I did a few test on Cloudbet to see if i'll get the restricted message in the home page like this one. It appeared a few times when using an IP from the UK but after using another vpn service it seems that the restriction message is inconsistent. The IPs I used are from USA, UK, Hong Kong and Singapore since these are the specific countries mentioned in their terms.

This is great a compiled information about which casinos do IP blocks does not all casino block users if their IP is prohibited? I can say that's those casinos does not really care about players.

Would it be better if sites will be restricting IP's even if the user was already created their account before when licensing is still not yet available? Because for me, if they will allow users who have registered before but in a country which is restricted, it could be easy for others to create account using VPN in other country and use it to the platform itself. Thus, they can freely play even if they are in a country which is restricted.

I do partly agree with you. Eliminating of players from restricted region is one way to make this less complicated.
Although, by doing that, their freedom to gamble are also being restricted. I guess VPN is not always the answer? Enlighten me on that.
But at least this thread could give a heads up to player in deciding where to register and watch out for those sites with IP bans.

If someone always reads TOS, they are the cheaters, in fact they are the most informed.

The issue here is simple, you must be aware  find the "conditions of service," etc. and should be read. Only someone who is a novice can put money in a casino or win a prize and then not withdraw it, for something as simple as being prohibited. And then whose fault is it?

In the first instance the casino will freeze the money and then the ban. You claim and it is so simple that in the conditions of service that you accept when registering, the countries that are prohibited appear.

-In the first instance, check, read and look for that information.

-If you are lazy, look for a casino with good support and ask. If it does not offer you this, do not waste time, as I always say the best support solves your concerns, simple questions and general any "timely" and "inopportune" question that occurs to you.


There is a casino on that list that does not block the country, although it appears restricted, the reason is that some casinos know that many users today use VPN or browsers and change the country randomly, so let's say you connect with browser, VPN, proxy, Ghost, etc. so  is assigned to you "x country"  even if the country is restricted, you are accepted, technically accepts you, but Yes/not legally (terms of service).

Actually some casinos also assume the opposite, that you are from a permitted country but you are using a VPN and they assign you a restricted country. So the conditions of service prevail and not the techniques.

Is the above okay? technically and legally "see site conditions," if and only if for example the site supports the use of VPN, if it does not support it and it is written, you should disconnect and register without VPN or whatever you use. If nothing is written, this means that the good faith of the users prevails.

That is to say, in practice what you do is of great help, because it saves users discomfort for those who do not understand, but the technicality of the "legal" registration for some casinos is in its conditions and the user is governed by them, It is not the casino's obligation to "have" to prohibit you, so you should know that it is wrong to do so.

The presumption of good faith between the parties is governed by the contract that is accepted when registering.

In conclusion, what they write in the conditions of service strictly prevails.

I think is DNS blocked by ISP, not IP blocked, or I'm wrong

What do you mean?

That is interesting, I didn't notice redirections when I accessed Sportsbet from other locations. There is just a notification that the site is unavailable for players from your region. I wonder why casinos use different notifications/pop-ups depending on the country you are accessing the site from?!

In case of Sportsbet, it makes sense to redirect the players to their UK branch, but have a look at what I wrote above regarding Stake...

The second batch of casinos has been tested. The results are posted below.
Just like during phase 1, I will now contact each casino that failed to provide a proper IP block with the results.

I think if winning the Jackpot is rare then all they need is to mean what is at stake, and if we use a VPN of course it's not a problem even I often use it like because it's forbidden in my country from that just use it if there's no problem. VPNs still have strong security if you can trust them.
