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.
It is more risky when you play online, I agree with you. Besides, everything online is just risky and as we manage others, we can learn to manage casino aswell.
The reputability of VPN services should be a great concern because some are just pure disaster. The issue of kyc to me is not that important because many casino don't require kyc. Some are optional while some is just to check the age of the gamblers.
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.
I have never heard of this before, this world is so crooked that no where is safe again. I still believe that this allegation is far from reputable online casinos.
Infact, gambling itself is a risk, I shouldn't be surprised.

Its also happening in crypto, we see threads about it here after winning big, they are asked to send documents to prove KYC. If anything a casino finds out that you are located in a state where gambling is prohibitted, youre done.
So while you are at it, make sure they are not going to suspect you or allow yourself to win big. After just $5k, maybe stop and withdraw just your capital first.
For casinos, they should just remind gamblers everytime they log about their location and if their state illegalize gambling.
