I don't understand the point in having IP block, when we have VPN services available at every nook and corner of the globe.
If you cheat and lie to the casino about where you are from, it's your own fault what happens afterwards. But if you use a VPN for privacy reasons, but you are not located in a restricted jurisdiction, that is OK.
IP restrictions show that the casinos have made some effort to prevent those who shouldn't be on their sites from signing up and gambling there. I have read stories of players from restricted countries being successful in registering at a casino, depositing money, losing bets, with no problems. But when they won something, the casinos started asking questions who they are, and where they are from. If it was discovered they were from a country whose players aren't allowed at that casino, they had their winnings/funds confiscated.
I am interested if restrictions are in place for "mining" sites like Earnbet (ex eosbet), Betfury and Bethash.
I had a look at BetFury but they don't have any info in their TOS regarding restricted countries.
And that conclusions i should draw if gambling sites don't have these ip restrictions in place?
It doesn't have to mean anything or it can mean everything, depends on how you look at it. Maybe they just forgot to implement it, maybe they don't care or consider it an important feature. Maybe they rely on the fact that it is the player's responsibility to read the rules and TOS and adhere to them (which it is). Or maybe they are malicious and haven't done it on purpose. Hoping that players will register and lose. In case they win, they can request KYC and other proof of who the players are and confiscate their winnings if they are from a restricted location.
