Dealing with ISP block on Gambling websites

[Ultegra134]

Hello there,
I tried accessing TrustDice today, which is one of the first cryptocurrency casino's I've been introduced into, but it wouldn't load, claiming that "Connection is not private". I thought something was fishy at the moment, but quickly realized that it was actually blocked by my ISP.



How should I deal with such an issue? I certainly thought of using a VPN, but I only have a free one, meaning that it could easily be used by another person on the website simultaneously, which could potentially lead to a ban. Stake and Fortunejack are also banned, after making a few guesses, Roobet still works fine.

^ It should be on your country's jurisdiction towards gambling casinos, those internet providers also follows government jurisdiction so if gambling is prohibited in your place, there is no way to access gambling casino, not unless you will use a VPN which is not a good decision to me. 
The site that you talking about is working fine with me, I can able to access it and I think, your country did it that is why you can't access that site.
VPN? No, this is very risky and it could be your fund trap on the site when your account will freeze due to the VPN you have used or read the ToS carefully.
If I were you, find a gambling casino that did not restrict in your place.

There are sites that do allow multiple accounts which means having VPN use wouldnt be an issue but rather the issue would be sticking into laws and regulation which you might be get caught.

VPN would be the key when it comes on having those kind of restriction.Whether your ISP or the site itself would impose such block then you can opt in on using it but of course
you arent that dumb on not to notice out on what are the risk behind those decisions.So its up to your own choice yet there are lots of sites or casinos which we can choose up
to make use but if you do pursue on accessing it then its your choice.

You already know the risk, so it's up to you now if you will take that risk.

Using VPN to bypass the restriction could be called cheating, so once the site knows that is what you are doing, then they can always implement a ban on your account and worse is you'll not be able to withdraw your funds, so just carefully evaluate the risk, if you can take it, then go and enjoy using VPN.

That's very simple, once your ISP is blocked, you are not allowed to gamble due to legal restrictions.

Now, the solution is very simple, you use VPN to change your IP and that will give you access to enjoy the gambling site.
Some sites would okay that, but some will see it as a form of cheating since the word "bypass" is cheating for them, so I agree with the poster above, you know the risk, it's up to you if you are willing to take the risk of getting banned later.

[Ultegra134]

As others have mentioned, it's blocked due to my country's legal legislation, which sucks. There's not much to do at this point but to take the risk and use a VPN. In the worst case scenario, I'll get banned and lose any funds I have on the account, fortunately it's only a little. I don't see any other possible way to get around the block.

You have been warned. Once you have issues to the casino while your ISP added the casino in thier blacklist, you will find it hard to claim since you are from a blacklisted country.

The ISP seemvery  particular in banning casinos, when I tried visiting trustdice today, it asked me to solve captcha. Does that mean the casino is flagged or compromised?

I've been warned, but what else can I do? I'm not going to deposit any money of course, and only resort to use my existing balance, but there's no other choice, thus, I'm willing to take the risk, what else could I possibly do?

Regarding your issue, I don't think the casino has been flagged, it's probably just a security check to tackle spam.

Are you live in restricted countries of these casinos? if yes then you should give up and looking to other casino.

If you not come from restricted countries, then you can check on their TOS whether they allow VPN or not. If you doubt, you can ask on their thread about your case, obviously they will help you.

Stake do have mirror link, so you can avoid of getting ISP block https://stakemirror.com/

I think all big casinos should have mirror link to prevent from this issues, it's just funny government ban gambling site while the country is legal to gambling.

[ralle14]

There's no way around your issue aside from using a VPN or if you're down to make the effort of going to another country just to bypass the restriction.

If you're willing to go and take the risk with the VPN then you just have to hope that they're lenient when it comes to their rules like Stake since they could easily bring it up and flag your account.

This is a good solution but it's unlikely for trustdice to have a mirror unless they're popular enough to have thousands of regular players from different countries.

Supposedly, Gaming Commission in Greece blocks unauthorized gambling services, not gambling all-together. However, I remember quite a few casinos being blocked in the past. Although, those that involved cryptocurrency weren't affected, till now I guess. The blocked site list, which is available online, now includes a wide range of crypto casinos, many of which can be found throughout this forum.

Have you tried changing the DNS on your device to something else? Sometimes it can solve the problem of being blocked by your ISP but I don't know what will happen to your account at that ISP.

Using a VPN can be done but before you use a VPN, you better ask each casino you want to play at first because the policies of each casino are different. To use a VPN, I recommend using a premium VPN because it can provide many IPs that you can choose from. But to be on the safe side, you don't need to visit the casino if your ISP is blocking your connection there.

Try using it this way, I also initially couldn't load Fortunejack but after using it it can be reopened without a VPN.

Usually, casinos allow using a VPN as long as it doesn't become an abuse and it's better to use a premium VPN instead of a free one, but it's better to ask first, but if you don't want to risk too much, another casino might be an alternative.

Knowingly that you've been warned from a gambling website and is still willing to take risk, then the next possible move to use VPN to access the website and continue playing. Also, it is rare to encounter an issue where another users will be using the same IP with free VPN. However, using free VPN will make your account more suspicious as you will have different IP every time you use it. So you should be prepared when asked for a KYC check or any possible instance where you might be caught by the website.

Anyways, Casinos asking you to solve captcha doesn't necessarily mean anything other than avoiding spam and possibly use of bots.

Sorry but it looks like your country is banned from that gambling site.

There's no other way but to bypass that restriction, however, you need to understand that you are violating the TOS, and if they found out you are violating, as per their rule, they can ban your account and freeze your assets. Now, if you are okay with that, then you should not worry about using VPN.

VPN is for privacy, but you are using it to bypass restrictions, which is not allowed per TOS.

[noorman0]

You can avoid being blocked by changing ISPs, or playing at alternative casinos until eventually your ISP filters all the casino sites.

Some casinos have actually studied the gambling rules in their biggest customer countries and they still tolerate the use of VPNs to keep reaching customers from sites blocking countries. What you need to worry about using a VPN is that if the casino company blocks your country, you may not be able to recover the locked funds.

The ban isn't issued by the gambling platform. His internet service provider is restricting OPs access to the site.

This is what I would do.
Contact the support, preferably via email so you are left with written proof. Explain to them that your ISP is blocking access to their site. Ask them if players from your country are allowed to gamble on their casino. Ensure that you read their TOS as well just to be safe that there are no territorial restrictions where you live. Ask them if you are allowed to use a VPN to bypass your ISPs restriction. If they say you can, great. If not, find another casino and do the same.

You can of course disregard everything I have said and just gamble with a VPN, but you could then get into the kind of trouble you mentioned yourself where you are accused of multi-accounting, etc. Save the email from support as proof they allowed you to use VPN (if that indeed happens), so you can show it to them if they limit or ban your account due to VPN usage.

Switch ISP's or if it's a country-wide ban, switch countries use VPN but know the risks of using it first and foremost. Not to mention that when they ask KYC details about you and you were found using VPN, they might just revoke your account since afaik, the casino also has an official list of countries that have banned them so technically avoiding that ban also is against them (or their TOS, not really sure which or how to call it). Maybe double-check with your ISP first, it may have been just a connection error that was linked to that page, who knows, bugs could happen.

Gambling sites blocked by ISPs is a very common thing in my country because gambling is illegal in my country.
There is no other way to avoid this except by changing our own IP with VPN or by using mirror link of the casino (if any).
Using free VPN is not recommended, it is better if you buy the premium one, I dont think it is that expensive so I believe it is not a big deal for any gambler because what they spend in gambling is absolutely bigger than what they need to pay for VPN.

It should be issue with your country’s laws.
I mean your country have imposed some specific laws to access the sites.
And for this reason, your ISP might have strict orders to block the web sites that violates the law.
An alternate option for this is to change your ISP if you are eagerly want to play on the site.
Moreover don’t use any type of VPN(paid), as many sites ban accounts if they play through VPNs.
Moreover you can still playing in sites that is accessible through your ISP.
