[bitterguy28]

Very informative Topic and will save time and money of gamblers from around the world if this Thread cross their attention.

because of restrictions some gamblers has an issue in withdrawal or even depositing as their country is banned in certain Sites or certain games.

With this Thread at least they can check the availabilities and prevent engaging in sites that has issue in their places.

Thanks for this OP will always check this for updates .

I wonder why the UK and USA are restricted to using the casino's site. But they can still access the websites by using the proxy/VPN. Here's in my country most casino websites are banned. Our government is against the casino due to some reason, but I still can bet on a different website. I don't see its a big problem it can easily be solved with some tricks

[Pmalek]

so the thing that I am doing is using the VPN but so I can try some other games.

I don't see its a big problem it can easily be solved with some tricks

You guys don't seem to understand the issue here so I will repeat it again. If your country is restricted from a certain casino or the majority of them, there is a reason for that. You can ask the casino support why that is, turn to the game developers for advice, ask your government or local gambling commission about it or google it. That doesn't mean that you should try and find tricks and other way to plot your way inside a casino. You are putting your hands in the fire, eventually you will get burned and start complaining.

In case online gambling is banned in your country, then you should be very careful while placing your bets. It may be possible for you to deposit funds, and to play casino games. But when you try to withdraw the winning amount, there is a good chance that the casino would reject your request, citing the ban on online gambling in your country. Not all the gambling sites follow this method, but there are some who are infamous for creating issues like this.

At Bitsler I get sometimes normal access to the site here in the Netherlands. Normally I get the message that my country is blocked but sometimes not and then I can just play without using a VPN. I will try to find out when it happens. Maybe you need to take some steps to bypass the block.

Bitsler doesn't support players based in The Netherlands according to what is written in their TOS. I have tested the site with an IP from The Netherlands and there is a notification that says you have been recognized from a non-supported country, or the site redirects you to a message that says you aren't allowed to play there. You can continue to cheat the system and risk whatever might be coming your way, or find a casino that doesn't restrict Dutch players.

I'm curious why they ban these countries, which would benefit their business in revenue, and USA has a large volume of high rollers gambler's.

Because those Countries Regulation is against the specific gambling site,their Laws will conflict of Interest of those said Nation so rather than Having trouble they are banning them so to prevent further issue though there are Hard headed gamblers that Using VPN or other way to prevent the banning and in the end their account will be freeezed because of using VPN and who is the loser?of course gamblers always.

But its alarming how must of the popular gambling sites allows deposit but doesn't let withdrawal of users funds. They should be considered as red flag in the community.

This is the continuation of what i am saying above,That using VPN and Multiple account is mostly the given reason of the Site while Many of these case proven that the Said gambling site are only trying to Keep the funds.

Well as a gambling site they wanted to accommodate every gamblers in the world because that is what gambling operators want ,the more they gather players the more money they can bag,but the problem is Laws regarding gambling that they need to obey or else they will suffer and Business will be stop.

carlisle1 and bitterguy28 responded to you regarding this issue already, so I am not going to repeat what they already said. Furthermore, it is not just the casinos who ban certain countries and jurisdictions. Many game providers have restrictions and ban certain countries themselves. So if a casino wants to include their games on its platform, they have no other choice but to respect those limitations and geo restrictions. On top of that, gaming licenses require strict controls and have their own bans as well.

Because they will choose to ban certain country or games than their business will be at stake, each operation needs rules to follow for them to continue operational and this is what those casino tend to do.
So if there is a Casino offering games in countries in which prohibits that game then make a choice because those are mostly shill casinos and will surely give you problem once you win big and need withdrawals because they will use these issue to ban your account or locked .
so be cautious about each gambling site we will be betting because many are here to scam people.

Is there a reason why crypto.games is not considered for this list? AFAIK they allow users to play mostly from anywhere in the world (do not know about sign ups though) but they deny depositing from restricted jurisdictions. Maybe you want to add that to the list  

[Pmalek]

@acquafredda
I select the sites randomly. I just didn't come across them when I performed the tests in rounds 1-4. Many sites are missing, and I haven't performed a new round of testing since October. I am focusing on some other things now, but I will come back to this again.

Any other sites I should check?

maybe they have changed now and updated thier list of restricted countries because @pmalek came up with a long list of countries that are not allowed to play on cryptogames .

 im lucky that my county are not in the list because im also a fan of this site but those that are on the list are unlucky .
 most countries that they restrict are rich countries , its a waste of profit for them .

I see and that is indeed a very huge list! After they implemented KYC and got a license they started playing safe by restricting many more countries (allowed elsewhere) and even blocking deposits from these countries. What I do not understand is how they do that and others do not considering they have the same license (Curaçao).

*I live in a Southeast Asian country, there are few crypto gambling sites that are banned in my country...
from several crypto gambling sites that I have tried, I have to use VPN for sportbet.io, bitcasino.io, and 777coin. although I don't visit the site very often, it is very annoying when there is a big event that I want to participate there.

[Pmalek]

What I do not understand is how they do that and others do not considering they have the same license (Curaçao).

According to some sources, citizens of these countries are restricted from playing at Curacao licensed casinos:

Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, France, The Netherlands, Saba, Statia, St. Maarten, Singapore, USA

The list however extends depending on the location the casino is registered in and what game providers it cooperates with. Countries where certain or all forms of online gambling is illegal are also restricted. For example:

Brunei, China, UAE, Lebanon, Poland, North Korea, Cambodia, Singapore, Japan, Qatar and Turkey.

Then you have to take into consideration that each gaming provider has its own list of restricted jurisdictions. It can turn into a huge administrative nightmare.

Are you aware that you are breaking their TOS and if they find out that you are using a VPN or gambling from a restricted jurisdiction they can take away your winnings and maybe the deposited funds as well? + you will probably have to undergo KYC, so you are losing your privacy in the process as well.

Excellent recap! Cannot merit you, but I will at some point. It is a nightmare for players really because I used to have such fun on the old bitcoin casinos (2012-4) where it was possible to play and just have fun (prices where low, and nobody would have thought that one day could have become a fortune).
I believed that p2p gambling and decentralized gambling platforms would have emerged at some point but this was not the case. Or, at least, I do not know such platforms.

[Bitcoinislife09]

I've tried to login into ROOBET.COM using the Singapore and USA server, it looks like it doesn't work as well it says "Sorry, Robert isn't available in your region Due to our gaming license, we cannot accept players from your jurisdiction". I didn't know what is the problem or maybe it is in the VPN that is using the United Kingdom seems to work but I have some issues when it comes to loading the website but it doesn't say that it is not available but it doesn't load in the loading page of roobet, my internet connection seems to be fine.

As Pmalek pointed out above, you are taking a big risk by using VPN to play on sites that prohibit you from playing. I'm sure that almost all casinos keep logs and collect a database for each registered account. If you use IP addresses of different countries then at any time they can be interested in you and check your identity.

Our government is against the casino due to some reason, but I still can bet on a different website. I don't see its a big problem it can easily be solved with some tricks

But, those tricks will get you into trouble like Pmalek also mentioned because you will bypass some security for now although as soon as you win something big or anything happens like that you will be asked for your identity and then you are left with 2 options.

1- Fake your identity: This would mean you are digging a hole even deeper as they get a solid reason to ban and forfeit your winnings along with deposited amount.

2- Accept the mistake: Most of the times casinos will not give you any chance and just gobble up your money.

It is a lose-lose situation for a player and the tricks you are talking about, its not like you are telling something unique, even the underage kids now know about VPNs.
