Works for me and i'm not even in the UK! The UK restriction bit is for the promotion only (the gifts):

Promotion Guidelines
Offer good only to Windows Live Messenger v8 users who are UK residents. Limit one gift per person.
I think you might want to check out your IE Security settings:
open Internet Explorer
click the Tools menu > Internet Options >
Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section, and verify that "Check for server certificate revocation" is unchecked. Also verify that 'Use SSL 2.0' and Use SSL 3.0' is checked, then click OK.
Also note that bots might not always work..i got a few and one day they work and the other they don't....
Edit: No need to alter anything in your passport setting or system settings at all! It's just another contact addy. You get to accept an invitation to start the activity after you said hello to the bot.
