What tools do gambling or classifieds sites use to detect or know your using a vpn?
Thanks in advance.
There are multiple ways gambling websites detect that you are using a VPN:
1. You are using an IP that is blacklisted and known as a VPN IP.
2. Since VPNs give you a shared IP address, there is a high chance that many people visited the casino from different devices with the same IP. This way casino knows that there is something wrong with the particular IP and thinks that it's a VPN IP because it's shared by many people.
3. One day you log in via your original location, then from Germany, then from Singapore and so on. This gives them enough data to know that you are using a VPN.
Aside from that the inconsistency of the time zone registered on the platform. Indeed it is easy for the gambling platform to detect players that use VPN and they are very confident when they accuse players of using VPN to breach their terms of service.

To a very basic level, they may know about your location when you register and share your county details in your KYC. After that if you log in the site through VPN, your location changes and they can assume you are using a VPN. This is a very lame explanation of this by me but i am sure that with advanced technologies emerging everyday, it will be very easy to detect who is using VPN and who is not.
True that even if a person uses VPN on their first visit of the site, the gambling platform can easily tell whether you are playing VPN or not after some days of activities on their platform due to the process stated on the earlier replies.
