Ten alternatives publish a territory list, from one name to 74

Ten clauses, laid side by side

Ten of the comparison operators on this site publish a list of the territories they refuse. The shortest names one place, the longest names 74, and between the ten of them 129 different places get named. Not one of the 129 appears in all ten lists.

Ten of the eleven comparison operators on this site publish a list of the territories they will not serve. The counts run from one place to 74, and the gap between those two numbers is the single most misread figure in this whole subject.

Between an archived copy dated 24 April 2025 and one dated 9 August 2026, Gamdom's restricted-territory clause grew from 24 named places to 37 — thirteen added, none removed — and the law governing the contract moved from Curaçao to Costa Rica. Clause 4.1 of the current edition requires every deposit to be wagered at least once before any withdrawal, promotion or no promotion. The licence cells for Gamdom are empty because no permit number is published anywhere we could read: that is an absence of evidence, and it is printed as one rather than filled from a comparison site. An empty cell means the document was not read.

The ten counts, in order

Each figure below is the number of places named in that operator's own territorial clause. It is a count of print, not a count of practice.

Vave, the paid row, publishes nothing of the kind that has been read here, so it carries no figure and appears in none of the arithmetic below. That is an admission about our reading rather than a property of its cashier.

A drawing, not a screen capture. Every sentence quoted on this page belongs to one of two days: 24 April 2025, when the archive took a copy of 8,919 strings, and 9 August 2026, when it took one of 16,077. Nothing here describes what the contract says now, because the live pages did not open to this machine. A date beside a quotation is the difference between reading a document and reading a summary of one, and it is the only thing on this page that a reader cannot check for themselves without the two files.

What the ten lists agree on

Put the ten clauses in one column and 129 distinct places come out of them.

Not one of those 129 is named by all ten operators. Two get to nine: North Korea and the United States, and the single list missing both is the one-name clause at Bitcasino.io. Below those two the agreement falls away fast — Cuba, Curaçao, Iraq and Iran reach eight, Lithuania and Syria seven, and a band of nine more places including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Israel and Ukraine reaches six.

Then the tail. Forty-six of the 129 places are named by exactly one operator in the ten.

That distribution is the finding. If these clauses were transcriptions of the same sanctions regime they would overlap almost completely, and they do not. Twenty-four of the 46 single-mention places come from CryptoLeo alone, among them Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco, the Philippines, Türkiye and Uzbekistan. Wild.io alone accounts for Hong Kong, Indonesia, Kenya, Mauritius and Vietnam. A territorial clause is a commercial decision written by one company about its own market map, and the ten maps here were drawn separately.

Why the shortest list is the hardest cell to read

The obvious reading of a one against a 74 is that Bitcasino.io excludes almost nobody and CryptoLeo excludes almost everybody. Only half of that survives contact with the document.

The Bitcasino.io clause names Japan and stops. What follows it is a pointer: the restricted jurisdictions are described as a list held elsewhere and linked, and the linked schedule was not supplied in the text that was read. So the figure in the table is the number of places printed at the address that was opened. Every other name that clause may reach sits behind a reference this reading never resolved, and the cell says one because one is what was countable.

A long list and a short list are therefore not two points on one scale. They are two different acts of publishing, and only the long one can be checked line by line.

A drawing, made for this page. The two sheets stand for the two rosters this page compares: 24 named places in the copy captured on 24 April 2025, and 37 in the copy captured on 9 August 2026. Thirteen names were added, and no name was dropped. The picture cannot show the part of clause 3.4 that matters most, because it has no names in it at all — the opening sentence bars anyone residing in or temporarily located in a jurisdiction where online gambling is restricted, and leaves the reader to apply it.

The same warning applies in reverse. CryptoLeo's 74 is a long, specific, checkable clause, and the length of it is evidence of disclosure rather than evidence of hostility. An operator that writes down 74 places has handed a reader 74 answers. An operator that writes down one and links the rest has handed over one.

Where Gamdom itself sits in that spread

Thirty-seven places, clause 3.4. That puts the brand this site is named after between Playbet.io and Bets.io, in the middle of a spread it did not set.

The interesting part of that clause is not its length but its motion. The passage captured on 9 August 2026 names 37; the equivalent passage in the copy captured on 24 April 2025 named 24. Thirteen names were added across those fifteen months and none was removed, which is a rate of change worth carrying into any comparison: the number in a cell describes a document on the day it was read, and this particular document grew by half in a little over a year.

Every one of the 37, plus the thirteen that arrived between the two copies and the one condition in the clause that carries no list at all, is set out on the clause quoted in full.

What a count in this column cannot settle

Three things, and each one gets confused with the count regularly.

It settles nothing about law. A company deciding not to trade somewhere and a legislature deciding what is permitted there are separate acts by separate parties, and this site reports only the first. Nothing on this page should be read as a statement about what any reader is permitted to do.

It settles nothing about the cashier. Payment providers carry territory rules of their own, applied at the moment money moves rather than at the moment an account opens, and those rules appear in no clause read for this table.

And it settles nothing about tomorrow. Gamdom's own clause grew by thirteen names in fifteen months without any announcement a reader would have seen. The other ten clauses are amendable on the same terms.

The rest of the comparison

A territorial count is one of five fields this site fills from documents. What each operator undertakes to pay out, and in what period, is the field with the widest spread of all, and it is set out row by row at ten rows and ten payout figures. Which of them attaches an amount to the moment documents are demanded, and which of them describes the power and withholds the trigger, is at documents listed, threshold withheld. Three of the ten lists above belong to operators compared against Gamdom clause by clause: Wild.io at 45, Instant Casino at 48, and CoinCasino at 36.

What stayed unread

Six of the ten clauses above were served live and four came from archived copies of the operator's own address. Vave's territorial position is unread entirely and stays blank. The Bitcasino.io schedule sits behind a pointer that was not followed.

Questions people actually type

Which of the Gamdom alternatives excludes the most countries?
CryptoLeo, with 74 places in its territorial clause. Instant Casino follows at 48, Wild Fortune at 47 and Wild.io at 45. The shortest published list in the set belongs to Bitcasino.io and names one place, Japan. A count of one is not the same as a short policy: that clause points at a separate schedule of restricted jurisdictions which the operator links rather than prints, so what was countable was one name and the rest stayed outside the reading.
Do the ten lists agree with each other?
Barely. Between them the ten clauses name 129 distinct places, and none of the 129 appears in all ten. Two places appear in nine of the ten, North Korea and the United States, and the only list missing both is the one-name clause at Bitcasino.io. At the other end, 46 of the 129 places are named by exactly one operator out of the ten.
Does an operator leaving my country out of its clause mean it will accept me?
No, and this site never writes it that way. A territorial clause records what one company chose to print. Payment providers apply territory rules of their own, the clause can be amended without notice, and an operator can decline an account for reasons that have nothing to do with the list. What a name in the clause does settle is the opposite direction: the company has written down that it does not serve that place.
How many places does Gamdom name?
Thirty-seven, in clause 3.4 of the terms and conditions, in the copy captured on 9 August 2026. The equivalent passage in the older copy named 24, so thirteen names were added across the fifteen months between the two captures, with no removals. That clause is quoted in full, name by name, on the Gamdom restricted countries page.
