[bounceback]

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.

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.

like China, they also banned gambling but the Chinese are allowed to gamble in other places including Hongkong.  and there are even Chinese landbase casinos in other countries like in Cambodia and Thailand.

Regardless, Chinese citizens are still not allowed to gamble overseas. Their embassy has been proactive in warning their citizens about gambling in other countries. China has also been asking for cooperation with other Governments to deal with cross-border gambling.

seem hard to believe they don't allow their citizen to gamble overseas. they all seem to be gambling in our country and mr cheng himself is a government official in China plays mah jong so much he died still having a mah jong peice/block in his hand.

there is no stopping the online gambling anymore. we have even seen some articles about teens gambling using their phones inside their school campus. anyone today with a phone can access casinos online. so if its not legal to play on casino in a country yet people have access to internet, everything is possible.

Gambling is highly accepted in my country infact some youths use this gambling as a job and also a means of survival in my country. Some of them even sleep in the casino just to be updated.
When you mentioned that gamble are not allowed in some countries I'm now trying to know which of the gambling you are talking about.
I believe the only gamble that is legal in my country is a sporting bet where you can go to the casino book your bet either in visual or online and it's even allowed in mobile phones.
Apart from this, no form of other gambling is legal or accepted in my country.

Funny how things have changed a bithere. The President boastfully made an announcement that he will issue an order to ban all offshore gaming that operates in specific parts of our country but then allowed the issuance of new licenses for online gambling. You can now see big billboards in major roads promoting betting and gaming as a result.

Not only acceptable, but government itself is providing us with gambling so that others don't. I mean its not very liberal, but I find it quite understandable approach to it, when you let private companies open up casinos, you do not know what type of people there are in there, whereas when government has a "casino" which is sportsbook in my nation, then you end up with something better. They are giving some private companies some rights and some licenses etc as well these days and selling their own rights, but we could definitely consider the improvement very well, and I haven't seen too many bad news about gambling here. There are also a lot of illegal gambling as well, but they are illegal so obviously people shouldn't gamble in those casinos.

Everything is fine until the player lose money from gambling but when they wanted to withdraw funds there will be KYC verification on most of the casino in the recent past years so user has to submit a valid document and even if they manage to find someone else's like parent or a relative still they are not going to chance the country name which gives the rights to terminate the account by the casino.

I have done a lot of research to find that many countries do not accept gambling which means you cannot gamble directly even if you want to. But online gambling is now running in all countries and they can easily gamble online while maintaining privacy. But in most of the Muslim countries playing it is totally prohibited so people of those countries cannot directly play offline gambling. However please comment on its acceptability in your country.

And I think my country is also in your list because here our government also banned on gambling and playing gambling in our country is illegal you have to go jail if you caught while you are doing physical gambling in casino.
But as you said we also saw that most of the gambling site are running smoothly in my country even without VPN so they even didn't put the Ip block. Yes there are lots of gambling sites in the world so you can say that impossible to make banned on every IP yes it is true but they can easily banned most sites of gambling but they didn't doing this I also don't know what is the reason behind of this but I think here the governments some authorities doing this because of some their personal benifiacial.

Is gambling not conducted in countries where casinos or gambling are prohibited? I think that no matter how much pressure the governments apply, have they been able to turn the general public away from gambling? If they can't then there is no point in giving them this restriction. But they only put restrictions to avoid their liability so that the general public can't blame them. In my country there is a regulation in this regard but no one follows it. They are gambling and governments know it very well but they can't do anything.

It's funny but expected. Everyone loves money, and casinos will always have the money to make friends with any politician. Casino bosses know very well how to influence people, including big shots. After all, if they are banned, they will start losing money to the point of bankruptcy.

Totally no.

Before you see things like this you should know that the gambling site has the interest of the gambler in that particular region or state and they are making huge profits from that country, they would have no alternative than to make friends with the politicians in order to remain in that country and run there business.
Politicians always like a milking zone and whenever they kept having the resources from where it's coming from they have no problem if they are destroying others people life or not.

I don't personally see that rational behind not allowing people to gamble as it's there fundamental human rights that should be given to them as doing so amounts to a violation if the right of the citizens of the country gambling is something that is even helpful to the countries where they are be made legal by the government as these gambling companies pay tax to the government there by contributing to the economic development of such country so gambling should be made legal for citizens to engage in as it's even a way of creating wealth for the citizens

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.

Personally, I am not aware of any fraudulent gambling sites; however, a gambler should be certain about the reputation of the gambling site before using such a platform for gambling. Most gamblers may fall for a fraudulent gambling site because they are too eager for juicy offers, and one thing about fraud is that it always appears too tempting. Gamblers should always be on the lookout.

However, from my experience, most gambling sites will compel a gambler with a large win to undergo KYC before receiving the winnings. Personally, I am not sure why this is not required when a gambler funds his account, but it is always required before he can withdraw his winnings, especially if it is his first big win on the gambling site.
