Usually, when people know about their country's regulations, they will not use their real IP when they visit the online gambling site. They prefer to use private VPN to play gambling because that can hide their real IP from the ISP's tracking. But some people still use their real IP to playing gambling, and so far, there is no tracking from the ISP. But the ISP still monitor them, just in case if they are using the internet connection just to play online gambling.
But I think it will difficult to regulate online gambling sites because the sites will choose to open their business in the country, which allows gambling, and they will not have a problem with the user that comes from many countries.
Your ISPs always monitoring you, even if they say they're not. Their software and hardware can do nothing but track you, it's up to the ISP whether or not they keep this information, and whether the law requires them to or not (and they do, they like being on the good side of enforcement). Think it's only Switzerland that has enough privacy laws to not require ISPs to track you.
It's up to us to protect our privacy in the end.
Yes, they will not tell us they track us, but if the government asked about the data, the ISP would give it for the investigate reason. The track will be given to the government if something bad happens, such as hacking, carding, or illegal activities. The government will track the IP that is connected to the victim, and if the government found the target because of using one ISP, they will ask the data.
But so far, I guess many people already visit on many websites, including porn and gambling, using their real IP or VPN, and the ISP is not doing something except blocking the connection to that sites.
Can our ISP still do that even if we are using VPN to mask our real IP address? I mean, can they know that we are accessing the gambling sites? It would be helpful to me if I get the right answer as I have friends that has an static IP who gambled without using VPN.
I guess they can still track it. We can ask our ISP to know the real answer, but I think they will not tell you since that will be their secret, and they don't want the public to know about that. The ISP bond with the regulation from the government, and they need to obey the regulations.
I think the ISP of your friend knows about that, but they don't do anything because perhaps, your friends don't use too big money.
