Crypto gambling keeps growing faster than Fiat gambling, it's good to see that the masses now favours crypto for gambling than using Fiat but the only issue I have with crypto is the security, data breach and co so I want to know if hiding my IP on a crypto gambling website is secure? I am going with a premium sub of express VPN. If you think otherwise please tell me.

Data breach doesn't necessarily mean your IP address alone, it includes your KYC documents or any other data you provided for the cryptocurrency casino to get verified. But there is no difference with fiat and crypto online casino in this situation and moreover Fiat casino mean you also added bank details which is highly sensitive than IP or your name.

But you don't need to worry, the cryptocurrency casinos have high security standards and I don't remember much of data breach on a casino than centralized exchanges.

I guess only a few online casinos are really secure and insured in case of a data breach and hack. Also, much better to use VPN that has TOR on it since I think it will surely hide the IP address and cannot be tracked down.

And I would add that, even if there is no mention to the usage of VPNs in the ToS, if you are willing to gamble a considerable amount, you should take into account that they can change the ToS at any time, not necessarily notifying in advance. It seems that there is a cost if you want to stay private.

The most important thing in data breaches is the loss of your KYC but many sites don't store that or store it on another server, not the one that manages logins and stuff, so this data is rarely lost.
The second thing you lose is your account name and password that can be used to take over and withdraw money from your account.
The third thing is your email address that can be used to spam you or further attacks where the hacker checks the password used on your gambling account with other services where you've registered.

The IP address is the least important thing. Usually it's not even worth hiding because it only reveals your ISP, not you as the user. That means they'll find out the city from which you've connected and the company that provides access, that's all.

If you want total security when playing in crypto gambling sites then yeah, you should use a VPN. And if you are using a premium one that is the best you can do. I usually use cryptostorm free version and im good to go as it is far better than most premium vpn services.

Technically, using VPN has really not much nothing to do in terms of crypto-related security concerns.

I also don't see the benefits of using a VPN when playing on a crypto-gambling site, especially reason is about security. Isn't it good that our account will be detected on where we currently play to prevent future problems? Accounts recorded being logged in different countries or regions might result in an account being tagged as having an unusual activity.

Another reason also why users are using VPN is to be able to access their preferred casinos under Game Providers that restrict a certain region but users are allowed on that gambling site. For example, the famous Pragmatic play is not accessible in some Asian countries but some users are able to access games under this game provider with the use of a VPN.

The casino has the right to change its TOS anytime so it's necessary to ask for their support regarding this matter than risk your funds without any assurance in the future. You can stay in private without notifying them but you'll still face the risks once they catch you so it's better to seek assurance than regret losing your account in the end. One of the reasons why many players get banned is because of breaking the TOS so it's something that we have to be careful of.

Absolutely, a gambler should have a good idea about the gambling platform before gambling. It is foolish to be indifference to a matter of caution. If you don't have a good idea about the gambling platform then you can't expect success in gambling. If gambling is not possible on a particular platform then it is best not to use VPN. Those gamblers should gamble on the gambling sites that are available. As far as I know most of the sites allow using VPN except few. But no one should take the risk.

I also have to agree with what the others said and better ask the support of the casino you're playing at if they allow VPN because some casinos are very strict with using VPN and you don't want to risk losing your account that way. On the other hand, there are a bunch of casinos that somehow don't care much about VPN regardless of their TOS so you might get away with it for now. However, there's still a risk that the casino might use it against you in the future once you catch their attention through a big win or something similar.

There are many gambling sites that prohibit the use of VPN. Despite disallow VPN some gamblers try to gamble using VPN and they become success to gamble at that particular sites. But even if they think they are successful in this situation, they are not actually. Those gamblers accounts are at the highest risk. Authority can freeze those accounts at any time. Also, it may happen that the account is active when you lose the bet. But when a big amount is won, your account may be declared canceled at that moment. Then they can restrict you within the rules. So check ToS carefully.

Each casino has their own TOS and most of the casinos that I have played with don't allow the usage of VPNs. You mighr face the consequences later on which might also affect your funds. However, there are still casinos that allow it but you must still read their terms of service carefully. There are really countries that are restricted and aren't allowed to play in some casinos but you only have to look for reputable casinos where you could play freely.

a lot of crypto casinos that I know prohibit the use of VPN(as it can be used to abuse a casino by creating multiple accounts) so you need to be sure that the casino you are going to gamble on allows the use of VPN. I've seen many gamblers come here in the forum and post their complaints against a casino because they were banned/blocked for using VPN.

It's just fine to use VPN if you feel you are much more comfortable doing that because of your own security concerns.

But as others also mentioned and suggest, always be aware of the Terms and Services of that site because as far as I know, the use of a VPN isn't always allowed in some cases. Better be safe than sorry.

There are prohibited regions on some gambling sites and might be a risk on your account if you will used a VPN server in a prohibited region.

it's important to note that using a VPN alone is not a foolproof way to protect your online activity. While a VPN can help to hide your IP address and encrypt your internet traffic, it is not a guarantee that your data will be completely secure. There are other measures you can take to further protect your online privacy and security, such as using strong, unique passwords and enabling two-factor authentication when available.

What are you afraid of? Is online gambling illegal in your country? Then crypto gambling will benefit you. You don’t have to go nuts with your security. The gov won’t really care unless you make some very obvious mistakes like sending crpyto directly from your exchange to the casino. If you use a private wallet, nobody will know about it.

If you have other, more serious concerns then crypto may or may not be the answer. That depends on what you are trying to achieve.

Crypto gambling keeps growing and there's no doubt about that. But there's no accurate link or source we can refer to that its growth is much higher than fiat gambling. Besides, there are crypto-gambling sites that accept fiat payment, and might be some fiat gambling sites accept crypto* (anyone can correct me on this). How can we compare it?

Referring to your concern, I think things shouldn't be complicated. There's no such thing as when you play or visit a crypto-gambling site, possible security and data breaches will happen simply in an instant. Be vigilant in browsing the web and make sure your used device or gadgets are secured enough to deal with any kind of malicious software and related stuff.

There are crypto-gambling sites that allow the use of VPN but to make sure that you are not violating some part of the Site's Terms and Conditions it's really necessary and mandatory to find the terms related to the use of VPN.

It's not really the IP that most gamblers are afraid of getting breached of but the KYC data that the casino collects from you.
You can see some users have also not used a VPN for gambling purposes, probably thier only concern is enjoying the game also. As long as I can bet and try playing some casino games, I can work with it.

If you are not violating your country's law about gambling, there is no need for you to hide the IP.

As most people who delve into systems would say, there's no system that is perfectly protected. There is and will be a way for one to be accessed, but most casinos that are known here in the forum have no known issues with that afaik, so I don't think you need to mind it that much.

Another thing to note is as others have said, VPN is banned from most casinos since they don't allow users from other specific countries. There has been a lot of examples where users mistakenly accuse the casino of scamming them, but it turns out they're accessing the casino from a banned country (Check a few in Scam Accusations). Premium or not, they will find see a way to notice your using VPN, not to mention it can't exactly help you if the casino asks for KYC (which most do nowadays).

There is no need to use a VPN if your country is allowed in the ToS of the casino you want to play.Even in countries that ban casinos they ban them on the basis of the word "bet" in their URL,so as long as the casino you may want to play do not has part that term as their URL for example "stake.com" and your country is allowed to be part of them,then there is absolutely no reason why to use VPN-s at all.

Some casinos allow VPN-s only from countries which are not allowed to play in their website because the license the casino has does not allow the specific country to be part of that,that is the only case when using a VPN is advisable,in all other cases it does not make any sense for me.

to be honest, I have never used a VPN to access any gambling sites and have never hidden my IP, but before you do that you should look at the casino regulations you choose whether to prohibit the use of a VPN, if not you can use it because every casino must have different rules The only thing you have to do is look at the rules of the casino you want to play at
