RESTRICTED AND ALLOWED COUNTRIES TO PLAY IN A CASINO

Can you request to all casinos to post their allowed and not allowed countires at your website pls. So that the players won't be having hard time and problems in the future.

In order to prevent problems. Lessen complains.  And lessen workloads of support and chat people.

And update it every now and then.

Thank you.

Kindly post here pls if you like this.  To create a clamor for the casinos to provide us the list.

Please support this.  This is for us players benefit.

Hi angeleumi,

Sometimes this information isn't available at the casino so it would be very difficult to post the "unknown" information here.

Where country restrictions are known, these are posted.as and when they can be posted. 

I should mention that it is also the responsibility of the player to know whether gambling is allowed in their jurisdiction.  A standard sentence may be included on a casino website that reads something like this "Internet Gambling may be illegal in the jurisdiction / country in which you are located or residing. The Player retains sole responsibility for any gaming activity to ensure no law or legislature prohibiting gaming online is contravened."

If you are USA, just look at the All Casinos list where you can see either an American flag or a greyed out flag on the left hand side of the list.

I hope this helps a little.

It is the casinos responsibility and help to the  players to provide us the list at one site where we can see all and choose freely and rightly where we are allowed to play.

And a casino that could provide us list would have an advantage cause we will know that they are serious in having the right player to play with them.  Therefore,  those casinos who would provide the list will be the ones we will support and play with cause they honestly give us the right information and free our mind from further problems when we are playing.

Does anyone agree?

And your list in ALL CASINO only have the US flag.  How about me? I'm a filipino.  What about Philippines?  What about the 200plus more countries here on Earth?

The only way would be for someone to create a thread with countries not allowed at each casino.  That is a task and a half as there are over 400 casinos on the All Casinos page.

I do understand what you are saying angeleumi as I know you had a problem at a casino that changed from allowing Phillipines to not allowing Phillipines (because it suited them).

I'll think about creating a thread listing all non-allowed countries for each casino and get back to you on that.

We can ask the help of the casino reps in providing and updating the list for their casino.

If i may suggest, 1 exclusive board for the title and 1 thread each casino for that casinos list would be good. To avoid mixing and confusion on lists.

Angeleumi - be careful about the Top 10 Casino list on this website.  It states they are the best 10 casinos ON THE INTERNET, but they are all U.S. casinos which this forum says are "most popular" with the members.  These are not the best casinos on the internet.  Your choices to play are most likely much greater than U.S. players, so you can do way better than Slots Jungle. 

I'd try Bet365 or maybe another reputable Playtech if I was from the Phillipines (games are great).

Hi blue,

It is not a mammoth task. LCB would just provide the space for the thread, and it is up for the casino reps to put their casinos respective thread for their list of allowed or restricted countries in their casinos.

Definitely, those casinos or casino reps who could provide the list would have the advantage of our support cause their list would let us know if we are allowed in their casino.  Therefore, those who has the clear list would be the priority casinos also in our personal list to play with.

It would be very helpful to have that thread or list because there are casino who always hides the fact or sometimes just bans or disallow without apparent legal or valid reason and makes the certain provisions in their T&C as an excuse when well in fact the real reason is that they can't accept the fact that the player is winning and its just hard for them to accept that.  And they make the country not  allowed as reason more often than not. 

We are the customers. We are the source of their income. They must provide good service. They must satisfy us. Casinos who doesn't satisfy us doesn't deserve our playing time and money.

They are making their T&Cs as their most idiotest excuse.  We all know that T&Cs are made solely for their own advantage.  T&Cs are made to have loopholes and many excuses.

To all players, these are our hard earnered money.  We should act.  We should not allow them to make us look idiots.  Its about time for us to think about this.

The casinos who would support this would be the casinos who is worth playing with cause they are honest and have a good intention of providing good service.  Wake up.

In many cases, the information is easily found in the terms and conditions. Being knowledgeable about where you deposit is your responsibility; however we are in the business of simplifying life for our members.

It would certainly be something that could be added to the casino reviews as a convenience to players during monthly updates.

It's just a thought which could be a task for a later date but any decisions regarding that are for the big boss to make. That would involve programming and can't be done instantly.

Zuga will surely address this when he has the opportunity.

Blue: Thanks for the explanation.

I pretty much know who doesn't take US and more are joining rank.  

I periodically look at ALL Casinos on the off chance a US flag will appear.

Hi angeleumi,

creating such topic is not realistic. There is too many casinos and too many countries to be able to put all that info at one thread.

In regards to adding restricted countries to our reviews. It is very tricky to keep such info up to date, again due to amount of casinos we got listed and casino T&Cs constantly changing in regards to restricted countries.

Further more all that info we would have to collect manually and check for all the changes regularly , which is enormous amount of work. We would also be at risk of missing some info, or some terms being outdated.

So ultimately its up to each player to check these terms themselves.

What we do however, is always list restricted countries when we publish exclusive promotions here at forum and under bonus reviews.

Your suggestion has been noted though, and we will give it some thought in the weeks to come ( as we are currently extremely busy ).

cheers
Zuga

Thank you Zuga.

May I just point out some of your details:

"Further more all that info we would have to collect manually and check for all the changes regularly , which is enormous amount of work. We would also be at risk of missing some info, or some terms being outdated."

  -it should be the responsibility of the casino reps to post, update and inform players about the changes.

"So ultimately its up to each player to check these terms themselves."

  - The T&C that has many loopholes.  The T&C that they use to make excuses.  What a life. 


The casino that would support my ideas would be the casino that I would play more and lobby to other players that they should play in these casinos also.  Because these casinos would be pro-player, honest and intends to give excellent service to the players, their lifeblood.

maybe its an idea if we make a list of countries and put your name on it where you live..so you can PM the people that live in the same country and ask them which casino they play??

What i am wondering is who decided what countries are restricted? Is it independently decided by each casino, software or where they are licensed.

If there is a group casinos operated and owned do they all follow suit? I see where you are coming from runner and it is certainly a mess trying to decipher where everyone can play depending on jurisdictional restraints.

For the US it is a bit easier cuz we are denied practically everywhere!

Lips

I sometimes talk with a chat moderator when I found out that I could not play with their . and he told me that my country will not accept them. everything that is legal in one country, one need permission from the government. but on the other hand, the casinos can decide which countries they want to accept, some countries abuse their bonuses. gambling addiction remains, U.S. is a big country with many inhabitants. the likelihood of gambling is not 50-50. Unfortunately, our chance of winning is smaller ... you could be rich if you can run online casino in the whole USA! LAS VEGAS might be not happy with you (politics)

therefore it is accepted almost everywhere Netherlands. In the future I hope that USA is accepted everywhere! My idea would be foolish, but it makes it easier for people who want to know where they stand.

I think it would be more of a headache to have each country allowed and restricted.  Can you imagine muddling through all that?  

Casino X                     Allowed                    Restricted
                                 Bulgaria                    USA
                                 Amsterdam                Albania
                                 Tiawan                      Angola
                                 Phillipines                  Laos
                                 Russia                       Egypt
                                 Japan                        Ghana
                                 China                         Grenada
                                 Mexico                      
                                 Italy
                                 Asia
                                 Iceland
                                 Germany
                                 Jordan

Just a quick example but I wouldn't take the time to look through 400 casinos and 237 countries for each.  

For me.... It would be easier to do a quick check with a casino I may be interested in.

Just my 2 cents

Someone better read this post cuz it took me a few minutes to come up with that many countries.

We are working on the as a casino review level... should be a month or 2 away.

in Romania and Bulgaria gambling is legal is done by a licensed company as casinos...so you can gamble as much as you want if the game is organized by them

- Restricted and allowed to play  in casino - is few reason  To one casino  accepts example     most place but excludes example 10 country  

2 - most  importand reason   for excluded some country group   to play  or use no deposit or deposit promotions is.

1- Law regulations is some country -  So Usa excluded to play in 3/4 Good Trust Place.

2- Poor Quality Traffic from Some country group -  A lot bonus Hunters - Multiplayers(Multiacconts) - And     small numbers good depositors  -      

Casino wonna make money     they wonna find good players -  Somtimes give them 10  or 20 free with some  wagering   so they  try  find  a lot good  quality  traffic players  -Players registered and  use free money  -     play try  software  games - Next  thy will be  depositors     - and     make  often deposit and plays - So Casinos  nedd good conversions -   This work  usually  good with players from  Some  geographic location Country Group -    - the best conversion   no depositors - to depositors.---  Next    is some group medium quality traffic

And finnaly the worst Quality traffic from Some country group - Called Bonus Hunters - and casino  if open   Some Promotions - Deposit or No deposit -  usually dont make money with    Players from   some countries.
Becose conversion not work - Very Massive traffic from few countries registered only to take free chips and try withdrawal without risk - But from all this group   mayby 1%  back with deposit - 1-2% is very bad conversion  ...   Example from the best traffic from  Few Country -   who use no deposit bonus and next make often deposit conversion can be  10-15 or 20%

So     -  New casino often add some group countres to not allowed to play in terms and conditions country list. - or not allowed to  use no deposit or deposit bonus promotions.

So  this is 2   Reason im know -  Not allowed  becose  - law in some countries  -   Gambling prohibition  - Or  Summary   to bad Quality Traffic  from few countries.  

    Hi e1!!
I hv a suggestion...to help our fellow LCB'ers, if we try an join a site an realize our country is restricted, we should all make a point in posting on the site's review page. This way it will avoid hassels for any 1 person on keeping this list up to date...we all pitch in...I for 1 would be happy to do it...
            Have a good one and win big

When I first started gambling online abt  3/4 yrs ago, for the 1st 4 months I went crazy signing up at every  free, no deposit bonus casino site I could google. After that I moved on and played only bingo sites.

I just recently started playing at casinos again in the last 4 months coz I can no longer play at any bingo site powered by my favourite software… globalcom.

I played bingo practically everyday… at home on the pc and on my mobile everywhere else so I was shocked wen I found out abt the ban.  There was nothing written on the site informing me of the change so I didn’t no why I kept on getting redirected back to the  homepage every time I tried to login that morning. I had to go to live support to find this info out.

I was able to register and play at all the online casinos but now due to the new restrictions imposed only a few months ago, I am finding that I am no longer allowed to play at a lot of these casinos anymore.

The casinos should inform players of any new terms & policies that will affect them.. but they don’t.

The casinos should have a current list of all countries restricted from playing at their sites… but they don’t.

There are a lot of other things they should do but they don’t…,

I went and checked on several bingo and casino sites and they still havnt till this day added my country on the restricted list.
how can u expect LCB to keep the list updated when they, themselves havnt even bothered to update the T&Cs on their own site.

I totally agree with blue abt it being a mammoth task especially since so many new casinos are opening up practically every month while just as many are closing down.

At the end of the day be responsible with your hard earned cash.
Don’t play at sites that u think are shady and dodgey and
Don’t be an idiot by not reading and understanding the sites T&Cs properly b4 u make a deposit there

We can ACT and help LCB staff inform players of these changes by posting them in the comments section of that casinos review page.

i went through LCBs bingo and casino list and posted comments at the casinos that I know of that have changed restrictions just to help out a bit….

I agree, it's very hard to track terms for all casinos but I've noticed that most of them have updated list on registration page and you can easily scroll through allowed countries.

Problem is with RTG casino because they have all countries listed in registration page but when you hit register you see if you are eligible to sign up or message banned pop's up. Interesting is Neogames software because terms for restricted/allowed countries doesn't exist. If you contact support and ask them for the list they will say, you must register to see.

I think Microgaming, Playtech and Netent software are the most reliable for this information. I always receive an email if my country is no longer welcome and time frame for withdrawal of my founds.

At the end it's player responsibility to check terms before playing in casino.
