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.
In general, clients of cryptocurrency casinos may have a huge number of reasons why they are forced to use a VPN. The reasons may, in a large number of cases, not even be that the person himself, the player, seeks to maintain his confidentiality. Often, many casino clients simply cannot access the casino website at all without using a VPN for reasons of a general political nature. At the same time, the player does not even have the goal of keeping his identity a secret. So it is worth taking into account the interests of such players. And it would be right for the casino not to be too strict about the use of VPN by players. As I understand it, most casinos do just that.
And in any case, a strict ban on the use of VPNs immediately and significantly reduces the number of casino players who decide to restrict entry to their site by prohibiting the use of VPNs.
