The most common problem is that players did not read the terms of the casino before they create an account and made their first deposit, then once they realized that their country is being restricted by the casino, they start to blame the casino.
There's a difficulty with players with reading terms and conditions and sometimes this is also because the terms and conditions where the consequence of bypassing restrictions or using VPN to Gamble is clearly stated, has been made not reader friendly by the casino. If more gamblers are able to read through the terms and conditions and more casinos are able to make their terms and conditions more reader friendly, there will less issues regarding VPN usage from restricted locations as I believe more gamblers will want to avoid having problems with money after winning.

I know we all want to gamble, and some of us live in countries where gambling is completely illegal, which means there are no online casinos offering games locally. So, we turn to global casinos that don’t require KYC. Even though we see in the TOS that our country is restricted, we still keep going because they don’t block us. But then, as we get hooked on the casino, we start depositing big money to win big. Suddenly, their system flags us for accessing the casino from a restricted country, and our funds get frozen. That’s something I’ve read from many members on scam accusation boards. They think the casino is okay with it, but it’s not.

Bypassing country restrictions while those players that their country is restricted by the casino is stupid if you ask me, I wonder why they did it while they should aware about the risk.
I live in a country where gambling is illegal but many casinos accept players from my country, even if my country is restricted by most casinos, I have no good reason to bypass the restriction because I know the risk.

I believe this is very clear, and I don’t think a gambler should do something when they already know the possible consequences. To me, it is a desperate move and lacks good judgment.

If we’re responsible gamblers, we wouldn’t engage in anything that could put us in harm’s way down the line. If gambling is prohibited in our country or region, we can surely find other things to enjoy. After all, gambling isn’t the only thing to enjoy, and forcing it could lead to even greater regret. That is why it’s essential to think carefully and always remember—it is better to stick to what is legal and safe.

I know we all want to gamble, and some of us live in countries where gambling is completely illegal, which means there are no online casinos offering games locally.

The thing is that cryptocurrency casinos are very attractive for users who in theory should not bet in them, and if someone is going to do it to avoid the problems described in the OP I would recommend him to always deposit and bet small amounts, say $100 weekly at most, to try to avoid problems.
If you notice all the problems related to this is because the user has won and tried to cashout a large amount.

Yes casinos are very tricky you know, they always want to offer you what you can not resist to make you register with them without minding the consequences as it relates your eligibility to operate with them and they would not put any restriction to you if your country is on the restricted list. I just believe they know what they do which gives them a kind of power to get accounts from restricted nations registered on their platform banned.

The idea of betting with a small amount is a good one so if anything happens in the future that gets ones account banned, they would have no much trouble in forfeiting their money as the case may be depending on the policy guiding the restricted nations on their ToS. Most times when such case as this emanates, you will discover that the amount the gambler deposited is far bigger and would want to take back his or her deposit which in some cases the casino does not return to them with the claim and fact that the gambler  disobeyed the casino policy before registering and if they being kind enough, they would release the deposit and in some cases, they do not unless on intervention of some notable figures and platforms.

It's not that they think the casino is okay with it. They just in general don't give a crap lol. Especially if it were new players, they usually don't give a crap to the rules a place/business has, especially if it was an online on. And I wouldn't even call it a "risk". It's just a straight-out chance for a ban imo. Just a matter of time for most people really since casinos often have those checks that they do. After all I reckon ISPs themselves give info to the government about traffic to their casinos.

Well, before a gambler decides to use VPN to bypass the restrictions of casinos in their country, they should also be willing to accept any consequence that is attached to  their actions. Even they should to play smart by carry out such activities, I don't expect the player to put in a huge amount of money but greed will not allow some people to only use small amount.
If you use a VPN because some casinos prohibit it, then communication with the casino service is very important to do so that they understand that you are accessing their casino using a VPN so that there is no violation and can cause our funds to be frozen or our account banned, that is one way, then if you don't use it, then the option like you said by only using a little money is better, but unfortunately your fun will be limited if you do something like that.

If really the player is using VPN to access the casino in a country where the casino is banned, then it's not wise to tell the casino support that you are accessing the casino from a country it's not providing services to, they definitely ban your account because you are breaking the casino terms and policy.

The most important thing in my opinion is that the casino does not prohibit the country that prohibits the casino? Do you understand what that means? Although your country forbids it will not be a problem as long as the casino you use does not prohibit your country, it will be safe in my opinion as long as you carry out things as I say to anticipate all the risks that will occur in the future.

But if the casino that specifically blocks your country then it's better not to play in that place.

The fact that the casino does not immediately show the client that it sees his IP address, or that he uses a VPN, seems to me to be a very clever trick. After all, a person relaxes, thinking that he has found a place that will allow him to play, bypassing all restrictions, but a hard surprise happens when, after several wins, a person decides to make a large deposit.
I saw a similar topic about VPNs, and I think that the meaning is the same everywhere. Those who assert their superior intelligence often face punishment. I know that the casino has very strict protection, and it is precisely on this that the casino does not spare money to regularly improve it. If you are lucky once, then I doubt that you will be able to use deception regularly.

People just like breaking the rules I guess, why will I feel sorry for anyone who does? They knew the consequences already so they should embrace it.

For those who think they are smart by using a VPN, even if the casino doesn't catch you in the act wait till it is time to pass KYC, even if the casino is a non-KYC one I promise you that they will ask you, this days you can't rely on a non KYC platform, they are always temporally.

The consequence will be huge, avoid trouble at all cost.

Hard to go to the legal route if you know you have violations as well. Also, do remember going to this path will take not only emotional toll on you but mostly in financial aspect. Just hiring a lawyer will require you funds aside from the fact that you have no assurance that you can really get those winnings. So weigh your options and if it is better to move on, move on...
A gambler pursuing a legal case would need sufficient funds to cover attorney fees and necessary expenses for the duration of the case. Casinos are also willing to fight because they have more resources than us and are protecting their reputation, so they won't take it lightly. Unless one has strong evidence that could convict the casino of a crime, it might be risky to proceed. However, in the long run, there could be a monetary settlement, and the gambler might stand to gain significantly from it.

The most important thing to do to avoid the risk of being blocked in a casino is to simply read the rules carefully. The second thing to do is simply not to deposit large amounts of money into the casino account that you would be sorry to lose. These two simple rules will save many from a significant part of the problems. In addition, you need to understand that a casino is not a place where money is earned. This is a place where people have fun with small amounts of money. If you want to earn money by gambling and are afraid of being blocked, then you should hardly play in an online casino. Either play in an offline casino or choose sports betting on decentralized prediction platforms.

Offline casinos are not a panacea either... I am currently in one of the offline casinos and most of the visitors are playing slot machines here. They are very bright and musical, and you don't need a lot of money to start playing. At the same time, the roulette and poker tables are empty.

Offline casinos have become more democratic and this is not a very good trend. Personally, I like to play roulette, but I don't like to play directly against the casino. I like situations when there are a lot of players and everyone is betting (some on numbers, some on sectors, some on red / black).

Therefore, in offline casinos, making big bets, unfortunately, is also not possible.

Would it be valuable to check out with the casino's customers representative about using a VPN? Isn't it like shooting yourself in the leg. Hiding the process is great, and most times the security won't flag the account easily. Unless a loophole occurs, which is mostly going to happen. It's also fine not to play with huge amounts. Yet, the risk is always with the gambler winning so much money. That's when the house openly figures out where a player is gambling from, whether flagged or not.

Yes, at least you communicate with the Casino, and we need to see how the response is, if they have wisdom then it is better and you can not worry about the use of VPN in your gambling activity, but if they forbid better find other casinos that you might access Through the mirror or who can certainly give easy access without you having to use VPN, rather than what you say playing small and win big then the victory is scorched because you committed a violation.

Yes, gambling for money can be very suicidal for a gambler, but many gamblers do what is forbidden and choose it as a means of earning. Gamblers can face financial losses by making the wrong move in their strategy. You need to adopt the right strategy to limit your money while gambling, such as a weekly allocation or daily allocation and setting aside a portion of your disposable income. It is also very important to set a time limit while gambling. If you spend too much time gambling, it can gradually turn into an addiction.

You must choose a fixed time to go to a physical casino, which can help you sharpen the experience. Online casinos can be relatively helpful for you in earning money, but you should choose the right casino site so that you can reduce the potential for excessive losses.

This is not the only case. There is also the case of people who live in a country where gambling is legal but for a casino to offer its services it must have a country-specific license, which no cryptocurrency casino has, and that country appears as banned in the ToS but the user bypasses the ban with vpn. There is also the other case, that the country does not appear as prohibited in the ToS but in reality it should be, and there they have added a tagline like “and in any other jurisdiction from which the user should not bet in the casino”, or something like that, to cover their backs.

The thing is that cryptocurrency casinos are very attractive for users who in theory should not bet in them, and if someone is going to do it to avoid the problems described in the OP I would recommend him to always deposit and bet small amounts, say $100 weekly at most, to try to avoid problems.

On the other way, I think it's the right of a country that have gambling an illegal that has that right to question its citizens of violating the law and not the casinos unless such casino doesn't want to keep reputations of attracting much number of players in both home and abroad to their sites.
Let's look at bitcoin today where it's illegal but yet some enthusiasts in that region boycotts that policy, maneuvers to gain access to acquire and hold their bitcoin.
So why don't the blockchain question then if not, only their regional authority where they resides that it's tagged illegal that has the right to encounter them for violation. Not the casinos right just as the blockchain doesn't.

The risk is very high, I would say. There might be many consequences if you try to bypass this, mate. First of all, if you win big, then definitely they will ask you to undergo KYC. Now when you submit your ID card verification, there will be a mismatch of places. Now in such a situation they will block your winnings. So it’s best to choose casinos that are available in your place. Don’t run for promotions and bonuses; run for real and legitimate casinos that are easily available from your country/place.

There are definitely such risks of losing access to your money. Therefore, when choosing a casino, I personally prefer those that are loyal to the location. It is important that the casino does not require KYC. There are such casinos, usually they are casinos that work only with cryptocurrency. However, even these measures, of course, cannot provide a complete guarantee against an unexpected freezing of funds.

That's the consequence and if someone reads the rules given by the Casino first, it shouldn't have happened. Most casinos do require KYC and there are still many ways to do it like using a foreign IP for the required process but when they recognize something is different after you deposit a large amount of money it will be a problem. The next most basic question is what is the condition of the money we have that has been frozen? Can we contact their spot to ask for help because the rules have explained that we are not allowed to violate the rules given. Otherwise, we will accept the consequences based on the compliance that we do not carry out according to the conditions given by the casino.

The owners live and play in a restricted territory, they actively promote american streamers and they knew I lived in America. So at what point was I supposed to think this was going to happen to me 2 years later and after i put 150 million in affiliate wager on my books?

We aren't even talking about gambling winnings, we are talking about my earned commissions.

Now those who are trying to scam the casino are slowly regretting it. The casino is not blind, and since this is still a business, those people who will violate or break their rules will always be given proper sanction in the end, it’s either they will hold their funds and freeze their account, and they have all the right to do that.
This makes sense, they are all right since it is in the terms of service and you agreed with it during sign-up, not unless you are just stupid to not read those. So for me, there's no reason to blame the casino here if your funds get locked or frozen.

So, now I am curious what will happen to those funds that are frozen or locked because of violating the rules of a casino?
