Should a casino allow registration via VPN?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

It does seem somewhat unfair to block accounts after a deposit, but casinos make it clear in their terms that VPNs are not allowed.

However, in practice, they often only detect its use afterward, so the problem is that the player accepted the rules. It's always best to read the terms and play on trustworthy sites, avoiding VPNs. That's what I would do. 

The reason why some people have problems of blocked accounts is because they have violated the casino's rule which was made against using VPN. It's better to use a casino that support VPN, there are casinos that allows the use of VPN but when the gambler doesn't do findings before using a casino that doesn't allow VPN, they will blame the casino for their own mistake.

Is it ethical to spit on the sidewalk? Some don't, and some do. With regard to casinos and VPNs, it is pointless to discuss ethics. It only matters what the license provides (for example, regional restrictions) and TOS. I am sure that the TOS of most casinos does not set deadlines in any way, and the casino's obligations to establish the fact of using a VPN are not stipulated (judging by the TOS that I have read at different casinos). It's just not allowed. This means that a violation of the ban can be detected at any time at the discretion of the casino or in accordance with its technical capabilities. A client who deliberately violates a ban and then asks about ethics should have previously thought about the ethics of violating TOS.

I change my ISP(internet service provider) few months ago, and match that i has not access to few casinos. There are no any restrictions, they are not blocked in my country, but i can`t open these casinos without VPN.
I have to change casino, ok, i don`t like it but it is fair. But how to withdraw money? If i will withdraw money, 95% chance that system will check me and find VPN. Support said only that i can`t use VPN due to ToS.
What to do in such situation? And it is just one example.

PS. I solved it - i paid for one more internet to old ISP. It was humiliating to connect right in the entrance.

This is very different from the situation of the OP, who wonders why the casino does not ban him at the registration stage with a VPN (if this is a deliberate violation of the TOS). Because the casino is not obligated to do this, and it has the right to accept a deposit and then ban it. And legally, it is unlikely to be possible to challenge this. But your situation is different. I also can't open a lot of things without a VPN.

The first thing to consider is not about the rule for VPN usage, but it is about countries restriction because it will still against the rule if a casino is allowing VPN usage but you are from restricted countries.
So we should assure ourselves that the casino accept players from our country first, then we can check the option about VPN usage if we like to use VPN for gambling activity.
This is what I usually do because I like to use VPN for gambling, so far I have no issue in all casinos where I play although I use VPN most of the time.
In other words, casino allows the use of VPN does not mean that the casino allows you to bypass countries restriction, it is the main point.

Yeah, i understand it. And i wrote here that it can be not ethical but it is fair. Casino use ToS and it decide how gambler would be checked and what moment to choose for it.
But the situation with VPN is more difficult than just registration moment. Today i have to withdraw money regularly because i don`t sure that i will be able to visit casino without VPN tomorrow.
The best way, as for me, is KYC and VPN check during registration. If the gambler has no any restriction, can visit casino without VPN - he must not be checked or KYCed later.

You also need to understand that not everyone has go against casino rules and some gamblers may be trying to avoid their local region from being detected by the casinos since they are living in one of the restricted zones. Some casinos still allow gamblers to use VPN to access gheir sites but this is not to break their rules of operation as a casino.

Maybe only 1 out of 100 read ToS. Many click straight sign-in button, register as quick as possible and head to making their first deposit. But when they are lucky to win and try to withdraw winning, when they withdrawal stays "in process" status for hours and days, they first contact support. When support tell them about ToS violation, only then user goes there, presses ctrl+f, types VPN and learn that it is not allowed. Complaints are that casino does not prevent registration and deposit, even though they know user is violating rules.

But they still check the box “I have read and agree to the terms and conditions”? I don't see any problem with that—if you haven't read it, agreed to it, and then “the rules worked,” what complaints could there be? People are just used to doing everything in a hurry, without reading the rules or studying the instructions, agreeing to things they don't understand. That's the price of such haste and inattention.

With those things they have did those decision to short cut everything and just immediately click that they agree with their terms will cause them a problem. Because for sure they missed lots of information which seriously they need to pay close attention.

Casino made a rules for players to follow and if they evade reading it, If it happen they made an issue well they cannot use the reason that they don't know those rules exist. Because casino highlighted their terms upon registration but those people fails to follow.

Bottom line: if there are rules, you “accepted” them without reading them, then broke them, what complaints do you have against the casino? Either everyone plays by the rules or everyone breaks them There is no other way! One side cannot strictly adhere to the rules if the other side breaks them.
