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.
It is not flawed my friend but a well-thought-out point. Fine, Windows Defender and others from other operating systems can be viable, but I've seen many flaws when researching them. Needless to say, good anti-virus these days do more than the work of antivirus as the name denotes but also have the function of VPN and many more. Some will be light in such a way that the casino will know it is an antivirus, but will protect your identity which could be the reason why some people are using VPN, even if they do not want to use the VPN for obvious reasons.
Wait a minute, if we are sincere to ourselves, you who are using a VPN to secure your identity with a casino but have registered and completed the KYC with, what are you still securing? In this case, no need to protect who you are from them with a VPN anymore. Thus, the antivirus can do the remaining protection for you if need be to avoid the VPN issue with the casino.
