"Agent"what do you mean?
Not sure how it works but Aussie players have had little issue. Pretty sure Khale Burns plays nosebleeds
Hey guys finally have some cash looking to find a site to play online where I can get through, will I need VPN?? but won't they just see my address and stuff at start and deny me or do they not care?
I am just after one that accepts card/bpay kind of deposit as I am not into crypto..
some help would be great, thanks

I used Ignition Casino/Ignition Poker for years without issue. Deposited and withdrew and received my money, so it was legit.
I had searched around and couldn't find another that I could use. Note I didn't need to use a VPN with this one and never had any issues.
I don't know if they just didn't care, but I'm pretty sure when I registered I used my Aus real address. I don't play online anymore so withdrew all my funds but my account is probably still active.
Aside from my above recommendation of Ignition, just wanted to give a tip, practisinng online to play in real life, the two are almost non-comparable.
I have succesfully won/profitted at times online and in real life in home games/casino, and they have some pretty key differences you need to adjust to. Just something to think about.

Echoing juss on this. Ignition is a good site with plenty of traffic and plenty of good game options at all stakes. A couple of points though:
1) VPN - yes, needed. They will drive you to use Warp VPN which is free and I think set up for their site. My Nord VPN does not work as well as Warp for Ignition so I use the Warp one to play poker only.
2) Bitcoin in and out is the cheapest way of transacting. It's also the quickest. Withdrawal fees for bank transfers are outrageous so use Bitcoin if you can. CC deposits are pretty cheap from memory but I only used these early days before I set up a Blockchain account.
It's a good, solid site though. I have been using it ever since the puritan LNP Government shut down online poker in this country and have never had any issue getting my money out.
Did you need a VPN? That's interesting. I reckon it's probably been about 6 months since I logged in, and longer since I played on it regularly, but I never needed a VPN to login/play. Unless things changed in the time I wasn't using it?

Well that's a good question. Maybe they don't care...I'll try without next time and see how that goes.
edit - interesting, no VPN required.
Just use pppoker app and find an Australian club.

Bitcoinhow would ya set that up?
Whats a blockchain account
Jeez mate, I’m no expert but basically think of a Blockchain account as a bank for crypto currency. You’ll need to do some reading on who to use but I use BTC Markets to buy Bitcoin and then transfer it to Blockchain who then transfer it to Ignition…and then back out the other way when I make withdrawals. It sounds more complicated than it is but it’s a bit clunky at first. The costs are minimal and my BTC Markets account lets me buy Bitcoin with direct debit and withdraw the same way. Both are instantaneous.
