It's better not to endanger ourselves by gambling. After all, we still have a list of other casinos we can choose and use for gambling. And I don't think these casinos are too strict in applying the rules, so we can use a VPN to play gambling.
I think the better option is to use the other casinos which are allowed in our region or allow the VPN. But again I am against the using of VPN because it can create problems. Because I was reading a thread in which the guy was saying some casinos change the ToS silently and don't say anything to the users. So if a casino is allowing VPN first but it can change the rules anytime so its better that we should not use VPN to safe ourself from future problem.

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?
I would not use a VPN on that case, after all while there are some casinos which are permissive with those polices, what would you do the day you get a huge win which could change your life for the better and then your win gets canceled and your account closed because long ago you used a VPN to gamble and you are suspected of having several accounts? In that case the casino will have the TOS on their side and there will be nothing you can do to reverse that decision.

And while that's true, there are still plenty of people that don't know about that fact with these free VPNs.

Actually, the technical and sensitive issue here is the risks of doing online gambling in a country where it's illegal.

As OP said, he intends to use VPN, maybe not for hiding the region from the gambling site (for let's say the site allowed it) but to continue his gambling activity in a country where online gambling is illegal. Gamblers should respect the country's law about gambling and regardless if the gambling site is allowing the use of VPN, we should just obey anything in a country where we are only a visitor.

I can't even believe that some users primarily still think of the possibility of their account being frozen rather than facing the wrath of the law and being penalized in a country where online gambling is illegal. If we are to travel to those countries, we should set aside our gambling interests for the meantime.

I can't find one good reason to do it, nor i don't understand why people constantly do it. And after they get caught they will complain about why they were allowed to play and use vpn in the first place. That doesn't make any sense. They can't do anything, they don't even have legal grounds to get their money back since they breaking TOS from the start. So they knowingly risk their balance as they know it could be gone any minute.

I guess they just think they are never going to get caught because they haven't so far.


You know that there are people who are really that stubborn or hard headed on which they would really be doing on things which are really that prohibited on which it would really be that understandable that once you do able to commit out some violation then you are really that subject to consequence. Why people do really love on engaging into things which they do see that it is really that not allowed or prohibited?
Its really that just right that you should really be following about those terms and conditions and not really that going against it.  If you are really that serious on doing such act then you would really be facing up some possible problems if they do able to caught you in. Using up VPN is neither allowed or not on a casino due to regulation or whatsoever kind of reason which as a player or user of a certain site then you should be
wary about their do's and dont's which is mainly been that listed or written on their terms and conditions and thats why its really that important for you to read up things first.

If it has been banned or not allowed I will not use the VPN or try to log in. I will just leave the online Casino and choose another casino that will allow me to play without access blocking.
Me either but if they allow it then that's a good rule. But mostly, we want to obey what the rules are and what they're saying. We don't want to compromise our funds leaving on these casinos but if you're okay to do that, you're up to make your own choices.

Using a VPN, especially a free one, of course it will be dangerous because many people will use the IP. Better to play in a fully allowed casino. it also will not give you the risk of losing money or other problems.

I can understand the desire for using VPN to bypass restrictions, but I don't believe it's a good idea in the long run and using a VPN against the site's Terms of Service is a risky move. If the casino blocks your account and confiscates your balance, you have no grounds for argument. If a casino explicitly forbids VPN usage, it's generally best to respect their policies to avoid potential repercussions and it's better to focus on finding reputable platforms that provide a hassle-free gambling experience without the need for VPNs.


We definitely agree that there is no advantage to using a VPN for the long-term process. Although it seems logical to use a VPN to pass restrictions in the short-term it is actually a temporary solution for the user to pass the restrictions. As you mentioned in long-term use unfortunately there is no institution or organization that the person using the VPN can complain to because accessing this service by overcoming a serious crime barrier if any access block or restriction is imposed on the account. This actually turns into a serious disadvantage for the gambler with the use of not very reliable services.

From time to time I use VPN in casinos even if it is forbidden by TOS, because I don't keep money in casino accounts and I realize the risks of losing winnings because of it, so if possible I withdraw funds immediately if I win. To be honest I can't even explain why I do it when there is a huge number of casinos where you can play without using VPN. Maybe it is the additional risks that allow me to tickle my nerves, or maybe it is a desire to play where it is not allowed.

That is the inner gambler in you, maybe the adrenaline rush or it's just the risk that you have to take.

But as for my case, I haven't used VPN while gambling, it's because it's legal here. However, there are platforms that bans our country, and with that, I don't want to used VPN. It's ok for me to look for other casinos that will allow me to play without having to go to a VPN.

It's better to play comfortably though, instead of thinking that the casino's might caught you using a VPN and get your account suspended with your money in it.

We don't need to use a VPN if there is a ban from the casino because that can cause our account to experience problems such as blocking or even closing the account. We will feel sorry for breaking the rules and may ask for help from the support service to unblock it.

It's better not to endanger ourselves by gambling. After all, we still have a list of other casinos we can choose and use for gambling. And I don't think these casinos are too strict in applying the rules, so we can use a VPN to play gambling.

I don't understand why someone would force their will to gamble on a platform that is strictly off limits to them. I mean a VPN is not the best option for anyone to bypass restrictions because it is one of those violations that can get you in trouble. Of course I would never do it even just to bet a small amount, the essence of the offense is a violation and casino users must comply with it.

There are many casinos that can be used without VPN as long as the country's government and the casino don't prohibit you from participating as a user. Even if this isn't about you, it's clear similar suggestions should be considered by other users.

I would never recommend you to access the online casinos with a VPN connection. Most of the gambling websites won't allow such connections because it's against their terms and conditions. Even if they allow you to access and use their websites with the help of a VPN connection, your chances of getting banned are very high, and they might freeze your money and stop all the withdrawals. In some cases, the gambling sites might also freeze your account and you might not be able to use the site or withdraw your money.

For such users the customer support is not going to be helpful because of T&C violation. Even, if a site allows a VPN connection and has no such T&C to punish such uses who connects through a VPN, a user should still try his/her best to avoid such connection because most of the VPN connections aren't safe for such activities and you might get hacked if the client of a VPN connection is vulnerable to online remote code execution.

Most of those clients have some flaws and the hackers can penetrate the system of the users who install such clients. Sometimes some malicious VPN providers do that on purpose to take advantage of less tech savvy users. I recommend you to avoid those VPN connections at any cost for such activities.

No and I would not even attempt to do anything which is against the ToS of a certain casino.

Remember that ToS exists in order for the gambling casino to stipulate all the allowed and prohibited acts. It is considered as constructive notice to everyone even if you do not read the entire ToS posted on their website. The moment that you do something which is against their rules, your account which has some funds, may be taken against you without any given notice. In addition, they might also use it as a leverage in the event that you win big and they can validly refuse to cash out your winnings.

In conclusion, avoid things that is against the rules. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow- do something which is prohibited then expect the necessary consequences that follow it.

Definitely not, breaking any of their terms will put our account and all the money in it onto complete risk so I don't dare to do it knowingly. And I advise any if you guys to have dedicated proxy by paying subscription when the casino allows the usage of VPN because using free VpN will again cause out account to be under risk since the same IP can be used by hundreds of others so it will definitely alert the security system of casino and halt all the actions then lead to investigation, verification process and so on.

I think if they are not allowing you to use VPN so you should avoid to use VPN because if you will not follow their terms and conditions so they can ban your account or they will not allow you to use their services. So it will better you should not use the VPN. And if you want to use VPN so you can use the VPN at your own risk. And I will not use VPN if it is mentioned in terms and conditions.
We don't need to use a VPN if there is a ban from the casino because that can cause our account to experience problems such as blocking or even closing the account. We will feel sorry for breaking the rules and may ask for help from the support service to unblock it.

Well, as far as taking your balance goes, I think they have to return to you all your deposited funds but they can take the winnings back. I am not sure about the laws regarding this situation. But they can definitely freeze your account for breaking their terms and conditions. That is for sure.

I would rather not use a VPN, if it is stated to not be allowed in their ToS. I wish to keep my winnings, of course.

Why would anyone who lives in a country in which gambling is legal wish to use a VPN in the first place? You already had to give the casino your KYC details, so they know who you are...

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?

I always wanted to be on the safe side.  I'd rather control myself from using VPN if ever I went to a place where restricted by the platform.  The fund and the platform is always there waiting for us to access but to be in a safer situation, keeping ourselves clean from using VPN if the casino forbids us to use VPN will save us from future problems.

If they block my account for using VPN while it is stated on their TOS that the use of VPN is forbidden, then there is nothing to do except request the casino to return my deposits if ever there is still left on my account and accept the punishment, it was my fault for using the forbidden software so there is nothing to argue about it.

However, I don't believe it will be a good idea. Some people are still utilizing VPNs to get over the limits. In the near term, utilizing a VPN might be fun, but there could be negative effects later on. It would be better to abide the rules than break it because we might be putting our accounts at risk which could also affect our funds in the future.
There are some instances wherein some casinos allow VPN usage but most of them restrict it. If a casino of my choice would not allow VPN usage, then I will just look for a reliable and reputable site where I won't be needing to use VPNs. It's better to play freely without any doubt and fear of having our accounts restricted.

Well, I posted this based on a some people trying to use excuses to get out of account bans for using VPNs... knowing that it was illegal in their country and also knowing that it was against the ToS of the site.

Based on the replies to this thread, most people will not risk losing their account balance or their whole account for breaking the rules that are stated in the ToS.

I think most of the comment here is from user that online gambling is allowed. They don’t feel this kind of restriction that’s why it’s easy for them to give an opinion like that since it’s just hypothetical.

But like gambling experience which everything is different on actual. I get the point why people on restricted country still risking playing using VPN since they doesn’t have a choice to play aside from breaking their rules. Like using an illegal drugs, People will always find a way to use a service that is not allowed on their country especially if it’s a great source of entertainment.
