Well, the Governments that do not take Advantage of things here with gambling because they Really do not want to, we as good players in casinos anywhere in the world by pure logic , it does not seem normal that gambling is prohibited, I have been 20 years ago years more or less they prohibited games, some gambling, and what the Government said was to protect people from addictions and losing money, but I consider that a casino is for elderly people, not for children, not everyone can having a police Officer tell you that this cannot be done because it will go Badly for you , no , things are not like that, things here at that time saw the faces of people as if they were very ignorant, these are the dangers of always say yes to what a ruler says and orders.

However, as in 20 years things have changed a lot, the governments realized that the casinos are companies that are very Profitable , so the casino owners spoke with the government, with their representatives and reached agreements, that they can always have their casino and when they pass their good cut to them , and thus they do not close them, they can earn their money , but the government also has its part, and they are trying to do the same with crypto , but where they have the most control is with mining from btc , although that is something that very few people handle due to the cost of the machines , the only thing is that Electricity here is quite cheap with respect to the world in general.

So the governments worldwide that have improperly banned a country from or casinos, will come to remove it, because the casino is a very big business model and everyone wants to win, who doesn't like to win a lot of money? And now the governments look for money from anywhere, if there is an activity where they can obtain profits, well they take it or have it given to them , Otherwise they knock it down , go to jail or something,  here things are like that, then that It is the bad thing, however, life, quality of life is calmer , everything insofar as gambling is already Allowed.

They can access any casino site they want, including those out of reach. Especially now that there are many VPNs that they can use to access casinos that cannot be accessed from their country. Using a VPN can bypass the restrictions of our country but we have to check with the casino in question to find out if the casino allows us to use a VPN or if we violate the rules. If we break the rules, we have to find another casino that allows the use of VPNs. As for the license, I think many crypto casinos are concerned about licensing issues and have also provided a list of countries where gambling is permitted in their casino.

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.

^Definitely right and I agree.
Instead of taking the risk of illegal gambling, exploring legal and legitimate avenues for entertainment is a wiser choice. If one of us has an opportunity or has the means to travel to countries where gambling is legal, it can provide a safe and enjoyable way to participate in gambling activities without the fear of legal consequences. Regarding VPN usage, while it may offer benefits such as improved connection speed and enhanced privacy, it is important to remember that online casinos have their own policies and restrictions. Some reputable online casinos may indeed allow VPN usage, but only for users from countries that are not on their restricted list. It is crucial to carefully review the terms of use and policies of any online casino to ensure compliance and a secure gaming experience.

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.

it goes to show how a certain government can take advantage of the financial opportunity that they can get from gambling industry. since gambling will always be a part of humanity, why not let them exist, so long they are complying with the regulations set by the government. it is a win-win situation here. just like you said, the government is using the funds collected from this business to help the less-fortunate ones. they can also improve other things like their transpo and living conditions of its people.

I'm from a country that has laws against online gambling, but influencers and even celebrities promote online gambling platforms. The government has these laws and regulations against online gambling but they are not that keen into enforcing the law against possible law-breakers. I'd say that the laws here are pretty lax with regards to online gambling albeit it being an illegal activity. We can pretty much gamble online even without the use of VPN unless the platform explicitly disallows them from using the platform.

This is how our government works, they manage lottery system and now they are planning to create their own online gambling site to meet the demand of the gamblers since its volume rises during the pandemic and now they want to make more money from this. Yes its legal but some sites are still operating illegally, so better to be more careful on choosing where to gamble because not all is legit.

I'm living in a third-world country but gambling is legal here in fact our government is the one running the lottery here and also the casino so, in general, it's not the condition of the country, it is the government's choice to ban the country if they want to, our government-run lotteries and casinos funded our health system the one that benefits is the poor and needy sector.
We cannot say that gambling is for rich people because there are poor people who can play in casinos and other betting platforms like horse racing and other betting platforms, and these venues accept you whether you are rich or poor.

Online casinos are like confetti sprinkled all over the internet, right? And the governments trying to vacuum them up are frankly failing at it. Governments are trash when it comes to understanding the joy and benefits of online gambling, so what's their deal? Ban this, ban that... it's getting old, don't you think?

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.

But in this entire melodrama, the fact remains: if there's a will (and an internet connection), there's a way! Though, it is pretty hilarious that in the age of quantum physics and space tourism, some folks can't figure out how to play a hand of online blackjack from a different country. Ha!

Online casino gambling sites are now widely circulated, almost everyone has access to them and I see absolutely no disturbances that they experience, but maybe in every country there must be several online casinos that have been banned so this requires gamblers to find a way exit and VPN is one of the most used methods. Regarding licensing issues, I don't think this is too much of a problem, for myself I've never asked support about VPN licensing, because I'll just check it myself, if you've used a VPN but still can't access the casino then they definitely don't allow gamblers outside the server to play there. But in my opinion for now there are lots of online casinos that we can access, even though there are some limitations,
but this is still good and I still do the same method, don't rely too much on VPN because there are still many that I can access.

And rather than make things difficult for himself, the gambler should find another casino where he doesn't need to use a VPN. But if he still wants to use a VPN, he should ask his casino through customer support about using a VPN at the casino. And if the customer support says that the casino allows a VPN, he can still use a VPN. Otherwise, he can keep looking until he finds a casino that allows VPN use. But it's true what you say that gamblers don't seem to heed or care about such a ban and still use VPN to access the casino.

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.

So we should also realize that if a casino prohibits players from certain countries from playing gambling in its casino, we shouldn't force ourselves to try it and even use a VPN. Otherwise, we will be punished by the casino, and they will not allow us to visit the casino. Casinos can simply block your connection to their casinos because they also have to monitor players from countries they ban on their list.

We can still look for other casinos that allow us to play gambling at their casinos without using a VPN. Or we can also use a VPN to play gambling at the casino because they allow it. But we must comply if there is a prohibition against using a VPN.

Unlocking the ability to access casinos using VPNs can only work if a certain casino allows the use of VPN and also doesn't require KYC verification, because if your country has banned gambling, casinos will most likely put your country under restricted countries and they won't allow players from your country to use their services, so if someone uses a VPN to access a platform and then asked to complete KYC verification, they can't do it since their country is not listed.

Also, it is never a recommended way to access a casino using a VPN because you might make a deposit, and win some money, but then if they object after finding out that you have been using a VPN for accessing their services, they might not let you withdraw the money and confiscate the funds.

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.

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.

This is more like a list of all American states that allow gambling along with a few other countries, but it's missing a huge amount of actual countries where gambling is allowed. Like the UK and vast amounts of Europe. The small list of other countries is more like jurisdictions for sale that allow you to set up a licensed casino for a fee. It would probably have been easier to list the states where it is not allowed. It would be better to know more specifics of the different state laws if they are substantial, but frankly the whole US system is a mess and it'd be better if they legalized it at a single federal level instead of having so much difference across the country and a race to the bottom.

Underground gambling or basically house gambling is possibly happening there. But as you've just said, it's exclusive to a very few circle of people and before they allow one, there's probably a tough process for one to be part of it because they'll never know if that person is just an agent and could try to track them down and will report it to the authorities that they're having some underground gambling happening somewhere else.

With the internet, it's been easier. Even if their telcos will ban the websites, you're right that there is still a way for them to access it through VPN or any tools that can block that access made by their own telco or government. It's easy for them to do that by just availing those paid tools which will surely be bought by them if they can't resist to gamble online.

If there is a law strictly prohibiting any gambling-related activities, then this must be faithfully followed in order to prevent any legal conflicts/problems arising.

If the law imposes a fine, penalty and/or jail time, then this should definitely be avoided at all cost as this would be dangerous if found guilty thereof. There are reasons on why a country imposes a ban on gambling despite its positive effects on the economy. Like what you have mentioned, most Islamic and religious countries are on the view of absolutely prohibiting gambling.

While there may be some users who do underground gambling, this should definitely be exercised in caution in order to avoid any future legal problems.
