[Oilacris]

Speaking of banned then it would be on this lists

Yes, there would be some exclusions which had been showed on OP, and government would be always have the power
on making rules and regulations and make out alterations on their likings thats why its would really be
very situational.

As far as I know, Indonesia is also a country in which gambling is illegal both offline and online gambling. Many people who play gambling offline are often imprisoned if they are caught and got arrested.
And so far, no legal casinos are here. Actually, we may find out illegal casinos both offline and online, but once the police notice and this is spread and most citizens know, they will cath the providers and gamblers.
Even gambling with cockfighting will be immediately raided if caught and gamblers will be arrested.

I would say this list of countries is incomplete because there are lot of other countries also prohibited the gambling for example China where most forms of gambling is illegal so people are moving to other countries to gamble and what about North Korea.

And many countries have some restrictions towards physical as well as online casino and for crypto casino there will be more regulations.

Why do they need to move to other countries to bet when there is Internet. Not necessarily only Internet there is tor and vpn.
It should be the same fare suffered by the people crypto is banned against.
One can comfortably bet from the comfort of their home without the involvement of a third party.
Or is there really something I am missing here?

Yes, VPN or Tor are a good choice to play at online casinos from countries and areas where gambling online is prohibited. However, it is important to choose highly reputable VPN services for this. It is also more risky than playing at offshore casinos. Although there are plenty of online casinos to choose from, some do not allow gambling from restricted locations, and KYC policies are also a concern in some of the top regulated and licensed casinos.

Am not sure if the list are accurate because As far as I know there are places in some of those countries that allows gambling to operate so maybe it depends in how and where we will stand?

but thanks for the sharing mate this is helpful for those who lives or planning to migrate on those countries that loves to gamble so they knew where to go with good deeds.

Yeah as I believe Indonesia is a Muslim country and we knew that Muslim beliefs that gambling must be prohibit , though I may stand to be corrected if there are Muslim brothers here that may clarify this .

While there are some grey areas, gambling is generally regarded as forbidden by most Islamic scholars. The Qur'an and many Hadiths make this clear. In the Qur'an, all games of chance are described as an "abomination devised by Satan" and gambling and alcohol drinks are mentioned together as destructive activities that destroy personal and family lives.

Well, Not everyone is comfortable using VPNs.

From personal experience I can say that when I try to use an online casino using VPN, the website takes a lot of time to load, the speed is very slow. It seems very disgusting to me.

I love listening to music while rolling in online casinos but when I go to use betting websites using VPN I can't use Youtube, Instagram, NetFlix in the background, very disgusting thing.

it is important to choose highly reputable VPN services for this.

You know, the stronger the VPN, the lower the speed. and the lower the security, cause every of your action is monitored by 3rd party service when you use VPN.

You may have experienced these issues as a result of using a free or low-budget VPN service. You won't face such problems when using premium VPN providers.

Sorry, but in my experience, that's not entirely true. Unless you're talking about free VPN services again, which I don't recommend.

[timerland]

In most of these countries, gambling simply comes back in another form.

E.g. in Japan, there is a ton of Pachinko parlors which pose as some sort of innocent gaming place but in reality is just another casino establishment.

This is why banning gambling is so pointless - you will simply have other forms of more inefficient forms of gambling happen in the country anyway.

Lol, whatever you use free VPN or highly costing VPN that doesn't matter,
You will find many online websites including NetFlix who doesn't allow you to use VPN anymore,
Do a little google you will get that properly.

Then I have to say, very ridiculous experience,
You know, VPN means Vartual Private Network, It is always controlled and monitored by a 3rd-party private service whatever is free or paid reputably.
Every traffic by your side they can monitor.

Although gambling is banned gambling is possible in all countries through VPN. Despite the many restrictions associated with online casinos, you can be sure that international operators are very reliable their games are tested for random results, so that all players can play under a level playing field and without stress. Reliable online operators only allow players worldwide based on their age and offer various self exclusion and betting restrictions among other socially responsible initiatives and gambling involves all types of gaming.

Using VPN while your country strictly prohibited gambling is like a double edge sword. You will enjoy playing but once you win big amount, Casino can use it against you by linking your account to multiple account since the IP that use on VPN is shared to all user that use same VPN. There's a chance that your life will be in danger if the authority detect your online gambling activities. It's better to play legally since most the country that has a strict law about gambling have an exception to let there citizen gamble in moderate way.

[ethereumhunter]

I think we have an experienced seeing not all casino is banned by our ISP, although our country prohibits gambling because I see that I can access some gambling sites without any restriction and without using VPN while gambling is in a grey or some people will say it is prohibited in my country. So I can still play gambling but carefully, just in case the government detects my activity for playing gambling but surely, I will not make them suspicious.

Afaik there are casinos in Cambodia built by the Chinese. I have visited the country twice before the pandemic and there were few casinos I have seen. Its often the Chinese that develops casino hotel business in Asia.  

Their government make sure their citizen only gambles outside mainland so Macau is one artificially excempted by the gambling laws.

what you say is true, i've traveled to vietnam, myanmar and cambodia, in those three countries i see quite a lot of casinos and massage places that are open freely.  as for the gambling business that was there, i also don't really know whether it's local residents who manage it or foreigners ^(china) who manage it, but there are quite a few scattered there.

[Accardo]

japan? Seriously, are casinos illegal in japan? Why is a country that seems to me like a country of more open-minded people against gambling?

I can't understand this.

Conclusion:It's fascinating how some countries completely declaring gambling as illegal while implementing some amendments just to still sneak gambling in there country for there own personal gains reason. Learning different countries gambling laws make me realize that govenment can't totally suppress gambling activities. There's still a lot of people playing online gambling despite the danger involves by doing it.

That's something you can't avoid. Why? Because gambling involves a lot of money. That the same goes with alcohol and cigarette. Government knew about the danger of this vices but still they allow it while putting a campaign advertisement about the danger of such abusive act of alcohol and cigarette. That's how ironic it is.
Some countries are seizing illegal gambling. Illegal in a sense that they didn't secure documents to legalize their gambling business. Again, that's something an official's personal gain.

a little off topic in the case of alcohol governments only limit themselves to advertising the dangers of alcohol but they do nothing else, the companies that manufacture alcohol are getting richer and the number of people addicted to alcohol only increases

Well the Japanese government has a reason for making few gambling games legal in their country. Not that their citizens don't have the right to decide what works for them but, the fact that they are not fully knowledgeable about how gambling works, once gambling gets legalized in their nation they will get addicted to it easily, something the government is avoiding at every cost. But, they are doing something to amend such laws so that tourists would see more reasons to visit the country.

Okay dude, whatever. I don’t have to google it because I have my own experience, so it’s obvious you’re talking from your ass.
Look, I don't want to engage you in a debate since this isn't the appropriate thread for that, but I can only point out that you are deeply mistaken. I don't know where you live and what kind of connection you have, but I can assure you that Netflix and other streaming services are working just fine with my VPN. 

it is important to choose highly reputable VPN services for this.

You know, the stronger the VPN, the lower the speed. and the lower the security, cause every of your action is monitored by 3rd party service when you use VPN.

Once again, no. Do a little research.

Also, did you know that you can also make your own VPN server? Obviously not. Because otherwise you wouldn't write such nonsense.

[Cling18]

Gamblers here in the Philippines because we could gamble and bet freely in all types of legal games. Maybe that's the reason why people from other countries where gambling is prohibited visit our local casino to play. As for me, casinos have a benefit in each country's economic situation too but I understand why other countries have lots of restrictions.

[coin-investor]

Your List is not complete there are a lot of countries that partially ban gambling, of course, communist and Muslim countries do not allow gambling, I would like to add these countries that ban gambling but even if gambling is prohibited in some countries some operators have find a way to create an underground gambling or online using VPN.

This is my additional in the list.
Lebanon / Syria / Qatar / Poland / Cuba / Vietnam / Cambodia

[pinggoki]

The funny thing about this is that gambling is only illegal if the state doesn't own it, I mean a desolate North Korea still has casinos because they know how big of a money maker it is so they make sure that they're taking a big piece of that gambling pie. UAE if I recall has lotteries so this just goes to show that it's only illegal for certain number of people and the ruling class will decide if it's applicable to them or not.

Though there are still certain games that are not allowed in our country specifically in barangays wherein there are official who sometimes roll to see whether there are gamblers playing like some cards game, what good is when in online we can use any casino without worries since the country is not too strict in online gambling or use of internet.

That's true because of the pandemic many bettors of cock fighting are doing it online, these local-based gambling operators very well know that locals will always find a way to play their favorite gambling which is cock fighting so they set up one online and they called it online sabong or online cockfighting, so gamblers are going online it's conveniently easy to deposit and there is no time limit, no wonder many people lose a lot of money and livelihood because of nonstop playing online.
