Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS?

The user can use VPN upon creating a new account and always using VPN with the same country when they want to access the site, this make the casino will not know if the user is using VPN.

Even the casino flagged the account for using VPN, he can lie by saying he's travel to other country and photoshopped the passport.

If the casino didn't crosscheck the information with the local government, they wouldn't know.

As mentioned before, the casino would be able to know there is a VPN being used, because there are lists of known IPs coming from VPNs.

Basically, it's the same way that Netflix and others detect that the user is behind a VPN.

You don't need any information from the user other than the IP address to know they might be using a VPN.

So, this is independent of a matching KYC, they simply need to check the country of the IP they are serving. Since they cannot establish that when a VPN is detected, then they simply ban the use of VPNs.

Well, for some casinos, this is probably hard for them to figure out, most especially if the casino is pretty new and coming up, the only ways they are able to figure out a user is or has been using VPN is when the ask such user to pass kyc verification, and discover that the location their system has recorded for the user through his or her IP address is not the same location in the document the user provided.
Another way again is that if the user is not consistent in making VPN, or makes use of different VPN services for different sessions on the casino, this will be linking the user to different IPs which in turn will make the casino want to investigate the reason for the different IPs, from this investigation, they will find out that such a user is making use of VPN to access their platform..

Yet another way, and this i believe to be the most simplest way, is by the casino installing a VPN dictator, this piece of tech and easily detect when a user is accessing the casino through VPN and immediately report to the casino.

The thing is that casinos are not allowed to serve users of certain countries.

So, this is independent of a matching KYC, they simply need to check the country of the IP they are serving. Since they cannot establish that when a VPN is detected, then they simply ban the use of VPNs.

There are services that provide a list of IPs that are being used in VPNs so they can detect it that way.

I know this is a bit controversial, but some casinos are looking the other way... when people are using VPNs. I know it might be legal in some instances, but you are still taking a risk by using it.

Online gambling is legal in my country, but sometimes I have to travel to a country where it is illegal. I then use a VPN to be able to access the site. This is one of the reasons why some casinos allow people to use VPNs..... but you are still taking a huge risk.

Now, the question is.... Will you still use a VPN, if it is not allowed by the ToS on the site. What will you do if they "block" your account and take your balance?

If you know the right thing do it, yes I said that because going against the policy of a platform is considered wrong and sometimes comes with a very big disadvantage, sometimes these online sites have there different ways of punishing customers who go against their TOS that does not accept the use of VPN, so it would be at your own risk if an online site does not permit the use of VPN and you go against it because you might be able to make deposit, stake on games but might find it difficult to make withdrawals due to a bridge in their policy.

I've seen situation where people violate the terms and conditions of online gambling platform and also called them with backlash when they're being punished or frustrated by the platforms, the thing is violating a platforms TOS warrant punishment and no matter how you call them out when you're unable to withdraw your funds or asked to provide frustrating documents before withdrawals they'll always get the upper hand so far you're guilty so it best to avoid going against a companies TOS or risk being punished severely.

The fake news that is spread will give the casino a bad rating, even though they have violated it due to the use of VPN which is not allowed. Sometimes in addition to other regulations regarding withdrawal regulations that must use KYC it will also be problematic because new users don't read carefully about the rules made in casinos. New casinos may still make concessions to some regulations, this is so that users are not too burdened with existing regulations. Regulations will indeed continue to bear fruit without any notification and that is the policy of every casino.

But if the fake news is aimed at a trusted casino, then the fake news will have no effect. The people who spread the fake news will experience bad things, especially if the casino can provide valid evidence that the person has done things contrary to the casino rules. People will defend that trusted casino because they see that a trusted casino will not do things that could harm the reputation of that trusted casino. For this reason, as a beginner, we must know the rules of the casino that we use to play gambling because each casino's rules are different. Do not let small things get our gambling accounts blocked and that is because of our own mistakes.

If the TOS require KYC then the player must abide by the rule since they had agreed on the TOS the moment they clicked the notification that they read and agreed with the terms of the casino and registered to the site. There is no excuse that they failed to read it since they have been notified beforehand.

The ToS regarding KYC is indeed a sensitive matter. If a casino already requires KYC to make withdrawals or then it must be complied with. But of course there is a minimum withdrawal that requires KYC, because some casinos don't want to lose all their customers by fully implementing KYC for new users. and regarding the use of a VPN, even though it is written in the ToS there are several casinos that I use allow the use of a VPN even though it is prohibited in writing, I was even contacted directly. this is probably because I'm a new user and the casino is still just released.

Isn't it fake news? Meaning it is not true so I do not think that news to dimerit a casino will ever make a casino in a bad rating as long as the casino had established a fact that they are right and that the player breach their TOS. That is enough to redeem the casino out of this fake news.

Sometimes the VPN is not completely anonymous and your real IP will be seen too as far as I know if you use a public and free VPN obviously it will be problematic too because maybe the VPN IP is also used by other people to access the same site so it is detected that you are doing multiple accounts, that's why maybe the reason using a VPN is too dangerous for a gambling account too unless you buy with a premium account maybe it's safer.

I have never tried using a VPN to access gambling sites because I am not an anonymous person, so as long as the site is trusted, why not access it with a real IP, sometimes there are gamblers who don't want the IP they are using to be seen, whether it's because of privacy or they want to play cheating but don't want to. detected from other crimes. why do you have to use a VPN if you can use a real IP to play gambling.

No.

You don't know why VPNs are banned

It's because they cannot establish your country of origin through IP. That's it.

Withdrawing his winnings seem very considerate but some casino just allow them to withdraw what they deposit. I think we have seen these happen every time there is a scam accusation where the user did something against the TOS. Its often just what was deposited as allowed to be withdrawn.

I'm not sure if authorities will find it illegal when casinos have lots of domain to mirror their website so that users from countries where gambling is illegal don't have to use VPN.

Because the casino caught the cheating gambler, the casino would not allow him to withdraw all his money. Apart from that, casinos also provide a deterrent effect to other gamblers so they don't follow what the cheating gambler is doing.

If a casino has multiple domains, it may be a mirror if gamblers from different countries cannot access one of the domains. And with that many domains, gamblers can still visit the casino. Apart from that, trusted casinos also always tell their members to follow the official domain and include the mirror domain if they cannot access the official domain.

Every casino must have this prohibition and of course we have to comply with it so that if we violate it, like it or not, we have to be able to accept the risk of sanctions that will be given by the casino.
-snip-

As far as I know, most online casinos prohibit the use of VPNs for their users, but so far I haven't encountered any problems using a VPN when playing on my casino platform. Indeed, in their regulations, they provide sanctions for players who use VPNs, but as a casino platform, they also need players on their platform to keep their business running. So you could say that their regulations, in my opinion, are just a formality, because in practice they don't impose sanctions on users who use VPNs.

There are some who may penalize for violating using a VPN and some who don't because I've never used a VPN so it's best to just be safe, don't want to look for trouble, especially since it's prohibited in their TOS. it's best to communicate with CS first so you can find out whether it's allowed or not because if you want to use a VPN there shouldn't be a problem because it can also help more gambling users.

My personal opinion is also if the casino prohibits the use of VPN it's a bit funny, sometimes we don't know why the user is using a VPN it could be that their government prohibits access to gambling so they have to use a VPN but if that is also prohibited by the casino it will be very strange because it can reduced existing gamblers. but directly maybe I will try to contact CS if one day my government blocks gambling sites and uses VPN to access gambling.

I'm aware that some casinos regulate the use of VPNs, but in general a lot of the big casinos even encourage it (considering they want more wealthy players from countries where gambling is prohibited to play with them). Some of them even cater their content and bonuses specifically towards those players from the Middle East and Islamic countries where gambling is strictly prohibited and punishable by incarceration, as seen here: https://myser-gambling.com/online-casino-saudi-arabia/

My only recommendation would be to make sure you aren't using a dodgy VPN, but one that actually hides the fact that you are using a VPN from the websites and apps you visit (they usually aren't free, though).

Now, the question is.... Will you still use a VPN, if it is not allowed by the ToS on the site. What will you do if they "block" your account and take your balance?

VPNs should not be used in casinos that prohibit it in their TOS, although some casinos accept VPN use. In this case the gambler can conduct his normal gambling but can restrict his account after a big win. So as a responsible gambler each of us should be absolutely safe from our own place. While some gambling platforms are flexible with VPN usage, not all gambling platforms are the same. I would definitely avoid sites that don't allow VPN use. And if someone wants to use VPN with risk, he will be responsible for it.

But there are some casinos that look for excuses and very small things to punish the gamblers out of their money, and such casinos will never take even the smallest things lightly like using a VPN for only logging into the platform but not gambling, they will take that and use it against you only to confiscate your funds.

Indeed a lot of casino are actually looking for slight error from their customers especially when he or she might have acquired some huge winnings, I have seen many casino online restrict users of their big winning due to some violation of their Tos and the problem is no one actually have time to even read these TOS in these gambling sites so for me I just go through the FAQ of the casino to actually have some insight not to violate any of their regulations.
