What country to VPN into?

So if you're unlucky enough to be in a country that doesn't allow online gambling, which country do you VPN into?

Eg, which country has the most relaxed approach to online gambling and most game providers/casinos allow access to?


Preferably English speaking countries because it's a bit of a pest having all the sites in a different language...

Hi, you should always check first if the casino allows the use of a VPN. I think they should have similar things written in the Terms and Conditions or you could ask live chat and of course always take screenshots if there are any problems. 

But as for the actual gambling, you can't play at all ? 

I also came across a thread where players are dealing with a similar thing as you, so I'll post it here because it might be helpful to you: https://casino.guru/forum/general-gambling-discussion/vpn--when-to-use-one

So I would like to warn you again to be careful and verify if you can use the VPN.

Oh yes I check if it's ok to use first.

We can play at some casinos in this country but most game providers geo block access to their games.


The only time a provider has recommended a country it was Brazil and that didn't work with some providers.

That's very reasonable.

It almost sounds like Aussie players are blocked pretty effectively. It is hard to suggest a working solution in such a situation. Instead, allow me a question: Would you say that casinos are more sensitive to VPN usage once they accept players from your country?

Because if you ask me, the issue lies in the lack of game providers available on the market to you - probably due to heavy local restrictions.

One way or another, I'm convinced only local players will be able to advise on the subject. 🤔

Yeah I've had casinos that previously have said no to VPN's flip their policy once they were blocked by the government.

The question is whether it is right or not, because circumventing the regulations is not the best way. Personally, I think it can only lead to problems in the future. So I would be cautious. 

Anyway, I hope that some local players will come to you and advise you.

Well our government has decided not to allow us to have regulated casinos, not out of concern for it's citizens but rather due to vested financial interests (eg: bribes) from the entrenched land based gaming lobbies.


They can't in one hand suggest they're protecting us from online gambling while having the largest land based gambling industry in the world.


So yeah, I don't have any moral concern whether using a VPN is 'right'

That's an interesting reading about the gambling situation in Australia. Do I understand it correctly that you can't play on any gambling site online according to your local law?

I use VPN for gaming provider ELK. The country of Holland and Great Britain are helping. After I turn off the VPN, the game continues to work.

It is legal for citizens to play, but not legal for any casino to offer the service unless they have a license from the government, of which they have given out none.


So this results in any law abiding company not offering their service to us, so we have to play at the dodgy joints.

You should always check if it's possible to use a VPN, so that you don't run into problems if you manage to win and go for a withdrawal. Did you ask the casino if it is possible to use it with these providers ?

Hm, so it is quite a complicated case and quite strict. I hope no problems will arise in the future and everything will be fine on your side as far as VPN usage is concerned. 

Or the other option is that they get a license from the government so that you don't have to use it. I think that's probably the harder case.

I agree with you. I also do. But casinos can ignore their own rules.

In this case, it is always useful to take screenshots so that you have proof that the casino told you it was possible, because if they are wrong, then the position is better for the player. Of course, you should always check the terms and conditions to make sure it's the truth. So that's my recommendation not only when using a VPN but for anything that could cause problems.

Hi, the system noticed that the user review had similarities with other user reviews that were submitted to this casino. Therefore, it was rejected because we try to keep them unbiased. I hope you understand. 

As for rain of men, is that a movie ? I have a feeling it's not something I've seen.  🤔

How can I know what reviews from other users are similar to my review? I wrote my review. How can I write a review so that it is successful?

Hello there.

If I may step in, I would like to make this situation more transparent.

I read your emails; actually, I replied to you regarding the screenshot. Thank you for the updated version. At this point and based on the screenshot you sent to me today, I have no obligation not to believe you played at Daddy Casino.

Sadly, as Jaro mentioned, the situation was not so obvious at the time your review was rejected.

You know many players tend to submit false reviews to increase the user rating; hence, we're fighting a constant battle against fraud activities daily. Frankly, your review actually showed several similarities with a certain pattern, which we aim to prevent from being accepted. Well, sometimes an honest player may be caught in the middle. Especially one who uses the VPN apps almost daily. So, given the current circumstances, I'm going to accept the pending user review.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, yet we only aim to protect the unbiased user rating of each reviewed casino. 🙏

Thank you for the answer. If you don't believe me, then I can record a video for you and contact you and clear your doubts. In order for me not to log in using VPN, make alternative links for CIS users.
