Gambling is banned in my country but actually I am an addicted gambler so online gambling is my addiction which helps me to play in privacy. Moreover, many casino sites do not accept vpn, so if you use vpn there, your account may be closed. There is no compulsion to gamble so it is your personal freedom.
Is it a good thing for you that they don't accept VPN? I think if you're really addicted and VPN isn't really helping you to play, that's likely a blessing in disguise for you to mitigate that addiction of yours. Well, yes that's true there's no compulsion in it but if you're addicted it's yourself that's being compulsive in the first place and that's not a good thing.
It depends on how he see it. It's a blessing in disguise if gambling affects you negatively heavily and somehow planning to quit gambling but for people who just became an addicted to gambling, it's a hassle for them to find casino that they know they can play without worrying the possible problem of using VPN and the country ban.
Just like you I think it's a good thing that VPN is not allowed to some well known casino to reduce or to eliminate the possible effects of gambling addiction but it all boils down to the addicted gambler. An addicted person will find a way to continue their vices even if it mean to gamble on a physical casino that operates illegally.
