Using a VPN on Roobet: what its terms say happens
The document holding Roobet's location clause could not be retrieved, so this page records no penalty and no permission: not verified.
What happens if you use a VPN on Roobet?
Roobet's location clause is not verified, because the document holding it could not be retrieved. Its terms name 11 restricted countries in full. That list is open-ended. 12 of 24 operators on the register reserve a claim on the money. This page does not explain how to use a VPN.

This page does not recommend using a VPN and does not explain how to use one. It sets out what Roobet's own contract says happens to a player who does.
The clause, as the terms write it
not verified The document holding Roobet's location clause could not be retrieved, so this page records no penalty and no permission: not verified.
Could not be retrieved. Every attempt returned Roobet's own client-side failure page, 'You've Encountered An Unexpected Error. We've got the wombats looking into the issue!', in place of the terms. Five attempts were made across the /fi/, /en/ and canonical paths, two browser tiers and two exit countries, with render waits up to twelve seconds. The page is a server-side-rendering-disabled single-page application behind a bot challenge and the clause text is never served. No clause is recorded because none was read. No figure on any page counts this operator, because no clause was read.
What the terms say can happen
Each penalty in the register's vocabulary, and whether Roobet's terms reserve it for a player found masking location or playing from a restricted territory.
| Penalty | In the terms | What it means for the player |
|---|---|---|
| balance forfeited | not verified | The operator can keep the money in the account, winnings included. |
| deposit forfeited | not verified | The deposit itself can be kept, not only what was won with it. |
| account closed | not verified | The account can be shut, and what is paid out of it is then the operator's decision. |
| bets voided | not verified | Settled bets can be cancelled, which removes the winnings on them. |
| withdrawal refused | not verified | A cash-out request can be held or turned down. |
| identity documents demanded | not verified | Identity and address documents can be demanded before anything is paid. |
Where the terms say you cannot play
Roobet's terms name 11 countries in full as restricted. Parts of 1 more country are named too. The list is open-ended, so a country missing from it is not a country the terms allow. The list, country by country, is on the Roobet restricted countries page.
What this means in practice
With the clause unread, this register cannot say what would happen to a balance.
Identity documents carry a home address, so a residence in a restricted country can come to light whenever Roobet asks for them. Its KYC terms are classed as required; the clause is on the KYC page.
A complaint about confiscated funds goes to the operator first and then, where a route exists, to the licensing authority. Both read the same contract, and the player accepted the territory clause on sign-up. What a licence issued in Curacao gives a player with a complaint is set out on the Curacao licence page.
Where play needs a local licence
In the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Portugal, Australia and Canada (Ontario), online casino play needs a licence issued in that country, and no operator on this register holds one. For those countries the register publishes the legal position and the helpline, not a ranking. A VPN does not change which law applies to the player. Each country's position is on the map.
