Its that time of year again…
NBA League Pass is open again for 2017-2018!

You can sign up locally for a pretty un-ozbargain $299, or you can sign up via a VPN to Brazil for ~$112.34

Regarding purchasing from India:

Have seen another forum site where people have signed up via India. Requires a VPN to be on whenever using the service though. Still no joy for me with the India League Pass sub via PayPal payment. No sub showing in League Pass account. Reckon something wrong there. Credit card seems the best payment method if other sites are anything to go by.

Update:
$109 via Mexico VPN. Thanks for everyone who pointed this out.

      Just so this is at the top. OP or Mod, can we edit the post to show Mexico is cheaper. Better than creating a new post. Its about $105AUD. But thanks so much OP. I bought under Brazil before I read all the comments and verified with PIA myself. Also, India is definitely only for use in India as it states that when you go to checkout. It would never be fast enough to stream through a VPN games, so lets just stick with Mexico and Brazil.

      • harro112 on 19/09/2017 - 17:28

        can anyone confirm that mexico definitely works?

  • alabatusa on 19/09/2017 - 13:26

    Thanks buddy, seems cheaper than last years canada deal.

    Is this the cheapest one?

      India is cheaper, but didn't work for someone on WhirlPool.

    I received the auto-renewal email from the NBA today, saying I'd be getting 10% off the regular price. I subscribed from Canada last year, so the price this year was going to be CAD$130.49 (AU$133.08) for me.

    I'll cancel the auto-subscription and go through Brazil this year. Thanks OP.

    • eltito on 19/09/2017 - 14:03

      Did you cancel the auto-subscribe through paypal?

      I paid through Paypal and used Canada (I think) last year when I signed up. I did email them, but had no luck canceling the auto renewal, I was told it couldn't be done? Weird, anyway I cancelled the auto renewal through Paypal - but still got the email. I'm hoping it's just a generic system generated thing.

      • BjornMorrison on 19/09/2017 - 14:12

        I paid with credit card last year.

        I cancelled the subscription on the NBA site, under "my account>subscriptions". There's a new checkbox that you can untick to turn off auto-renewal. That's better and easier than last year, when I think you had to email neulion to cancel.

          Yeah, last year you had to email, and there are apparently two NBA teams, the US one and the International one (as far as I am aware).

          I checked my Paypal just now and it says its been cancelled, so it should be ok

    • tap on 03/10/2017 - 15:41

      I can't remember getting it and my subscription renewed automatically (even though I remember un-checking it last time). Still better than $300aud (PayPal says it charged me $138.57AUD).

      For $30, I can't be bothered stuffing around for a refund plus signing up again.

  • mitch21 on 19/09/2017 - 13:32

    Does anyone know a free Chrome VPN that you can access Brazil?

    • start3r on 19/09/2017 - 13:48

      Try Hoxx, available in Chrome store.

      I use it in Firefox to get around certain blocked websites in Aus. Works fine.

      Has a Brazil server listing in Firefox, see no reason why it wouldn't in Chrome.

      • Zinger on 20/09/2017 - 08:07

        would you be able to access Netflix for other countries using the Chrome extension?

          +1

          I don't use Netflix so can't answer that sadly. My knowledge of Netflix though is that there's not many VPNs that can get around their system these days.

          In addition, the free version of Hoxx has a daily data quota, so not really ideal for video streaming, best to go with a decent paid option if that's what you wanna do.

          Not unless your location is set via proxy/vpn to mehico. You only need this at signup so as long as you don't use blackout market locations during the season you will get every game.

    • shavi on 19/09/2017 - 13:41

      I got my auto-renewal email this morning. But it can't be right…

      "Your NBA LEAGUE PASS: Regular Season + Playoffs subscription will renew for the 2017-18 season on September 25, 2017 with no action required by you to continue your access. The billing information on file will be charged 1169.99 INR - that's 10% off the regular price, available exclusively for you as a loyal customer."

        It was mentioned in the other thread - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/330340#comment-5091181 - that this only applies to India. What does it mention about that? At that price, I'm assuming it's only available to watch if you're actually connected (or VPN'd) via India

        • chigga on 19/09/2017 - 13:56

          I can't see anywhere that says it is region locked for India. I used it all of last season with no issues, not having to connect with a VPN.

          @chigga:

          Yes I used it last year too. The person on Whirlpool said it gave a specific warning in the checkout process that anything purchased through India needs to be watched through India.

          I think I'll cancel and re-subscribe through Mexico just to be safe

        • chigga on 19/09/2017 - 14:05

  • fookos on 19/09/2017 - 13:48

    My account isn't set for autorenew (Canada) but I still got the renewal email (including 10 per cent discount described above). How do you stop them renewing at $130-ish despite them saying it will renew on 25 sept. They don't have my payment info! At least they shouldn't.

    If I renew with this Brazil deal i wonder if that negates the former renewal process. If not, may need to send an email.

    Brazil deal is great. Thanks OP.

    • anawth on 19/09/2017 - 13:57

      I think you'll find they do have your payment details under the 'my account' section. They have my details in the billing and payment info section from last year.
      So maybe cancel the account if worried and sign up under a new email/country?
      Will do some investigating tonight with VPN signup under old account.

          ballstreams was basically a pirate stream that they would charge you money for -
          none of your money gets back to the nba

          if you want to pay something at all - your money should go to the content providers.

        • abuch47 on 23/09/2017 - 11:08

          @voter1: I agree but it had the best stream quality with the least delay. 60fps over ILPs 30, chat was fun :p, local ads and sports talkback are better than ILPs black screens and repetitive NBA ads.

          But yeah I had ILP before ballstreams and then got straight back on it after BS got shutdown, ILP has its pros as well over BS.

    • eltito on 19/09/2017 - 23:21
