I tried to buy some v-bucks by using my Turkish xbox account, it was working for me like month ago when I was using tuxler VPN, but for now they blocked this vpn from their site, and now I can’t buy anytihing, the only thing I’m able to do is use more prepaid cards to fill up my xbox wallet… Is there anyone who could help me?

I live in the EU but originally from Turkey. My Xbox account is from when I still lived in Turkey, I still have a valid address and bank accounts in Turkey.
However, with the recent (background) changes, even when I asked people from my family in Turkey to get me stuff on Xbox website (with my account), they got the “incorrect region” error. I’m actually visiting family during the holidays and will try again when I’m physically there this weekend, but I don’t have high hopes.
Funny thing is that I have an active gamepass sub with my Turkish credit card on the Turkey region.
So, in short, Microsoft started doing stricter checks on the regions like Turkey, and you’re most likely out of luck.
Screw your v bucks bro, thats why we got banned in the first place
Vpn make sure url says tr-tr at the top then boom easy
You can fix the issue if you sat behind a vpn at all times when out of turkey. I posted about it. So far the purchases with my turkey account are working again
Well sadly I think that You’re right, I thought about asking You about trying to log into my account and try to spend leftover money from it, but in this case I’ll just change my region to country I live in. Thanks anyway.
I can imagine it working, however I want to be able to play online with low latency, so keeping my xbox behind a vpn isn’t an option for me.
yeah it probably wont work, the suspect is you need to spend 90 consecutive days there, so there isnt really a work around other then 2nd accounts
Make a brand new alt turkey account, add it to your console and make it home Xbox (add it when hooked to a VPN though) and problem solved, now everything you buy will be immediately accessible on your library and you can play and complete games on your main profile
I unblocked mine in around 16 days
I did exactly what you advised and it works perfectly. But keeping my Xbox connected behind a turkish VPN is a problem to play remotely with Better Xcloud app.
Can I turn off the VPN and play on my non-turkish main account without getting my turkish account region locked again ?
Yes, i added a PIN to the Turkish account so i don’t accidentally log in (… it’s happened before), as long as it’s sitting there without actually being logged into it, it won’t do any harm
I buy my stuff on my PC and log out as soon as I’m done, you can also make PC games work without affecting your account
just annoying as now you cant have the games on your main account, wonder if i could do it on my dad’s, log him in with a turkish VPN, then let it sit.
So you can add the account to the xbox? Or was the xbox on a VPN when you added the account?
You have to add it with VPN or it’ll be blocked, it’s the hardest part of it all alongside the captcha you gotta do for a new account
Also you can unblock accounts but it takes a long time, your “progress” can be reset and you have to be on a VPN 24/7 or you’ll be blocked again
