No worries, no offense taken, I'm here to seek advice and actually, you're right. I just checked their TOS and it doesn't mention anything for VPN usage, but does mention that multi-accounting is a bannable offense "Only one Account for each household, IP, PC is allowed". On top of that, it also mentions that if you're using their site from a restricted country, you're practically breaking their TOS.

"3.7 You are aware that the right to access and use the website and any products there offered, may be considered illegal in certain countries..., or other restricted jurisdictions (“Restricted Jurisdiction”) as informed by us from time to time. By using the Website you confirm you are not a resident in a Restricted Jurisdiction."

On top of that, I'd rather not use a VPN because I tend to forget to turn it off, and I'd rather not have multiple IPs showing on certain websites.
If you are that afraid to lose whatever funds you have in the account, you could try to contact the customer service by using a VPN without logging into your account and explain your situation to them, and tell them that you only want to get your money back, in that case maybe they could allow you to connect from a VPN to get your money and then you can play in whatever casino that is not restricted by your ISP, or play in a casino which does not mind their users to connect through a VPN.
If you are really that in doubt then you could always ask out on  the platform you are tending to play.In case if you cant find it in their terms and conditions but mostly its really stated there thats why
its really important that you should have some time on reading it up at least you would really be that aware on what are the rules of this site. If you are eagerly tending to play on the site but
having that kind of restriction then you could always have the time on asking them and if its prohibited then you wont really be having any choice but to deal off with other sites which do allow.
Yeah its sad when you dont able to play on the site you do like but you dont have any choice unless if you could risk out on using VPN despite of being against on terms then its your choice.

As others have mentioned, it's blocked due to my country's legal legislation, which sucks. There's not much to do at this point but to take the risk and use a VPN. In the worst case scenario, I'll get banned and lose any funds I have on the account, fortunately it's only a little. I don't see any other possible way to get around the block.

I'm sorry if I'm being a little insensitive but if in your country they are banning casinos then that means you will be breaking the TOS of the casino of your subscription, maybe it would be better for you to research better if really in your country they banned all casinos due to some specific law that has been passed or they are just exaggerating (taking advantage of the law) and are putting many casinos on the blacklist without any need, because I don't see how all online casinos in the world will have to ask for a license in your country to be able to operate or in your country they just don't want casinos? because from what I've read I don't understand why they are now blocking gambling sites when until 2020 they have a proposed law that was more or less acceptable

Gambling sites blocked by ISPs is a very common thing in my country because gambling is illegal in my country.

 Shocked

God in heaven, I thought my country was the worst in the world, at the end of the day it can still be surpassed by some other country. how can a government dictate what people can and cannot do with their own money? something I don't understand. well in my country gambling is legal, at least that's the only good thing about it

Hello there,
I tried accessing TrustDice today, which is one of the first cryptocurrency casino's I've been introduced into, but it wouldn't load, claiming that "Connection is not private".
When you access TrustDice, are you directed to complete the CAPTCHA.

I tried to access the TrustDice site and complete the captcha, it seems normal without any problems.

https://trustdice.win/


I think the current TrustDice site, is restricting user access in your country, my guess, otherwise my advice is don't use a VPN for login access.

Try to access it again, if you are directed to complete a further captcha, or try to contact them on their telegram: TrustDice, and ask if they restrict it for your area, ask for a solution other than access via VPN.

^ It should be on your country's jurisdiction towards gambling casinos, those internet providers also follows government jurisdiction so if gambling is prohibited in your place, there is no way to access gambling casino, not unless you will use a VPN which is not a good decision to me. 
The site that you talking about is working fine with me, I can able to access it and I think, your country did it that is why you can't access that site.
VPN? No, this is very risky and it could be your fund trap on the site when your account will freeze due to the VPN you have used or read the ToS carefully.
If I were you, find a gambling casino that did not restrict in your place.

This is true. Accessing the website while your ISP restrict it by default only means you are breaking the law. Maybe Roobet is not yet categorized as online gambling site that's why it's still working  except the others but soon it will be restricted once you keep using it.

@OP, Is this your first time to encounter this issue? Is there any recent implemented law in your country that restrict online gambling?

LoyceV on the road. Or couch.
I'm not going to deposit any money of course, and only resort to use my existing balance
Easy: get a VPN. Mullvad.net (currently my favourite) accepts crypto payments at any amount, you can literally pay a few cents for only a few hours.

Building my own Dreams!
Hello there,
I tried accessing TrustDice today, which is one of the first cryptocurrency casino's I've been introduced into, but it wouldn't load, claiming that "Connection is not private". I thought something was fishy at the moment, but quickly realized that it was actually blocked by my ISP.



How should I deal with such an issue? I certainly thought of using a VPN, but I only have a free one, meaning that it could easily be used by another person on the website simultaneously, which could potentially lead to a ban. Stake and Fortunejack are also banned, after making a few guesses, Roobet still works fine.

It should be issue with your country’s laws.
I mean your country have imposed some specific laws to access the sites.
And for this reason, your ISP might have strict orders to block the web sites that violates the law.
An alternate option for this is to change your ISP if you are eagerly want to play on the site.
Moreover don’t use any type of VPN(paid), as many sites ban accounts if they play through VPNs.
Moreover you can still playing in sites that is accessible through your ISP.

There is no other way to avoid this except by changing our own IP with VPN or by using mirror link of the casino (if any).
Using free VPN is not recommended, it is better if you buy the premium one, I dont think it is that expensive so I believe it is not a big deal for any gambler because what they spend in gambling is absolutely bigger than what they need to pay for VPN.

I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.
Switch ISP's or if it's a country-wide ban, switch countries use VPN but know the risks of using it first and foremost. Not to mention that when they ask KYC details about you and you were found using VPN, they might just revoke your account since afaik, the casino also has an official list of countries that have banned them so technically avoiding that ban also is against them (or their TOS, not really sure which or how to call it). Maybe double-check with your ISP first, it may have been just a connection error that was linked to that page, who knows, bugs could happen.

Farewell, Leo. You will be missed!
You already know the risk, so it's up to you now if you will take that risk.

Using VPN to bypass the restriction could be called cheating, so once the site knows that is what you are doing, then they can always implement a ban on your account and worse is you'll not be able to withdraw your funds, so just carefully evaluate the risk, if you can take it, then go and enjoy using VPN.
The ban isn't issued by the gambling platform. His internet service provider is restricting OPs access to the site.


This is what I would do.
Contact the support, preferably via email so you are left with written proof. Explain to them that your ISP is blocking access to their site. Ask them if players from your country are allowed to gamble on their casino. Ensure that you read their TOS as well just to be safe that there are no territorial restrictions where you live. Ask them if you are allowed to use a VPN to bypass your ISPs restriction. If they say you can, great. If not, find another casino and do the same.

You can of course disregard everything I have said and just gamble with a VPN, but you could then get into the kind of trouble you mentioned yourself where you are accused of multi-accounting, etc. Save the email from support as proof they allowed you to use VPN (if that indeed happens), so you can show it to them if they limit or ban your account due to VPN usage.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope
You can avoid being blocked by changing ISPs, or playing at alternative casinos until eventually your ISP filters all the casino sites.

Some casinos have actually studied the gambling rules in their biggest customer countries and they still tolerate the use of VPNs to keep reaching customers from sites blocking countries. What you need to worry about using a VPN is that if the casino company blocks your country, you may not be able to recover the locked funds.

Sorry but it looks like your country is banned from that gambling site.

There's no other way but to bypass that restriction, however, you need to understand that you are violating the TOS, and if they found out you are violating, as per their rule, they can ban your account and freeze your assets. Now, if you are okay with that, then you should not worry about using VPN.

VPN is for privacy, but you are using it to bypass restrictions, which is not allowed per TOS.

Be nice!

You have been warned. Once you have issues to the casino while your ISP added the casino in thier blacklist, you will find it hard to claim since you are from a blacklisted country.

The ISP seemvery  particular in banning casinos, when I tried visiting trustdice today, it asked me to solve captcha. Does that mean the casino is flagged or compromised?
I've been warned, but what else can I do? I'm not going to deposit any money of course, and only resort to use my existing balance, but there's no other choice, thus, I'm willing to take the risk, what else could I possibly do?

Regarding your issue, I don't think the casino has been flagged, it's probably just a security check to tackle spam.
Knowingly that you've been warned from a gambling website and is still willing to take risk, then the next possible move to use VPN to access the website and continue playing. Also, it is rare to encounter an issue where another users will be using the same IP with free VPN. However, using free VPN will make your account more suspicious as you will have different IP every time you use it. So you should be prepared when asked for a KYC check or any possible instance where you might be caught by the website.

Anyways, Casinos asking you to solve captcha doesn't necessarily mean anything other than avoiding spam and possibly use of bots.

Have you tried changing the DNS on your device to something else? Sometimes it can solve the problem of being blocked by your ISP but I don't know what will happen to your account at that ISP.

Using a VPN can be done but before you use a VPN, you better ask each casino you want to play at first because the policies of each casino are different. To use a VPN, I recommend using a premium VPN because it can provide many IPs that you can choose from. But to be on the safe side, you don't need to visit the casino if your ISP is blocking your connection there.
Try using it this way, I also initially couldn't load Fortunejack but after using it it can be reopened without a VPN.

How To Access Sportsbet.io or any kind of gambling without VPN

Usually, casinos allow using a VPN as long as it doesn't become an abuse and it's better to use a premium VPN instead of a free one, but it's better to ask first, but if you don't want to risk too much, another casino might be an alternative.

Supposedly, Gaming Commission in Greece blocks unauthorized gambling services, not gambling all-together. However, I remember quite a few casinos being blocked in the past. Although, those that involved cryptocurrency weren't affected, till now I guess. The blocked site list, which is available online, now includes a wide range of crypto casinos, many of which can be found throughout this forum.

There's no way around your issue aside from using a VPN or if you're down to make the effort of going to another country just to bypass the restriction.

If you're willing to go and take the risk with the VPN then you just have to hope that they're lenient when it comes to their rules like Stake since they could easily bring it up and flag your account.

I think all big casinos should have mirror link to prevent from this issues, it's just funny government ban gambling site while the country is legal to gambling.
This is a good solution but it's unlikely for trustdice to have a mirror unless they're popular enough to have thousands of regular players from different countries.

Are you live in restricted countries of these casinos? if yes then you should give up and looking to other casino.

If you not come from restricted countries, then you can check on their TOS whether they allow VPN or not. If you doubt, you can ask on their thread about your case, obviously they will help you.

Stake do have mirror link, so you can avoid of getting ISP block https://stakemirror.com/
