Restricted Jurisdictions

This page sits alongside Section 4 of our Terms of Service. Both apply. Country- specific legality summaries are at /legal/country/[iso] where we maintain them.

1. You warrant local legality

By creating an Account, depositing, or wagering you warrant that accessing online gambling and the specific games we offer is lawful for you, having regard to your nationality, ordinary residence, physical location, the law of your jurisdiction, the law of any jurisdiction in which an applicable settlement instrument is regulated, and any sanctions or watch-list. The risk of getting that wrong is yours. See also our Terms of Service.

2. Sanctioned jurisdictions

Access from the following sanctioned countries, territories or regions is prohibited, irrespective of any other consideration:

• Cuba
• Iran
• North Korea (DPRK)
• Syria
• Russia (and the contested Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions)
• Belarus
• Myanmar (Burma)

We additionally screen against the consolidated US OFAC SDN list, the EU consolidated sanctions list, the UK OFSI consolidated list, the UN Security Council Consolidated List, and applicable national lists. Where your identity, payment instrument, or deposit source appears on any of those lists, access is prohibited regardless of geography.

The remaining states may permit social or sweepstakes-style play only; check your state attorney-general's guidance before playing. We may add or remove states from this list at any time as the law evolves.

6. No-VPN-evasion

You must not use any virtual private network, proxy, residential- IP service, Tor exit, or other tool to misrepresent your location in order to circumvent this Section. Doing so is a material breach of these terms; the affected Account is closed when discovered; the balance, including any deposit and any winnings, is forfeitable under Terms Section 14. We may also report VPN-evasion attempts to our payment processor and law enforcement.

7. List maintenance

The lists above are not exhaustive and are illustrative as at the date this page was published. We add or remove jurisdictions as sanctions evolve, as we obtain licenses, as local courts or regulators issue directions to us, and as our risk appetite changes. The most up-to-date list is whatever is enforced by our geo-IP gate at the moment of access.
