game is available. This means that if you try to launch the game from Belgium, you will simply find yourself stuck on the home screen.
But this means that you only need to virtually change your geographic location to get past this protection system. And to do this, nothing could be simpler, just use a VPN! You will first need to register with a provider, such as ExpressVPN, then download the dedicated application on your device. Once this is done, you will only have to connect to a server located in a country where the game is available, such as in France or Switzerland for example, then relaunch your application market! You should now find yourself on the store of the country to which you are connected (example, VPN Canada : You are on the Canadian store).
Now all you have to do is download Mario Kart Tour directly from the Playstore, and install it normally. Keep your connection to the VPN server active during your game, and you will now be able to enjoy the latest mobile game from Nintendo, even from Belgium!
