Is gambling acceptable in your country?

[Rubel007]

In my country Indonesia gambling is illegal side and not acceptable yet, our government restrict with gambling activities suspended all way for accessing to gambling platform. But many illegal our local gambling site always appear every time and seems not trusted yet how easily make new gambling platform website and avoid not ability to withdraw our winning.
But many our citizen only believing with global gambling platform and avoid from local gambling site with easily change their domain and make our fund loss there, I think every country have the own regulation about gambling platform are legal or not depend their majority of that country religion.

It can be said that many local gambling sites are fraudulent, they only take the gamblers' money without giving them their winnings, even if they win it is not big, they are not transparent, and they are prone to being raided by the authorities.

Local and and some platforms that are new are more likely to happen in those sites. One of my friends who got a big win after a long time but his account was removed. That is why no one should gamble on a platform that is likely to fail to give big wins or they may be lost.

Have your friend play on those gambling site which are not allowed in your country like I have heard something like this issue that they played on those casino which are not allowed it in their country and play on those casino by using the VPN or the proxy and once have big reward they required to fill the KYC and in this case they failed to do that and that is why they also unable to access that prize.

Gambling is an individual thing. It's something that an individual determines on it's own. Whereas, there is no prohibition or restrictions by the government does not mean that there is free license to gamble by the Nigeria government. This is because,  gambling on its own is an investment,  that can pay or fails in substance.  But in this investment,  the government does not make any profit,  from it. Games of skill are allowed. While games of chance are illegal and rightly prohibited in Nigeria.

but once the Nigerian government makes money out of gambling activity, they are allowing gambling correct?

in the case then, it doesn't have much difference to most counties that allowed casinos form the start. but i can understand there is always a battle of political parties in the country, none are open for bipartisan agreement for both parties to benefit to the casinos and online gambling.  its an old case that had been going on for decades. even the most catholic county can become a tourist destination for gamblers when laws are changed.

Even though this thread is old and has already have decent number of replies no one really pointed out OP made a mistake that users can gamble from the country via online if it's banned but in reality it doesn't work like that users from banned countries are not allowed to access the online platform as well and there's list of restricted countries along with that notice of no user should access from the restricted jurisdiction.

You are right as restricted countries are not allowed by casinos to access their website but the truth is that some gamblers still gamble from those nations with the aid of VPN and so far it has been helping them to bypass protocol without being caught. Sometimes I wonder how they do it to not be detected. In some cases, casinos that do not bother about KYC do have them in surplus as they do use VPN to access the casino. The truth is that you can never tell if  a  gambler is using VPN as long as they have fulfilled all KYC requirements as requested and their details matches with their IP location that alone would be very difficult to unmask.

That is why change always opens up possibilities which we can then us in order to establish something that is better for everybody. Altogether, we will be able to come up with the best environment that will pave way for economic growth and at the same time boasting of being a responsible society. Appropriate policies coupled with non-twisted management will facilitation the equitable share of value to society and not for a selected stakeholders. As citizens, stakeholders, consumers, businesses and policy makers we all have a duty of stewardship to make sure that every action we take is aimed at creating value and leaving behind that which will be beneficial to the next generation. Discipline and watchfulness are the main qualities, in order to ensure that every action we make carries significant value and has a substantial effect on our improvement process collectively.

I just want to share this story of my classmates guy #1 told me that our guy #2 classmate that works overseas has won millions worth of our local currency from online gambling but the problem is that it is prohibited in the country he was working and he was deported because of suspicious transactions of money that he sent to his family in our country which does not correlate the value he got from his salary. What makes it worst is that some of his money was put on hold and he's now using our other classmate guy #3 to loan money to fullfil guy #2's urge to gamble. Until such time that guy #2 arrived in our country his money was still on hold overseas what's left with him is the huge amount of loan he is facing right now and guy #3 as a middleman to that said loan is currently paying on behalf of  guy #2.

I was really shocked when guy #1 shared that story because I never expected that to happen to them, by the way guy #1, #2 and #3 were my previous uplines as agents in online gambling but I quit after I think just less than a year.

If the casino site thinks that they will trace all the gamblers and if there is any error in them, then they will find out those errors and take appropriate action, they will definitely succeed in that action but they can lose many gamblers in that case. That is why they never try to do so. Many people are successfully managing their gambling by using VPN but there is no obstacle there and due to the convenience of using VPN, people will now get the opportunity to gamble in countries where gambling is restricted or banned.

aren't they comparing the IP you use while your KYC is being confirmed?  i'm sure they are doing this for there is no sense in asking the KYC documents if they aren't. 

but maybe the case where users are screaming casinos scam when sooner the user's account was suspended after the casino caught them winning large sum and then the casino checked their KYC and the IP didn't match.

Gambling is acceptable in my country, people can gamble as they want, but they may not have to publicly announce themself or take it to the street on what they are doing, to an extent, we need some level of security measures to be taken in other to help us not to be affected by any external influence being a gambling, such could be an attack from the government, other people or even our fellow gamblers who knew what we do, but once the law does not forbids gambling in a country, then things can be done as well as enjoyed regarding gambling in any country..

It's really a shame if this happens, it's useless to have a big win if you can't claim it, it's better not to play than to force yourself to play and when you win you can't withdraw it

That is why, if gambling is legal, then there is a place for people to get the pleasure as they desire, but there exists still an obligation in the process. Some elements in how we assert that freedom without detracting the lives of people around us which include the aspect of invading privacy and other social etiquette that go with the personal freedom. Moreover, it is right about clear rules and safety for everyone, excluding possibilities for certain risks which is important for making secure environment. It means not only we have rights to enjoy our freedoms, but also understand how together we ensure to strike a balance between our freedoms and functionality of society.

You are right, if casinos compare IP location  and KYC, they might likely ban many gamblers account with their casino and these gamblers to be banned are those from restricted nations and this would mean a loss for them but however, I believe most casino are aware of some of their client or customers activities and maybe they have not won big hence they do not want to act, they just keep betting and loosing to the benefit of the casino so they do not bother them but allow them to gamble till they catch the big fish that is when they would remind them that they know about their dirty act but did not say anything about it. This just my annoyance with casinos. They would not take action early enough but would want to benefit from the member when they have lost enough but when they start winning big that is when they would recall the gambler cut corners to access their platform.

Even then it is worst thing ever but I think we should also be aware of this because I have same lots of cases that the player just can't withdraw his  reward from the casino because of only this laws.
In case of avoid this situations we should play on those casinos which are only available in our region and those who have VPN friendly terms and conditions..

That's why I think it's better to do KYC first when gambling. Otherwise, the gambler can be caught cheating at any time but there will be no proof of his identity. If someone gambles without doing KYC, then he is at the highest risk. The only reason to take time to read the terms and conditions when gambling so that gamblers can avoid any problems in the future.
