Didn't know that stake allow users to use VPN that's a good thing or not? What could be the reason why other casino doesn't allow VPN while the stake allows it would they have an advantage to it?
It's both good and bad. Good thing is that gamblers who can't access the site due to country restrictions can access it without any issues helping Stake increase their player base, but the bad part is that you could be allocated a bad IP which is flagged by the site leading to a ban etc.
These are the potential risks involved which is why it's best to stick to sites that don't restrict you so that you can avoid depending on VPN's.
They allow VPN because even Edward himself uses VPN and he knows there are times when users are unable to access the website like some countries are not allowed but then there are players who are not from that country but maybe on holidays or that kind of things. Edward himself said that we are allowed to use VPN but if you are a resident of a country that is not being allowed by stake then better don't use VPN because you will get in trouble if you are asked to provide KYC in any situation.
I believe a lot of guys want to keep their real IP addresses hidden and hence they use VPN just to make sure they are not being monitored as high rollers are always a target for others.
VPN is not really a good way to go in case if you get like a problem and would have to fill KYC, that is really the only problem, because if you do not give any KYC and you use VPN and never face any problem that means there is nothing wrong with it and you can continue that way forever without any challenges along the way.
This is why I feel like the only thing that blocks me from using VPN most of the time is the fact that I am afraid if one day stake says "we have seen some irregularities with your account, could you please fill this KYC form to continue" I would be really disinterested with that, I do not want to give my KYC information to a casino, why would I accept I am gambling willingly? That wouldn't be flying for me honestly hence why I do not use VPN, so they know my IP and place but not my name.
