Which country is this? Most probably they want to boost the local casinos instead of foreign casinos so they can collect more taxes. Restrictions are changing and every country have it, know if its illegal in your place to avoid any problem those bigger countries really don’t want to tolerate illegal gambling and of course they don’t need much to collect taxes since they are already a rich country.

Gambling is not legal in my country, but many people continue to gamble even though they face severe penalties. The government prohibits gambling because it adheres to religious norms where gambling is prohibited in religion, but the government cannot prevent the growth of gamblers so far even though they block all online gambling sites.

Granted, taxes can help the government collect extra cash as state revenue, but in any country where gambling is prohibited, a gambling tax would not be expected. I can gamble even if it's banned in my country it won't stop gamblers altogether.

The funny thing about this is that gambling is only illegal if the state doesn't own it, I mean a desolate North Korea still has casinos because they know how big of a money maker it is so they make sure that they're taking a big piece of that gambling pie. UAE if I recall has lotteries so this just goes to show that it's only illegal for certain number of people and the ruling class will decide if it's applicable to them or not.

Same with bitcoin being illegal because a government cannot own it but they can still get some benefits with it if they accept it same goes with gambling where they can file a tax on those gambling casinos. Are the countries on the list dont want to make money anymore? But, I think I understand because countries on the list rich already except maybe to Cambodia.

I have seen videos on Cambodia before were their living is very simple. Were people work on are farms and fishing areas but I wonder why they do not allow gambling when gambling can improve their country, same with other more poorer countries where most gambling companies are allowed.

There is something more interesting here and is the restrictions. There are countries where it is legal but there are restrictions, that is licenses are granted for different places or cities.

In the same way, some countries what have it as illegal but they have a list of what or what you can bet on.

In the same way, although in some places betting is legal, you cannot bet on sports.

If you manage to gather that information with the development of this post it would be magnificent. In fact I think it was in New York, I'm not sure if sports betting is legal again ....

Online Sports Betting Is Officially Legal In NY.^{Jan 8, 2022}

Quote

New Yorkers can now place bets on sporting events from their own home. Or in a bar. Or on the street. Or, well, anywhere in the state.

The state Gaming Commission gave the green light to four mobile betting operators to begin taking wagers Saturday, making New York at least the 18th state to permit online sports gambling in some form.

In most of these countries, gambling simply comes back in another form.

E.g. in Japan, there is a ton of Pachinko parlors which pose as some sort of innocent gaming place but in reality is just another casino establishment.

This is why banning gambling is so pointless - you will simply have other forms of more inefficient forms of gambling happen in the country anyway.

This is just the aftermath of gambling restrictions. one thing most of this country's leaders fail to understand is that you can't cage your citizens giving restrictions to gambling would only reform the process. it will be so polished that believing the process is a form of gambling becomes a debate. in the case of Japan i think pachinko it must have been debated severally to if its a gambling act or a mere arcade game

The citizens of many countries understand the absurdity of the laws of their government, but because of the dictatorship of the government they cannot do anything about it. The authorities always play by the rules of big business and do not care about the opinion of the people. The only thing the authorities are afraid of is organized criminal gangs, which in most cases run illegal gambling. That is why gambling cannot be eradicated.

As far as I know until now regarding the existence of illegal and legal casinos. Facts are biased and accessible even if prohibited. That's why gambling can't be stopped, especially if the government gets incentives from casinos as one of the operational taxes. If you refer to the policies of several countries that prohibit gambling, of course in general it is illegal. But keep in mind that the government is also not a hypocrite in matters of state finances which when a casino offers to provide more guarantees and extras, inevitably goes beyond the amendments while operating in the underworld. In conclusion, this is just a game, to find out how to avoid a public investigation.

Yes, VPN or Tor are a good choice to play at online casinos from countries and areas where gambling online is prohibited. However, it is important to choose highly reputable VPN services for this. It is also more risky than playing at offshore casinos. Although there are plenty of online casinos to choose from, some do not allow gambling from restricted locations, and KYC policies are also a concern in some of the top regulated and licensed casinos.

It is more risky when you play online, I agree with you. Besides, everything online is just risky and as we manage others, we can learn to manage casino aswell.
The reputability of VPN services should be a great concern because some are just pure disaster. The issue of kyc to me is not that important because many casino don't require kyc. Some are optional while some is just to check the age of the gamblers.

Quote from: Coin_trader on February 02, 2022, 11:56:50 PM

Using VPN while your country strictly prohibited gambling is like a double edge sword. You will enjoy playing but once you win big amount, Casino can use it against you by linking your account to multiple account since the IP that use on VPN is shared to all user that use same VPN. There's a chance that your life will be in danger if the authority detect your online gambling activities. It's better to play legally since most the country that has a strict law about gambling have an exception to let there citizen gamble in moderate way.

I have never heard of this before, this world is so crooked that no where is safe again. I still believe that this allegation is far from reputable online casinos.
Infact, gambling itself is a risk, I shouldn't be surprised.
[/quote]

Its also happening in crypto, we see threads about it here after winning big, they are asked to send documents to prove KYC. If anything a casino finds out that you are located in a state where gambling is prohibitted, youre done.

So while you are at it, make sure they are not going to suspect you or allow yourself to win big. After just $5k, maybe stop and withdraw just your capital first.

For casinos, they should just remind gamblers everytime they log about their location and if their state illegalize gambling.

Gamblers here in the Philippines because we could gamble and bet freely in all types of legal games. Maybe that's the reason why people from other countries where gambling is prohibited visit our local casino to play. As for me, casinos have a benefit in each country's economic situation too but I understand why other countries have lots of restrictions.

Though there are still certain games that are not allowed in our country specifically in barangays wherein there are official who sometimes roll to see whether there are gamblers playing like some cards game, what good is when in online we can use any casino without worries since the country is not too strict in online gambling or use of internet.

That's true because of the pandemic many bettors of cock fighting are doing it online, these local-based gambling operators very well know that locals will always find a way to play their favorite gambling which is cock fighting so they set up one online and they called it online sabong or online cockfighting, so gamblers are going online it's conveniently easy to deposit and there is no time limit, no wonder many people lose a lot of money and livelihood because of nonstop playing online.

Do a little google you will get that properly.

Okay dude, whatever. I don’t have to google it because I have my own experience, so it’s obvious you’re talking from your ass.
Look, I don't want to engage you in a debate since this isn't the appropriate thread for that, but I can only point out that you are deeply mistaken. I don't know where you live and what kind of connection you have, but I can assure you that Netflix and other streaming services are working just fine with my VPN.

You know, the stronger the VPN, the lower the speed. and the lower the security, cause every of your action is monitored by 3rd party service when you use VPN.

Sorry, but in my experience, that's not entirely true. Unless you're talking about free VPN services again, which I don't recommend.

Then I have to say, very ridiculous experience,
You know, VPN means Vartual Private Network, It is always controlled and monitored by a 3rd-party private service whatever is free or paid reputably.
Every traffic by your side they can monitor.

Once again, no. Do a little research.

Also, did you know that you can also make your own VPN server? Obviously not. Because otherwise you wouldn't write such nonsense.

Conclusion:It's fascinating how some countries completely declaring gambling as illegal while implementing some amendments just to still sneak gambling in there country for there own personal gains reason. Learning different countries gambling laws make me realize that govenment can't totally suppress gambling activities. There's still a lot of people playing online gambling despite the danger involves by doing it.

That's something you can't avoid. Why? Because gambling involves a lot of money. That the same goes with alcohol and cigarette. Government knew about the danger of this vices but still they allow it while putting a campaign advertisement about the danger of such abusive act of alcohol and cigarette. That's how ironic it is.
Some countries are seizing illegal gambling. Illegal in a sense that they didn't secure documents to legalize their gambling business. Again, that's something an official's personal gain.

a little off topic in the case of alcohol governments only limit themselves to advertising the dangers of alcohol but they do nothing else, the companies that manufacture alcohol are getting richer and the number of people addicted to alcohol only increases

Well the Japanese government has a reason for making few gambling games legal in their country. Not that their citizens don't have the right to decide what works for them but, the fact that they are not fully knowledgeable about how gambling works, once gambling gets legalized in their nation they will get addicted to it easily, something the government is avoiding at every cost. But, they are doing something to amend such laws so that tourists would see more reasons to visit the country.

Afaik there are casinos in Cambodia built by the Chinese. I have visited the country twice before the pandemic and there were few casinos I have seen. Its often the Chinese that develops casino hotel business in Asia.

Their government make sure their citizen only gambles outside mainland so Macau is one artificially excempted by the gambling laws.

what you say is true, i've traveled to vietnam, myanmar and cambodia, in those three countries i see quite a lot of casinos and massage places that are open freely. as for the gambling business that was there, i also don't really know whether it's local residents who manage it or foreigners ^(china) who manage it, but there are quite a few scattered there.

I think we have an experienced seeing not all casino is banned by our ISP, although our country prohibits gambling because I see that I can access some gambling sites without any restriction and without using VPN while gambling is in a grey or some people will say it is prohibited in my country. So I can still play gambling but carefully, just in case the government detects my activity for playing gambling but surely, I will not make them suspicious.

Reliable online operators only allow players worldwide based on their age and offer various self exclusion and betting restrictions among other socially responsible initiatives and gambling involves all types of gaming.

Yeah as I believe Indonesia is a Muslim country and we knew that Muslim beliefs that gambling must be prohibit , though I may stand to be corrected if there are Muslim brothers here that may clarify this .

While there are some grey areas, gambling is generally regarded as forbidden by most Islamic scholars. The Qur'an and many Hadiths make this clear. In the Qur'an, all games of chance are described as an "abomination devised by Satan" and gambling and alcohol drinks are mentioned together as destructive activities that destroy personal and family lives.

And so far, no legal casinos are here. Actually, we may find out illegal casinos both offline and online, but once the police notice and this is spread and most citizens know, they will cath the providers and gamblers.
Even gambling with cockfighting will be immediately raided if caught and gamblers will be arrested.

And so far, no legal casinos are here. Actually, we may find out illegal casinos both offline and online, but once the police notice and this is spread and most citizens know, they will cath the providers and gamblers.
Even gambling with cockfighting will be immediately raided if caught and gamblers will be arrested.

Speaking of banned then it would be on this lists
https://www.europeanbusinessreview.com/state-of-online-gambling-from-restricted-countries-in-2021/

Yes, there would be some exclusions which had been showed on OP, and government would be always have the power
on making rules and regulations and make out alterations on their likings thats why its would really be
very situational.

The list might not complete but its good to know that some big country prohibits those gambling activities and as a citizen you really have to follow that, but of course there’s still a way to gamble if you really want to.

So this is why many travels to Macau and Vegas just to gamble, and I think if its not about religion you can really gamble anywhere as long as its legal. I’m lucky that I don’t need to travel just to gamble, better to enjoy such privileges.

I would say this list of countries is incomplete because there are lot of other countries also prohibited the gambling for example China where most forms of gambling is illegal so people are moving to other countries to gamble and what about North Korea. Cheesy

And many countries have some restrictions towards physical as well as online casino and for crypto casino there will be more regulations.

I have noticed that even in some countries where gambling is illegal some citizens still play gambling one way or the other(especially online gambling). That is to say gambling can't be abolished completely by the government, people will still look for a way to get into it.

As long as they don't get caught they will continue to operate. Grin

Well, if gambling is illegal on a certain countries or places I think the underground world would be more active than in casino. I know gambling is not an exception to the Muslim countries since it's forbidden for them. But I don't think it's totally gone among them and also if gambling can't be completely stop then, I think it's time for the government to make some adjustments or continue what they meant to do about gambling rules and punishment. Besides, it's people's personal choice if they want to gamble or not as long as they do know what they are doing.

I believe at least half of the world's countries would fit on this list for strict restrictions and regulations on gambling activity on their territories. Even USA, considered the land of the free, isn't free of such bans, as some states consider gambling illegal.

Interesting that all countries, especially the most severe ones, always have exceptions that don't make any sense at all, since gambling is gambling, doesn't matter the game you are betting on. Still, regulators believe slots or dice are harmful, but horse racing or national lottery aren't... What is the difference?

I have watched some entertaining videos about gambling in Japan. I thought that it's legal there since those people in the video I've watched are gambling in a casino but until I've read this and searched for the situation of gambling there, I've understood that it's just a form of entertainment.

Conclusion:It's fascinating how some countries completely declaring gambling as illegal while implementing some amendments just to still sneak gambling in there country for there own personal gains reason. Learning different countries gambling laws make me realize that govenment can't totally suppress gambling activities. There's still a lot of people playing online gambling despite the danger involves by doing it.

It's their country and their rule shall govern whatever industry that they want. They also just can't ignore the huge tax that's flowing on it.

And when you try to suppress a popular activity you are making criminals from ordinary people!

What are you thinking about when you wake up in the morning and you realize that you are not in a free country?! You wish to be free to do some things, things that don't hurt anyone, you have some money to spare for that fun... but you are not allowed to do so! There are penalties for doing that, and in some countries, they can be pretty high!
I am for the free world, free for all! But looks like we are still far from that, I like to believe that crypto can help us in that way...

Afaik there are casinos in Cambodia built by the Chinese. I have visited the country twice before the pandemic and there were few casinos I have seen. Its often the Chinese that develops casino hotel business in Asia.

Their government make sure their citizen only gambles outside mainland so Macau is one artificially excempted by the gambling laws.

There are other countries like India as well where certain, most types of gambling is illegal and at the end of the day some of them are available like : Horse racing etc. Also there are certain gambling sites which would not provide their services even in countries where gambling is legal for example when you talk about the site am working for they do not extend their services to UK. Therefore this is more of a broader perspective. Some operators also have limitations. Therefore you should always find one where you can trust and use according to your area as well. It's a complex subject matter.

" Gambling in Russia is legal in four regional subject areas, and in 2009 was made illegal in all other areas of Russia.

In 2009, gambling was banned almost everywhere in Russia. The only exceptions are four specially arranged zones in the Altai, Krasnodar, Kaliningrad, and Primorsky regions. "

Most of the countries on the list don’t really prohibit gambling. In other words, gambling is not illegal in many of the mentioned countries. There may be heavy regulation but not illegal. I think the countries where gambling is really illegal are mostly found in the Middle East in the Asian continent. The likes of Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and others are strictly prohibiting gambling. Islam declares gambling haram. Countries like Singapore and Japan allow gambling. Even mainland China is stricter in terms of gambling.

As far as i know pachinko is also legal in Japan and there are a lot of pachinko parlors all over the country. Another Muslim country in Asia.- Brunei (guided by Sharia law), has banned all forms of gambling.

You can also check it out and do some research and maybe update the thread above. I think there's a lot more, but maybe majority of us here are lucky that we live in a country wherein gambling is legal and regulated.

I was surprised that gambling is prohibited in Japan but then I realized I was thinking about China where most of the gambling games came from. I don't know but every Japanese historical movie I watched doesn't have any gambling scene looks like even in the movies they don't want to promote it, unlike Chinese and Korean movies where they also have some dramas and movies that are concentrated on gambling like "Daebak" Korean drama.

japan?

Seriously, are casinos illegal in japan? Why is a country that seems to me like a country of more open-minded people against gambling?

I can't understand this.

That's something you can't avoid. Why? Because gambling involves a lot of money. That the same goes with alcohol and cigarette. Government knew about the danger of this vices but still they allow it while putting a campaign advertisement about the danger of such abusive act of alcohol and cigarette. That's how ironic it is.
Some countries are seizing illegal gambling. Illegal in a sense that they didn't secure documents to legalize their gambling business. Again, that's something an official's personal gain.

a little off topic in the case of alcohol governments only limit themselves to advertising the dangers of alcohol but they do nothing else, the companies that manufacture alcohol are getting richer and the number of people addicted to alcohol only increases

Gambling law exclusion is the most bullshit thing I heard. They allowing other nationality to gambling in the country which the citizen is not allowed to play. This is the reason why many big time gambler like Chinese are using other country casino to wash there money that acquired on illegal activities. Government didn't care about this transactions and focus only on the tax from this foreign money.

Bttzed03 already stated the possible source for the list of there countries that you can add up on your list. Keep on researching.

Yes that's totally bullshit knowing their citizen cannot decide for their selves on what they want to do but maybe their government is so conservative towards this that's why they have such heavy restriction towards their people. But I don't know about your claims if big time gamblers really do that since if that's the case its unfair for small time gambler to have this implementation since there are people who likes to play occasionally to have fun.

That's right, my country also non legalizes gambling and prohibits all forms of gambling-related activities...

maybe you can add Indonesia as a country that prohibits all types of activities that smell like gambling and that applies throughout Indonesia without exception, So that's a lot of rich Indonesian people who play gambling in Macau or other countries that legalize gambling.

You can find them most of them on an online casino's list of restricted countries. Curacao is an example. Despite granting licenses to different companies, they do not allow their citizens to online gambling. That's quite odd isn't it?

If you cannot stop them, tax them. It's the same situation with alcohol and other previously banned products.

Note: There are some minor exception in each countries law to let the government get income from tourist or to moderate the gambling activities of its citizen

Japan

Most forms of gambling in Japan are generally banned by the Criminal Code chapter 23^Source.

Exception: Public sports, lottery, and toto (football pools) are held under special laws in order to increase the income of national and local governments as well as to offer a form of entertainment.

Since 2018, casino operators have been bidding for three legal licenses to operate an integrated casino resort in Japan, including in Osaka, Tokyo, and Yokohama. The Japanese government established the Casino Administration Committee in 2020 to supervise and manage Japan's resort operators.^Source.

Cambodia

Gambling is officially illegal under the 1996 Law on Suppression of Gambling, which outlawed all unauthorized forms of gambling and provided for penalties ranging from monetary fines to short prison sentences, although the Cambodian government's General Department of Prisons does not list gambling as one of the 28 offenses punishable by imprisonment^Source.

Exception: The prohibition on gambling, which also extends to all forms of online gambling, only applies to Cambodian citizens. As of October 2015, there were 75 casinos catering to foreign tourists operating within Cambodia, providing an estimated US$29 million in revenue to the national government in the first nine months of the year and $2 billion in income for the casinos^Source.

United Arab Emirates

It is important to understand that Islam is the official religion of the country, pursuant to the Constitution of the UAE. Gambling is prohibited in Islam, and this forms the basis for the federal and local emirate laws that prohibit all forms of gambling, as well as the advertising of any form of gaming^Source.

Exception: Despite the blanket prohibition on gambling, it is permissible to run competitions (including raffles) in the UAE, subject to prior permission from the relevant regulatory department^Source.

North Korea

Nothing to adds up here since this country is known for a complete manipulation by the government and we know that lots of socialize activity here is prohibited in the public. So gambling is illegal!

Exception: two casinos exist in North Korea for the Chinese tourist market – the Imperial Hotel & Casino in Rason[37] and the Pyongyang Casino in the Yanggakdo International Hotel in Pyongyang.^Source.

Singapore

The Private Lotteries Act prohibits private events unless permission is granted.^Source

Exception: Exception: Singapore Pools is the only operator that is legally allowed to run lotteries in the country.[1] Casinos are allowed in Singapore in the form of integrated resorts (IR), such as Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa, where the casino is integrated in a major resort property that includes a hotel, together with convention facilities, entertainment shows, theme parks, luxury retail and fine dining. Societies are allowed to operate slot machines in designated rooms under the Private Lotteries Act.^Source.

Conclusion:It's fascinating how some countries completely declaring gambling as illegal while implementing some amendments just to still sneak gambling in there country for there own personal gains reason. Learning different countries gambling laws make me realize that govenment can't totally suppress gambling activities. There's still a lot of people playing online gambling despite the danger involves by doing it.
