Luckily, this is easy to bypass using just DNS other than ISP one. But we, bitcoiners, we want to use Bitcoin instead of fiat to gamble with.

This is good news for us, now polish gamblers will have to use other means to gamble online, and the best alternative is bitcoin, no doubt about that, anyone that is mildly informed about technology can devise a way to avoid those blocks, it seems governments don’t understand the day when they could control access to information are long gone but let them try.

What the government don't understand is that you can only stop an unwilling person the moment they stop people from playing outrightly, what they do is find alternative ways to make it happen and in this case, bitcoin comes handy where there are several sites that even what it being offered by their fiat counterparts even with much more anonymity. What they should have done is to make the environment difficult that its either going to be few gambling sites left or only few people while others stops willingly.

I guess Polish have no other route but go bitcoin. We all know that bitcoin is pseudo anonymous and no personal information is needed to be able to play. Or they can even use VPN services to play. I think bitcoin will boom in Poland, but I don't know if government will need to regulate it or even embraced it. I hope the Polish government is very open regarding bitcoin used.

If the government is open to bitcoin, then it's a good news for the countrymen as well the people around the globe who are all using bitcoin. Now they have blocked gambling sites functioning with fiat, so in similar way they too might oppose bitcoin used gambling websites too. I think government is with plans of vanishing the entire gambling industry from the country.

FanDuel, DraftKings and similar fantasy sports websites are illegal in some US states. There has also been a push in the US to crackdown on poker and sports betting online. I think most of that comes from Las Vegas casinos who desire a monopoly over the gambling/sports betting industry flexing their political influence to get it.

Europe, asia and the rest of the world tend to be more permissive.

Not certain on the motivation behind Poland blocking fiat sites. It could be a de-dollarization strategy. Preventive measures to protect their economy against a potential fiat crash.

CS:GO gambling sites are other choice. See http://izicase.pl. They can do bank deposit at IZIcase and open CS:GO cases. IZIcase is really popular in Poland.

Hahaha this was about time and it was about to happen nothing surprising in this, Fiat is running out of its utility, Bitcoin is the only currency worth having and fiat is banned, cause it's easy to trace with and someone must have reported of some illegal activity and this shall only boost Bitcoins. It's in fact good for Bitcoins.

The keyword is blocking illegal gambling sites. As long as they comply to regulations there is nothing wrong.

Next step is them hunting down bitcoin gambling sites.

[BitcoinSupremo]

If 49% of the population plays gambling a certain block of all illegal fiat gambling websites will not work. Even if only 3-5% of these gamblers knows how to bypass this limit from the government through TOR and VPN-s, pretty soon all the remaining population will start using these tools. And as far as I know TOR cannot be blocked.

All the big governments in the world are fighting hard to block or discredit bitcoin and they are not succeeding at it. Do you think that they can shut down bitcoin gambling sites ? I don't think they can. Many people already know how to bypass limitation by governments.

Why just block they should have shut them down as vpn still works for most of the blocked sites. But the part i noticed here was they blocked fiat gambling site which means it opens up the door for bitcoin to shine more as it would allow people to gamble and even hide them from their government

It's not that easy to shut a site down. We are talking about sites that usually don't use local servers, but are hosted abroad. They'd have to formally complain to their ISP, but that still wouldn't shut them down as they can get a new ISP. It's fighting windmills so they chose the easiest way.

blocked 1 sites but appeared 2 new gambling sites i think Poland government have to working more hard because gambling as the hobbies of many people although it's illegal but most people will not care and still want to figure out and visiting gambling sites and playing at there

The problems becomes if you are making a bit of money from the site then there is a possibility that they could hold your funds and never pay you citing that you are not allowed to gamble from that particular country and i have seen sites pulling these kind of things to the players ,so i would think twice how they will be solving the issues if the case arises and then make my move to gamble with that site.

Trusted sites dealing with Crypto-Currency won't steal its users (at least there are a big chance they won't), if you worry about it you can just withdraw the money everytime you gamble. Much better to gamble online with Crypto-Currency only.

It's not a surprise a country blocks illegal fiat gambling sites. They send people who gamble with fiat online to the jail too in some countries, they can track it very easily by the credit card.

 Exactly, there are always ways around some of the stringent laws these governments pass and I know vpn will definitely bypass their government firewalls. Instead of these fiat gambling websites I will advice that people that find themselves in this situation should rather use cryptocurrency gambling websites because these kinds are not censored by the governments.

Primedice need to translate their site to Polish. Or I will open this one dice game.
I already opened but it failed since I used Betbase.io API. No one gambles on these pseudo-gambling websites.
