Winchasers, in this post I want to share my experience with using VPN at online casinos. Hope it helps you to decide whether you should use it now to play at online casinos and understand how to use it.
What is VPN?
VPN means Virtual Private Network. It protects your identity and hides your IP address. So when you connect to VPN the web server you connect to becomes your source of data and the IP address other sites see when you connect.
Online casinos use your IP address to track your location and put restrictions according to your country: disable slot providers, disable bonus buys, disable auto-spins and so on.
With a help of a VPN, you can connect to a casino with a different IP address, the address of your VPN server. In other, you can be for example in the UK but make it look like a casino like you connect from Finland or Canada, or any other country.
Why should you use VPN?
There are multiple reasons why you should use VPN to gamble.
To bypass country restrictions
Many countries block some of the casinos, due to gambling restrictions now and VPN is a perfect way to bypass those blocks and access your favourite casinos without problems.
To unlock all slot providers
You can play any slot providers that an online casino has no matter which country you are from
To remove gambling regulations
With VPN you can change your location and remove all of the terrible restrictions like no auto spins, no bonus buys, and 1 euro per spin. This is very useful if you live now in UK, Germany or Greece, where regulations became ridiculous.
Is it allowed to use VPN at an online casino?
Not many casinos allow you to use VPN! Always make sure that the casino you play allows players to use VPN. The best way to know that is to ask the casino directly in a live stream chat.
One casino where you can use VPN for sure is CryptoLeo – learn how to play at CryptoLeo
Which VPN should I use to gamble?
To gamble, you need a VPN service that meets several criteria
– It should be possible to pick different countries to unlock different providers
– You should be able to use it on your phone, tablet or pc with a quick setup
– It should be cheap and reliable
While you start to search you will find multiple free VPNs, but usually, they are limited to countries you can choose or the amount of data you can send. You can still start with a free VPN and test it and then switch to a paid version for regular use.
I personally suggest you use NORDVPN, it’s cheap and reliable – that’s what I use to access casinos most of the time! The price of it is $11.99 for a month but if you pay for 2 years $78.96 it will cost you only $3.29 per month. There is no free version, but they have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
How to use VPN to access an online casino
You are ready to use VPN. Now decide which device you are going to use it
- For your tablet or phone, you install the NORDVPN app, login into it and select the right country and connect
- For your pc, I suggest you use a special browser NORDVPN plugin which you can install, log in and select the country you need.
For NordVpn please refer to their help centre for detailed information.
Which country you should select when you connect to VPN. When you play with me at CryptoLeo I suggest you select Canada to unlock all of the providers except NetEnt. For NetEnt use Finland.
Now you can finally play with me at CryptoLeo from any country
