The list, as the terms write it
The restricted-territory text, verbatim, from the document Thunderpick publishes as binding. The country list beneath it is a text match over this quote, the same match the restricted-countries map uses: a country counts when its name or a common alias appears as a whole word, and a sentence that says a country is not restricted is skipped.
Curacao, the Netherlands and any country forming part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (Aruba, Bonaire, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten), USA, UN-sanctioned countries and FATF-blacklisted countriesthunderpick.io
The terms introduce or close the list with "sanctioned", which makes the named countries examples rather than the whole list. 13 of 24 operators on the register write an open-ended list. A country absent from the table below may still be barred by a clause the register has not matched, and only the operator's current document settles it.
Countries named in full (6)
Each country links to its view on the map, which shows every operator that names it. The count beside it is how many of the 24 operators on the register name the same country. A gold edge marks a country where online casino play needs a local licence that no operator here holds.

2 of the countries Thunderpick names (Netherlands, United States) license online casino play locally, and no operator on this register holds a licence issued there. For those countries the map shows the legal position and the national helpline, not a ranking.
The location clause and what it costs
Thunderpick's terms do not name a location-masking tool as prohibited. The remedies they reserve are: account closed, balance forfeited. The money remedy applies to the balance a player holds, so the cost is the whole account, not the bet.
