Topic: Anyone have gambling experience on Tor? (Read 161 times)

I guess some casinos will not have a problem when their user using Tor browser but to know for sure, you can ask to support system on each casino. I don't have experience using Tor browser to connect to casino. I use my IP or VPN to visit casino. If I want to test a casino, I will do that in my room where no one will see me playing gambling. Thus, I don't have to use VPN or Tor browser. But I heard some casinos require a user to visit on their casino using real IP so casino can identify the user on their server. But I don't know which casino to that so when a user use VPN or Tor browser, they need to use their real IP to visit to the casino so they can know that we use Tor browser or VPN.

I have never had any gambling experience on the Tor browser, in fact I first learned about the Tor browser because of this thread. My personal question is what are the advantages of the Tor browser, are there any other advantages that it has that other browsers don't? Regarding privacy, of course that is something we must pay close attention to because currently crime can happen anywhere and can even be done online, can the Tor browser maintain our own privacy with guarantees? I always gamble online using a browser that has been around for a long time that is familiar such as Chrome or others, and as long as I gamble online using the existing browser I have never experienced any problems with my own privacy leaks, except for the problem with the casino that I have experienced.

Yes, of course, you can enjoy crypto casinos via the Tor browser. However, there are some important things to know about this: the Tor browser keeps you anonymous, routing your connection through multiple layers, which could keep your privacy while playing at a casino. Not all crypto casinos are "Tor-friendly". Some of them simply block the Tor exit nodes or limit access from anonymous browsers to conform to their goals. First, investigate the casino and see if it offers Tor access and if the site is trustworthy. Since this involves crypto casinos, especially when accessed through Tor, trust in the sites is inevitable. Anonymity may be utilized by malicious sites or unregulated ones to acquire illegal customer's data. Look for a website with a good reputation. Valid license and positive user feedback Safety risks. Ensure also that the website is well encrypted. And also other security measures, such as VPN and hardware that authenticate your transactions, ensuring that your cryptos are safe.

When you work with a crypto casino for job search or research It is very important to maintain your dignity. One strategy is to create separate identities for testing, using separate email addresses, wallets, and user accounts. To keep your personal or professional identity completely separate Using disposable or synthetic wallets in testing can help ensure security. Additionally, combining a VPN with Tor provides an additional layer of protection. Prevent your activities from being tracked At the same time, it also prevents your ISP from using your Tor. It is important to clear all data related to your request or trial session. Including your browser history and cache. In order not to delay tracking for payment It is recommended to use privacy-based cryptocurrencies such as Monero or Zcash to keep your transactions private and difficult to trace.

From experience It seems that people who gamble via Tor tend to focus on sticking with well-established, reputable crypto casinos that have really seen this with everyone. Because there is always a risk of facing scams. They therefore recommend checking out a small number of casinos before making a large amount of money. The use of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies such as Monero is common among privacy enthusiasts. But the challenge is balancing anonymity with choosing a reliable platform.


This may be the case. Especially when casinos have tightened their rules by adding KYC procedures, using a VPN or Tor can be questionable. Especially if you are changing currencies. as you said Casinos may question why you are using their services. Especially if you're trying to circumvent government-imposed restrictions this is why it's important to remain neutral. and if the sample is small or short term Wrong numbers may be the simplest solution.

However, it is for those who want to maintain their privacy for the long term or make a large investment. It is worth noting that more complex casinos will eventually follow. Especially with large amounts at stake. In these cases It is important to stick to a reliable platform and follow proper protocols. Testing with a small amount and doing what you recommend should work fine. But for poor performance, transparency (with your own data and KYC requirements) is often enough to avoid problems in the future.

Very true. What is the essence of making gambling a general platform when some persons using a particular browser cannot have full access to the platform? This propelled me to download the Tor browser and funny enough four casinos are opening and working properly there. Unless OP is using an outdated version of Tor that has limited access to some regions.

However, that shouldn't be a problem. Since it's not compulsory that one should rely mainly on one browser. Suppose the Tor browser is so special and peculiar in some way. Then OP can use the Tor browser for very essential purposes which he downloaded it for and then use another browser to do his gambling activities. It's not must sticking to one browser.

I've done that in the past when KYCs aren't a thing. But then, you'll get to be consistent with it and have to stop using it because that could lead you to some questions why you have to use that. If the reasoning is about the restriction placed on the domain or website of the casino done by the government so you have to access them with VPN or TOR, they'll might give that to you and spare you for doing that.

But not all casinos have that implementation and some are very strict specially if the amounts that you're depositing on them is so big and they can sense and track that there's something wrong with your account. If it's just about testing them, there's no problem doing that as you'll just register and test them and later on you'll go away, you don't have to be too wary about that because it's mostly a throwaway account that you'll have to register.

It's true, this is also one of the disadvantage of using TOR. The connection is hectic and too slow.

It's obvious that anyone using Tor is as same of using VPN, and anyone using to access casino, that means that is not interested of having KYC-verification with such casino website, so theirs every possibility that if the bot or team operators of that casino detect that you are using this two tools mentioned above your account maybe restricted, because of the platforms of casino normally want you to be verified so that no illegal act will be tolerate by you, so when they sense or notice that you want to boycott their rules and regulations they will readjust with you, mate, I'm in same opinion with you.

There are some things that are not worth risking and personally I don't see any reason trying to use a tor browser to try a casino when you know that casinos frown against things like VPN and tor browsers are not so different from VPN's as they may also be able to hide some details which some casino's may not be happy with you doing and can see as a reason to block your account immediately, or maybe when you try to make a withdrawal after a win. Every gambler should avoid anything that they think can possibly be used as an excuse by a casino not to pay them after they win.

Definitely, gamblers should be aware of the risks of using a VPN to bypass restrictions. However, for some, it’s their only way to gamble since it's banned in their country. They often acknowledge the risks, like the possibility of their casino account being frozen. It ultimately comes down to risk management on the gambler’s end. And as long as they aren’t legally liable, some might find it worth taking the risk rather than missing out on the entertainment that gambling provides.

Thank you for the education at least I have some  Insight about it now. Although I was thinking they mostly operates the same if not for your clear explanation I didn't have this idea because I thought both operates the same  but now I know TOR is anonymity.

Speed is crucial for a great gambling experience. Most online casinos need around 10-25 Mbps for smooth gameplay, but TOR only provides around 1-3 Mbps. In fact, I just did a speed test with the same ISP....without TOR, I get at least 100 Mbps, but with TOR, I only get 1.9 Mbps. This clearly shows why TOR isn't ideal for online gambling.

Tor and VPN are not entirely the same thing. VPN are using central server but Tor is using nodes which are not centralized but decentralized. Also VPN only connect to the central server and connect you to the site that you want to visit, but Tor node will route your connection to another node, the node will also route your connection to another node before getting to the site that you want to visit. Most sites know how to know Tor and they restrict it than VPN. There are some sites that even allow VPN but does not allow Tor because Tor is more anonymous than VPN.

Not a good experience in my opinion, why would you use TOR in the first place to access a casino if you don't live in Iran or any other f*cked up country in the world, so unless you live in such countries there is no reason to use TOR in the first place. I remember many good exchanges being even advertised in the forum in signature for a long time had a TOR site too, don't know about casinos but I am assuming some of them has. I never use TOR in the first place and when I do, I make sure it is on a VM running a Linux OS in a Linux OS desktop itself plus all other well known configs, you risk a lot with it as some bad circuits may identify you as a wrongdoer because of how TOR works. I would definitely stay away from TOR as it is difficult to get a good experience there unless a casino has fully implemented the .onion site to be accessible in a good fashioned way.

Exactly, we might gain access if it’s allowed, but we’d suffer from slow page loading, and in that case, it’s not suitable for games that need high-speed internet to maintain quality. Still, it’s interesting this question was raised because I'm sure some bettors are looking for ways to access restricted casinos using privacy tools like this. However, it seems this isn’t going to work well if you're aiming for the best gaming experience.

There are lots of privacy focused casinos, you will get more among those accepting crypto deposits and withdrawals. I have not gone through KYC process to gamble across multiple websites I use.

You can use VPNs to access some casinos with no issue. I recommend it for privacy protection, but I do not recommend it as an option of bypassing restrictions the casino has in place for your country. Attempting to gamble from a restricted country with VPN puts you at risk of getting locked out of your account and some casinos may seize your funds you have with them.

From my little experience so far, TOR and VPN are mostly regarded as the same and most gambling site frown it so badly, most of the site when using TOR there could be very possibility to entirely restricts you from having access since you are operating as ghost, same thing applicable with VPN most times when there are huge winning you could be restricted from making withdrawal from the site and may likely asked for additional kyc if that site are kyc'd applicable sites.

Gambling is legal in my country. I prefer to use the IP address directly instead. I have read some terms of service of many gambling sites before, some does not restrict VPN but I have not seen anyone of them that have include the use of TOR. Most centralized sites do not make Tor work and I think that is how gambling sites are. You can use VPN instead if the gambling site do not against VPN but always be ready for KYC at anytime.

I don't know any, sadly.

But I imagine this won't fare well for most casino setups because accessing websites through TOR is typically slow so it works best with simple web pages-- for instance, bitcointalk. Typical casino has so much stuff thus it wouldn't be strange if some parts would break. Personally, I don't think I have the patience to play on TOR due to impending sluggishness lol-- for the record I mostly play instant games.

I tried this thinking it would work like a VPN for gambling, but turns out it doesn’t. I only tested it on one casino, but based on what I’ve read from the replies above, I’d say it’s not allowed anywhere. You can try it yourself, but from my experience, it's better to use a paid VPN if you really want to achieve your goal.

I doubt that there is anything like privacy once you are using an online casino unless you want to play at a non-KYC casino which is very rare. Secondly using TOR for casinos would not be so much of an enjoyable experience as you have to maintain a required screen resolution. Lastly, TOR is almost like VPN and most online casinos are not VPN friendly they can detect this and block your account automatically.

Doesn't the Tor browser simply mask your IP address, concealing your location? Isn't it the same using a Cloudflare DNS? Because if so, I've been using a private DNS because some cryptocurrency casinos can't be accessed in my country, and it's been some time and I haven't faced any issues. I'm guessing the same rule would apply to the Tor browser? From how I see things, I don't think you'll have an issue; however, you might run the risk of being flagged for suspicious activity or multiaccounting in case that same IP address has been used before.
