If you’d like to sign up for HBO Max, you cando so on the website for $14.99 per month. HBO Max is currently only available in the US. However, you can still sign up for an account right here in the UK using a mobile and a VPN.
VPNs (virtual private networks) reroute your IP address so you can browse the web as if you’re from another country. To watch Godzilla Vs. Kong on HBO Max, you will want to connect to a US server.
For the best performance, speeds and pricing, we recommend eitherNordVPNorExpressVPN. You can also check out our picks of thebest VPNs for HBO Maxfor further recommendations.
Billing information for HBO Max
For the next step, you’ll need the HBO Max app. We have successfully tested this method using NordVPN and an Android phone.
Once you’ve signed up for your VPN of choice, you’ll need to download it on either your iOS or Android device. The HBO Max website currently only allows you to sign up if you have a payment card that’s tied to the US. If you don’t have that, here are the steps you should take:
There have been reports of users not being able to install HBO Max on iOS as the app store forces users to register their payment details and doesn’t accept UK PayPal if you try to register with this account.
To get round this, we recommend purchasing US App Store credit via a digital gift card – which can be added as a US payment option.
You can purchase this from places such asAmazon US, though there are other retailers available. You’ll need a website that allows you to pay with UK bank details. The typical minimum amount available to purchase is $25 – enough to cover one month’s subscription of HBO Max.
When the site asks you to put in the recipient, enter your own email address and the code to redeem the money will be sent to your inbox. Then when you need to add payment information in the app store, select ‘redeem gift card or code’, and you should be able to add the money as credit on your account.
With this, you should then be able to sign up for an HBO Max account. Once your account is active, you can change your payment information back to your UK PayPal via the website to avoid having to pay for a new gift card every single time if you want to carry on your subscription.
We’d like to stress using a VPN is against HBO’s terms of service, so the company could cancel your account at any time. Proceed at your own risk.
