Legality of Online Gambling in Different Countries

[Solosanz]

The government ban the gambling to avoid of their people to get some loss.It mostly affect the small country,So they ban the gambling at first.UAEand North Korea was the developed countries which doesn’t allow their people to involve in the gambling both in online and offline mode.Most of the Islamic countries doesn’t allow their citizens to use the gambling.Because from their Islamic religion they started to create a law in their country.Brunei,Qatar are the well known country,where the gambling is strictly prohibited of gambling.Even the countries do this law,some people involve in online gambling by using the VPN to the gambling site.

Nope, the government ban gambling because of the religion and they're poor countries. Although UAE and North Korea are small countries, but UAE is rich and North Korea is a private country. Gambling should be only for the rich because poor people can't afford to lose their money and can't find entertainment during gambling.

Yeah they can access via VPN, but sooner or later the casino will ask KYC or terminate their account.

Yes, most Islamic countries do not allow gambling, but I think gambling is still underground because many people like to gamble. And even though there is a ban on gambling in the country, with this underground casino, people can freely play gambling. But only certain people know where it is. Meanwhile, the prohibition of gambling in other countries has made these people look for places other than underground casinos. With the advent of the internet, their desire to gamble online can be carried out. And yes, those from countries where gambling is prohibited use VPNs to avoid being banned from their country. And for the time being, they succeed in playing online gambling.

Most of the countries that banned gambling were due to the fact that their religious beliefs go against it and they also believed that gambling should not be a responsible man's business because their own believe is that it involves cheating on one another, if you're in a country that go against such then you need to be very careful not to get yourself into trouble by violating their laws and byepass them through the use of VPN to launch into some official gambling websites, it's another form of trick on itself you doing that and when caught by your government or the casino will attract unfavourable consequences.

A gambler should be aware of the laws regarding gambling in their country so they do not get in trouble. Wanting to gamble ignorantly without any idea of the status of gambling laws in your country is not a smart move because ignorance of the law is not an excuse in court of law.

In Brazil, gambling is prohibited, but online sports betting is not included in the category of gambling, therefore it continues to be allowed due to the existence of a "grey area" in the law, since at the same time it is not prohibited there is also no regulation.

And just as in other countries, in Brazil we also have a lot of advertising for sports betting being broadcast in stadiums and on television, but the government is consequently losing a lot in tax collection because it is not able to tax them properly due to the lack of a regulation in this sector.

But, as in the entire internet of a free country, it is not possible to easily ban foreign betting sites, so everything is "free" here, even gambling in general.

Well, the truth is, I didn't know that in Brazil they had this restriction, in Venezuela they also had casinos closed for more than 20 years, and after direct negotiations with the current government they reopened them, so these things are what should never have existed, casinos are funny, there should be no restrictions, in Venezuela during those 21 years online casinos could not bet, because the government was not so interested in prohibitions, they know that casinos represent money, business, so these things learned that the doors should not be closed However, while that ban was in force, clandestine casinos were always generated, and when they were discovered they all went to jail, both the owners and the players, and now things have changed and that's for the best.

Now, there is something that does not add up to me, it happens that in the USA there are many restrictions, for online casinos and for exchanges, the USA is a country with so many freedoms, because many people from other countries go to the USA looking for the freedoms that they have there and what they do is that all that is prohibited, I can't say anything about Las Vegas, because in Las Vegas it's something else that lives there, but for the rest of those things that I've seen there are prohibitions, of made since 2019 in Binance they are fighting to be allowed to operate with them, in the part of online casinos they also have many restrictions, at least stake.us is the casino that they can operate with great confidence and security, it is an advantage that stake.com has standing out worldwide and reaching all corners of the world.

In particular, the beliefs that people have about casinos are many, some see it as bad, I don't understand it, it's something that I think has never been squared, however, in that country they have their rules and regulations that I still don't understand, and That causes discomfort for many players, traders, because they should have those freedoms, after all, they are entertainment that people seek to have a good time and I think that's what it's all about.

If there is a law strictly prohibiting any gambling-related activities, then this must be faithfully followed in order to prevent any legal conflicts/problems arising.

If the law imposes a fine, penalty and/or jail time, then this should definitely be avoided at all cost as this would be dangerous if found guilty thereof. There are reasons on why a country imposes a ban on gambling despite its positive effects on the economy. Like what you have mentioned, most Islamic and religious countries are on the view of absolutely prohibiting gambling.

While there may be some users who do underground gambling, this should definitely be exercised in caution in order to avoid any future legal problems.

Underground gambling or basically house gambling is possibly happening there. But as you've just said, it's exclusive to a very few circle of people and before they allow one, there's probably a tough process for one to be part of it because they'll never know if that person is just an agent and could try to track them down and will report it to the authorities that they're having some underground gambling happening somewhere else.

Meanwhile, the prohibition of gambling in other countries has made these people look for places other than underground casinos. With the advent of the internet, their desire to gamble online can be carried out. And yes, those from countries where gambling is prohibited use VPNs to avoid being banned from their country. And for the time being, they succeed in playing online gambling.

With the internet, it's been easier. Even if their telcos will ban the websites, you're right that there is still a way for them to access it through VPN or any tools that can block that access made by their own telco or government. It's easy for them to do that by just availing those paid tools which will surely be bought by them if they can't resist to gamble online.

Where Can You Bet Online?

States in the U.S. that allow online gambling
The above states have different tax laws, meaning you will pay a different tax if you bet in Kansas than if you bet in Michigan. If you decide to wager in any of the above states, make sure you know how much taxes you will pay.

Also, some states allow in person betting but not online, which is why a state like Washington isn’t on the list. It’s not clear if Washington is allowing online gambling, which is another issue.

Because the gambling laws in each state are different, it’s difficult to know the exact laws for each state.

Nations that have allowed offshore online gambling for more than a decade
Belize
Curacao
Panama
Antigua & Barbuda
Costa Rica
If you’ve gambled online before, there’s a good chance you’ve bet in a sportsbook or online casino that has a license from one of the above nations.

All nations listed above have good reputations for providing licenses to legit sportsbooks and online casinos. Costa Rica, especially, has licensed legitimate online sportsbooks and casinos.

This is more like a list of all American states that allow gambling along with a few other countries, but it's missing a huge amount of actual countries where gambling is allowed. Like the UK and vast amounts of Europe. The small list of other countries is more like jurisdictions for sale that allow you to set up a licensed casino for a fee. It would probably have been easier to list the states where it is not allowed. It would be better to know more specifics of the different state laws if they are substantial, but frankly the whole US system is a mess and it'd be better if they legalized it at a single federal level instead of having so much difference across the country and a race to the bottom.

there are still many people who already know that gambling is prohibited in their country. They still try to gamble online and even use VPNs to bypass restrictions from their country. And even if they find a reputable casino, they should also ensure that it allows their users to use a VPN. Otherwise, that user will only get into trouble from his casino. But maybe there are still people who can play gambling in peace, even though they come from countries where gambling is prohibited and also use VPNs to gamble in online casinos.

No, you can't be in peace if you are gambling from illegal countries. There is still a thought of what if you got caught? What will be the consequences of it? But, I am sure it's going to be tough. So, if I were you guys who are planning to gamble illegally, it's better to not do it.

There might still be other ways to entertain your self but if you can afford to travel in other countries, this might be a good idea to gamble there legally. I know some reputable online casinos that allows VPN but I think its this is only for the countries who are not on their restricted list. VPN still has a benefit and that is it can speed up a slow connection. It can as well enhance our privacy.

That's why if we are in an illegal country, we don't need to try to play gambling but there are still many who do and most of them use VPNs to get past those restrictions. But if their ISP or the government catches them, they can be caught under the pretext of breaking the gambling rules. And if that happened, they would also find it difficult to explain.

They can get entertainment without having to gamble in many ways. But it depends on whether they want to do it or not. And because gambling can provide a different sensation from other entertainment, that's what makes them play gambling.

Unlocking the ability to access casinos using VPNs can only work if a certain casino allows the use of VPN and also doesn't require KYC verification, because if your country has banned gambling, casinos will most likely put your country under restricted countries and they won't allow players from your country to use their services, so if someone uses a VPN to access a platform and then asked to complete KYC verification, they can't do it since their country is not listed.

Also, it is never a recommended way to access a casino using a VPN because you might make a deposit, and win some money, but then if they object after finding out that you have been using a VPN for accessing their services, they might not let you withdraw the money and confiscate the funds.

So we should also realize that if a casino prohibits players from certain countries from playing gambling in its casino, we shouldn't force ourselves to try it and even use a VPN. Otherwise, we will be punished by the casino, and they will not allow us to visit the casino. Casinos can simply block your connection to their casinos because they also have to monitor players from countries they ban on their list.

We can still look for other casinos that allow us to play gambling at their casinos without using a VPN. Or we can also use a VPN to play gambling at the casino because they allow it. But we must comply if there is a prohibition against using a VPN.

Each casino has their own jurisdiction so that if there are gamblers who continue to access the site using a VPN and it is clearly stated that VPN use is prohibited, this will only make it difficult for the gambler himself where accounts can be banned and all existing balances will be frozen by casino team.
It's best not to try to violate the prohibition rules.

But most gamblers really don't care about such prohibitions and they still do what they think can give them pleasure and satisfaction.

And rather than make things difficult for himself, the gambler should find another casino where he doesn't need to use a VPN. But if he still wants to use a VPN, he should ask his casino through customer support about using a VPN at the casino. And if the customer support says that the casino allows a VPN, he can still use a VPN. Otherwise, he can keep looking until he finds a casino that allows VPN use. But it's true what you say that gamblers don't seem to heed or care about such a ban and still use VPN to access the casino.

Online casino gambling sites are now widely circulated, almost everyone has access to them and I see absolutely no disturbances that they experience, but maybe in every country there must be several online casinos that have been banned so this requires gamblers to find a way exit and VPN is one of the most used methods. Regarding licensing issues, I don't think this is too much of a problem, for myself I've never asked support about VPN licensing, because I'll just check it myself, if you've used a VPN but still can't access the casino then they definitely don't allow gamblers outside the server to play there. But in my opinion for now there are lots of online casinos that we can access, even though there are some limitations,
but this is still good and I still do the same method, don't rely too much on VPN because there are still many that I can access.

Online casinos are like confetti sprinkled all over the internet, right? And the governments trying to vacuum them up are frankly failing at it. Governments are trash when it comes to understanding the joy and benefits of online gambling, so what's their deal? Ban this, ban that... it's getting old, don't you think?

VPNs are like digital escape ropes. If one doesn't work, switch, shuffle, and try another. But also, sometimes it's not even about the VPNs, sometimes it's just the casino being a little picky. They want to choose their players like someone trying to pick the best apple from a cart.

But in this entire melodrama, the fact remains: if there's a will (and an internet connection), there's a way! Though, it is pretty hilarious that in the age of quantum physics and space tourism, some folks can't figure out how to play a hand of online blackjack from a different country. Ha!

[coin-investor]

Nope, the government ban gambling because of the religion and they're poor countries. Although UAE and North Korea are small countries, but UAE is rich and North Korea is a private country. Gambling should be only for the rich because poor people can't afford to lose their money and can't find entertainment during gambling.

Yeah they can access via VPN, but sooner or later the casino will ask KYC or terminate their account.

I'm living in a third-world country but gambling is legal here in fact our government is the one running the lottery here and also the casino so, in general, it's not the condition of the country, it is the government's choice to ban the country if they want to, our government-run lotteries and casinos funded our health system the one that benefits is the poor and needy sector.
We cannot say that gambling is for rich people because there are poor people who can play in casinos and other betting platforms like horse racing and other betting platforms, and these venues accept you whether you are rich or poor.

This is how our government works, they manage lottery system and now they are planning to create their own online gambling site to meet the demand of the gamblers since its volume rises during the pandemic and now they want to make more money from this. Yes its legal but some sites are still operating illegally, so better to be more careful on choosing where to gamble because not all is legit.

I'm from a country that has laws against online gambling, but influencers and even celebrities promote online gambling platforms. The government has these laws and regulations against online gambling but they are not that keen into enforcing the law against possible law-breakers. I'd say that the laws here are pretty lax with regards to online gambling albeit it being an illegal activity. We can pretty much gamble online even without the use of VPN unless the platform explicitly disallows them from using the platform.

it goes to show how a certain government can take advantage of the financial opportunity that they can get from gambling industry. since gambling will always be a part of humanity, why not let them exist, so long they are complying with the regulations set by the government. it is a win-win situation here. just like you said, the government is using the funds collected from this business to help the less-fortunate ones. they can also improve other things like their transpo and living conditions of its people.

I live in Illinois and let me tell you gambling has absolutely blown up here, both in physical form as well as online.  Honestly if you drive 2 miles from my home in any direction, you'll find at least 10-15 places that have video poker/slot machines or simply parlors within that amount of space.  It's crazy really.  Anyways we can use a host of online websites ( I even heard ESPN is opening their own) but I still prefer to use sites like ones we are advertising on here for.
