The list, as the terms write it

The restricted-territory text, verbatim, from the document Vave 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.

Binding document
Players from Belarus, Curacao, Estonia, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, United Kingdom, United States of America, Cyprus, France, Turkey, Netherlands are prohibited from playing real money wagering games. Players from Canada are not allowed to play NYX (NextGen) games.

Clause 3.6. The published clause spells Cyprus with a Cyrillic first letter, so a text search for Cyprus misses it. The clause adds "The Casino cannot guarantee successful processing of withdrawals or refunds if the player breaches this Restricted Countries policy." Clause 2.1 separately bars sports betting from Russia.

Countries named in full (13)

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.

Where play needs a local licence

5 of the countries Vave names (Canada, France, Netherlands, United Kingdom, 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

Vave's terms do not name a location-masking tool as prohibited. The remedies they reserve are: withdrawal refused.
