For me, I would rather like to spend more money on the installation of a very good anti-virus with multiple protection purposes than risk using a VPN with casinos. This is especially risky if they clearly state in their terms and conditions that they forbid it. Is that not looking for trouble? Using my local IP anywhere I go in the world puts my mind at rest, and with anti-virus, I am secured pretty fine, which was what I was looking for with a VPN.
I think the comparison is a bit flawed since the nature of those things is quite different. Not to mention everyone values their money and what things to buy differently. If you use Windows buying anti-virus software is a bit redundant since Windows Defender is quite effective, though discussing this further would probably derail the thread. But I agree that you should not use a VPN if the website states they don't allow it in the first place. I'm pretty sure this is probably my third or fourth time saying the same thing in this thread.
