Different from the continent of Southeast Asia, the rules and laws in these countries vary, that's because they are mostly Muslim, so it's no wonder you don't find the gambling industry legally on the continent of Southeast Asia.

indeed, as a whole, parts of Southeast Asia strongly oppose gambling because it is very contrary to religious norms and state regulations. However, this cannot rule out the possibility of people not gambling. And lately I have seen so many circulation of illegal online gambling sites that are very disturbing to the public and not a few people have been deceived by illegal online gambling sites. With the large number of illegal gambling sites circulating and the people who play in them, this makes gambling activities uncontrolled.
And in my opinion, even though this is contrary to religion and state regulations, so that gambling activities can be better controlled, legalization of gambling is very necessary.

Obviously the casinos have to follow regulations but they can set up their own rules. And its their decision whether they allow VPNs or not. Either way, VPN is a cause for suspicion and unless the person behind the casino account has verified him or herself through KYC verification, the casino will be keeping any eye on any withdrawal activities. And that is really where they get you. They can let you gamble away your money all you like, but the moment you win and want to withdraw... Well, just hope you did not break any casino rules (terms and conditions) and that you are gambling from a country which is allowed. Otherwise you will never get your winnings. But you might be eligible for a refund of deposited money. Although I am not sure about that.

 

Most of the casino will create their own rule based on their knowledge,the casino will hire the people with some gambling knowledge.So they create the rules for the casino based on the old casino experience.So the rules of each gambling sites will have some common rules like verify the kyc to withdrew the winning money.Mandatory of the kyc verification before usage of their website,the second rule will be VPN.The gamblers will do scam attempt by using the VPN most of the time.So the casino will ban the account which uses the VPN to access the casino.The withdrew of money will be monitored by the gambling owners to avoid of money laundering.

VPNs are like digital escape ropes. If one doesn't work, switch, shuffle, and try another. But also, sometimes it's not even about the VPNs, sometimes it's just the casino being a little picky. They want to choose their players like someone trying to pick the best apple from a cart.

It's not that casinos are picky but the moment they applied for a license, expect that they also need to consider the legality of gambling in those countries they have put on their restricted list. Not sure about the full terms of that said term but it's part of the regulatory that casinos accept why they have put several restricted countries.

Using VPN is not a big deal and it was allowed in most cases, however, terms are terms and if the IP was detected in one of those restricted locations, it will be subject to account banned. Gambling sites are business and as much as possible they all want those apples to come on their site but since they are regulated, no choice but to follow and comply with the regulations.

Obviously the casinos have to follow regulations but they can set up their own rules. And its their decision whether they allow VPNs or not.

All nations listed above have good reputations for providing licenses to legit sportsbooks and online casinos. Costa Rica, especially, has licensed legitimate online sportsbooks and casinos.
Believe it or not, the fact is, some countries in the continents of Europe, America and Australia have different rules and laws for the gambling industry, whether it's a physical casino or online, it's something that many people know, maybe.

Different from the continent of Southeast Asia, the rules and laws in these countries vary, that's because they are mostly Muslim, so it's no wonder you don't find the gambling industry legally on the continent of Southeast Asia.

However, despite this I am happy to live and gamble in the continent of Southeast Asia, where many countries are there, online casinos are not banned and do not require, users gamble at the risk for themselves, legal is not and illegal is not, of course many states of the continent of Southeast Asia are not blacklisted online casinos.

it's just that there are others online here among us who run illegally or operate illegally, there are a lot of them here especially on social media platforms that are endorsed by well-known influencers in our country that I think the others don't know that it's illegal because after influencers only pay them for what they promote. so poor their other followers who follow and believe in them.

Casinos and gambling sites that are legal have gotten so much endorsement from influential personalities lately and I think this is across the country. For soccer betting, those known footballers have been used as ambassadors in their countries including mine and that brings a kind of vibes into the game and takes away the fear of illegality. I think it is a strategy for these casino companies to include those influential to create the feeling of partnership with them.

Looks like a lot of gambling licenses created in curacao and panama. Maybe as a small country, they more easily allowed gambling to increase state revenue. It's a great idea and there's nothing wrong with that

Even though many countries prohibit gambling, including mine, that doesn't mean there isn't gambling. Gambling sites are now very numerous and that makes many young people in my country actively gamble. If internet access is prohibited or sites are banned, we can use a VPN, it's not difficult

Here in our country, there are casinos owned by our government that operate legally under the charity program, such as lottery and casino pagcor, when it comes to private gambling and there are also many that are legally allowed by our government even online .

it's just that there are others online here among us who run illegally or operate illegally, there are a lot of them here especially on social media platforms that are endorsed by well-known influencers in our country that I think the others don't know that it's illegal because after influencers only pay them for what they promote. so poor their other followers who follow and believe in them.

sounds like a country of politicians... is that PH?? hahahha lol. I'm catching what you are trying to say. Because here in our country, ads and adverstisement are very effective to most people.  They easily get caught with easy money. So even when they don't know the whole info, they will risk. Sometimes, they also misunderstood what is on the advertisments that is why they also get scammed. I don't know if that's arrogance or just laziness to research. But I believe the government has to have more strict regulation with in terms of gambling.

Lottery are indeed a very good source of income for the government to cater those who are in need.
I am not against with this type of gambling as it can really attract a lot of bettors, and at the same time,
they can help the government to raise funds. Maybe a lot of people are hoping to hit the jackpot, hence the number of bettors.
But yes, we can't totally eradicate illegal sites as there are bettors who are still using it for personal reasons such as
avoiding taxes, anonymity, and other reasons they think are avoided using legal gambling sites.
The lottery can invite more people and not just bettors, especially if the lottery is held in public places so that many people will be interested in participating. And when it's collected, the money will become more so that the government can distribute it to places that need it. And people who win will also be very happy because the prize they get is probably the prize they have dreamed of for a long time.

But if it is an illegal site, it is still difficult to eradicate because it is possible that the illegal site is operating outside a country where gambling is prohibited or there is no cooperation whatsoever with other countries. They just operate the site and invite lots of people to gamble on it even though they have a list of countries that prohibit visiting it.

If it were for charity, the lottery would get government approval even though it is gambling. And many other examples can link the lottery with something that is allowed by the government so that people can buy tickets freely.

But it is true that illegal casinos are still operating, making it difficult for the government to track them down. And that's what allows people to gamble freely in these illegal casinos. But its whereabouts are not easy to trace because only a few gamblers know where it is.

I live in Illinois and let me tell you gambling has absolutely blown up here, both in physical form as well as online.  Honestly if you drive 2 miles from my home in any direction, you'll find at least 10-15 places that have video poker/slot machines or simply parlors within that amount of space.  It's crazy really.  Anyways we can use a host of online websites ( I even heard ESPN is opening their own) but I still prefer to use sites like ones we are advertising on here for.
Wow, it is really amazing how other country has this kind of legality, here you can see many gambling site as well, illegal cockpit , illegal gambling and so on but the local govt sometimes allow them because they are getting under the table money so it is not good for the image of the country to have that. We have legal gambling casinos here , but most people prefer illegal ones because they can avoid taxes.

A gambler should be aware of the laws regarding gambling in their country so they do not get in trouble. Wanting to gamble ignorantly without any idea of the status of gambling laws in your country is not a smart move because ignorance of the law is not an excuse in court of law.


even though online gambling is prohibited in some countries, especially in Muslim-majority countries, there are still many people who gamble and don't really think about the fines or penalties they might receive if they are caught.

especially since online gambling platforms are getting easier to access and use, people seem to be able to play online gambling without worrying that the authorities will catch them, because they can use VPNs and use crypto for deposits, all of this can be done from their smartphones without being able to tracked by authorities.

They are brave because they can safely play online since you can play anonymously using crypto currency while the casino usually return the balance of the said players when they are caught playing from restricted country. Government will not gonna waste their time catching this small fish playing online casino that why many players insist on breaking their law since there’s no one being caught afaik.

Online casino makes gambling possible for those country that ban the use of it due to their religious conflict. It’s very hard to fight this if you are part of the government since it’s very accessible in the internet.

I believe in a country like USA even elders don't have much difficult learning and accessing smartphones, tablets and computers to gamble online.
I don't think it's only in the US, but in most countries, in general, be it minors or the elderly who can definitely access the internet or smartphones to be able to do what they want on smartphones, like gambling and so on.
After all, the development of the era has also been very fast and technology has been studied by everyone, from small children to the elderly, even for now accessing the internet has also advanced where many conveniences can be done.
For example, in the country where I live, gambling has mushroomed quite widely, even though government regulations clearly prohibit gambling, but because of online casinos, gamblers ranging from teenagers to the elderly have started to get involved in online gambling until they actually get active there.

It's curious businessmen are still investing in physical gambling machines nowadays in high volume, as we can simply bet online from our personal electronic devices. Besides being more accessible for gamblers, it's also cheaper and more cost benefit for businessmen as well to run virtual companies. So, why are they going through the physical route yet? Are they focusing on the elderly public or what else?

That's why if we are in an illegal country, we don't need to try to play gambling but there are still many who do and most of them use VPNs to get past those restrictions. But if their ISP or the government catches them, they can be caught under the pretext of breaking the gambling rules. And if that happened, they would also find it difficult to explain.

They can get entertainment without having to gamble in many ways. But it depends on whether they want to do it or not. And because gambling can provide a different sensation from other entertainment, that's what makes them play gambling.
Each casino has their own jurisdiction so that if there are gamblers who continue to access the site using a VPN and it is clearly stated that VPN use is prohibited, this will only make it difficult for the gambler himself where accounts can be banned and all existing balances will be frozen by casino team.
It's best not to try to violate the prohibition rules.

But most gamblers really don't care about such prohibitions and they still do what they think can give them pleasure and satisfaction.
When someone gambles for fun and satisfaction, they might not care about winning or making withdrawals since they are not in the casino to win money but they are there to have fun, so even if they win some money, they might just keep it inside their account and use that money to gamble every time they feel like it. Otherwise, one should obviously care about the rule that restricts them from making withdrawals since if they ask for it when using the casino through a VPN, they can get in trouble.

Someone should basically not gamble at platforms that are restricted in their country or platforms that don't accept players from the country they are from. It's better to just look for casinos that are available within the same jurisdiction to avoid any problems when the casino asks for KYC verification.

there are still many people who already know that gambling is prohibited in their country. They still try to gamble online and even use VPNs to bypass restrictions from their country. And even if they find a reputable casino, they should also ensure that it allows their users to use a VPN. Otherwise, that user will only get into trouble from his casino. But maybe there are still people who can play gambling in peace, even though they come from countries where gambling is prohibited and also use VPNs to gamble in online casinos.
No, you can't be in peace if you are gambling from illegal countries. There is still a thought of what if you got caught? What will be the consequences of it? But, I am sure it's going to be tough. So, if I were you guys who are planning to gamble illegally, it's better to not do it.

There might still be other ways to entertain your self but if you can afford to travel in other countries, this might be a good idea to gamble there legally. I know some reputable online casinos that allows VPN but I think its this is only for the countries who are not on their restricted list. VPN still has a benefit and that is it can speed up a slow connection. It can as well enhance our privacy.
I guess the looming thought of getting caught is also a factor why people continue to gamble illegally. Cause let's just use the Philippines as an example. It's very lenient to the point of complacency when it comes to gambling, allowing multiple forms of gambling whether centralized or localized. Yet people still lean towards illegal forms of gambling (not even illegal games at this point just illegal setups lol) for some reason. Some attribute it to the fact that they feel like centralized casinos rig their games against the player so they lean towards casinos that aren't licensed, another would be the fact that they the looming thought of getting caught is just exhilarating to them, which is all sorts of weird shit lol.

Though it is not a smart move and a person shouldn't gamble if their country or state doesn't allow it, a lot of people living in countries that have strict rules against gambling still gamble in the dark, and ironically, there are still ways available for them to gamble without the state knowing about it. These platforms that allow citizens to gamble without a proper license since gambling is banned within the country are always in the verge of getting caught and punished but they never stop only because it makes them a lot of money.

We all know how profitable a gambling platform can be for the owners, and if that net profit that they get gets tax-free as well, that is like icing on the cake for them. So, since the authorities don't know about them, they don't pay any taxes and all the money they get from gamblers do in their pockets.

Perhaps there are a few countries that have restrictions due to cultural and social issues, but the vast majority prohibit gambling, because if it were legal, technically you would have losses because they would not charge the relevant taxes.

Faced with this situation, they prefer to prohibit legally, but that does not prevent the above from happening, illegal gambling is a big problem, but the dichotomy is that where it is legal, the rate of not paying taxes is as high as when it is illegal.

To make it prohibited for some countries is simply turning a blind eye or ignoring a problem.

This is the lottery situations in my country though you can’t find any machines outside the establishments because of security purposes and in a developing country, being on a safe place is a must. When it comes to legality, the requirements to operate legally is not that hard and as long as you have the money to start with you can probably enter this kind of business and we have numbers of sites already.
