@Holydarkness, Correct me if I’m wrong. Being a citizen is what matters for the restrictions and not the current location of the person. Being on restricted country while you are just a tourist in there will easily solve the problem through the use of VPN since the user can easily provide an ID from non restricted country. I believe the ID is the main issue on this case.

Actually, the opposite.

From what a couple of representative explained to me, from different casinos and on separate time and cases, it's the current location that matters, not the citizenship. One even explained once that there are US streamers that go out of their country just to gamble [and made a content from that activities, I assume] and it is fine.

There was a case [different casino, not Rollbit] where the situation is the direct opposite of this, where someone with Brazilian citizenship [an allowed country] works for UK company [restricted country] and accidentally used his work VPN while accessing the site. He got locked away.

I guess that's one of the reason why [like what avp2306 said] many casino frowned upon the use of VPN.

If they just base on the residency, then that is easier to circumvent using a good VPN service. If I know that US "residents" are banned from the platform. All I need to do is use a VPN from a country that is accepted and then claim that I am a US citizen but then a resident of that country that is not banned which makes nonsense.

I think there is a problem of wording in the ToS but they probably meant they don't want anyone from the UK playing in the casino.

If I am not mistaken, their issue is with the license of the said country, not with the people, as in they restrict certain region because they don't have permission by the govt. of those countries to operate on their soil, and not because they refuse or not allowed to provide service to certain nationality.

Thus, a UK nationality are allowed to play in Brazil, as well as US citizen are allowed to play in Mexico, because during that time, they are not within the soil of the restricted countries. The casinos are allowed to provide access to those people.

I'm not sure how accurate this would be. If you are a resident of the UK (or any other banned country) and you just go on a vacation for a few days I'm not entirely sure you'd be in the right if you are depositing, playing and withdrawing from the site. As you are tax liable and so on in the country you are a resident of.

If this guy however lives in Norway and has a VISA or whatever else would be needed - it'll likely be different.

I am not sure about this part and the chance that I am wrong is quite big as I am now shifting to walk in a realm of pure assumption, but from the perspective of tax, digital currency [that happens when we deposited, playing, winning/losing, and withdrawing] are reported in annual report in final form in wealth or assets, thus having few days of vacation and earned or lose a sum of money doesn't change our tax liability, as we still have to report the final amount of it [in final form of assets] during tax season.

While if we do it in traditional way or through fiat [where someone probably liquidate their winning through crypto ATM], there is a regulation when we do international flight that we have to declare to the custom if we brought above USD 10,000. I think one element of things being declared and settled here will be tax related.
