Check if the gambling site you are using is illegal in your country

[qwertyup23]

Just a word of caution- even after checking on the website provided by OP, always exercise your due diligence by literally researching on your own country regarding gambling laws. While gambling may not be completely prohibited, there are still some certain activities that are potentially regulated and strictly monitored in your country.

To give an example, while gambling is not absolutely prohibited, you are still required to ONLY play on gambling platforms that are licensed and regulated by the government of your country.

I went through the gambling sites that are licensed in my country which are 88 on the site, I noticed all the well known gambling sites there. But as big as stake.com is, I checked Curacao but I was unable to see Stake among the gambling sites that are licensed. Only Roobet was the crypto gambling site that I know of that I saw there.

This is exactly the reason on why you should still conduct your own research beforehand. Relying primarily on that gambling site alone would put you at risk of potential criminal and/or civil liability in the event you failed to check all the boxes.

Right now it's useless to me - my country isn't on the list. But it can still be useful to others whose countries are on it.
The problem is that experienced gamblers already know everything they need about a casino and its restrictions. And newcomers won't find this site. In my opinion, it needs a different domain name - much shorter and catchier. And promotion, of course.

I tried checking my country but it's not there yet, maybe in the future.

License data & information are only available in the blue section, if you're from a country that's not marked, you will not find them. I'm from Indonesia, since Indonesia isn't marked, I can't find any information.

BTW, all the information I’ve seen relates to traditional casino brands, there’s no mention of the crypto casinos that we’re all familiar with on this forum, like Stake.com, Rollbit, Rainbet, Roobet or Duelbits.

Well then, as it stands today, it's crap. It doesn't provide information on several European countries, and it doesn't cover the most well-known cryptocurrency casinos either, right? I suppose it doesn't covers the lesser-known ones we see on the forum either. I imagine they'll gradually improve the site, including more countries, and hopefully, cryptocurrency casinos as well—otherwise, they're just providing incomplete information that doesn't cover all countries.

Just a word of caution- even after checking on the website provided by OP, always exercise your due diligence by literally researching on your own country regarding gambling laws.

Yeah, that's for sure. The site might be a help for a first sight, but you always must confirm with your own research.

As Indonesian citizen, we do not need this kind of website because we know that all online casinos are illegal in our country LOL.
So I believe our country will never be added in the list on this website and maybe will happen to any other countries where gambling is illegal.
Frankly, I'm not sure that this kind of information is useful or helpful enough for gamblers in general because I believe most gamblers will prefer to read the terms on the casino where they are going to play.
To see if their country is restricted by the casino or not which is more important to gamblers IMO.

I checked for Stake, SnapExgames and Rainbet and it's saying that the casinos are not licensed to offer online gambling in my country however I have been using stake for a long time here and have not had any issue, the other two casinos too I just started using recently and have not had any issue too. The only casinos that showed legal was a local casinos that its CEO is from our region. I think the tool is good but it could also make some people not to gamble on the casino showing illegal even though the casino might not have a problem providing service in their country.

[Hispo]

I tried using this tool and unfortunately it seems my country is not available yet to be searched.
Though, I think this is a very good idea and initiative, so people can be sure they are gambling within the legality of their country.

It would be ideal if this webpage or other similar ones could appear on the main dashboard of casinos, so gamblers could check by themselves of they are legally allowed to gamble on those casinos before even depositing, that would save many people from having to deal with a violation of terms of service and also with their own national law.

For our crypto casino's,  I thought these are in the gray area especially that its almost impossible to get that all in one license and our casinos can get away with it..unless the casino itself has a geolock against certain countries or its terms and conditions bar some countries from accessing a platform,  so these websites are half baked if you ask me.

Both online, and physical gambling are going on in my country presently, although there was a time it was debated by the federal government as they were considering weather to stop gambling or not , and eventually they have not raised such matter again. Nevertheless, I have perused through your link, and find out that gambling is still allowed in my country, and even the number of regulated sites still displayed, and non of my sites is banned.

All gambling site operating in any country should be duely registered, and properly regulated, this is for the benefits of the country, the gamblers, and the gambling platforms as well , and it is important gamblers should avoid unregulated gambling platforms for their own benefits.

I love this innovative approach by CheckBeforeYouPlay.org of which helps relieve players the burden of verification of their favorite gambling site licenses, so as not to be victims of gambling with illegal operators, although the list is yet to be expanded to cover majority of global gambling platforms, it is however a great start they have made already to cover this much.

With this initiative am sure gamblers should be able to see the risk in using unlicenced sites which could leave them exposed to funds that can't be recovered, leave them exposed to rigged games, sites with weak data security and without proper recommended safer gambling tools like self exclusion service.

Useless website like this... Indonesia is completely illegal about gambling.

This site has no clear credibility about how accurate it is, I myself did not check because it is limited to our country, while other countries I do not know.

Just read the terms and conditions of the casino, there it is explained in full so there is no need for a third party anymore.

[mirakal]

We have this from our local regulator, https://www.pagcorguarantee.ph/ maybe they copied that from us, LOL..

But honestly that was a good initiative, especially if you are living in a country where gambling regulations are quite strict, you don't want to make mistakes that might make you face legal trouble. Or in another way, for someone who is trying to make sure that they are gambling on a licensed site, then that is helpful.

The popular casinos we are using which we call offshore casinos actually most of them don't have licenses in our country, and we are all aware that they are considered illegal in the sense that they don't have a license in the country where we live, but when it comes to reputation, we can check here in the forum and many of them have good reputations.

[Karl_3000]

This site is not used to know if a gambling site is legal or illegal in your country, it only shows the country the gambling sites get their licenses from or is there something that I do not know that is included on the site? Bit with what I have seen so far, that is what it does. If you want to know a gambling site is available for people in your country, read the gambling site terms of service and make sure you are using only trustworthy gambling sites.

[Bluedrem]

In my country, all types of gambling sites are banned. And if someone gambles physically in public and the law enforcement agencies find out, there is a provision for punishment for him. Yes, no one can gamble in public here, but due to the benefits of online, most people have become involved in gambling. When people can gamble online very easily, they no longer feel the need to get together and gamble. Since they are in their own hands, they use their smartphones to create an account on a casino site and gamble there.
But your tools are great, yes, it is an effective tool. I checked a few casino sites and probably because gambling is prohibited in my country, all the casino sites seemed to be banned.

[Odohu]

My country is not too strict about legal and illegal gambling sites as everyone is allowed to operate without any form of restriction, maybe the government is not too interested in that. In reality, most of the offshore casinos operate freely in my country and they have no problem from the authorities so checking different casinos I use willl not return any information that will make any difference.

[Zigabel]

This quick check platform is a good one, a great idea that combines convenience,  but i see from someone's reply here that it isn't assuring you that a platform is operating illegally because they couldn't identify it is operating on a license or not in a particular region,  to me, this mean this platform cannot be very reliable to check for illegally operating casinos,  and it could also falsely see a legal casino as operating illegally because it was yet to get their licence status as at the time of the search just as seen in the second reply in this thread.

The admins of the platform still needs to improve on it such that it will become reliable,  and the information gotten from them treated as authentic.  But you can still go ahead to check with regulatory agencies in your country to be sure of legally operating and licensed casinos operating in your country,  so you don't fall victim of data theft and other related casino fraud.

The internet has made gambling way more easier to access now because it has saved people the stress of having to leave the comfort of their home to a physical location before they can place a bet or even cash out their wins, especially for those who really don’t like hanging around a lot of people. People just have to pick up their phone and place their bets, which equally makes it way more difficult for authorities to monitor. However, it’ll take more than just blocking the casino site to solve the problem, because there are tons of other platforms and it wouldn’t cost them anything to simply switch to a totally different casino.

[Moreno233]

I have checked many of the casinos in the forum but none of them have valid registration in my country. But this does not even stop me from using them as I have used most of those casinos without any challenge whatsoever. I think the casinos that have registration in my country are those operating locally and have physical shops here, the rest do not have such registration and I don't know what will be the implication of using them.

[Pandu Geddon]

I think users should make an effort to find information themselves about whether their country is restricted or exempted by the casino. Gamblers from several countries that clearly prohibit gambling can still access and play at certain crypto casinos. If going through the casino's terms and conditions is too troublesome, they should ask support, which is not too difficult.

[Die_empty]

Change the location to Curaçao, and then click the "licensed sites" on the right side, you'll see Roobet on the list, and some other crypto casinos that advertised here in the forum in the past, but from the looks of it, the list that they have there aren't complete. I mean, there is no way there are only that many casinos that have a Curaçao license.

Let @MAAManda also change the location to Brazil and search for Stake; the site confirmed that the casino is registered. Anjouan is another popular license for many crypto casinos like Earnbet. Regretfully, the Union of the Comoros or the State of Anjouan is not included on the list of nations on the website.

You will be surprised by how lazy people can get, even using this site will end up being too much for some, they will just go right ahead and create an account with any casino and only find out their country is restricted when something goes wrong or th casino alerts them.

It's not too difficult for some, it's too much trouble for others, a few times here threads have been created by people who failed to read the terms and conditions of a casino only to come here complaining about how the casino scammed them when they were the ones who failed to check how the casino operated.
Though finding out if your country is restricted by the casino is much easier.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

Looks like there are so many country that is not listed in this but maybe they are just starting on this and will develop for more.
I want to see my country on the list as i have so many links for the online casino here.  alot to improve for this.
