Can you promote casinos in your signature that You cant access in your region?

[EluguHcman]

Any gambling sites that I promote in My signature, what I do first before I apply for the signature is to check the website and create account on it before I apply, and when I am accepted into the campaign I do put in some amount to try the casino and see if I get lucky on them, I continue to use them as least till I finish the promotional deal.
This make me to reject application into some campaigns if I have regional restrictions on those casinos I will not apply to the signature, since I won't be able to test them to give my insight on their services.

I understand the area you are emphasizing on is so that you don't promote companies that may not be reliable or disreputable for the public. That is a good thought of you but I don't find it problematic if I can not access the gambling site due to regional restrictions in as much we are referring to promote the site (s) right here in the bitcointalk community. What you should consider as alternative to define the reliability of the casino or gambling platform is the campaign managers reputations.

I am also not going to lie, it is tempting to keep this your rules when the campaign project is monetized.
I don't mean to encourage evil at when money is concerned but in this case, you must understand that the campaign managers has diligently made their findings about the reputation of the company they would agree or accept the management offer of the project.

This lead me to ask the community, your opinion on promoting a platform that you can't access, how do you feel about it, are you ok promoting them, or you prefer to just skip such an offer?

Why not? it is still promoting though, and we can't control whether casinos restricted your casinos or not. If you have that kind of mindset, then obviously you might not get the chance even if you are qualified to promote them.

Maybe you're strict on your own rules, but for sure many of us here might have done it many times here, promoting a casino that they don't have access but still they contribute to the nice discussion about that casino.

I recently promoted one. It was difficult to access without having to "circumvent" the restriction, which I don't recommend. After all, if you win a good amount, it will be practically impossible to withdraw. If you need to confirm your residency, the rule has already been broken, and the casino has every right to deny the request. I don't know if I would promote it again; it depends on the proposal...

Even in my country, all forms of gambling are prohibited. Does that mean I cannot promote gambling in my signature? Of course not.

I don't have a problem with that in my activities. What I do have a problem with is whether there are issues of fraud or unfairness in the casinos I promote. I would stop and cancel it if those two factors were present, because that is the principle I use. I will not promote fraud.

So you mean you broke the Stake ToS when you created an account there since the signature campaign payment was sent directly to your account while Stake have a terms that restrict user to create an account if your country doesn’t allowed gambling.

In normal case which signature campaign payment was sent directly to wallet address this is fine you don’t need to break the ToS of company you are promoting.

The casino I promote, Stake, does not impose restrictions to my country, but my country imposes restrictions on all casinos. Please do not misunderstand, because these are different cases: a casino imposing restrictions on a country and a country imposing restrictions on a casino. These are different cases, so the bottom line is that I am still very free to work with casinos (as long as the casino does not impose restrictions on my country).

I have no problem promoting them. And this is because the reach is global. It is not targeting people in my region. I hope you know that there have been some casino signature campaigns on the forum that only required participants from only a particular region of the world because that  is where their target audience is at. So if my country doesn't have access to it, how about the neighboring countries and other regions. So you see, it is wide reaching. And I promote responsible gambling as well.

[rdluffy]

That's an interesting and relevant question
In all the signature campaigns I've participated in, I've made a point of using the service I was promoting, and right now I'm doing the same thing, using only Winna to place my bets

It's worth remembering that some casinos allow the use of VPNs without any problem, while others do not, so it's good to pay attention to that fact
I think it's important to know the service you're promoting

How can you manage to win if you can't even access the site in the first place?  Right?

If that's due to a VPN, that's not a good choice.
Why?  Because they will later on detect that you are violating their rules, which are clearly stated on their ToS.
It's really hard to promote a gambling casino that you can't even test to justify the services offered, especially when there are promotions.

I think what we should look out for is transparency or and not restriction although it's also good to check those things but what matters most is reputation, they can actually work on your geographical area and removed restriction that is placed on that section.
When a casino is reputed enough it would be that good to always promote them, in fact in most casinos that I have also promoted I have used their gambling site especially this Metawin that I am promoting, sorry to say, it's the best gambling site that I have ever promoted here and I can also attest to their smartness and transparencies.

[GiftedMAN]

Is this forum against that? If No then I don't see why I won't do it, I'll only do things according to the rules of the forum or according to the rules of the manager of the campaign that I'm working and if it permits me to do it then I don't see any problem with it at least promoting them helps increase traffic in the forum regardless of whether it's accepted in my country or not.

[Dunamisx]

Mostly we don't get the criteria of being a user and gamble playing on the same intended casino platform before acceptance to make promotions for them, even though if we have experience in using the platform could be of a better edge for us to understand more about what we promote and also have experience in using, most campaigns will make it a voluntary decision that we discussed on the announcement thread or even play on their platform as we promote for them.

Correct, signature campaign is a separate service from the casino itself. Forum have its own set of rules while casino ToS doesn’t cover here which means any user can promote a casino on his signature space since it will be done on the forum.

But the OP probably based on professionalism side since he can’t have any access on the casino which means limited knowledge he can’t get to promote the casino.

I don’t misunderstand your situation. Casino normally add a general term aside from the specific country listed as restricted cover other country that imposed a law that restricts its citizens to play online casino just like yourself.




It means that Stake can’t operate to your country because your country doesn’t allowed online casino. It’s always a 2 way restriction unless Stake acquired a license to operate on your country which is possible.

Anyway, I hope you will not experience inconvenience in the future.

In my country, all forms of gambling are prohibited, not only stakes, but also duelbits, rollbits, and anything related to gambling in my country is prohibited due to the laws and regulations in my country, but these prohibitions cannot completely restrict me from accessing any casino or online gambling, as there are many ways to bypass the restrictions imposed by my country.

I acknowledge that there is a risk if something goes wrong, but so far it has been safe and smooth. The most important thing is that I gamble responsibly and do not violate the rules of the casino I use.

This whole approach really comes across as very disciplined and thoughtful in a space where most people rush to grab a paying campaign without thinking too much about what’s behind it taking the time to actually open an account on the site, check its functions and even risk some of your own money before putting it in your signature shows a lot of integrity it gives a real sense of what that platform is like instead of just repeating marketing slogans. Not applying to campaigns with regional restrictions also sends the right message it’s better to skip an offer than to promote something you can’t personally test or vouch for that kind of consistency makes a reputation worth far more than any single campaign payout relying on campaign managers’ reputations as a secondary filter also makes sense because experienced managers are usually careful about which projects they’ll risk their names on.

Money is always going to be a temptation in this space especially when a new campaign offers a high payout but cutting corners for short-term gain tends to backfire in the long run the community watches how people behave and once a name is associated with low-quality or shady promotions it’s hard to recover from that sticking to clear standards even when it’s tempting to compromise builds a track record of honesty.

I get what you mean, testing a site yourself is definitely the best. For me, Im okay promoting a platform I cant access, as long as its well known and Ive seen good feedback from other users. I just mention that I haven’t tried it personally, but it seems reliable overall.

So exciting to see that this thread have gotten to 5 pages already and sure I will have gotten whatever I needed From the whole replies on this thread and I will like to thank everyone for their response, and sure it may be ok for some to promote what they don't use, but is against my personal beliefs to stand and put out something that I can't use since I see that if I do so I am not fully performing my responsibility.

Responsibility both to the brand and the customer that I am making the promotions to attract them and get paid for, so I will go ahead to lock this thread going forward.
