I read somewhere that the Brazilian government is asking big money from the casinos to let them operate in Brazil. I guess it's a business, if some casino wants to operate & make money, they will have to pay something for it... whether it's worth it to the casinos or not, they will evaluate it themselves. I am more than sure they have teams for that...
Using a VPN is tricky for many reasons, and if someone uses a VPN just to avoid restrictions over their country there is a good chance that they will lose all their deposited & won money because of it. I use a VPN to avoid some provider restrictions, but if my country is on the restricted list I wouldn't risk my money.
I love it when I read
this, which shows the government's seriousness in collaboration with licensed casinos/sportsbooks.
This is already propaganda... we do it all to protect the players. They don't really care about the players, they want to regulate the market so that they collect as much money as possible from it. I don't see anything wrong with that, but I don't like it when states do it... we are going to put cameras everywhere for your protection, we want to know what everyone is doing for your protection...
