Imo indeed bad advice, if he wants to withdrawl, he will have to send his passport, they see he does not have an official french or spanish one, and they won't pay out, would you take the risk? You can try, but don't be surprised if they keep your money.
Watch out playing with vpn's, if you make decent money they won't pay out, I read a forum post few weeks ago a pro pokerstars player who lost a few 100 k(on this website, check forum) because of this, and he was forbidden to play certain live events also(think some wsop or ept).
Maby on party/bwin or ipoker network it's different, but on PS, you can say goodbye to your money, you can try, but don't be surprised if they don't payout and block your account.
Of course some players do it, and get away with it, but probably use certain machines that are almost undetectable, but like the pro on PS, he also had 'undetectable' device, and he was screwed.
Pokerstars software can check everyting, every program/process you run, every website you open, and also they way you open it. Maby bwin is not so advanced. But i used to use proxys myself, because of connection problems on ipoker, and i only was able to connect to room with proxy from other country, every time i did it, they locked my account, and had to do a reset of password with helpdesk. Also when i used those proxys on party/bwin, client woudn't connect and i think i got message that i was playing from country without license.
Vpn are completly different thing, but it always leaves a trail , only depends if software client can trace it.
Maby u can contact bwin/party your self in advance, and explain the situation, you can also do this anomynous with email they don't know, just to be certain and don't get problems asking it
If you do, and they respond, you always can tell us the answer they send you
