Seems like you are the only forum users still playing at Punkz occasionally.

One of the reasons could be because they have a massive list of countries whose residents are banned from using their platform. Among the casinos I have ever come across, I think they and Betpanda have the biggest lists.

I wanted to play at punkz so bad but didn't want to risk having my funds blocked since my country was banned. I guess the same applies to a significant number of members.

Together with the ending of their signature campaign, there are less posts in this announcement thread and without active marketing, forum members usually will try to find other casinos to bet and wager. The restricted list is another big reason because no people want to bypass the restriction and get problems with their accounts and funds later.

Their representative account CasinoPunkz was not active since February while the last updating post was in December 2025.

We have 1000s casinos, new ones created every day, and some supporting the bitcointalk community until this day. It is easy to move on to a casino that is currently present here with an active strategy, giving bonuses and marketing money to the community.

Unless they are super different, have really good bonuses or you really like an original game they have, then there is no real reason to not move on to a new casino. Many people here use the signature of a casino and the least they can do is give it a chance so the marketing funds are not spent in vain.

Without KYC is this a problem? You can just use a VPN if you really want to play. Unless the NO KYC tag is a lie and they can demand documents which will result in your funds blocked

I don't want to quote everything here, but you might want to check their privacy policy - https://punkz.com/en/page-detail/privacy-policy
The talk of KYC verification

The no KYC applies to "normal users". I know they encourage the use of VPNs, but imagine you are from a country that is banned, you make a huge win, and you attempt to withdraw, but then they ask you for KYC verification.

I understand

It's like I said:

You would need a really good reason to take this risk

But again, this is why the "No KYC unless for any reason we want to say you or your bets are suspicious and now surprise you need to do KYC" is terrible. No KYC should be No KYC.

Seems like you are the only forum users still playing at Punkz occasionally. There is an option to track the wager manually. You have to calculate it through the earned XP after making a deposit. However, it won't be possible you are playing the provably fair games as those don't generate any XP's. Anyway, it is indeed a biggest drawback of Punkz as there is no way to check the wager amount in a normal way.

Why do you think so? ) I think Punks.com isn't such a bad casino to play at, I think there are quite a few regular players there. There are of course, some nuances, like deposit wagering tracking when you don't see any progress, and the handicaps aren't always the best option. This is important for me because I often play handicaps on sporting events. But overall, the casino is quite good.

On verification section https://punkz.com/en/page-detail/terms-and-conditions they write this you are a resident in a jurisdiction which allows gambling This means people in regions which have strict gambling law or those who declared online gambling is illegal they are at huge risk to encounter issues. There's no sense for them to use VPN because if they hit big win, there's really a chance that those things what you have said will happen and those players will encounter a withdrawal issues.

Also its sole responsibility for people to know if their jurisdiction has banned. If they know that their government declare online gambling is illegal, then their country always shows on restricted list on lots of casino then better to follow those restrictions and don't play to avoid having any serious problems.

Punkz isn't a bad casino, but it isn't the best as well. They have a lot of things to improve. 'logfiles' has already said in his post that why Punkz doesn't have so many active gamblers from this community. They have a big list of restricted countries. Where the most surprising part is that Punkz doesn't have a geo-blocking system for the restricted countries.

Based on the terms of Punkz, I'm from a restricted country, and I shouldn't play here. But I was able to make deposits and play here without any issues. I had made two or three deposits only at Punkz, and avoided the platform when I noticed my country name in their restricted jurisdiction list.

Based on Punkz.com terms of service, it clearly states that players from restricted countries are not allowed to play at their casino. So even though it is technically possible to register and deposit without any block, that does not mean it is safe. If a player breaks this rule, Punkz.com has the right to take action based on the rules they already set.

So this is not just about a technical gap, there really is a valid reason the casino can use if a transaction related issue comes up. In the end the risk is carried by the player, not the casino.

That's quite classic that trying to break ToS will lead to very unhappy ending. Because when a person broke ToS of a company, he was at a disadvantage side but honestly I am not a lawyer to completely understand about it too well and accurately as how law enforcement will be applied with ToS and a website operation.

For example, if ToS does not allow people from a nation to join a site and use a service but the online site does not block and disallow that person in account registration, what will happen next?

Later, the site can terminate the user account but if it it pulled out after the user funded account, bet and won big, I am not sure how the user will lose this case and how the company can defend itself against any lawsuit from the user.

It's about law, and as said I am not an expert in this field, so as a normal user, not expertise in law, I would like to take care of my money by obeying to a service's ToS.

Well, it is good thing that they do not ban your account and they were still letting you to withdraw your money but my question is, did you notice that your country is on the restriction list late or it was not on the restriction list when you created your account?
There is also a term that anyone from country where game of chance is prohibited should not play in Punkz, in this case means that they should not accept players from my country as well but in fact I'm in the same boat because I have made few deposits and withdrawals here long time ago.
Frankly, I did not notice about this term long time ago so I was not worrying about this thing, but now as there is such a terms so it is better to avoid Punkz and maybe Punkz should also become more active in informing players (new players) when their system detect that players come from restricted country/jurisdiction.

I believe the main problem in this is the absence of good geo blocking. Players who have a clearly identified restricted country should not be allowed to register or deposit if possible. In the first place. Otherwise it has the potential to cause confusion for the player and the casino. Particularly when it comes to subsequent withdrawals. I also feel these restrictions should be a lot more prominent when registering with Punkz. Many users won't review all of the terms before they make their initial deposit. So this is not sufficient. If a warning would be given or auto location check. It would be a safer solution and would not let players reach the restriction after depositing and playing.

The terms of Punkz were same for the restricted countries from the beginning. I didn't bother to check the restricted countries while creating an account here. Because I have never seen my country name in the restricted jurisdiction list at any casinos in the past, and Punkz never shows any warnings about country restrictions. I had lost my deposits here, never made any withdrawals from Punkz.

I don't think it is a careful and good practice. Because if your nation is in a sanctioned list OFAC, and gambling is illegal in your nation, your nationality and IP address are very likely banned by many casinos, and possibly you don't have to check that. It's a little bit different if your nation is not in that case, you will still have need of checking a restricted list because companies are different with each other, and for a highest concern about safety of your money, it's good to quickly check that list.

I had lost my deposits here, never made any withdrawals from Punkz.

Is it your loss from bets or loss from unable to withdraw your fund from Punkz?

My country isn't on the sanctioned list OFAC, and online casinos consider my country a gray area for gambling. I never found my country name in the restricted jurisdiction list except Punkz and Betpanda. For your information, I have surfed the terms of a few hundred casinos in my gambling journey until now.

Is it your loss from bets or loss from unable to withdraw your fund from Punkz?

No, I had lost my deposits while playing the games normally. I strongly believe that Punkz will process my withdrawal normally without any restrictions if I make a deposit now. But I won't do it. I respect their terms, even though they don't .

It’s strange to hear that, because they actually have a section on their website called VPN Info, where they provide all the information on how to play using a VPN. They even have recommendations for locations, VPN providers, and installation. So I don’t think there should be any issues with that.



Especially since they allowed you to withdraw your money, I’d say that’s a good sign as well. But I understand what you mean, and none of us needs any unnecessary risks. So if you can choose another casino where you feel safer, then of course it makes sense to do that.

Although a casino allow us to use VPN, but it does not mean that we are allowed to use VPN to bypass the countries restriction.
If a casino has a term of restricted countries or jurisdiction and at the same allow users to bypass this restriction by using VPN, it is even stranger situation.
I'm not saying Punkz do this but as what I say previously, VPN usage is usually limited to bypass restriction by game providers only or for privacy purpose only.
Means that bypassing countries restriction by using VPN is not recommended as it is basically breaching the terms of the casino.

No casinos allow to use VPN for bypassing restriction on countries in their restricted countries list. They have such restricted lists to obey with laws and regulations so if they don't enforce it strictly, they will have legal problems with governments.

They clearly did not accept the use of VPN to mas your IP address if you are from a restricted nation. It's written in ToS.
