Why is primedice restricted in some countries?

[Straux]

Hey guys, I've heard alot of good things about primedice and how it has a great community and interface.

I've always wanted to bet there, but for some reason primedice restricts players from using their site in my country, Australia. Why is this?

Also, is it restricted in any other countries?

Use a free VPN to bypass this. Lots of free vpns on the web.
I am guessing it's because it is illegal in some places/gambling laws do not allow you to gamble without verification, e.t.c

[klf]

If I'm not wrong it is not primedice restrict people to access there website but some countries are blocking primedice site so you can't access. Primedice want more people to play there game but because of its popularity some countries are blocking it. If you want than you can use VAN.

Its not up to them, its what the gambling laws are in that country. There is nothing you can do really.

[--Encrypted--]

Why is this?

US and Australia banned PD a while ago.

...and PD banned Australian users by not allowing them to register.

Primedice might be illegal in Australia, bit I never knew that. But why did they restrict us? It's also banned in the US, as someone else has said, bit primedice doesn't restrict Americans...

Is hufflepuff Australian? ;P

[--Encrypted--]

I'm prettttty sure that US users get restricted too. only they're too advanced and obsessed with anonymity that they didn't even notice.

Yeah it is true that some country banned some sites so you can't play on it. I think you can just change your IP or VPN to continue playing in primedice.  There is nothing that you can't do in this world, unless you are not trying anything

But why has primedice banned Australia in particular? They haven't banned players from the United States.

And also, why haven't other sites like crypto-games or FastDice banned players in Australia? Or is it because the Australian government banned primedice in particular?

it is posted on the primedice thread but i cant find it as of now, probably because different countries have different laws about online gambling and by that PrimeDice choose to block all users from those countries but if really still want to gamble at PD you use VPN or proxy

[bitbaby]

You could have asked this question in the Primedice thread itself instead of opening a new thread for it.

Not only PD, some of the other sites do this too. They ban players from these countries because Casinos without a proper license are not allowed in those countries and they do this to protect themselves from any legal issues. I think this was after or around the time Micon was arrested and Seals with Clubs was shutdown.

Also, a word of caution, if your country is banned and you still deposit and play at those casinos using Tor/VPN/Proxy, your funds might get confiscated if the casino finds out your location. And you're more likely to get your funds stolen through MITM attack, so be careful.

I think online gambling is not allowed in some countries and primedice is quite popular site for online gambling so many countries are banned this site. It is not accessible even from Singapore also.

Maybe it's because many countries banned primedice then primedice banned back all the countries that block primedice. by the way you can use vpn or proxy, extension browsec to open primedice.

It is a common practice because they want to follow the law. Sites that dont restrict access have a higher chance of being looked closer at by the the authorities. Many sites have restrictions in place that forbid specific countries from playing there.
The usual solution is VPS or a VPN as suggested.

Have you tried other gambling sites to make sure they open in your country or not? if not,then clearly your country banned these sites for legal issues,May be these sites are not legal in your country..If yes,and only primedice is not opening then primedice banned users from your country and you can know the reason by posting in "Primedice Thread" on bitcointalk.
If you still want to play on primedice at your own risk then just use any secure vpn mate.

[tolikkk]

I think that due to the limited legislative component in different countries in relation to bitcoin and to the services based on it, imposes some restrictions on these resources in one form or another, but not going beyond General principles, although it may play, the fact that such services can be used anonymously, and that of course the regulators is the desire to eat and what is open for people to talk about it no one will

Like everyone mentioned it. May be Australia that blocked primedice for their people to play on it, we dont even know it. So meanwhile you can try to use VPN or IP changer to play it. Or you can contact primedice support for this matter

[gizane]

Maybe it's because many countries banned primedice then primedice banned back all the countries that block primedice. by the way you can use vpn or proxy, extension browsec to open primedice.

There is no way primedice would block them just because their country banned their site to be played on their region. The purpose of opening this site is to attract more people to play so what is the point for banning them to play at primedice?

[vendetahome]

well you can easily use vpn or proxies in order to access the website in a restricted country, it might be restricted because of a one reason only in my opinion, different countries have different regulations on bitcoin, i hope you will manage to access it and win a lot of money

[Betwrong]

I'm prettttty sure that US users get restricted too. only they're too advanced and obsessed with anonymity that they didn't even notice.

haha, that's a good one! 

But actually I agree at least partly. PrimeDice is banned in the US as far as I know and nevertheless you can still see some people from the US in the PD chat. You know, if you want something badly you will find a way to do it.)

[lite]

This isn't true primedice would be in trouble if they don't follow certain rules/restrictions, primedice is banned only in some countries where gambling is illegal.
i always use vpn on gambling sites regardless  it's banned in my country or not.

[Nimbulan]

when i tried to register for primedice the first time i had this issue too so i had to download the program of vpn in order to access it, with the program everything is really fluent and i never have any problems, the only problem is that i loose my money there

if u didn't lost there, u would have lost somewhere else anyway 

[Temo58]

Straux. use VPN, or VPS or dedicated servers. same is in my country. using HMA VPN. or for first try, you can use free proxyes.

[Slark]

Op if you are from USA or Australia you should probably know that these countries banned  every "outside-operated" online casino or similar service.
If you have still access to some of them from US that mean they are either illegal - and still not giving shit about US regulations, or are licensed in US.

Status of online gambling in some coutires, search USA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_gambling

[tiggytomb]

Tons if not all the bitcoin sites are banned in the UK also, waiting for one of the big mainstream ones to pickup bitcoin, the likes of bet365 or paddypower would be great.

[hua_hui]

although my country dont ban pd but i have some esport site that i cant access too. bet365 is one of them. it is to prevent people from gamble away their money too easily so these r meant to have some kind of control/prevention. but as u all noe, there is many other similar site.

[mutab]

a lot of countries have different opinion about bitcoins and the way it works, in my opinion because of that they try to ban bitcoins from people usage you can still access it with proxies though, i think that its non sense that such things as banning bitcoins is done

I never knew australia was restricted, i was aware they pulled out of USA and thats probably a good decision.  US gov can flex their muscles at any time and go after websites like we saw with seals.

[fox19891989]

For legal issue, i know satoshibet has closed their site cause if legal issue, although they didn't announce the truth, but yes, this is the reason, stunna wanna keep wealthy but not got to jail, so ban some countries is very necessary.

Maybe it's because of gambling licenses? Although I don't think that is very common in btc gambling. I think they are still bypassing this issue, but maybe some countries are already making things difficult for the btc gambling world, I don't know.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Use a free VPN to bypass this. Lots of free vpns on the web.
I am guessing it's because it is illegal in some places/gambling laws do not allow you to gamble without verification, e.t.c

Free VPN's usually suck. Plus they sometimes use your connection for other people. I suggest using a paid one, not going to advertise multiple companies on here but you can get a good, trustworthy one for around 10 dollars a month.

[marioantonini]

Australia have really absurde rules to gambling and betting sport.
I remember, to betfair, for bet to australian event (already the Formula 1 Australian gp) you get send more document (already a law letter) and accepts the rules of australian betting

[buyinbtc]

oh i did not even know that it is possible to restrict the website in some countries, i think the reason for that might be that the country does not allow not licensed casinos for players to play in

[badjacks99]

Damn, being from America I didn't realize some sites are starting to block access to their sites to American users. I was aware of a few but was mostly unaffected until I realize primedice has done the same. Ill have to check out the free vpn some folks are talking about.

Well PD's block to US visitors is not something new, but it has been doing so for many months. I remembered reading an announcement from Stunna in early 2015. Other than using VPN, Tor would do the job as well but the connection may likely be slow.

[Blawpaw]

It's restricted because some countries do not approve online gambling and as so they block these kind of sites.

[hua_hui]

It's restricted because some countries do not approve online gambling and as so they block these kind of sites.

and my country is one of them. they already have block most of the popular sites that accept our cc and now they also stepping up to block gambling sites that accept btc. i switch to btc is becuz of cheaper fees and harder to track, and yet it they r closing in.

[adaseb]

Yes its considered pretty bad to gamble if your country doesn't allow it. Somebody had their Coinbase account closed because they detected withdraws from a gambling site.

ya what you are telling is correct, some countrys restric some sites to be used by their country peoples as they think threat to the people, in arab country you cannot acces some site,  if you want you can use vpn service which will give you access to this sites.

same for my country, they already have restriction to some of the gambling sites like bet365 etc. they r now also starting to focus on digital currency too so i think it is just a matter of time. i think their mindset is, if you want to play, you either go to local casino to play. dont play online to leak the currency out.

[Rizky Aditya]

I also can't access it. Did they just ban my IP or can you just not access it in Australia. I really want to use it as a lot of people say it is the best gambling site. I will probably just use a VPN.

[Dannie]

I also can't access it. Did they just ban my IP or can you just not access it in Australia.

Here is a Primedice blog entry back in May 2015, and its title is "Primedice no Longer Accepting US & Australian Customers" http://blog.primedice.com/post/118750161507/primedice-no-longer-accepting-us-australian

A VPN will work, however be aware that it may be illegal to access these websites in your country; if I can recall correctly, Australia has different (stricter?) rules regarding both gambling online and offline

No way on earth is any bitcoin site going to get gambling license for a country like US.  I think bitcoin has to be recognised by gov as a currency in order for people to need a gambling license doesnt it.  Very confusing.

You can still play it using ip changer because it can generate your ip everytime you log in and log out and it is much safer to do some bet. But some sites you need to make account there to relog again just becareful when you find this kind of site. You need to directly withdraw all your money before you log out

[karakhan]

pd is down?

[AtheistAKASaneBrain]

pd is down?

It's working for me. To bypass the stupid country dependent regulations on website you don't even need to spend money on a VPN, just get TOR. You will have to enable javascript among other stuff which may compromise privacy, but without being paranoid it will be both safe enough and will do it's main job here which is trick the site into thinking you are from another country so you can bypass the restriction which is all due your IP being from a certain country.

Edit: Ok it actually seems to be down.. it's stuck in "loading".

[shanem]

Some countries banned gambling sites so you have to use VPN to access from those countries. It has something to do with the law of the countries and nothing to do with Primedice.
