Regulations in online Gambling sites

[Distinctin]

I also think that online gambling sites should be regulated by each country, so let be
more effective and efficient. Because every country has a different policy, so regarding the rules of gambling also different.

Yep, every country should have their own policy reagrading gambling. We cannot expect that all countries in the world to apply the same policy.

So if you are a gambler, make sure that you are familiar with your country's regulations when it comes to online gambling. Otherwise, you will be screwed and potentially lose your funds by honest mistake. Every country has their own set of rules, so just respect whatever they have to avoid facing problems.

I don't think we need to since this is just for UK.

Another thing is that they regulate this law because of the problem that they have in gambling. Since we are still affected by the pandemic, most of the online sites we are using are from the other countries so I think the regulation of those sites will be held by that country and not ours. Still, those gamblers are still a few and so I don't think we will be having that kind of regulation any time soon.

This is a unique regulation so I am not expecting it will also happen in our country.

Gambling is illegal in our country but we can gamble online using crypto, I just don't know the consequences if we ever get caught as I have never seen anyone who got punished yet for doing it. I'd like to assume that crypt gambling regulation in our country is not that strong compared to other countries where they are already taking this matter seriously.

They can do that if they want but in their own country only, it will be difficult  for them to follow others countries rules Because they are not covered by others countries laws not unless they are running it there .

The proposal is for the UK so if you're not from there no need to worry, true to that, that there's a different rules and regulations is applicable within your country. Each country has different perspective towards online gambling so if you're not aware of the rules in your country and you have gambled without knowing it, you're not an exemption.

The regulation doesn't have somethig to do with losing your finds. Regulated or not, if you're a reckless gambler, you can still lose all of your funds if you have no control to yourself.

Usually, when people know about their country's regulations, they will not use their real IP when they visit the online gambling site. They prefer to use private VPN to play gambling because that can hide their real IP from the ISP's tracking. But some people still use their real IP to playing gambling, and so far, there is no tracking from the ISP. But the ISP still monitor them, just in case if they are using the internet connection just to play online gambling.

But I think it will difficult to regulate online gambling sites because the sites will choose to open their business in the country, which allows gambling, and they will not have a problem with the user that comes from many countries.

Your ISPs always monitoring you, even if they say they're not. Their software and hardware can do nothing but track you, it's up to the ISP whether or not they keep this information, and whether the law requires them to or not (and they do, they like being on the good side of enforcement). Think it's only Switzerland that has enough privacy laws to not require ISPs to track you.

It's up to us to protect our privacy in the end.

Can our ISP still do that even if we are using VPN to mask our real IP address? I mean, can they know that we are accessing the gambling sites? It would be helpful to me if I get the right answer as I have friends that has an static IP who gambled without using VPN.

[BuNga_cute]

I am including those who support online gambling regulated by each country, so besides preventing fraud. Regarding the issue of users
under 18 years of age, prevention can be taken so that they cannot access online gambling sites. Although I am quite disappointed in
my country online gambling banned, but fortunately I can still access online gambling sites via VPN.

I guess not, those ISP can block some certain websites that are prohibited in this country so I guess they can't track on what platform you are using. Using a VPN, they can hide the IP and the platform you are using so it's safe to browse prohibited platforms.

Any ISP can't determine those contents on your internet when you are using VPN.

Yes, they will not tell us they track us, but if the government asked about the data, the ISP would give it for the investigate reason. The track will be given to the government if something bad happens, such as hacking, carding, or illegal activities. The government will track the IP that is connected to the victim, and if the government found the target because of using one ISP, they will ask the data.

But so far, I guess many people already visit on many websites, including porn and gambling, using their real IP or VPN, and the ISP is not doing something except blocking the connection to that sites.

I guess they can still track it. We can ask our ISP to know the real answer, but I think they will not tell you since that will be their secret, and they don't want the public to know about that. The ISP bond with the regulation from the government, and they need to obey the regulations.

I think the ISP of your friend knows about that, but they don't do anything because perhaps, your friends don't use too big money.

It would depend on your VPN, yes, but your ISP always tracks you the moment you connect, and not all VPNs are private enough or good enough that they can hide your trail. You've got to do a lot more than connect to a VPN these days (unless it's a good one). Every visit leaves an electronic breadcrumb.

Agree. 100 EUR is indeed a low limit especially to those who can afford to bet and lose as much. However, this is a nice idea for those who are addicted to gambling that are not really capable to lose such amount.

This regulation could somehow limit their money spending and will force them to bet on a certain amount without hurting their pockets. I think their state is just protecting their people from the harmful effects of gambling too much. If this was implemented rightfully, they can also implement another policy to those who can afford to bet higher than 100 EUR.

However, it can be a conflict if they would just stick to 100 EUR maximum bet for those household and individulas with higher income. Since this would somehow be a plain restriction without a sense at all, because they can afford it.

Again, this is a good move to eliminate and lessen people having gambling addiction, but it should have to be fair and not totally dictating and controlling. I hope they'll just base the maximum bet depending on the income of the gambler per month to be more logical.

The fact still remains that, if any country embark on online gambling sites regulations many gamblers will still ho into it through VPN. Most of my colleagues aren't up to the age of 18+ but yet still gamble with us, banning those teenagers can only work with traditional casinos and not online platforms. Taking the forum as an example age wise, many gamblers here aren't upto that age per se but yet still gamble online.

Conclusively, any government that get tax from traditional casinos will put mechanism in place to stop online gambling sites casinos because of their tax invasion.

This will still depend on the online casino.

Despite the different country your living, if you are playing at that online casino, you should follow and respect their regulations. Even if the country you are in doesn't have that regulation, if those casinos have, you still need to follow that and that also means having limitations and proving that you could also take those losses.

Every online gambling has internal rules that correspond to the regulations by which the online gambling country is passed, if those rules conflict with your country's rules then leaves and if following them means you are prepared to respect those rules and accept the consequences.

[Ayiranorea]

Very few gambling sites function fulfilling the norms and regulations created by the country. In most cases the gambling sites gets registered on the gambling free country, which makes the usage legal. In my country we've got slot Machines which are being placed on shops privately. At times police seize it, and once again the owner goes for a new one.

This is why some casinos are restricted from operating on all the countries since we do have law and regulation differences on each country which conflicts on some casino regulations that theeir country have been set. I'm lucky I'm living in a democrat country, we can enjoy our freedom here with some rules to obey and not be detained

100EUR/mo is really low, also if you are a true-blooded gambler, you already know by now how to get by on this rule. Cant really understand why the gov's want to limit gambling since the economy isnt in good standings right now.

I don't get the reason why it seems to be illegal to gamble, because if we have tons of money and we use our own IP while gambling, there's still nothing wrong with it. ISP's will not broadcast it anyway because of privacy reason. But the reason why I think most of the gambler who does this is because they want to hide to avoid paying taxes. Or maybe, they have funds that are't came from legal ways.

ISP's do actually store your browser history for about 90 days, just in case the government needs to see or monitor you.

I agree that not all Vpn providers adhere to what they promise for example they all say complete privacy but very few keep their promises.I have found a good one so far for Linux only and it is Riseup Vpn and it is completely free and from what I have seen looks like one who doesn’t hand out your private information.

[Wawa2013]

It seems the online gambling regulations contained in the opening post only for UK countries, if it's like that I feel relieved
that I don't have to follow these rules. Each country has its own policies regarding online gambling, but based on the information
I get. There are so many countries that have banned online gambling, including the country where I live. But fortunately it still can
accessed using a VPN.

While you are correct the problem is that many countries look at the regulations passed in other jurisdictions and then they imitate them, so it is entirely possible that this law will be passed in several countries after this and this really bothers me because how can governments pass this kind of laws when there is no study that demonstrates that what they are trying to do will be effective in making people to drop the time and money that they use in their gambling activities.
