BC.Game is block in Brazil - Brazil leftwing censorship see no limits

[bitmover]

I woke up today with this very sad news. A former sponsor of my domain and a good company which I use the signature for several months is now blocked in brazil.

This is the e-mail I received today , google translated to English

We hope you are well. We wanted to let you know about an important update regarding access to our website from Brazil.

Due to regulatory requirements, access to our website from Brazil has been temporarily suspended while we work to obtain the necessary authorization to operate. We are working hard to resolve this issue and appreciate your understanding.

 Important Information for Brazilian Users:

If you are accessing the website from Brazil, please disable any VPN tools you are using to access our website. Accessing our platform from Brazil while using a VPN may still result in interruptions.

I hope that in near future our left-wing socialist President Lula stop censorship our country, after the blocking X (during elections) and now online casinos.

This is sad news for me and other Brazilian users..

That's a sad news but pretty similar to one of our local friends here have experiennce..
And this is his post last night.

Same din sakin na accessible yung ibang website na nabangggit mo. Itong Stake.com lang at bc.game ang hindi accessible through Globle ISP. Tyaga nlng dn siguro muna ako sa mirror link since wala nmn problema so far even sa speed.

If translated, it means he can't access Stake and BC.Game using a specific ISP but can access them through another ISP.

Since your government is strictly enforcing the rules in yorur country, BC.Game has no choice but to avoid any potential legal issues. The government is really tightening its grip now—it feels like they’re taking away our freedom to enjoy gambling.

[Charles-Tim]

Sorry about this.

You can make use of Stake.com which is a very good gambling site. It also has casinos and sport betting. Even you can bet on other events like the United States presidential election there.

Other two sites that I can recommend you are Matawin if you like Web3, and also Livecasino but which only has casin games.

BC.Game said that this would be temporary. Let us hope so but you can try Stake.com. You will like the gambling site also.

Edit:
Likely crypto gambling sites are affected. You can read this to understand: https://paymentexpert.com/2024/04/19/credit-crypto-brazil-betting/.

I do not agree for censorship X, but for gambling not against it.

Government is taking care of their country and they know gambling is bad, even I self as gamblers see. Many of young people in our country is also getting into a gambling since right now a promotion gambling is already being to obvious in public. Our country is also struggle in gambling as well, BTW by the gambling activity since is prohibited making the economy flow is being distributed.

Most of the money are getting out the country, a long time ago we gambler or want to gambling is always hide and now already reaching the peeks stage while people are not shame gambling in public (I see a couple time).

[Haunebu]

Seriously sucks whenever the government interferes like this, but this isn't anything new since this sort of stuff always happens on a regular basis around the world. Silver lining is that you have far better alternatives to play at.

Sites like Crypto.Games, Stake, Sportsbet, Bitcasino etc are way more reputed and popular options in comparison op.

People must do things responsibly, from gambling, trading to investment. I agree that gambling is bad for young people and people who can not control themselves. Irresponsible gambling can lead to many bad things, bankruptcy, suicide, murder to have money for resolving debt.

I see Western countries are more opened with gambling industry but months ago, the UK government plotted their schedule to review and possibly change their advertisement policy from gambling companies and clubs in Premier League.

Premier League’s plan to scrap betting ads on shirts will have ‘minimal effect.
Gambling advertising and the Premier League: What can be done to suit all stakeholders?

Sites like Crypto.Games, Stake, Sportsbet, Bitcasino etc are way more reputed and popular options in comparison op.

If they ban BC.Games with reasons for good of children, the young people in their countries, they will have to ban all other gambling companies if they know these companies or they get reports from citizens.

If they only ban BC.Games, but allow other gambling companies, something is wrong with their regulation.

Sorry about this.

You can make use of Stake.com which is a very good gambling site. It also has casinos and sport betting. Even you can bet on other events like the United States presidential election there.

Stake is a good casino for sure and there are other good casinos out there including Duelbits, Roobet and Rollbit but what I understand from the post is that he has been promoting BC.Game for a while and they also run some sponsorship with them. This means it is much more than finding a casino and include lost of deals for him. If it is all about finding an alternative casino, I don't think he will make this post unless he just want to inform the public of such development.

BC.Game said that this would be temporary. Let us hope so but you can try Stake.com. You will like the gambling site also.

I think it is a good thing to know that the suspension is temporary, probably something that have to do with BC.GAME not meeting some of their requirements. I hope they able to resolve that soon.

Regulators will do everything in their power to ensure receiving their cut. Cryptocurrency is a thread to earn their share which is why they always try to keep it under observation. BC are big now and they will need to focus on legal things more than it was before.

[un_rank]

I cannot find any article on this ban anywhere, only available one is the recent ban on X (formerly twitter) by the Brazilian government. A ban on Bcgame should reflect on other casinos as well, so do you use other gambling websites that you can no longer access from your location?

Government is taking care of their country and they know gambling is bad, even I self as gamblers see.

You can have different opinions on gambling but governments are taking care of themselves and not their citizens most of the time.

I find it crazy to see the extent to which more and more governments want to interfere in the financial decisions of their citizens... They really under-estimate our capacity to drive ourselves through the different choices of life.

Always under the pretext of helping the weakest, blah blah blah...
It's better for people to gamble on an honest site like BC or Stake, than to go and play rigged games IRL in my opinion, better a professional team than mobsters on the street corner when it comes to casinos... Banning online casinos won't making stop gamblers to gamble.

It's demagogy, and useless noise, they just want a bigger slice of the pie eventually, as they always do.
If they put as much energy into moving towards greater social equality, that wouldn't be bad. Attacking online casinos is really symbolic and ridiculous when you consider the difficulties faced by millions of Brazilians.

Well that's how regulation works, It really sucks but we cannot do anything with it. Since this is how government control platforms like BC.Game. But since they said that everything is temporary then I I guess its better to rest from their casino for a while and maybe try to get a new possible sponsor.

But if you want to gamble I guess you know already which casino are better alternative and some casino recommendation posted is good casinos to try.

Provably that there would be changes on the regulation they made especially if the new President is open towards dealing with online casinos.

Yes, but for the family who having such experience one of their members got the addiction. They will gratefully, even not getting any cut

They will gratefully, our country is also facing a gambling problem. Started in around 2021 especially on (Slot) many of people got suffering not just making the crime is going up but also the economy is going strungle.

Most of money flow usually being used for transaction, due most of people who are getting a gambling problem is middle sector is disturbing the economy. Cause the reason, gambling operation is being operated from foreign country (mostly Kamboja) making the money flow is going out side.

Wow, very sorry to learn about this bud, it's always very painful when all of a sudden, we loose access to a service we ones had access to and enjoyed, it's whats even more painful is the fact that it's those we ourselves elected into office are the ones who now have more power than us and can take any decision as regards to the country without even finding out first if such decision is ok with the people.

I am happy to read the update from bc.game stating that they are working hard to get the necessary authorizations so they can possible enter the Brazilian gambling market again, I did advice you be patient and stay hopeful, X after the ban has been restored back to you guys, I believe sooner than later, bc.game will get hold of the licenses required for their services to be fully restored back to the Brazilian gambling market.

Good luck there.

This is one thing about government which i don't like and they often makes things very difficult for her citizens, i can also recall an event that happened within my country years back when we were restricted from x (twitter) and currently they aren't friendly with cryptocurrency p2p trading, attacking exchanges that offer p2p trading. This mostly happens when they are facing attacking from opposition parties and from the general public.

Anyway if BC restrict you from accessing their site due to some regulation issues then you can make another option to use other site that enable you to accessing them, I think few people above has already outlined some favorable site to gambling, like they recommend using stake.com, also you can try out Scroll.bet. and sorry for the sad news.

[Free Market Capitalist]

Surprised? Left-wing and censorship go hand in hand. In this case we are talking about a betting house but there is much stronger censorship in the UK and another one on the way in the USA if the Democrats win. It is about creating a state body that is in charge of regulating what can be said and what can't be said, which translated means that they will censor what doesn't suit the Democrats or Labor. What about a corruption case involving the Democrats? It is censored as a right-wing conspiracy.

This is a strange position from someone who promotes a gambling platform on his profile. I also find it naive to believe that the state is aware of the dangers of gambling and therefore prevents its citizens from using gambling platforms. According to the same logic, companies that produce and distribute alcohol and cigarettes should be banned because they are harmful to the health of citizens. Also, I do not think that the issue has anything to do with the flow of liquidity to and from Brazil because players pay to transfer money and the state imposes taxes on profits from gambling activities that may exceed 20% as in some countries (in my country 25%).
As far as I know, Brazil does not completely ban gambling activities and there are active casino companies inside Brazil in addition to international betting companies. Also, many sites can still be used by Brazilians.
In the case of op, the casino was banned from operating because it does not have a license from the authorities and Brazil has often set conditions for the site to continue operating, including the ability to trace the assets of players in order to apply taxes on them. This is evidence that bcgame has a large user base in Brazil, which made the authorities think about taking advantage. The explanation is as simple as this.

[DiMarxist]

Hey my man sorry for that, that is really sad but I believed before they took this drastic step, they would have informed the users to withdraw their funds in the casino to avoid lost of funds. And since you didn't complained such then I also believed that all is well with your funds. I don't know how things are done in that country but since they said it is temporary and they are working hard to restore the site then let's believed that they come back again.

There’s no problem about the funds of the users since they are given time to withdraw the funds. The main concern here is censorship that will make all affected user unable to access the website regardless of the tool they are using.

I’m surprised how strict the implications of Brazil even in online casino. Our country has a lot of restrictions in online like porn, gambling etc. but there’s a weak implementation that’s why it can bypass by VPN or simply the website itself doesn’t care about the restrictions.

The thing is that we can't blame government for trying to generate tax for themselves but the problem is if the tax are used for the good of the public, for a casino like Bc. Game it requires alot of documentation and papar work for regulation approval to be given and at that we should not expect this process to come soe quick.

But the good part is that, the team already inform that they are working on getting the necessary approval to continue with rendering service to Brazil citizens, although it may take time, but sure it going to come by and if not for anything, the casino will lose their customers to other casinos.

Not that Brazilian government banned gambling sites from operating in their country, they ban Bc.Game. So, gambling is still legit and not banned in Brazil.

Most of the money are getting out the country, a long time ago we gambler or want to gambling is always hide and now already reaching the peeks stage while people are not shame gambling in public (I see a couple time).

While hiding to gamble before? Was gambling banned in Brazil before?

Also know that gambling requires discipline to avoid addiction. In one way or the other, you will be exposed to gambling if your country makes it legal or not.
