Sooo does any of this touch crypto casinos? Most of the ones I use obviously aren't on that list, and I'd guess a few of them have NZ players. Will they geo-block, or just ignore it?

If it turns out yours isn't. I play mostly at Bitstarz and haven't had problems with them since 2023. No idea if they take NZ players though, so check that before..

Bitstarz is Curacao too, and that's where most of my play is. Has anyone seen Bitstarz named anywhere in the leak reporting? Not panicking, I'd just rather know before I leave my usual balance there.

Interesting one. Does anyone know if any of the crypto casinos have the face down version yet? I read that Stake has its own dedicated ICONIC now, so I'd guess they'd be first, but I don't play there myself. Thanks in advance!

Did the Brazilian tables just go or did Brazilian players get moved onto another studio's tables? Those are very different outcomes for whoever was playing there.

Fair. DM it to two people you trust then, same effect.

Then narrow it yourself and ask a smaller question, because the one you asked cannot be answered by anybody here. Post your state, your games, your average stake and whether you will use a VPN. Those four things cut the list to about three names and then we can argue about those three usefully...

Better method than mine and I have been doing mine for years. Resolved complaints over no complaints. Stealing that 🙏

Less than people think and more than the marketing admits. The games are mostly the same, from the same providers. The payment is the obvious difference. The real difference is who is accountable to whom. A fiat casino with a serious licence has a bank in the chain and a regulator who can take...

Since the thread is asking what's left, let me do the thing I always do and say the unglamorous part out loud first. I'm a crypto gambling degen, everyone here knows that. Once I started playing at crypto casinos I couldn't go back to cash ones, because the deposits land, the withdrawals land...

Is there any reporting on the number at all? I've looked at four write-ups of this and none of them give one. Also worth asking what counts as a "winning" during the hold. If you deposit 100 and the balance goes to 150, is the whole 150 held or only the 50?

I'm the crypto degen on this forum and even I'm not going to pretend that's the answer here. Crypto gets you past the deposit side, yes. It does not get you past the withdrawal side on any licensed site, and on an unlicensed one you've swapped a six month verification queue for a counterparty...

That's the bit that actually worries me about this, and I say that as someone who plays on crypto sites every week. There's a difference between choosing an offshore crypto casino after you've learned how they work, and being pushed onto one overnight because your licensed site vanished. The...

Mostly it doesn't, which is the honest answer and the weak point in the whole design. What it can reach is payment rails and advertising. That's how these regimes actually bite - not catching the operator, making it awkward to pay them and illegal to promote them. Go ask Brazilian players how...

Crypto solves the payment problem. It does nothing for the licensing one. The Act reaches any operator that lets a New Zealand resident gamble, wherever it sits and whatever it settles in. A crypto casino serving Kiwis after the transition is an unlicensed operator serving Kiwis, and what...
