Thanks to this post thought I would share what I believe is currently the cheapest way for an annual NBA League Pass which does not require a VPN once signed up to stream games.

  1. Sign up for a free 3 day trial with NordVPN https://free.nordvpn.com/
  2. Once you click on the activation email, download and install the nordvpn software
  3. In nordvpn, select to connect to Argentina server
  4. Go to https://watch.nba.com/packages and sign up for annual package which should be 2499.99 ARS. If it is still quoting AUD price, then try loading the page in incognito mode.
  5. Enter your credit card details - you can select Australia in the country.
  6. Done!

Once signed up, you no longer need the VPN to login and stream games.

By the way, I was able to do this using the same account I had last year which was via Mexico VPN.

        Incorrect. I shared my account with a mate for all last season, I also used it on multiple devices in my house at the same time.

        It doesnt log you off as soon as you log into a new device, but i wouldnt connect 20 to it.

              @damop: That's weird. I hate it coz I watch the games on my laptop to the TV, then I always forget and go to check the NBA app on my phone and the stream on my laptop cuts out a few seconds later. Teach me the voodoo you use to stop that from happening! ;)

    I've had league pass for several years and it's only ever worked on 1 device. When you log in on another it kicks off the first. The exception has been when viewing via Kodi but that add-on hasn't worked for a while now. Unless something had changed this year?

    • 87percent on 29/09/2018 - 09:00

      I shared LP with 3 others last year and found that if the 3 users were on different devices, it was fine. So for example, I was on my iOS phone, another was on an android phone, and the third was on their laptop

    I tried using Argentina VPN via NORDVPN, it only showed up with CAD, USD, AUD, HKD, etc which is around $149AUD.

    Anyone has luck so far ?

    • Securityclearance on 28/09/2018 - 23:57

      does it say the vpn is on? try incognito/refreshing your pc maybe

      I'm subscribed to Private Internet Access, connected to both Brazil and Mexico and both prices are $89.99 USD which comes up to $124.61 AUD

      Not sure if Argentina just has a better deal or not.

      Ah, just checked the link in the OP, it seems Argentina is just cheaper because of the ARS rate.

    • bwilliams94 on 28/10/2018 - 20:43

      I was having the same issue with NordVPN which didn't work with incognito or cleared cookies. I bought it through Canada last year so maybe it has something to do with that if it's working for others.

      To fix, all I did was download the SaferVPN Chrome Extension and signed up to the free trial. All you have to do is enter your email address and you get 24hours of VPN or 500mB of data, no credit card details required. Once I enabled this to Argentina it worked fine :) although the exchange is up to ~$95AUD now but still the cheapest I could find.

    There is also an option for 80 games per month for 1399 peso (approx $47). I would assume this isnt a monthly cost and is just a one off for the season?

      "Every 30 days from the date of purchase, Game Choice subscribers have a total of 8 game credits, which can be applied towards any NBA game during the 2018-19 season: including All-Star weekend, Christmas Day games, the NBA Playoffs, and select games available during the postseason. Game Choice credits do carry over month-to-month." Says that at the question section at the bottom of the page.

      The game choice option used to be 8 games per month and suddenly jumped to 80 this season. I'd consider asking support before jumping into a year subscription.

      Pro-tip when visiting Argentina, take USD, sell them to a shady "Cambio"…(currency exchange), the 'blue dollar' aka black market currency exchange will get you a better rate than official banks (~30% better)…. Killer country, a horrible shame they are in such a mess.

          I'm interested in Argentina for the arbitrage opportunities, and i was checking out the rent in Buenas Aires but everything seems listed in USD even in the localized sites not designed for expats. How do locals find a place to rent online listed in peso's?? Would be interested renting a one bedroom in a palermo or somewhere central (never been before.)

      Mine auto renewed on friday and before id checked the amount, i cancelled it via the nba chat. Having worried it was for the full Aus price, it was for the $110 i paid via zambia last year, really annoyed. Before she cancelled it though i was offered a 10% off code, so having seen this and using the code i paid $75 - 2245 pesos, pretty stoked.

      It's not illegal, and you could either start a PayPal dispute if they do or a charge back via bank. The last 5 years the T&C's have not stipulated that the use of a VPN is illegal.

  • threeball on 29/09/2018 - 08:28

    Just FYI for anyone signing up new this year (rather than auto-sub), it is easiest to use VPN + Incognito / private mode on browser + a new account. Don't use an existing account - create a new one. The site uses cookies, so if you just use VPN and you've already been to the site it will remember your region / country.

    Also while they may have changed, the last two years I have read their T&C's and this method, while a hack, was not a breach of T&C's. For those who travel and follow the games, the ability to sign up in a country and watch it from another is a necessity - the NBA know that.
