For players from Russia, as well as some other countries where online gambling is prohibited, access to gambling sites can be a problem. “I can’t enter the casino” is a fairly common complaint from novice players. And experienced users already know what it is and how to deal with it.
The fact is that Roskomnadzor blocks casino sites, so you won’t get to them just like that. As soon as the domain enters the registry of prohibited resources, players will no longer be able to enter the casino directly. However, there are ways to solve the problem.
In Russia, there is a ban on organizing gambling outside special zones, including online games. That is why websites are being blocked. However, there is no ban on playing. Therefore, players do not violate any laws when they use workarounds when they cannot get to gambling sites.
One way is to use a VPN. You can simply install the browser extension and turn it on when you want to enter the casino. In addition to extensions for browsers, there are also separate programs for the computer. This is a good decision. The only problem is that some operators prohibit its use.
For details and with all the names of extensions, programs and browsers, read the article “How to bypass casino site blocking”.
A VPN changes the user's IP, and some unscrupulous players can use this to create multi-accounts. They sign up multiple times to receive lucrative one-time bonuses multiple times. Therefore, establishments may be skeptical about VPNs. So, always check this point with the support service before using it. Often in such cases, you can get a response like "there is no ban, but the use is not recommended." This is already disturbing. It immediately suggests that there may be problems.
In order to enter the casino without any problems without taking any additional measures, it is best to choose operators focused on the Russian market. There are many such establishments, and among other things, they offer mirrors. When the RKN blocks one domain, the casino creates a mirror, that is, an exact copy of the site, but at a different address. Usually, switching to an available mirror occurs automatically. So the solution is very simple and effective.
Many Russian online casinos keep in touch with their players through social networks and popular instant messengers. And there they publish the addresses of new mirrors. So, you will always be aware if you subscribe to the operator's channel.
In such cases, you can use a special browser called Tor. It will allow you to open the resource as it works in a special way. When using this browser, it hides where the original request came from. However, it is not recommended to enter any casinos through this browser. Just like a VPN, some casinos discourage its use. Therefore, always first clarify whether a particular casino has a ban or not.
