Dealing with ISP block on Gambling websites

[Ultegra134]

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.

The point to note is that here the ISP is blocking the gambling sites and there is no issue from the gambling sites blocking  your country. In this case , I think the gambling site will have no objection and your ISP won't be able to find you are accessing the gambling sites. Just make sure the VPN connecting location should not be any country which the gambling site has restricted.

You shouldn't count on the good will of casinos. If you lose your money at them they will stay friendly and warm with you but if you win money, you won't be welcomed anymore and they won't tolerate this kind of thing anymore. Then as Maslate said, it's risky.
The better and easier solution is to simply change your DNS server in your configuration. You can use the one of Google (8.8.8., or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) for example.

How To Access Sportsbet.io or any kind of gambling without VPN

Was way too busy the past few days and haven't been able to contact them yet, I'll make sure to report back when I do and receive their response. Thank you for all your replies, I'll make sure to try changing the DNS settings or Cloudfare before doing.

I didn't have much money on the account, thus I don't really care if I end up losing it, but it'd suck a little.

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.

Many thanks! Just tried it and works like a charm, no need to contact them nor use a VPN and risk losing my funds. A quick question though, does using Cloudflare DNS affect anything else? I hadn't heard of it as an option before, so it's all new to me.

Thanks in advance

The lesson is be rich enough to take a private plane or ship into international waters for your gambling needs, then you are legal.   Lots of things are quite unfair if you dont have money, I wouldnt worry too much about your gambling usage just dont hold too much at once is probably the solution I guess but mostly you should not be hassled in any more moderate solution.

I'm not planning to hold a large balance because technically, I'm still accessing the website from a restricted country, thus breaking their TOS, not sure how applicable this is after using Cloudflare's DNS though, but generally, I'd rather be cautious. However, my question is, does TrustDice or any other website still see my actual IP address, knowing that I'm bypassing my country's block?

If you are masking your real IP, they will not be able to see it, but there's a risk that's why you should be ready on the sanction since you knowingly access the stie even if your country are ban from accessing it. Sometimes, we just have to find a way to enjoy even if it's not allowed, but we should be responsible enough to accept the consequences.

Sad to say but gamblers from gambling-restricted countries will surely have trouble and yes, the only option might you have is to play in a nonrestricted country which will cost you a lot. Most gambling sites also don't allow the use of VPN since it's against their TOS. Another option that you can try is to reach out for help from the Casino.

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.

Read the TOS or any documents that could help you regarding this matter, you may try to use VPN, a paid one or not as long as the website will not prohibit its player for using the VPN, also try to check your blocklist option in your browser as well, I am not sure but just try to search blocklist and whitelist option in your router and also in which device you are currently using right now.

It is better to avoid keeping a large balance in your gambling account to avoid things that we do not want. I don't think changing DNS should get you into trouble but it's a good idea to consult with each casino so you know if changing DNS is allowed or if it's a violation of their rules. It needs to be done to avoid violating the rules they have. I guess the casino will still be able to see your IP address even if you change DNS and they will gradually figure out which country you are from.

That's crazy. If he have that much money, he can just secretly make a deal with his ISP to give him some exemption in exchange for good amount of money or he won't play gambling at all if his only goal is to make some money since he is already wealthy. Sometimes it's not about the money because there are people or company that values their reputation first and won't accept any forms of kickbacks.

The OP's usage in terms of gambling is going to get lesser this time because his ISP is starting to restrict gambling websites. It sucks if you're attached to gambling already but it can be beneficial to prevent you from losing further or to become addicted to it.

Easy to say but reaching out with your ISP isnt something simple that you could deal with.Its a big company and you cant really just make out dealings on having exemptions and come to note that this wont involve

small money just for you to make yourself crossed out on banned or restricted and since they are regulated by the government then its understandable that they would go in line on what government

do set out rules and as a big business they couldnt make out such request or trying out to oppose because that would really be surely be a big problem once they get caught for some violation.

He can do the latter.

Asking if it's okay to use a VPN for accessing that casino will make him comfortable using a VPN. He's going to get a clarity before he do something that might be against to the casino if he hasn't seen it on the TOS.

Yeah, majority won't allow it.

But I've seen some that would be totally okay with it as long as there's no other activity that's been found on their account aside from using a VPN just to access and gamble.

[qwertyup23]

With laws being implemented to combat gambling addiction, it is but necessary for the government of some countries to create laws restricting such access. I really do think that your case is an example of such. While you were able to access the gambling website before, your country has acted upon such to limit/restrict your access on it.

Since this is the case on your end, I recommend trying some other gambling websites as a lot has been circulating nowadays. Though it sucks to lose access to the gambling website you have been accustomed using with, such is not the end of the world as it can easily be remedied.

Even paid VPNs are questionable to use on gambling sites, it's a high risk to take that could probably lead to your account being blocked and the loss of funds you might have or win on these sites.
I know it's very bad when our favorite betting site is blocked, but au would still recommend you to bet on another site that is not blocked... there are many good and reliable gambling sites.
Have you tried checking if Duelbits is accessing?

DNS doesn't hide your IP address, it's just changing your server only. Does you're live in the location where Trustdice ban it? changing DNS doesn't help you to play in they site, but you're just able to access their site only. I believe there's no problem when you create an account, deposit and play the games. Until you wanted to withdraw, the casino will flag your account and ask your KYC, you will loss anything.

Casino games or those that are not legal in a country (website) do tend to be protected by either the ISP or other hosting provider services. Premium VPNs can sometimes be an alternative but so far in my country accessing the site without 3rd party services can be accessed. ISP what do you use friends? is it clodflare? or you can try 1 by 1, the tutorial will be quite complete on youtube.

I understand your passion for games, gambling and fun things.
should be able to deal with it without prolonged obstacles.
Behind the difficulty, the private connection is actually to protect its customers.

If so, I would not risk keeping playing on that site because one day, I could get into trouble, especially if I could win a lot of money from that site. They will investigate my account before I can withdraw my winnings and in the end, they will find out that I am from a country that is banned from playing on that site. I'm sure some casinos will allow you to gamble even if you don't use a VPN or don't change your DNS.

If he wants to use free VPN, he should check the terms about multi accounts because free VPN may use the same IP for many users.
If multi accounts is something againts the casino rules, it is wiser for him to avoid free VPN as his account might be linked to other accounts that use the same free VPN.
ISP block is annoying ofc, nothing we can do about it since it is all about the regulation/law and changing IP by VPN is the only way we can do to solve this ISP block.

You are right, and in general I am surprised by such topics because the use of VPN on the modern Internet is a necessary thing in almost any country (I think in any but I have not checked all  ).
And I advise to use a paid VPN because the free ones provide a bad connection, you cannot be sure of their reliability and their IP address ranges are known to those who ban VPN users, so this is an additional risk of getting banned.

[Samrean]

I'm not going to deposit any money of course, and only resort to use my existing balance

Easy: get a VPN. Mullvad.net (currently my favourite) accepts crypto payments at any amount, you can literally pay a few cents for only a few hours.

I only see that minimum payment is for month ? Do they offer services on hourly basis also ?

[LUCKMCFLY]

Know the rules of your country with regard to online gambling. It's them that have given the ISPs in your country the command of restricting the citizens. There's no other way of dealing with it but through using a VPN. There are cheap VPNs that you can rely on and much better if you don't depend on the free ones. And before using one, ask your chosen casino if they're okay with the use of a VPN so that you won't be surprised if ever they ask you a sudden KYC because of that particular rule. You can go through them on their ANN threads.

You're right, the solution to this is to have a good VPN, I've seen a couple of casinos that accept the use of VPN, I don't see anything wrong with it if you play and don't cheat in any way, but it's true, some Sometimes there are players who start experimenting with the platforms using VPN and at the moment of making a withdrawal is when the problems begin and that is where those threads arise in Reputation, and then a very unpleasant time passes, both the casino and the person , the person wants to withdraw his funds, but if the casino does not allow the use of the VPN he is able to ban his account and block his funds.

While this is true and valid, if the VPN was used to access at restricted and prohibited regions by the gambling site, that will subject to violating the terms.

 The use of VPN should be fine as long as it was accessed at allowed regions. The use of VPN is already very common and it was allow by the gambling site at most of the cases as long as, as you have mentioned, not to cheat or do something unusual.

Privacy and anonymity is the only reason why we should used VPN and not the other way around which involves fraud-related schemes.
