Yes, it seems like the restriction is only for Germany for now, but its only a matter of time before more countries follow suit. This kind of government-mandated blocking is becoming increasingly common globally, especially concerning content deemed illegal, harmful, or simply undesirable by national laws.

This could very well be the beginning of the end for freebitco.in in the EU, or at least its current form.

What is amazing is how this has gone unnoticed for so many years and it still is in many European countries.

I doubt that's beginning of the end for them in EU. Each country has their own regulations, some is more strict, some is less. If Freebitco.in want to continue operating in countries like Germany, they will have get local license and maybe even make things like KYC.

Oh yeah, they just need to pay €185,000 for the initial licensing fee, just for Germany. For Greece is €2M–€3M, for Italy up to €7M. Then, apart from operating fees later on. Cryptocurrency casinos have been operating as we know them because they have been going unnoticed. If they have to make things legal in Europe, most of them won't be able to, and the few that can will have to massively raise the house edge just to be able to pay the fees.
