same slot game but not available in my region using crypto casino...

When it comes to RTP, it can be difficult for an average player to notice if the RTP of a particular game is higher or lower on one casino compared to another.

especially since most game providers offer lower RTP versions of thier games and it's up to the casino which version they want to offer to their players.
hacksaw for example have 3 RTP options for some of their games, the highest being ~ 96% and the lowest ~ 92%

the % difference is quite big, so unless the casino displays the RTP or you manually check it in the slot rules/info page, you could easily be playing on the low RTP version.

Online crypto casino has changed the gambling industry forever. Unless you have no alternative totally avoid local casinos due to their low RTP. You should treat your gambling too as a business. In business, you don't want to lose money randomly when you know you there is a better alternative where you can be saving more and getting profit.

You can’t have that kind of mindset when playing slot games. Sure, you can look for the highest RTP but at the end of the day, there’s still a house edge. meaning you’ll still lose in the long run. So if you’re thinking of treating gambling like a business, it’s better to focus on other areas, particularly sports betting, where you have more room to use strategy and analysis.

If slot games are not offered at online casinos there are definitely some problems the gambling laws in your region may prohibit crypto casinos. Gambling laws vary from country to country so while online gambling is legal in some countries it may be illegal in others also some crypto casinos do not offer their services in certain regions. This may be due to their licensing restrictions or other business decisions the services of crypto casinos may also be limited.

The restrictions may be from the online casino, they might not support your region for different reasons or there was already a prohibition on gambling from your country that you don't know about, how about proceeding to the casino's ToS (Terms of Services ) first and do some readings? Or just ask their customer services instead.

You can also try another online casino, there are so many this days, I am sure some will support your location because I got away with this in 2023 when a casino claimed that they don't support my location, to my surprise so many others do support my location.

Something keeps telling me that this problem have something to do with the casino's license and game providers, it is easy to solve if you are ready to give others a try.

[dimonstration]

I was just wondering, why are there slot games that say "not available in my region" when I try to play them, but on local casinos, I can play those same games without any problem?

Casino usually have different license scope depending on what kind of license they avail and the country of origin which the casino is operating. Local casino usually acquire a license tailored for the specific country they are operating that’s why game provider custom their game scope dedicated for that country.

To make it simple, it’s due to the casino license and deal to the game provider.

I really prefer crypto casinos because they’re more transparent about RTP. I also read somewhere that game providers can offer different RTP percentages depending on what the casino requests. That makes me wonder if my local casino has a lower RTP, since I rarely seem to win there.

any thoughts on this please.

Most of the time game provider just offer an RTP adjustment higher on the theoretical RTP they disclosed on the game.

You are absolutely right, but also I think the other user is absolutely right too if you will try to see what he meant from his own perspective and understand.

I personally understand well what he meant there, and it's not that we should stand treating gambling as a business like it is a business indeed, but we should treat or take it more like we take a business because in business, we always look out for opportunities that will save us money, and increase our profit.

Same also, comparing local casinos and the modern online casinos, RTP on local casinos are lower, whereas house edge could also be higher, making winning almost impossible. While one the same game on a modern online casinos, RTP is a bit higher, and possibly a bit lower house edge or the same as that of the local casino.. What this means is that, it's always better to choose a modern online casino over a local casino since this two offer exactly the same service, but making profit is more realistic on a modern online casino than it is with local casinos.

If you aren't offering that same in online casinos then you should know it's about regulation issues, the casino doesn't strictly adhered to your local laws and regulations, whereas it's also offered in the local casinos but those operating their are fully licensed but since the online casino doesn't adhered then there are possibilities of restrictions of people from such geopolitical zone.

Your explanation makes a lot of sense, if a game is restricted in your country and you can play it on your local physical casinos that means that your country is not against it. What it leaves us with is that it must be regulation issues, not that it was banned in the OP country. It means that the online casino doesn't fully adhere to the local casino laws in that country. Maybe the online casino hasn't gotten the full rights yet to operate the slot game. Regulations can be tricky, it will cover a variety of clauses and a gambling site will likely need  to cover every aspect before they can operate fully.

[dezoel]

This is also what I noticed and it is pretty annoying right OP? There are also cases before that the games are only available on the crypto casino but not on a local one, though later on I'm seeing many local casinos are now supporting them. I think the answer to your concern would be is the difference of country and licenses.

Like you, I also have a thought before that crypto casinos are maybe more fair when it comes to these types of games but the only thing that holds me from playing on them is the minimum amount for depositing and withdrawals. Your thoughts about providers favouring the casino seems not true. They must be heavily regulated. Oh well, these ' winning chance ' thoughts must be only in our head, hehe.

Local casinos are licensed casinos so they are authorized for the games they operate and the government collects taxes from them every year so they can operate those games. However, not all online casinos are licensed. Again for some special reasons they are restricted for different locations. Again a casino site is legal for some countries but some games are restricted for some locations. It depends on a country's gambling laws

Am very  much certain, just as you have rightly confirmed, that it is regulatory issues that is responsible for such a dilemma our OP may have encountered while trying to play his favorite casino game on a crypto casino.  

Although, I may be unsure how things might turn out if he decides to use something like a VPN to login to the casino to play same game. How the results appear may of course be dependent on how strong the VPN is and also if there's restrictions from the casino in their terms and agreement against using VPN to access their site.
Though I beg to differ because there has been recent upgrades and since cryptocurrencies casinos are still a new thing, am yet to hear of or see anyone who has successfully used a VPN to log into an account and gamble as well as withdraw winnings, successfully.

I think you are correct because not getting the casino games that you are looking for, showing you that such game is not available in your region means the games are restricted in such region. This may be because of local laws which prohibit such kind of games to be played in such a region.

I think the best thing op can do for himself is to leave such game and check on other crypto casinos that would allow him to bet on those games other casinos are restricting him from playing. There are thousands of casinos in the market and it's quite better when he out a try on other casinos too that are genuine and will offer such games without any restrictions.

Some casinos use geo-blocking to comply with laws in specific countries or regions. Even if you're using crypto, which is borderless, the platform might still restrict access based on your IP address or location. It's a bit of a grey area, but that's how it stands for now.
