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

[Numeral]

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?

Local casinos may have illegal copies of these slots, and if you want to play legal versions of slots from your region, only casinos that officially allow VPNs. In general, I've heard that pirated slots in small casinos are plentiful, so if you see a message in the casino that some games are not available in your region, it means with a high probability that this casino uses exclusively legal software. And pirate versions are better to avoid, there default parameters in particular on RTP may differ from legal versions.

Your local casino might not be transparent, because it’s actually a requirement for the RTP to be displayed to players, that’s why you see it clearly on regulated crypto casinos.

I used to think that local and online casinos operate the same way. As I got more experienced in gambling online I found out that they are don't operate in the same way. Online casinos are more transparent when it comes to their RTP than Local casinos. If you played the same slots in an online casino and local casino it is not possible for them to have the same RTP. If you give me the options, I will pick an online casino.  You will even win more in online casinos than in a local casino.

I guess our experience says it all.... Even if local casinos claim to have the same RTP, if gamblers find themselves winning more often on crypto casinos, that naturally creates doubt. That’s why more gamblers are starting to prefer crypto casinos. At the end of the day, that’s all we really want: to win. So we should stick with the casino that gives us the best chance at that.

Usually it is related to some provisions in the casino, for those who do have certain provisions, it can indeed limit some regions. especially if KYC is needed to do it. And yes, just leave that casino and move to another casino. Because I also found several sites like that. especially with the condition that it's illegal for gambling in my casino.

That’s correct and I think during licensing either the game providers or the casino usually have some sort of agreement with the licensing authorities

hat's also some of the reasons, licensing of the certain casino. And in getting the license, there are some provisions that must be met and that's what makes some casinos possibly illegal in certain countries. or with other provisions. sometimes between one casino and another will indeed be different.

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.

Casino sites follow their rules and regulations because they are licensed to operate online casinos. When an international company does business, they have to comply with different restrictions in each country. It is possible that your country's online regulations have restricted certain games, so licensed casino sites have blocked certain games in your country. But if the casino site you are using is vpn friendly then you can enjoy playing the restricted games there using vpn. There should be no problem in this case.

This seems unlikely to me. If we’re talking about local casinos, that means they have a license, and regulators ensure that all the games they offer are fair. If they were using illegal copies of games, that would already be a violation of the law, and they would likely face legal problems that could lead to their closure. So, I really doubt that’s the case.

If those games you are speaking of are you favorites and you can freely play the games in your local casino, then you don't have to bother much while they are not allowed in your country. I have not experienced such restrictions of games in a casino that is not banned in my country but if you are having such experience, then you should know that the casino has their reason while they didn't allow the games which could also have something related to the game providers.

His main concern is the RTP. Most reputable casinos offer an RTP of around 96.5%, but in local casinos, it might be lower, maybe around 95%. That 1.5% difference may seem small, but it’s actually a big disadvantage, especially if you’re playing regularly. In short, your chances of winning are lower. So if you can find a casino where the RTP is based on standard rates, that’s where you should play.

Well, that's right, for gamblers that are staking more regularly, the 1.5% could matter a lot to them because they know the difference it would have made in their game but looking at it in another way, the difference is not even too much, it's not something that one can not afford to let go, for me, I don't pay so much attention to it.

It is true that there are many games that I want to play with crypto but unfortunately they are not available in my area. But the reason I want to play is because when in a local casino this game is quite profitable and can give me some wins so I also want to try if this game also gives the same luck. Moreover, now I no longer gamble with fiat so I hope the game service provider provides relief for access to the game.

From my experience, I found that many crypto casinos allow only a few slots in certain regions, while others don’t impose such restrictions. So, I have never fully understood this since these casinos operate under the same licenses but don’t seem to follow the same rules. I remember one casino that constantly changed slot availability every moment from restricting and allowing access to slots on daily basis, it was extremely frustrating to play a slot today, wager much money on it, then you are not allowed to play in it the next day. I believe that the best solution for this is to find a casino that allows VPNs, allowing full access to all slots from different providers regardless of your location. 

As for RTP, I have researched to collect information about this topic multiple times and even shared a discussion about it in the community here. My conclusion is that RTP differences have only a small impact on your outcome. A slight variation won’t significantly change your results, while the most important thing comes down to your luck and chance on each spin.

Local casinos means the casinos are licensed in your country and also abide to regulatory rules. All products and services provided by anything local are for the people in such country to use legally. There is no problem to gamble on local casinos and no restrictions. But provided if the casino is licensed.

Just as simple as that. Local casinos could be one of those physical bet shops which are regulated by the laws of the government on license issuing.
So anyone in the local region can have access to it which after passing through the KYCs.

The Crypto casinos has limited places where players in that region won't be able to access the site due to crypto policies that the government of the particular region may not be in support or cryptocurrencies.
So before the respective region would have access to the crypto casino site, there must be a regulatory compliance of the Casino and the government where license will as well be issued to the crypto casino.

Ignorant of the crypto casinos following the regulatory demands but still in existence, then they (crypto Casino) would be assumed to be operating illegally.
So for reputation sake, they are better denying access to enthusiasts residing in the non compliance regions..

[jcojci]

Yes, I have the same thing as you @OP. But I won't bother to think because I can use other casinos that have the same slot games. I think that is because every casino will have different regulations and host in different countries. So they must obey the rules from the regulator.

And for RTP, maybe the local casino has a lower RTP but I don't check personally. Winning in slot games will depend on your luck so whether the RTP is high or low, you still need luck to win.

Yeah, it depends on luck, but since I play slots regularly, it’s really hard to hit those big multipliers if the RTP is lower. I guess I don’t have much choice because local casinos are the only option for me, as the games I like aren’t available in my region. If it were just sports betting, it wouldn’t be a problem  as the odds in our local bookies are actually very competitive, and in fact, sometimes even higher than what other crypto casinos or bookies offer.

[moneystery]

i also experienced such a problem where some games just can't be played because they are not available in my area. i think it's just a regulation issue, because in some casinos they obey the regulations in the area, so they just don't provide games there. while in local casinos, it is already regulated or illegal at all, so they can provide games and users will not experience obstacles to playing there.

I think this has everything to do with licensing and regulation in the region, that is, the game provider may not have the needed license to allow participants or players from your region play that particular slot game..

It's Just like the same way users from US are not allowed to trade on certain exchanges except the exchange have secured a proper licensing and regulation from the US authorities.

And some also have something to do with KYC, that is when you are not kyced on the casino, you will be limited to some certain games, I've encountered one like this where I was only allowed to play some few slot games, but as soon as I passed my kyc verification, alot more was opened for me to play.

I really don't know very much about RTP and how they are assigned for certain games, but then, Ive always had this believe that it has everything to do with the Casino, so the casino does decide what RTP to attach to a game, this is why it's possible to see a game wit a certain RTP on a particular online crypto casino, then go another online crypto casino and see the same game having a different RTP.

Just my personal thought and believe though.

I think it’s not just the casinos but also the game providers themselves, since they’re the biggest players and most likely heavily regulated. They probably have a list of countries where certain games are not allowed, unless those games are offered through local casinos that hold proper licenses. Most crypto casinos, on the other hand, don’t have licenses in many of the countries where gamblers are accessing their sites.

As far as I know the name of the slot and the same type of slot game, almost the average online casino has the intended slot, but the payment is different, if certain slots are not available in your area, meaning slots Or the casino is not allowed in your area, you must use the supported VPN, as far as I know.

Even though you see the same slot in your local casino, but the payment is not the same, the name is the same, the system is different, what you see is that your country does not allow the casino, except for the last solution VPN.

[xLays]

If I’m not mistaken, this is about the license. On Stake.com, I can play all the slots compared to other casinos where you still need to use a VPN to access certain slots that aren’t available.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that it’s really rare to win on local online casinos. I even read somewhere that they can edit the RTP depending on the casino, I think I read that on Bitcointalk. Maybe you can search for it using ninjastic.space.

On other casinos like Stake.com, you can see the RTP, but on our local online casinos, you can’t. Like bet88.ph, Bingoplus, and many others. Why is that, I wonder?

[Solosanz]

Maybe (I don't own games provider or working on there), the games providers only accept casinos who're really have regulation, hence they allow your local casinos. Because if they allow in crypto casinos or not regulated casinos, they might be in trouble, although this depends on their terms.

Like or not, gambling providers have to being responsible if they have malpractice or their games have bugs, foreign people might able to exploit it.

We do know that platforms do identically includes or have those common lists of game providers on which that could be found on the platform and since these providers do have also having that licenses then they would really be that getting in line when it comes to regulation on which this will really be that not shocking that once you do able to hover yourself into those slot game list then you would be able to see those providers that being grayed out on which simply means that its unavailable or simply that literally showing off text that you cant be able to play up such slot games because of that very obvious reason. Back in the past on which i have tested out on making use of some VPN to access and play out these slot games but later on i have realized that due to tons of platforms available then i do just simply register into it.

Im not really that a type of person who does really make use of VPN on which you are really that trying out to bypass their terms and conditions. It might that something you will really be that thinking up that much but once you do make out some big wins then it will really be that a pain in the ass. lol

Beside regulations, there are some online casinos that have decided not to expand their operations to some regions.

Reasons being that they don't understand the market in that region and are doing their research first. Others are that, they don't have that capacity to serve that region.

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.

[khaled0111]

When it comes to why some slot games on global online casinos are restricted in certain countries, but still available on local casinos in those countries, I believe xLay's explanation is the most logical one. This may be due to the type of license those casinos hold.
However, this could also be due to the local casino offering pirated copies, so it's best to proceed with caution.

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.
