Also one of the concern of free VPN is the potential to share IP with other casino players that violates terms. You might get connected and freeze your account even though you are not with them. Premium VPN is a must.
This should be most important for players who use free VPNs, maybe they are not cheating but the IP is the same as other players who are cheating so that it affects our accounts, unfortunately players often don't realize this, and because they are reluctant to spend money on premium VPNs they end up with things that are detrimental to him, so if you really like to gamble VPN should be included in the equipment for gambling.
by this logic any VPN would put you in the same basket as other users
even a premium one could give you the same IP as a cheater
but yes you're right
if you're concerned about privacy you shouldn't probably use KYC casinos anyway, and on the other hand if you're KYCing then it makes no big difference to tell them your IP because they'll already have your main address
it's a bit of an oversimplification but you get the idea
