Banned if I bypass Casino Region Lock with VPN?

Hi, the casino is locked in my country (wheel, slot machines etc). If I use a VPN, do you know if Rockstar will ban me for bypassing the locks?

Nope, people been using it for years

Gambling is illegal in most countries so they can’t use the casino

since release. some countries have laws banning all gambling, including in video games, so Rockstar disabled it in those areas

Yeah, it’s pretty stupid since you can never win any real money. It would be like banning a black jack game for the PC.

ah that I know, I just thought that the only copies of GTA that were altered was the JP copy (hence the inability to play with them)
VPN should work then

You can waste real money tho. That’s why you’re only allowed to buy 50k chips at a time.

Hi, yes VPN works but I wonder if someone knows if it’s safe. Casino has been out since 2019 I think. So I am sure someone knows if it’s safe. I can only find old threads from 2019 about VPN, I cannot find news from anyone who has tried it, like “4 years later, still doing it, I am not banned”. Before I try it I want to hear from someone who knows if it’s ok to do this. :smiley:

It is. A good majority of PC players use VPNs. you should be using them regardless. Unsafe to play the game on PC without one (unless you just plan on private lobbies). Any activity will be safe since your account isn’t tied to where it was made

You’re fine. The casino is a legit part of the game and rockstar won’t ban someone because of their location.

Thank you! :slight_smile: That is a relief.

Thank you, that makes sense… Rockstar obeys the country laws by blocking it by default, but they have no reason to care if a player gets in anyway. :smiley:
