Where Is Roobet Available? Restricted Countries and What Happens If You Use a VPN

Where Is Roobet Allowed?

Roobet is a crypto casino and sportsbook run by Raw Entertainment B.V. under a Curaçao gaming licence (OGL/2024/687/0427). Its terms of service name the places it won’t serve: “Residents of the following jurisdictions and territories may not access the Website or register an Account on it.” The list has 25 entries.

Aruba, Australia, Bonaire, Cuba, Curaçao, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Malta, Myanmar, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, North Korea, Saba, Saint Maarten, Saint Martin, South Sudan, Statia (Sint Eustatius), Syria, the United States, the United Kingdom, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

Roobet’s help centre carries the same list (updated 25 August 2026). Even Curaçao, the island that issues Roobet’s licence, is on it.

Not being on the list doesn’t make Roobet legal where you are. When you sign up, you promise that you are “not accessing the Website from a Restricted Territory or a jurisdiction in which it is illegal to do so”, and that you won’t play from a jurisdiction that prohibits gambling (sections 8.11 and 8.12). Checking your local law is your job, not Roobet’s.

Can You Play Roobet in the US?

No. The United States is on Roobet’s restricted list as a whole, and the terms make no exception for any state. Visitors from restricted regions get Roobet’s notice instead of the casino: “Due to our gaming license, we cannot accept players from your jurisdiction.”

Most pages that rank for this question sell a VPN as the answer. A VPN may get you past the notice. It doesn’t get you past the terms. A US resident who signs up through one has broken the residency rule from day one, and that becomes a problem the moment Roobet asks for ID (chapter 6).

The UK, Australia and the Rest of the List

Both the UK and Australia are on the list, and both regulate online gambling themselves. In Great Britain, the Gambling Commission keeps a public register of licensed gambling businesses, so you can check a site before you deposit.

In Australia, the ACMA enforces the Interactive Gambling Act and has illegal offshore gambling sites blocked in batches. It warns that such services are unlikely to have important customer protections and that “Australians who use illegal gambling services risk losing their money“.

For the other places on the list, from the Netherlands to Malta, Roobet’s answer is the same: no account and no access.

Can You Play Roobet in Canada?

Canada isn’t on Roobet’s restricted list, and Roobet supports Interac, the Canadian bank-transfer system, for deposits and withdrawals.

Ontario is the exception that matters. The province runs its own regulated online gambling market, and iGaming Ontario publishes a directory of every regulated site (49 operators when we checked on 3 November 2026). Roobet isn’t in it. iGaming Ontario’s list of risks on unregulated sites starts with “No guarantee that deposits are securely stored” and “Payouts could be delayed or not given at all”.

Can You Play Roobet in Germany?

Not legally. Germany isn’t on Roobet’s list, but here German law decides. Under the 2021 State Treaty on Gambling (GlüStV 2021), the joint gambling authority GGL publishes an official whitelist of the operators that hold a German licence. Neither Roobet nor Raw Entertainment is on it (whitelist updated 2 November 2026).

Taking part in public gambling without official permission is a criminal offence in Germany. § 285 of the Criminal Code (StGB) sets up to six months in prison or a fine. So the promise you make Roobet in section 8.11, that you’re not playing where it’s illegal, is one you can’t keep from Germany.

What Happens If You Use a VPN on Roobet?

A VPN gives you an IP address in another country, and for most websites that’s the end of it. A casino is different. Sooner or later you want your money out, and Roobet decides whom it pays.

Three parts of Roobet’s terms matter here:

• Where you play from: you promise not to access the site from a restricted territory (8.11). That covers travel too. A Canadian on holiday in the US is accessing from a restricted territory.
• ID checks: Roobet can ask “at any time” for documents “to determine Your identity and location” and can hold deposits and withdrawals until you provide them (4.9). Its level 2 verification asks for a passport, driving licence or other government ID.
• What a breach costs: Roobet can close or suspend the account and void bets, for a breach and on “reasonable suspicions” of one (6.1, 6.3 and 8.25).

The current terms don’t mention VPNs by name, and they don’t need to. An ID with a home address in a restricted country settles the question, whatever IP address you used.

Earlier versions were blunter. In October 2021 a player told the complaints forum LCB that Roobet had locked their account for VPN use with more than $7,000 in it. The clause quoted in that thread said that any account “accessing from a restricted area via a VPN or another method to hide his identity will be banned from the website and all services”, with the remaining balance “frozen indefinitely”.

Some guides suggest denying VPN use to Roobet’s support, or having a friend in an allowed country pass the ID check. Our own previous version did. Both put the balance at risk. In another LCB case from November 2021, after a win of about $40,000, Roobet said the player had “admitted to providing inaccurate information on their profile” and that any violation means closing the account with the remaining funds “frozen indefinitely”. The terms also let Roobet close an account that “is being used for the benefit of a third party” (6.1).

If you live where Roobet is allowed and use a VPN for privacy, Roobet’s help centre has one more reason to switch it off for Crash, its real-time game. A VPN or proxy “can impede the quality of your connection”, Roobet says, and it doesn’t refund cash-outs lost to lag on the player’s side.

Can You Use Roobet Without Crypto?

Yes. Roobet calls these cash deposits. Its help centre lists Visa and Mastercard (from $10 to $5,000 per deposit), bank transfers, Interac in Canada, AstroPay, MuchBetter, Jeton and a long list of local wallets and bank methods in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Which ones you see depends on your country. You can also buy crypto inside Roobet through Swapped, from $10.

Before you can withdraw, you have to wager 100% of each deposit, crypto or cash. Roobet calls this part of its anti-money-laundering policy. Cash deposits can’t be used for tips.

Limits and Self-Exclusion on Roobet

Roobet lets you set deposit, wager and loss limits per day, week or month, with up to three active at once. Once a limit is reached, you can’t wager or deposit again until the period resets.

You can also take a time-out or self-exclude in the account settings. Roobet’s responsible gambling page points to BeGambleAware’s questionnaire and to GamCare, and suggests excluding yourself from other gambling sites at the same time.
