Didn’t realize there were so many legal complications around gambling in the US. I knew some states had restrictions, but I didn’t expect that even deposits and payments could be blocked like that. No wonder many casinos just choose to ban US players altogether — looks like the easiest way to avoid trouble.
Do US residents even have what to choose from nowadays? It seems extremely frustrating to see like 9 out of 10 services not accepting customers from The United States. Pretty much any exchange, casino, service I ever entered from an United States VPN has blocked me for living there.
It also got worse and worse through the years. 5 years ago the situation seemed much better than today.
As a U.S. resident, it does seem like the list of accessible platforms is shrinking year by year. Regulations have gotten stricter, and many global exchanges, casinos, and crypto-related services simply don’t want to deal with the legal red tape involved in serving U.S. users. What’s worse is that even using a VPN is no longer a reliable workaround — most platforms detect and block that too. It’s unfortunate because it limits innovation and personal freedom for people who just want access to global tools.
