I do not like online casinos from the CIS countries, such as Russian and similar. I had problems with withdrawing winnings twice. I had to prove what is obvious, and I have not encountered this when playing in casinos and poker Rus from other countries. But all this was when I liked to play gambling on sites that are not listed on our forum. Now I choose only those that are provided on our forum, because these are proven casinos that are easy to contact in case of problems.

Does Russian residents allowed to play on casino with Curacao license? Most of the casino here have Curacao license which I remember that doesn’t allowed Russian player to play due to the sanctions and your country strict prohibition to play in online casino that operates outside your country.

Although I totally agree with you that most of the local online casino especially in my country usually hold withdrawal and use different excuses just to avoid payout.

Online casino on the forum on the other hand protects their integrity that’s why they are always reliable.

In Russia, physical casinos are banned everywhere except for one region called Krasnaya Polyana, where they still operate. But I wrote about online casinos, and I think that it was just in Russian, and its domain was .ru, but it is possible that it was registered somewhere else. I meant that if the owners of even such a casino are from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan or Ukraine, then it is better to ignore such a casino and look for another place for online gambling.

I feel comfortable playing in any casino that is reputable and has a reputation of always paying players who win, not casinos that look for any opportunity not to pay out winnings to their customers. I don't really worry about the region they are based, as long as my country is on the list of accepted countries in the casino, then i feel comfortable playing in it.
It’s always the casino’s reputation that should be given the highest concern. Regardless if it’s local/regional or a global one, as long as its good reputation is guaranteed, then it will be my top choice in choosing for a casino. Your experience with that casino even if it’s only local matters the most, rather than trusting those new and global casinos that have not proven its worth yet in the business industry.

What attracts people the most in a casino is their reputation and if the casino aren't that reputed then I see no need choosing it to gamble, even if it's a local or not. But when it's reputable and has all it takes to gamble including some form of cryptocurrency integration then find it would boost the usability and drow quicker growth if our country permits and accept cryptocurrency casino while running on the locals.

Reputation and benefits are bundle when it comes to the main attraction of the casino. Gamblers preferred casino that offers generous benefits that’s why many user still explore new casino that offers good bonuses even though the reputation is still not guaranteed.

Many reputable casino in the past failed to compete nowadays to giant casino since they didn’t level up their game that with their bonuses because they are confident to their active user that soon leave and change casino.

Yes, we are more concerned with the reputation and security of a casino, including payment to the winners very well, it is more important than us to talk domicile in the casino, from anywhere the casino comes from I don't care about it, just like you.

But for some people, they might think more comfortable using regional casinos or vice versa, meaning they have a tendency to the casino places that serve them, and I think it is also not a problem because everyone must have a certain reason why they choose a certain casino for where they play .

or acquired by them?
I think that I've already seen some sort of acquisition in here or more of a partnership of two known crypto casinos in here. But it's good to see that if there is some uprising casinos in any region of the world and then will be taken over by a bigger brand, that's just part of the business deal that we're going to see. This is very common in any business sector and even in the gambling sector. But for a player like me, it's going to be hard when a casino that I used to play with will be taken over by another bigger brand or if they merge. Because that will be the start of change in policies and it's for sure going to happen whether we like it or not. Change is constant when there's a takeover and change in organizational management.

Do you feel more comfortable playing in a region where you reside or are familiar with?
I am more concerned on the reputation of the casino, than the region the casino is from. If my region is not a restricted region on the casino, then I am okay. The reputation of the casino should be of more importance, unless you are concerned not to be gambling in a casino that has your location on restriction. I do not deny that I will be more happy if there is a local casino from my country that is delivering good services with crypto gambling, that will increase confidence the more somehow because I will know that it is people who understand the gambling ecosystem in my country that are in charge.

do you think the segmentation based on region is still relevant? Do you feel more comfortable playing in a region where you reside or are familiar with?
Yes, it's quite relevant because it all goes back to the server; the closer we get to the server, then the faster we can access the casino. Everyone favors unlimited speed.

What do you think will happen in the future? Can these local/regional casinos compete with bigger brands, or will they be devoured or acquired by them?
it's basic on consumer I think. the bigger brands always inside in more population, casino live in inherent gamble culture. even if acquired, they still have to expand in order to get more customers.

If you're after legal security, stick with local casinos. They’re more likely to have a legal framework that’s solid, but keep in mind they might be limited when it comes to game variety and innovation since they’re local. Going global, on the other hand, opens up a whole new world of options and competition, but you’re giving up some of that legal protection. Suing a global platform? Possible, but tough, especially since they’re not operating in your area. Plus, let’s be realistic, most gamblers won’t go through with a legal battle; it’s expensive and a hassle.

I don't legal security should be a problem with a global casino. I have tested some casinos here that are pretty doing well that in the next 10 years I'm not sure of their collaboration with local industry and they are doing fine, in fact they are making money more and everyday with increase in their growth reputation. I don't think there is anything local casino can gives that the global can't give except for the local currency conversion which will be a problem and if they are licensed, they can incorporate a payment gateway.

If for instance you are member of this community, you can drag them and there representative here can speed it up for you which in every 10 case reported, atleast 9 are always resolved, the 1 that don't get resolve could be as a result of either cheating or multiple accounts. Playing with a local casino doesn't change anything either, they will have to follow due normal procedures to attend to your complaint and I'm not sure they will want to run away because of one customer unless when they scam huge numbers of player.

I think it's now common to see ANN threads of local/regional (Asian, SEA, or maybe other regions) casinos. Since people can now access sites from different locations globally, do you think the segmentation based on region is still relevant? Do you feel more comfortable playing in a region where you reside or are familiar with?

What do you think will happen in the future? Can these local/regional casinos compete with bigger brands, or will they be devoured or acquired by them?

All these are what the gambling platform may have to make decision for, if what they wanted is to only have their gamblers limited to their own region or if they will be willing to make it a general one open to everyone, this is not of the intention of being sentimental mostly, but as according to the way some platforms or developers may want it, they will want to maintain the site operations from within their own region or with some few additional ones selected, just to increase their security guard over any form of attack or cheat that may be targeted on them.

I prefer to play where the gaming is fair. Regional or local or whatever doesn't matter to me as long as the games offered are fair. I'm looking at types of games offered, RTP if playing slots, good support, rakebacks, and bonuses. Most gamblers play at multiple sites and usually frequent where they are winning, location means nothing IMO.

Before, we really enjoyed global casinos because they weren’t too strict with KYC. But now, as crypto becomes more mainstream, regulators have tightened their grip. Just like the recent news about Stake.com requiring users to submit documents for level 2 KYC. Those who fail to comply before the deadline will lose access to play with the casino. It seems like global casinos won’t be much different from local ones in the future, except maybe for the innovative games they’ll continue to offer.
KYC is pretty much the same IMO, it's pretty much sunshine and rainbow until you get lucky and withdraw a substantial amount of money. Perhaps you mean the old and pure provably fair crypto casinos with dice and the like? This is the only place to have a no or very lenient KYC policy.

Global casino can hire translator to translate anything in their sites.

Promotions are nothing different for global and for local, if the local casino have A,B,C promotions while global casino have A,B,C,D,E,F,G promotions, it doesn't mean when you play in global casino, you can enjoy all the promotions.

The casino will adjust the promotion based on the player's IP address, so you might only see A,B,C promotions, the same promotion in local casino.

Payment method and the currencies are the difference that can't be denied.
It differs greatly, well, from my personal experience of having accounts on several online casinos both local and global.
In SEA, what I notice is that the offer of deposit bonuses with a wagering requirement is so often... It's like receiving St*ke's weekly email on steroids.

I play a little bit everywhere. There are both regional and global brands. Much depends on the event and the method of replenishing the balance. Regional ones are convenient, of course, the method of replenishing with national currency, global ones are more often through crypto, everything depends on what funds I have now. I don’t think that in the future regional offices will be absorbed by global ones, it’s easier to control and earn money on the domestic market than to sell a business.

When I went on a business trip to the post-Soviet states, I saw beautiful casinos there. There are a lot of them in the capital, but my partner said that I shouldn't go there. It turned out that in such countries, all the odds of winning on slot machines, which these establishments are filled with, are reduced to a minimum. And I understood that in the world, on average, the chances of winning on machines are much higher, especially in the USA. So I decided not to visit the casinos there, and thought about those people who do not know this information and continue to play slot machines with reduced slots.

I think it is better to choose a casino that has proven itself well over the years and it is obvious that they will value their reputation more. So what matters to me as a player will be the reputation of the casino, if there are good reviews about them, then I will prefer this casino. I try not to deal with new casinos that I know nothing about, first I want to know how things are with KУC and withdrawal.

One good reason betting on casinos that are within your religion is because their physical office might be around that region. This solves the problem of looking for support/help when the a casino fails to go about their services. Many people have complain of not being able to withdraw their winnings online when the win is a huge one and the only way for them to do that is by looking for a physical office which they can lay their reports to. The casino will have no choice but to release the money for the gambler.

Any other reason aside from this is not really a problem to me.
This is a very good reason to patronize local casinos that have physical offices, so that when there is an issue, you can easily visit them and interact face to face. Although beyond this, people needs to consider their reputations first because a casino and bet company that is not trustworthy, there's no reason to gamble on their sites even if you know their physical offices. Besides having the opportunity to visit local bet offices, if there's an issue, there's no much difference between local and global. When it comes to crypto casinos, people should think global and use the site that they're more comfortable with.

Going global, on the other hand, opens up a whole new world of options and competition,
They have bigger audiences or clientele so obviously they will have more funds to operate. Events are a lot more fun because there’s a lot more people compared to just in local casinos.

Usually casinos end up not having to pay repercussions because the jurisdiction falls outside the country where the complaint is coming from. So, yeah. No one’s going to try and do something that would most likely be fruitless.
