Is there a possibility of a Country to ban access to Crypto games?

[dunfida]

Right now, Government of my country is in a process of trying to track players/account holders of a one crypto game to ask for tax because of fast and good earning rate, and I think it's not possible. So in my conclusion if they can't tracked players, is there a possibility of a country to ban this NFT game? I want to know everyone's opinion.

So a government bans a game simply because it can't be taxed, even if the game is good/safe?
Well, if the game is dependent on the government to function it'd probably be ok to tax it. Otherwise the best the government could do it to beg the users to contribute part of their earnings to society/government.

For physical casinos that do operates nor resides on the country then it could really be taxed but for online casinos then its really hard since people are the ones who had been accessing it and also it is operating on other

country and even if they would tend to block those sites via ISP demanding them to do so but still wont really be that enough to get rid with since people could easily make use of VPN if they wanted to which means

it is somewhat residing on being impossible on totally get ridding of it but at least you do know that your'e government is against with it.

I have always said one thing, if a government prohibits an activity, its population will always try to access it by whatever means, there are many people who are very irreverent before these types of absurd rules, this not to mention that many have paid VPNs, which They are very useful, it is an almost useless effort that the government manages to catch these people, I think the prisons would be small, at least in my country the government knows that it is impossible to do it, because they do not have the technical capacity or the energy to do it, they are people who are very aware of stealing more and more every day, I think that a government cannot always tell you what to do, I think it is excellent that people ignore these warnings and continue playing, not everything can be a dictatorship.

If the blockchain gaming platform is a decentralized organization, then there is no way the government can put a ban on it. The only way they can ban it is by banning everyone all around the world that helps run the network which is almost impossible (unless they whole government of the world decides to unite and impose the ban). On other hand, if it is some centralized entity that runs the network, then the government can easily impose a ban and restrict that entity from offering services to their country. In other words, governments can't do shit to a decentralized network.

I think government will only can block access to the game. Like when they block access to illegal site or maybe porn site. To close site that to be NFT games, i think they can't. Or maybe only can made it is illegal so any money that sourced from crypto they can track it like what your government do, and P2P can be temporary solution for it.

Depending on the government system of each country, how to respond to the existence of crypto and all types of activities related to crypto, which is clear is that they will think more about the progress of the country and consider whether there are risks or negative things that will be obtained from crypto.
About banning access to crypto games completely, I think that's a slim possibility.

It would really be hard for the government to ban a decentralized gaming platform.
I believe the OP is talking about Axie Infinity as the PH government is said to tax those gamers on their earnings.
But how? Can they track all those players or are all players willing to submit their data to the government and let the government impose tax on their income?
I also don't know how this will work out. That's the perks of being decentralized platform.
Curious how the government will implement tax regulation on these players?

make use of VPN if they wanted to

Could you possibly write a longer sentence? 

I assume that casinos could block people who try to access their services if they're using a VPN, as Amazon and lots of other companies do it, and if a casino were to put in their ToS that VPNs aren't allowed, then you'd be screwed if you used one and ended up winning a ton of money.  They could easily block your withdrawal.

As far as decentralized casinos, do they exist yet?  I'm not a gambler (and currently US residents aren't allowed to gamble online, though I think that's changing), so I don't keep up with what's available.  If they are in fact around, I don't see how any government could regulate them.  They could declare them illegal--just like they could declare bitcoin ownership illegal--but that doesn't mean they can stop people from using them.  Assuming governments are at least semi-rational, their best move would be to try to work with the casinos to tax members, but good luck with that!  Viva la P2P!

Clearly it's possible for any Government to ban the game and block the access because they have all things which are helpful for this and if game provider is register then they can revoke their licences as well.

And if the game provider is not legal, then they can declare this illegal. But, there are many issues for Government as well because they are still unable to track all players and their data how they will manage them for bringing in tax net and how is this possible they will bring them in regulations.
