How Roobet's country restrictions work
Roobet is licensed in Curaçao and operates under licence #8048/JAZ. That licence lets it serve players globally except in countries that have their own national online-gambling licensing regime (UK, France, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Germany, Australia) or that have specific regulatory restrictions on offshore casinos (US, parts of Scandinavia, parts of Asia).
Restrictions are enforced via IP geofencing at signup and KYC during withdrawal. The full list below is current as of 2026; it shifts as countries pass or repeal national gambling laws, so always check Roobet's current Terms of Service before signing up if you're in a borderline jurisdiction.

Restricted countries
Roobet's Terms exclude residents of these countries. IPs are geofenced; KYC matching to a restricted-country address closes the account.
- United States — geo-blocked. See our US legality guide.
- United Kingdom — UK Gambling Commission licensing requirement.
- France — ANJ national licensing requirement.
- Netherlands — KSA national licensing requirement.
- Australia — Interactive Gambling Act 2001.
- Spain — DGOJ national licensing requirement.
- Italy — ADM national licensing requirement.
- Germany — GlüNeuRStV 2021 state licensing regime.
- Sweden, Denmark — partial restriction; check current ToS.
- Cyprus, Belgium, Hong Kong — restricted.
- Sanctioned jurisdictions (Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, etc.) — universally restricted.
Canada — the easiest market
Canada is the cleanest market for Roobet outside the US. No geofence, no licensing requirement at the federal level for individual players, and Roobet's Canadian sportsbook coverage is strong (NHL, NBA, NFL). Provincial regulators (Ontario's iGO) regulate Ontario-licensed operators specifically but don't criminalise offshore use by individuals elsewhere in Canada. Sign up with code and the welcome bonus activates immediately.
EU — country by country
The EU is fragmented. Countries with national online-gambling regimes (Spain, Italy, France, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Denmark) require operators to hold national licences — Roobet doesn't, so it blocks those IPs. Countries without national regimes or with offshore-permissive rules (Ireland, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Romania, the Baltics, Portugal, Greece) allow Roobet without restriction.
Practical note for EU players: KYC is more thorough than for other regions because of EU AML rules. Have a clean address proof (utility bill, bank statement) ready when withdrawals exceed €2,000 cumulative.
Latin America — strong growth, full access
Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru — all fully permitted with full bonus access. Roobet's sportsbook now covers Brasileirão, Liga MX, and Copa Libertadores extensively, with Spanish-language and Portuguese-language site translations. Code activates the standard 200% match.
Asia and the Middle East
Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, and India are all permitted. India is particularly noteworthy — offshore casinos are legally permitted at the federal level (state laws vary), and Roobet has Hindi-language support. UAE is permitted on the offshore basis. China is restricted under Chinese national law (the issue is Chinese law, not Roobet's ToS).
If you're in a restricted country
VPN access is technically possible but is a Terms violation and risks account closure plus balance forfeit at withdrawal. If you're in the UK, France, Netherlands or Germany you have a local regulated alternative (national-licensed casinos) — that's the recommended path. If you're in the US, see our US-specific guide for the realistic risk picture and how players currently navigate it.
