Hankering for a game of online poker? The call of the cards can be quite alluring, but unfortunately, some vexing laws may stand in the way of you and the digital table.

Let’s say you’re a regular at a particular casino and you’re now on a business trip. You log on and are slapped in the face with a blocked site. What now?

You let a VPN work its magic, of course.

How does a VPN help?

First of all, a VPN (or virtual private network) provides you with a secure connection to the server of your choosing. Since this is done through something called tunneling, not a soul can tell where you’re browsing from. Better yet—they can’t tell what browsing you’ve done.

Because of this, your benefits are twofold: not only can you get onto any online casino you wish to gamble at, but you also have plausible deniability. How can anyone prove you were on the casino when there’s no record of it happening?

Keep your money safe

Most of the thrill of online poker comes from winning impossible hands, but the winnings are pretty nice too. Whether your balance is just a couple hundred dollars or so many digits you lose count, you want to keep that amount in your hands.

VPNs use multiple protocols to ensure your bank account details don’t get leaked. Remember the tunneling? That also protects your sensitive data through encryption, which is just a geeky term for scrambling the ones and zeros transmitted through your connection.

Plus, many VPNs have a no-log policy, which means that while you’re on their servers, there are no records of your activity, including financial transactions. So you can breathe easy when you log off, knowing that there’s zero chance of your bank details floating around on the internet.

How to use a VPN for gambling

Getting VPN service is very easy to do. All you need to do is navigate to a reputable VPN’s site, such as VPNCity. Register an account, then download the type of VPN software you need. With us, it’s super easy; just choose the operating system you use, and you’ll get a link to the appropriate download.

After you finish your VPN download, just open the program and follow the instructions. Once the setup is done, you can turn your VPN connection on and off with just a click of a button.

Use at your own risk

Because gambling may be illegal in the country you reside in, we have to say that we don’t condone any illegal activities. We’re just telling you how to technically get online and play safely.

Also, be aware that many online casinos frown upon the use of VPNs. If it’s against their TOS, then you risk losing access to your account (and funds!), even if gambling is legal where you’re located.

So be sure to read all the fine print carefully. It’s definitely not worth circumventing the laws if you get found out and all your winnings are taken away!
