I’m a fan of slots too, especially the ones from Pragmatic Play, but lately I’ve noticed something weird… even if it’s the same provider, not all their games work in my region. Some games show up fine, but when you click them you get that annoying “Not available in your region” message.

Kinda confusing why it works like that. Why not just base it on the provider? If one game from the same provider is allowed, then all their games should be allowed too, right?

Anyone else run into this? What’s actually causing it?

I'm sure some people have.

Here is another topic about the same subject: Geo-restriction in some slot games (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5560058.msg65841270#msg65841270)

That seems like the most correct answer:

So with that, does it mean every slot game has its own separate license? It’s not like Pragmatic Play gets one big license that automatically covers all their games, right? So if Pragmatic has like 500 slot titles, does that mean each game needs its own license?

I noticed that too, and if you are going to check their terms and conditions, there are some slots where a certain country is banned and some others are not. If I am not mistaken each of the games (not the provider) needs to have a license, as they need to submit requirements for each game for approval in a certain country or jurisdiction. Also, some jurisdictions ban specific mechanics such as bonus buys or volatility setups.

As you may know, they are all slot games they may have the same type of game but they have different gameplay mechanics, setups, RTPs, etc. and so each of them should be reviewed and get approval from certain country/jurisdiction if they passed their requirements/standards or not.

Almost similar case but what OP asked is about the fact that one provider may allow some of their game to played in a region but some others game are not allowed to be played in the same region. While the dicussion above you quoted is more simple which is about a restriction by provider which means that all games are not available in the restricted countries. @OP, I noticed about it since long time ago since I'm a fan of slot game who like to explore many different providers. For Pragmatic, I can play all their games but the same as yours that I experienced is on other provider Relax Gaming. However it happens not in all casinos because I can play all Relax Gaming games in a casino but some of Relax Gaming are not available in my region at another casino. Complicated, isn't it? :)

Thanks for that answer, Joe. I was actually thinking about the blocked games that I bumped, even though it is the same slot provider as what I played initially.
This actually mostly happens in offshore casino websites because I have not yet experienced one in our local online casino. I mean that should be obvious because it's a local online casino that offers service only for our country so everything must be working.

I don't think so. In Europe, in order to offer betting services, gambling providers must have a specific license for each country, which are not exactly cheap, and in many countries they require KYC upon registration. A few directly forbid crypto gambling and you can play those slots from them.

I believe that basically none of the slot providers have a specific license as they should (they usually have one from Curaçao or similar), but they must be hiding behind some alleged legal loophole to offer them. All of this has gone under the radar for a long time, but less and less so, and I fear that in the future, those crypto slots that can be played from Europe will have to be removed or adapted to EU legislation, which, with the MiCA law, will only be possible for a few if possible at all, the largest ones that can pay the corresponding fees and comply with the regulations.

Not really, but yes, each games can be required to have a different licensing done depending on the country, this is due to some cultural factors, local laws and regulatory bodies causing more licensing issues for the game. For example, if a game uses some music, sounds or a character that was only licensed in some country, before the game can be allowed in some other country too it has to pass a different licensing requirements of that country. But there's another reason why some games are not allowed in some country and that can be due to the developer's decision.

I was replied here with almost identical answer until I read this post shared on this topic that let me check the date of this thread, I thought I double post on same old thread.

Yeah, Game provider has their own set of restricted country which is available on the casino ToS.

They following their own set of license coverage when they are being offered by casino. I believe those listed country can be worked depending on the casino offering it since local casino on my country can offer this restricted game provider.

I used to think the same thing. I thought that if a casino gets a license in my region, everything they offer should be accessible. But now I'm wondering if, in addition to getting a license, some other permits might be needed, or maybe there are some glitches. I think it's best to clarify this issue with support, they can answer more precisely so we don't have to speculate here.

A developer can develop some games that a certain country can be okay with and at the same time produce other games that the same country thinks it's against their ways of life. So it's not really possible that all games can be accepted in a region based on developers. Developers produce different sorts of games as they know that different countries have different laws guiding them, it is left for the countries to pick the ones that align with their ways of life and grant license and reject the ones they don't like.

The only people who can answer these questions are the owners of the companies that create the games, because it doesn't seem to be a licensing issue. Looking at each case individually, there are instances where it doesn't even make sense. I'll give an example from my country: here, gambling is legal, and my government doesn't prohibit international cryptocurrency casinos.


However, I've seen a new casino that advertised a game that wasn't available in my country, which makes no sense. In my country, gambling is legal, and cryptocurrency casinos are accepted even with a license from Curaçao. So, I see that there are other criteria used by gambling companies regarding game availability by region.

I notice that like others. The cause could be licensing or others. Once I asked their representative and they said the game is prohibited in some regions. Well, I don't think much about that because the casino has so many slot games that I can play. I can play the other slot games without bothering to keep playing on that slot. Just leave the slots and pick up the other slots and you will be fine ;D

I didn't know that there was still the possibility of restrictions based on the location of the game providers themselves.
I thought that the limitation would only apply to the casino itself, which may or may not be restricted, but to all casino games, not just some.


It’s important to not bypass this restriction to avoid trouble in the future in case you hit a max win

I believe this is extremely important, even to avoid future problems, since providers may judge the legitimacy of a possible victory

It has rarely happened to me that the game I want to play is not supported in my country. Every game I play works very well in my country. However, if the game providers restrict your area, then there is no problem, you can access it using a VPN. Because if the platform you are gambling on is legal for your country and they do not restrict your country, then you can use a VPN to break the game provider's restrictions, so you will not face any problems and the casino platform will not bother you.

All casino games are built by a particular game provider, most especially the slot games. Basically, they can set restrictions on some region due to certain reasons, which I do not know why.

However, in some regions their government restrict slot games entirely because of the high risk in them. Every other game may run, but slot games won't function.

I experienced the same thing many times in different casinos... I wrote about that in some topics, even in casino ANN threads where I could play some providers I can't play in others, but I don't think we ever saw some concrete answers... I guess casino owners should know more about this, but they are quiet about this.

Many years ago, Pragmatic was forbidden for me in all casinos. A few years ago, I could play Pragmatic in some casinos. But that didn't last long... now it's not available for me again, in all casinos. I can play Pragmatic only with a VPN...

But I miss ELK a lot more than I miss Pragmatic... I could play ELK everywhere, but in one moment that changed, and this provider is unavailable for me in all casinos.

Yes experienced this on metawin when I picked slots with pragmatic play. Though ended up choosing others and it work. Maybe they restricted it on our region bro. Definitely political ties or regulation issue since we have a strict one on gambling and this company probably following rules to avoid problems with it.

Though I heard pragmatic play is good when it comes to reward. We need to pick alternative.

i think i have experienced such thing before when i wanted to sig-up on a casino i clicked in this forum. although i used a vpm to bypass and register it successfully, sometimes you just need to bypass the proxy ban or restriction to be able to use such casino.

i am as well confused as you are, that why is it that some games from same provider is allowed to work in a region why some will not work, maybe i think that it is caused by the game provider or just how that game was programed. some are specifically programmed to work in a particular region while some are programed to work in all region

What I learned through some research is that even though Pragmatic develops the games, every single game they release needs its own license. So some games get approved in certain regions and some don’t. The ones that are approved can be played in that region, and the ones that aren’t approved simply won’t show up or won’t open. That’s why we don’t see all their games available.

It would be nice to play everything since Pragmatic is a popular developer, but they still have laws they need to follow. If casinos open access to games that are restricted in a region, they can get in trouble for that.

I don’t understand why you don’t list the region you are in. Are you using a VPN when you play? I think the answer is very obviously it’s unavailable because it’s not legal in whatever jurisdiction you are in

I believe that the restrictions they put on some of their games is because of the complexity of the requirement that they have to undergo in some of those retracted regions before they can be allowed to make the game available due to the laws governing the region, there could be other reasons but this I know.

I have seen some casino website that when you visit them, they opened in the browser but they don't open service for my country, that means you can't open an account with them because if you select another country and use VPN, it can work but they will request a mobile number from you, if you don't have a phone number from that country, you will not be able to register with them, they don't ask for Kyc with basic registration but that basic alone can't help you register.

I think it has to do with regional challenges, some countries don't want unregistered casino to come to their country, if you do and you are found guilty, you will be sue. Some casino are avoiding this problems not to get involved in any problems.

Sometimes the restrictions are not coming from the casino, but the game providers, that is why you may have challenges in such manner, however, it also depends on the gambling platform about which game provider do they uses or support, as this has a lot to do with how you could achieve a varieties of games and have access to playing them within your region, except if you engaged the use of VPN.

this subject has been discussed several times before. Anyway, yeah, t's quite common that some slots games are restricted in some region and all of this is because to the license  and regulations each country has.

Local sites are definitely up to standard so you won't find anything like that, unless it's a rogue casino, or your local casino operates globally, they have slots that are for the global public but your country can't access them, even if it is, this kind of thing is possible, but most local sites don't have anything like that because they don't have a bigger space to accept outside customers.

I've never come across that in outside casinos, maybe because gambling is banned in my country, so there's no special treatment about auditing games that are viable or not, because our country doesn't open up the industry.

It’s not really about the company/provider tbh. Even if Pragmatic Play is allowed in your region, some or most of their games may still be blocked because of local gambling laws that's being followed. So, it will really depends on the rules of your country. Kinda annoying but that just how it works, better stick to slots that's available for you or if your casino is ok with using VPN, go with that. Problem solve!

Maybe you haven’t experienced what I experienced, but I did -- I can play some Pragmatic games, but other games from the same provider aren’t available. So it’s really the game that isn’t legal in my region, not the provider itself. Some games are allowed, some aren’t.

Using a VPN is a good bypass, yes, but it’s risky. We might regret it if we ever hit a max win and the casino refuses to pay because we violated their TOS.

I've also found something that says "Not available in your area." I'm trying to find out why that happens.
I found the quote below.

So, I understand and understand the conclusion in the quote above, which means that not all slot games are owned by gambling sites, some are rented and some are owned, so I am sure that every slot game has a license for slots that are rented and owned by other people.
Yes, maybe we don't have a problem with slots owned by gambling site owners, it's definitely a problem with slots that are rented, they can only be accessed in licensed areas, I think so.

In my experience, if there is a game that is not available for my region, then all games with the same provider will also not be available, maybe because I never check one by one, for example, I have clicked on sweet bonanza and it is not available for my region, then I will not click on other games from pragmatic play.
I don't know what the cause of this strange thing is for me.

different casino platform different rules.

I am playing mostlywith 1win ccasino because theres no restriction for  my county with Pragmatic Play and nolimit.
While in some platforms like BetPanda, Betfury and other casino I can play PP via VPN.

In some platform which i will not tell, my country can't even register on their casino.

I thought about VPN but there goes the problem of withdrawal of winnings.
In essence, I think it may be due to the fact that such games may be under licensing agreement or authorization or simply because the casino wants to avoid some form of legal prosecution or financial penalties from the regulatory agencies overlooking that region or state.

Otherwise, I couldn't think of any other better explanations why some casino games may be restricted in some regions.

I've not come across that doesn't mean there are no related signs and that's why I don't buy into slots games because most issues could be from the slots games providers, because you can find so manycasinos games around my regions but if slots games isn't available and their tends to be difficulties in trying to make use of it then it's probably from the providers.

OK. That makes more sense, though.
It is true that some countries will require many licensing papers and legal documents in which many casinos would not want to pass through that process.
Although in a case where there are many gambles in that region, they may act otherwise.

In my country there were some ind of restrictions were in place for game of chance and by law most casino games they consider as a game of skill and very few isn't so that might be a reason why some games were not available.

But I wonder what if you were allowed to gamble in a casino but not for a specifica game then you decided to use VPN to bypass the restriction which is any kind of violation of casino rules?

It has been happening countless times you see that some gambling casinos don't support specific regions, they have their reasons for this restriction and mainly this is coming from their game providers, while in some permissive cases, the use of vpn may be advised provided its not against their ToS, alternatively, we can use another platform that may support our region for gambling.

Better not use a VPN to bypass any limitation of your country, because if you need to do KYC you will have a big trouble.

Only use VPN in casinos if you want some privacy and use the same country you are because then you don't give the casino any excuse to steal your withdrawal and leave you with nothing but losses

Better to play another game that is available and is much safer if anything goes wrong.

A VPN is indeed the best way to access restricted games, but if not properly understood, this advice can be misleading for new users. Even if a casino platform is legal in a particular country, if the provider has a different license, it can certainly cause major problems in the long run, as Cointxz noted.

What I’m confused about is the fact that a certain provider with different games can be functioning but just one out of all of them won’t be available for me that’s what I don’t really get. Like, let’s say a provider has 20 different games present in that specific casino, you’ll be able to access 19 out 20 of them but the last one won’t be available in your region, if providers use one license for their game doesn’t that mean all of them are supposed to work for me?

I don’t know the specific provider I experienced this from, but I know I tried a different game and I was able to play it meanwhile that specific one didn’t work for me and that was the only time although, threads have been created pertaining to this Sam issue.

Many licenses are per game, not per provider. Just because a provider is available in a casino does not mean that all their games work for that country. Maybe they release a new game and you need a license for that new game and until you have one it will be blocked specifically on that case.

Sometimes the casino can also limit a game because of other issues or business reasons.

I never had this issue, I can access every game that is listed on the casino or atleast as far as I checked. Probably I haven't checked every game or casino but I can say UK based casinos put complete restrictions and that applies to the casino itself not just specific for certain games. I play sweet bonanze, olympus, sugar rush and avaiator and I believe all of them from plagmatic play.

Some casinos don't forbid the use of VPN. You could see that in their terms of service. The problem lies when the VPN is not accepted, and you still use it to bypass the restrictions. Some of these casinos want to offer services in some jurisdiction, but government policies might be the impediment. So they permit users to use a VPN to access the platform. Using VPN even when it is permitted has its disadvantages. It's safer to use casinos that are restricted in your location.

Well, I honestly I dont much more about some games from a provider being available in a region, and some other games from the same game provider turning out not to be available in the same region, what I've always seen and experienced myself on multiple occasions is when a game from a certain provider is not available in my region, then certainly every game from that provider won't be available as well..

But I am not surprised though since I already know that one thing that is very constant in life is change, things must have change a bit, and there no other reason that causes this game restriction in some regions aside from licensing issues, it's possible that the game provider may need to acquire a certain license from the regulators of a region before their games becomes available to gamblers from that region to play, maybe one license no longer covers all the games from a provider, they may need to acquire several licenses and this we see that some games are available to play while other games are not available..

I am just assuming, I might be wrong..

I have not experienced this before, because i do not play too many different slot games. My favorite slot game is sweet bonanza from pragmatic play provider and whenever i want to play slot, i simply stick to it. The reason why this happens is obviously about licensing, as a couple of other replies have suggested. Your location would also determine if you experience this or not, depending on how strict the gambling regulatory board in your country is.

Yes, I have encountered several slots not available in my country.  It is possible that the one causing it is the regulation of the country but I am confused since there is a case in my country where a certain slot provider is allowed and licensed in my country, they even have a physical office here, if I am not mistaken, and yet their game is unavailable to access in the same country.

I don't understand why you say it's safer to use casinos that are restricted in your location? This makes no sense to me.

I think it's safer to use casinos that are NOT restricted in your location, because then you are not breaking any rules from your country or from the casino that can be used against you to freeze your account and take your bet wins money.

Not just casino games generally this problem is common with few casino in a different region, I think the restriction is coming from the casino because after using VPN the site works perfectly fine including casino games. Using VPN is not advisable due to certain reason probably after wining big the casino requires personal information so it’s best anyone encountering these issue with any casino game should just avoid and play other accepted games, I’m sure this is a restriction set by either the government or casino commonly license problem and paying for these license cost much.

Casino nowadays usually hide restricted game provider on your country by default. You can only see accessible casino on the listed game provider.

The OP maybe noticed this unaccessible game provider because they are the popular once such as pragmatic play and evolution gaming which are both restricted too on my country while we frequently saw this game on discussion and promotion.

while some are available in the same regions others are not available, some countries specifically bans some games, that is not longer regional restrictions like the first topic on this issue was centered, I'm not familiar with how this licensing works but they are basically supposed to be reviewed by one entity and allow games to be hosted by a casino in their country or region as long as it comes across a particular provider but it doesn't seem so anymore as it could be approved and yet not available for a particular set of people which i believe it's based on countries requirements.

One of the main reasons why gambling games do not work in all countries is geopolitical restrictions. It may be against some rules or policies for that country, which is why game providers do not allow access to various games in that region. However, for some other related reasons, gambling and casino establishments restrict certain gambling games in some countries, but only the government and game providers of that country can say why.

Yet gamblers in those regions are likely using VPNs from different countries to access the games.

Accessing restricted games through the use of VPN is always a red flag to me because you are intentionally violating the set restrictions of the game provider that might be used against you in case you win big.

There’s a lot of game provider choices that offer same game experience so there’s no point on violating the restrictions just to play games that offers same level of fun by different providers available.

I guess some people will still take that risk because they don’t intend to win big anyway. And a lot of gamblers don’t bother creating multiple accounts, so they just stick to one casino and play whatever games are available. Since some casinos don’t require KYC, using a VPN might help them access more games.

I think there are gamblers using VPNs who still manage to withdraw without issues, probably because their wins aren’t huge enough to trigger the casino’s checks. If I were running a casino and the regulators weren’t too strict, I’d probably let them play too. More players means more volume, which only benefits the casino.

I, like you, enjoy playing slot games, but in all my betting, I've never experienced what you're talking about. Is this due to restrictions? Have you tried opening them using a VPN? Who knows, maybe a game that previously wouldn't open could be played.

I'm quite comfortable with Pragmatic Play slot games, but I only know of one, if not more than five games. As far as I can remember, I've experienced a game being unavailable at one online casino even though it was available at another. This game disappeared without a message like "Not available in your region" because you couldn't even click on it because the game wasn't available.

If some of the games under the same provider are available in the casino and accessible as well by the same country that restricts its citizens from playing some particular games, it could only be that those restricted games did not pass licensing requirements, as I believe there should be some criteria to determine which game is qualified and which one is not, and not just only about the money.

Thank you. haha

I haven’t tried it because I know a VPN will just mess up my account. I have a feeling that if I use a VPN to bypass those restrictions, it might let me access the site, but the consequences… I don’t even want to imagine it. Getting my account blocked for that reason is not worth the risk.

That’s a different thing though.

It is not about the individual slot game; the relegation is coming from the slot provider itself. If a casino has restrictions in your region, you won't be able to play your Sweet Bonanza in that casino.

It is either you stick to your current casino or don't try new ones at all. In case you want to try new ones, first check if slot games are acceptable in that region before making any deposit in the casino.

Yes, I experience that but I don't think much about it. If that slot game is not available in my region, I will search for other slot games. One casino will have so many slot games that I can choose to play. So there is nothing to worry about.

I think that is about license in the region. But I never think seriously and take it easy. Besides that, if one casino is not available in my region, I can search for it in other casinos. I've had this experience too and it doesn't stop me from playing the same slot game at other casinos.

A small typo there, you said "if one casino isn't available in your region, you will search for it in another casino", I guess you meant  to say that if one slot game isn't available in your region, then you will search for the slot game on another casino..
Well, and I want to ask, is that slot games licenced by the casino itself or the provider of the slot game?

I am asking this because, assuming the casinos are the ones who license the slot games, then it's possible for a slot game to be available in this casino and not be available on another casino that may not have acquired to licence to run the slot game in a certain region.
But assuming the slot game is licensed by the game provider themselves, isn't the license obtained by the game provider supposed to cover for all casinos that list the slot game? How possible is it that the slot game will be available on this casino in this region and won't be available on the next casino in the same region?

Maybe you need to check 1 provider which is not availbale in your region, then explore some different casinos and you may see that the provider is available in other casino while it is not in other casinos. Let me give you an example:
https://talkimg.com/images/2025/11/22/UP8ucT.png https://talkimg.com/images/2025/11/22/UP8dto.png
This a provider namely Relax Gaming, as you can see that I it is not available in my region at Stake but it is available in my region at Shuffle. The other example is that a provider namely NoLimitCity is not available for me at Betpanda and some other casinos, while the same provider is available for me at Stake and Shuffle. There might be some other providers but since there are too many providers out there and I do not play all of them, so I provide 2 examples which I am familiar with only. This fact proves that it is possible to see a provider is available for us in some casinos while it is not in some other casinos.

To be honest, I've never faced something like this yet, but I don't play often. But I think that people in Europe can see such things more often. I read on a forum that a lot of casino sites are not available there.

Yeah, one of which is the casino in my signature, the representative of the casino clearly states that they allow the use of VPN.



I am very curious about the disadvantages of using VPN even if permitted, can you tell me what they are?  All I know is that using VPN when permitted won't cause us any issue using it on the platform that permits it so I wanted to know what these disadvantages are, if you don't mind :).



There fixed it for you :)

yeah as far as I know that’s basically how it works. Providers don’t just get one all access licence that automatically covers every slot they release. Each game still has to pass through the regulator of specific region & not all titles make it through sometimes because of local rules sometimes because the casino hasn’t paid for or activated that specific licence yet so even if the provider is the same, the availability can still vary per game. It’s more on the compliance side than the technical side that’s why some games show up & others don’t even within the same provider.

From what I've been reading and looking at on websites... Well,

This happens because not all games from the same provider have the same authorization to operate in all regions. Some titles require very specific licenses, and the casino or regulator doesn't always approve them all.

Therefore, even if they are from the same studio, some open normally and others show the message that it's not available. I've seen other people commenting on this as well, so it's something relatively common.

This happens because even though they are all games from Pragmatic Play, they are separate products with different themes, distinct mechanics and varying RTP. The thing is, each country and even state (in the case of the USA, for example) has its own laws and dictates what is allowed and what is not. That's why some games are authorized to operate and others are not... you understand that for Pragmatic Play it isnt viable to maintain multiple versions of the same game in different countries, right? That is why they prefer to block them.

But that is not the only factor, there are also commercial agreements too... the casino may have bought the "complete package" of games and therefore has the entire Pragmatic Play slot catalog available to players. But a smaller casino may not have enough customers to justify the need to buy the "complete package", so they buy something smaller and then some games are available and others are not.

Is it possible to use a VPN to bypass this? It is always possible, but you know that nowadays it is increasingly easy to detect VPN use, right? So you need to carefully assess whether the risk is worth it... have you ever thought about winning a huge prize, going to account review and not being able to withdraw the money because they detected illegal VPN use on your account? That would be quite frustrating.

Many gamblers have the same experience. But gamblers will still be playing slots by choosing the other slot games. Pragmatic Play sometimes has these restrictions but that will not be a problem because that provider has so many slot games. We can select other slot games or switch to other slot games from other providers. I don't bother with that since I can use the other slots from other providers.

I have this issue quite often. I get this message. I just change the VPN country and everything works. It happens. At first, I was surprised, just like you. Then I figured out a solution myself. As I understand it, slots aren't allowed in all countries. That's why I get this warning. It's resolved, right? If not, try my solution. It worked for me. I can't be 100% sure, but nothing hurts to try.

Well, you are right, the issue with restricted slot game is often not something to really bother about majorly because there are hundreds (if not thousands) of other slot games available for us to play, and one thing with slot games is that they are all come with the very same mechanics, no difference at all aside picture images and or maybe sounds as well for some others..

I don't know about other gamblers but for me, slot games carry exactly the same level of fun, no one of them is more interesting to play than the other because how this one is played is exactly how the other one is played as well, the only reason why I think slot games are striving well is due to its high addictiveness, and one spirit that is behind the game that is always forcing the player to chase after their loss 😁

Mate, just to be on the safe side what you need to make sure is that your casino allows the use of VPNs, as most do not. Some do, and maybe you're not doing anything wrong. For example, Bitz.io does allow it, and it's not the only one, but most do not. What I've done personally when I've encountered this problem and the casino doesn't allow the use of VPNs is simply to choose to play among those that are actually available.

I have not noticed this, what I have seen so far is it casino knows that your country is anti gambling, they will not even allowed you to register on their casino. We have many of them advertising on the service board and the bounty board, when you visit the website, the casino respond with this casino isn't available in your region no matter how you try but once you use a VPN to change your IP address to a different location the casino opens up.

If not that we love too earn bonuses or maybe some kind of offers new casino use to lure customers to their website, we don't have business to with plenty casino. One or two reputable casino is okay for your game, you can enjoy anything you want with one casino and if the game isn't available, I'm sure it will be available in the other casino. Trying to chase small small money lead you to where you don't expect because some casino are just good by mouth, they are poor by service.

I had run into the same issue mentioned by OP and I thought it did not make sense for a game provider to restrict some of their game to one country of other games done by them were easily accessible from the same country, but your explanation makes sense, I would have never countries and jurisdiction restricted games based on the mechanics within them.

Though that does not explain why there are some games restricted from being accessed from my country, when there is no effective gambling authority here, my guess is due to some sanctions which are applied on this country, some providers cannot legally offer their games here. I am from Venezuela, by the way.

I guess some regulators assume there are mechanics which (while enhancing gameplay and animations), it could also make slots more addictive in the long term for those how are not responsible enough. 

The problem with casinos that allow VPN use is that they then ask the player to complete KYC (Know Your Customer). The player submits documents from a certain country, and the casino sees that they are accessing the site from another country, even if it's a permitted one. Therefore, the casino will withhold the player's funds until they provide documents from the country they are logging in from. Of course, even if the player explains everything, they won't be able to justify their actions. In the end, the casino will keep all the player's money. That's why it's not reliable to use a VPN, even when the casino says it allows it.

During my time gambling, I have never noticed any games that are not available in my area but are available in other people's areas, moreover, I only gamble on a few games and that is consistent, so I never try new games, especially since the gambling I do is only on the type of gambling that depends on luck, even though there might be a different display sensation if I try other games, but I don't do it, because I am lazy enough to try it.

The casino I play at allows VPN use. However, not all countries allow it. Some have restrictions. I've encountered sites where VPN use was strictly prohibited. I simply passed by such sites. Why complicate your life? No, then no. I've learned about many wonderful casinos on this forum. I really liked some of them, especially because the registration process is very simple, there's no need to verify your identity, and there are no problems with withdrawals.

Whether it’s allowed or not, using a VPN is irrelevant because it’s mainly just a way to protect your privacy and hide your real IP. Most casinos allow that for that specific purpose, some even encourage it. However, if it’s used to bypass restrictions mentioned, then that’s going to put your account at risk. Your funds could be frozen for violating the TOS.

It must be that you’re in a location where gambling isn’t a problem, or the regulators are very welcoming and give licenses to almost everything. You’re lucky. But in countries like the Philippines, the experience isn’t like that. Gambling isn’t totally banned, but there are games that aren’t playable here. The only option is to use a VPN, but that comes with a risk, and that is losing your account.

The game providers are the major cause to the unavailability of some casino games in our region, because to be sincere, they could be selective in making this availability, as not all the regions have the ability of giving them the required result they may wanted to generate, which they must have taken some visibility study on how they could accept and reject some regions base on their findings.

One day, while it was my game time, I logged into my dashboard with one of the casinos that is present on this platform. As usual, I dashed for my regular slot game, and I noticed this slot game, so I decided to give it a try. When I clicked on it, it redirected me to the website, but it didn't open. I tried several times the same issue persisted, so I had to try other slot games, and I was able to access their platform, that made me curious, so I chatted with their online support, narrating my experience with the slot game. After many findings, I was told that the game providers have restrictions on my country, which is why I was not able to access the game. After that experience, that was when I realised not all game providers permit some nations on their platforms.

Yea, it's same with every business, in a situation where you believe or have seen the writing on the wall that you are going to make so much gains from doing or promoting a particular product in your business, no matter how complex the process of marketing is, you will make sure to bring the product to attract those audiences who are going to patronize you. So, that's it, of they see that the targeted audience are going to be so interested in that game that will worth their stress of licensing the game, they will.

There’s a missing key aspect on this opinion. It’s not wrong but with missing details.

Game provider has limited country which they allowed their games to be played due to their license since each country has their own gambling regulations that needs to acquire license.

That’s the part which the profit generation requirements come. They only acquire license on profitable countries and leave other country restricted to avoid legal problem since they think that license cost is not worthy to the potential profit they can get.

In fact, I live in a country that prohibits gambling activities because it is against the law as well, but you know yourself that currently there is a lot of online-based gambling so gambling in my country is like a legal activity to do, and even all circles are doing it. For the use of vpn occasionally I use it but it is done because I can not access some casinos, openings with the game. And when I gamble at casinos that require me to use vpn, the games I choose are the usual games.

In fact, there are not many gambling platforms that don't require verification. If, after registration, a platform allows you to play and withdraw funds without verification, this doesn't mean that it won't require KYC in the future. I mean, it's important to keep this in mind and carefully read the ToS, especially if you use a VPN to bypass restrictions.
