Not content with shutting my website down, the UK Gambling Commission has now seen to it that I cannot bet with my bitcoin at the following (so far)
Direct Bet
Fairlay
Nitrogen Sports
BetBtc
Where ever you are in the world, enjoy your freedom.....ours here in Britain is slowly vanishing.

Now Anonibet is blocking us UK punters.
Just Cloudbet left.
This is a nightmare.
Whats the reason for you of not getting yourself a VPN? you can get a very cheap VPN just to bypass this IP block easily and you will still be able to play at your favourite website. Also you can always use a public wifi to access your wallet so that the UK gambling commission could not track your activity
That is the issue.
And how long before the American Gambling Commissions go down the same route?
Surely it won't just stop at us in Britain.
Yes, that is the main issue here. I can't even bet with Doge, which is essentially monopoly money, without going out of my way and wondering if the government are tracking me as a criminal.
I'd actually argue that Doge is not equivalent to traditional money's worth because 1 Doge is approximately equal to 0.0001243 GBP and can't even be converted directly due to needing BTC/USD conversions first.
It was a deeply sad day when betting sites no longer accepted UK IPs to bet with crypto.
If anyone in the gambling commission genuinely believes they are protecting UK gamblers here then they are severely mistaken.
The government may think they are gaining short term but long term it has negative consequences for everyone involved.
