I'm just curious because AFAIK gambling is not totally illegal in my country, so I have the liberty to gamble on the sites that I like to use.

Have you noticed an increase in negative content published about gambling addiction? It seems there is a global campaign to crackdown on gambling. A war on gambling. Like the war on drugs and war on terrorism.

There are also many exchanges who do not comply with KYC reporting requirements being forced to shut down. Gambling sites who do not comply with KYC reporting may also be forced to discontinue service to some regions.

I live in the USA and see many of those messages you took a screenshot of everywhere. On crypto exchanges, fantasy sports websites, gambling sites. Even shopping on amazon. There is a long list of things I cannot buy on amazon due to state bans.

if the op is curious why such restriction, i believe, he can always get in touch with the casino's support and clarify this matter. at least, get a direct answer from the site why his country is restricted. so he doesn't need to go to the route of using vpn, in which, the casino may not allow also. better know what's their side on this to avoid violation of their ToS, which may possibly affect his funds.

My country allows many foreign betting sites like bet365 and I have used the gambling site for gambling back in the past which makes me not to know much about VPN on the gambling site, but back then I learn that VPN can be used to access bet365 very easy, if a VPN does not work, it is just because the betting site has blacklisted the VPN already as a result of illegal activities or so, but you are right that making use of IP address directly will be best and we should be very careful with what is custodial for our money not to be lost as bet365 is in control of customer's funds.

I am very sure that bet365 customer care will respond fast to such question and they will have the best answer.

It's a general question, and the main point of my post is Why some gambling sites allowed my IP and why some restrict it?
Why others allowed my IP address to access their site?

It will likely be an order from your government, not only because of how gambling is in your country, either legal or illegal, you government can tell bet365.com to block such IP or maybe you government block the IP through your service provider. I do not know if this is happening in some countries but I believe some countries will want to increase local gambling services which can be the reason.

or is it because of the gambling license of the casino itself? some licenses are restricting countries even if the country is not very strict about it. this is to avoid possible violation and losing their license.

Best would be to ask them why, still, since you asked for our opinion too, I'll say that what you wrote "gambling is not totally illegal in my country" should be the key. If there's any concern about a country, some will find a way to comply (or just not care), some will find out they cannot comply and some others will just simply avoid (the safe and easy solution).

I think I don't need to ask them as I know that they have the same reasons on the sites that block my country.

My concern is actually for everyone who has the same experience as me.

It's a general question, and the main point of my post is Why some gambling sites allowed my IP and why some restrict it?

Every site is monitored differently.
Every country has different opinions and rules regarding gambling.
The reason why some sites might block your IP address might be :
1. They do not find that county profitable perse
2. There might be rules and regulations which might cause their downfall in the long term.
3. The scope of gambling in that country might be complicated and they do not wanna deal with it..
4. There might be a lot of scams or high taxation, reasons can be countless but at the end of the day it's their personal preference to do that but mind it, do not use NORDvpn or anything because that is too against the rules on many gambling sites therefore it's better to place bets with the sites that does allow you legally to do so.
Always play in legal restraints both from your country's rules and from the site's rules as well.
Gamble safely.

I really don't know any web developer thingy that will likely cause this, but it is clear it is not allowed or restricted in our country, first maybe there are many scam reports that the site has acquired here in the Philippines for it to be ban or restricted, 2nd the gambling site have an issue with our country there might be some hacking issue that connecting themselves here will likely access their main net.........

That's a wild speculation you got here, can we just think maybe it's a regulatory requirement by the license provider, and they just follow. Don't make things complicated and don't focus on the Philippines only as it's been shared that there are also other countries that the site cannot serve.

Anyway, I believe that there must be some kind of legal problem with btc365.com in this country, such as lack of registration or something like that.

I am thinking of the opposite, if the site is not regulated or lacks regulation, they can just allow anyone to gamble and continue to promote anonymity, in this gambling site, they blocked certain countrries and if you are blocked, there's no way to see the TOS, rather you'll only see the image prompt like what OP has posted.

That's strange, the site was poorly designed if it doesn't even let you see the TOS.
In fact, it's curious that a Gambling site is blocked in the Philippines that has had games of this type all over its territory since the 16th century (yes, I researched this here). Anyway, I believe that there must be some kind of legal problem with btc365.com in this country, such as lack of registration or something like that.

In any case, nothing that a good proxy doesn't solve if your only intention is fun, the problem is if you win a prize and have to perform KYC to be able to withdraw.

I guess it depends on where they get their license, if the provider of the license restricts your country, then you cannot access the site.

Do understand that crypto gambling sites have different license provider, most gambling sites IMO get a Curacao license, and the Philippines is not restricted by this provider as you can see.

https://www.gbo-intl.com/curacao-gaming-license/

Quote

At the time of writing, the restricted countries by Curacao gambling laws are:
Australia, the ABC territories, France, The Netherlands, the Caribbean islands, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom, the USA, and any other jurisdiction that Curaçao declares online gambling illegal.

So my guess is, probably the site you've mentioned has a different provider.

For now I don't want to participate on any of their promotion nor to play since I mostly stick on casino which I trust for many months.

While I do understand your point (let others do the beta testing and let other see if the casino is honest), the way you've said it sound like you'd also be afraid that you may like this new casino Grin

(I don't care, and I'm not affiliated with neither of the two, but it's funny)

Well if you really want to find the right information to avoid confusion about why they restrict Philippines IP accessing from accessing their site is to ask the dev about the reason behind on why they impose this decision, There are so many gamblers here in that country want to try some new site launch so if you have interest then try to ask and show us their answer about this inquiry.

For now I don't want to participate on any of their promotion nor to play since I mostly stick on casino which I trust for many months.

I just came across a new site https://www.btc365.com/ since I also applied for the signature campaign.

Actually, it's not the first gambling site that blocks my IP address or country, but it does not worry me as most of the reputable gambling sites that I am still using until now are accepting my bets without a problem, mind you, I gamble anonymously.

So I'd like to hear from you guys, please shed some light on my concern as I just like to get an accurate answer about my curiosity.
