Hello folks, I recently saw something about banned countries and geo-restrictions on online gaming platforms, especially lottery sites. I’m curious how serious this is. Is it just a formality, or can it impact your ability to collect winnings? I’d love to hear from someone who has dealt with this or has solid information. I’m considering playing on a couple of sites but want to be sure I’m not doing something that could get me in trouble.

It’s more serious than most people think. A lot of players assume they can play from anywhere with a VPN or just by registering, but geo-restrictions are enforced due to strict regulations. Countries like North Korea, Iran, and some parts of the US, among others, are often restricted. If you try to play from one of these places, even unknowingly, you risk losing access to your funds or getting your account banned. There’s a helpful breakdown of this topic over at https://nagalandstatelottery.in/banned-countries-and-geo-restrictions-what-players-should-know/. It covers which countries are banned, how these restrictions work, and why players need to be aware of them before signing up or depositing.

I think this kind of info is often overlooked, especially by newer players. It’s definitely better to be cautious and informed than to deal with problems later. Following the right guidance is key.
