Can a gambler lose their winning because of this?

It completely depends on the casino's policy or terms and conditions. Sometimes it is seen that many casinos allow you to create an account through email and when they make a deposit, some casinos do not ask for KYC from them, but when they want to withdraw their money, they are asked for KYC. In this case, some casinos block the money and in some cases, they lock their account for a while. So, it is necessary to pay attention to the terms and conditions of the casinos at the beginning, because they do not face such a situation later.

Yes, the gambler can lose his balance, because he is breaking the rule by playing from a country where the platform isn't regulated. The fact he has been using VPN isn't an issue and won't be used by the casino against him.

Actually, I see the possibility of using VPN in this case only as a bait provided by the casino, to take advantage in situations exactly like that one where the house can deny a withdrawal.

I just want to clear my doubt, that's why I have to ask this question. Assuming a casinos allows the use of VPN and a customers who is using the casino from a country where gambling is banned encountered some challenges relating to withdrawing their winnings, if the user is asked by the casino to submit his or her information for KYC purpose and this casino finds out that gambling is banned in that country, will they still resolve the customers issue or use the fact that gambling is banned in that country as an excuse to deprive the gambler their wins?.

With my little knowledge I believe once you boycott your country law to gamble using VPN you have already agreed to take the risk. If by chance it happens that you can't withdraw and KYC is involved then you should be ready to leave that fund because the casino can't help you since they have list of countries that doesn't patronize them, or list of countries that gambling is banned. It will be of your own interests to just forget about it because your KYC documents has already disqualified you.

It's already obvious that casinos always want to make money from gamblers, so they wouldn't hesitate to use it as an excuse against the gambler if such a thing happened along the line. There's no two ways about it, because it's something that you did secretly and hoping that you will also get it secretly, due to the fact gambling is banned in our country.

So it is absolutely clear that you have violated the rules, and you have no option other than to move on regardless any amount.

If you play from a country where online gambling is prohibited then you are at risk if that information is exposed in KYC.
Just because you are allowed to use VPN, it's not fair to assume that casino will ignore your country's law or their Restricted Country Policy.
Many casino Terms clearly state that player is solely responsible for complying with laws of their country.
And if you are being caught from restricted jurisdiction then they can restrict your account and even forfeit your winning.

You're right. Things like this can be likely fifty fifty chances of survival. However, If you are lucky enough to have a smooth  gambling experience without experiencing any form challenge that might require your details via kyc then you are good but if otherwise  you stand a higher chances of losing everything including your winnings. Furthermore, the casinos reserved every right to do whatever pleases them and have no case to answer. Hence, it important we do what is right at every point in our gambling streak so we won't be deny when cashing out our winnings.

That is absolutely correct. That is why, before signing up for an online site, you must carefully read all the terms and conditions to avoid failing the KYC process. While many online gambling sites allow the use of VPN, they still prohibit players from restricted regions consequently if you win you may be unable to withdraw your funds because the KYC process requires you to provide an address or identity details from a country that is on their prohibited list.

Gambling sites sometimes allow the use of VPN but when it comes time to withdraw, they often cite the violation of their rules as grounds to void your winnings and deny the payout. This practice is common, so using a site where your country is restricted carries a significant risk the site is highly likely to easily freeze your winnings and close your account. Ultimately, you need to be cautious when choosing a gambling site do not be swayed solely by cashback offers or bonuses. Instead, pay close attention to the terms and conditions as most sites clearly list the countries that are restricted during the KYC process.

In a country where gambling is prohibited, using a VPN does not make it legal but only gives you access to the gambling platform. In other words, the gambling platform believes the traffic is coming from a country with legal rights to gamble.

Depending on the law, you could lose your winnings and your deposit when the casino finds out about the access using a VPN. How it was done a few years back is that the platform returns your deposit only, while your win remains theirs.

However, in modern gambling sites, you may face account suspension, forfeiture of winnings depending on the regulatory rules and terms, refund of deposit, but it is rare now in modern sites, and a permanent ban from using the site.

Most likely, everything will depend on the rules of the specific casino. If it allows using a VPN, passing KYC itself shouldn't become a reason to decline a payout. However, if the terms include country restrictions or if the casino isn't allowed to operate with residents of certain nations, this could become an issue during KYC. Generally, it's better to clarify such details in advance, rather than after a win when you need to withdraw it.
