I think it has nothing to do with license, as long as I know Philippines is one of the restricted by Pragmatic Play in general.
At least I some casino provides the list of restricted countries by providers such as below images:
You’re totally right. If you’re restricted from playing certain games from third-party providers but can still play other games, then the restriction comes from the game provider itself, not the casino. Actually, in some cases, the game provider might restrict you from playing specific games but still allow you to play its other games.
And again if you guys ask for KYC verifications, how do those who created accounts and gamble on your platform via vpn going to pass through the KYC process?
I don’t think using a VPN will pose a problem for identity verification, as long as the user submits their real documents.
