[TraderETH]

The newly elected President Rodrigo Duterte wants to stop the online gambling here in the Philippines. Its because they cannot collect tax from it and they don't want people to become addicted to it. What is your side ?

I think it will not become problem during using bitcoin doesn't be banned because we can stay play gambling with bitcoin as betting, although using bitcoin be banned. We still can use vpn and tor.

This is limited only to those who are into online casino business, like a computer shop but instead of renting the computer, you are there to play. This will not affect online casino games that we have here unless the President will instruct telco's to block those kind of sites all over the country so no one can open it.

Bitcoin online gambling cannot be ban because bitcoin are not regulated so we are free to gamble anytime we want. Do not worry guys, the happiness will continue.

Think of it, they also cannot collect tax from using bitcoin. The matter is that maybe the government don’t want us to become addicted in gambling, there are already many casinos in Philippines and they don’t want to increase it anymore through online.

I don't think there is a mere possibility that this could happen, people mainly uses gambling not only for their own basic needs or wants, it also plays a big part in the economy, and if online gambling will be banned, then I think the Philippines will be having big problems here, especially for a third world country, gambling plays a big part whether it is online or not, bitcoin or fiat, it is still heavily relied on.

I think people could still be able to use crypto casinos using VPN. This is indeed a sad news for gamblers from philippines. Most of the casinos has large number of players from Philippines. In my country (India), gambling is illegal but, you can see many people are still gamble on online casinos.

Indeed people may use VPN but bear in mind that not all online gambling sites are allowing their players to use VPN. Once it is banned in your country, it is better to avoid it or try to find gambling sites that allows you to use VPN in case you really want to gamble. There is also a risk by using VPN especially free VPN as we can be suspected as multi accounts users if there are other people using the same free VPN/IP. We cant deny that most online gambling sites are very strict in this situation especially about multi accounts. So always be careful if you are going to use VPN.

This thread was two years old already, why you keep on bumping it. This has been discussed and if ever you want to continue this discussion it's pointless, IMHO.

That's right. I had this situation when I was using VPN. Admins thought I was using alt accounts and banned me from participating in promotional contests. When I asked for the reason they gave me the name of another account which had the same IP. Luckily, she was a popular player on that website and she used to stream on twitch and Admins removed the ban after one moderator vouch for her.

Well, at least it's interesting to note that despite Rodrigo Duterte's intentions to halt all online gambling in his country, online gambling is thriving in Philippines, two years later from the OP. I don't know anything about fairness of their online casinos, but there are many of them there, that's for sure. You can find out more from the links below:

I think they've figured out how to tax the business for the benefit of the country.

The main issue here on plans of banning online gambling has no linkage towards personal intentions. But the most certain about online gambling operators was, they don't paid regular taxes compared with physical gambling establishments. That's why the president was really angry about the previous adminstration's negligence on tax regulations for online gambling operations in the country. If it can be arranged thoroughly with the countries leaders, huge tax collections will be handed over for the country revenue; so no banning will happen unless these operators will comply what's need by the law regulations.

I also do not think that it is so easy to happen, as  online gambling is still not banned in such countries where gambling is already an illegal activities then how can it be possible in Philippine I do not think that they can become succeeded in banning online gambling.

While the Philippine Government issued a statement a few years ago that there will be a crackdown on online games and illegal online games, we still see online games in every city here in the Philippines. I don't think this will happen. They also need the cooperation of the telecommunications company to pull this off, one of the major internet provider in the Philippines claims that they will not allow access of porn sites like Pornhub but until today, we can still access the site with out using vpn.

President Rodrigo Duterte is a guy ( as i understand it, i can be wrong )  who want to protect his people form drugs, gaming and all other things that can make more problem in his country, the people in Philippine are already very poor ( majority of them )  so it make sense. However i believe it should be up to the people to decide what to do, but in this special case, i can understand it a bit.
