What is a VPN and what can I use it for?
In order to know exactly what we are dealing with, it is necessary first of all to give a definition of this concept.
- VPN A Virtual Private Network is a virtual private network that provides internet users with online privacy and anonymity by creating a private network from a public internet connection.
If you go even deeper and try to explain how it looks in practice, then we will see that everything looks like this: a visit to any portal on the internet leaves behind information with which you can easily obtain data about the user on the basis of the pages he visits, as well as access to his passwords with which he logs in to various social networks. By using a VPN, our connections to portals are masked (encrypted). In other words, a VPN is a tunnel where all this information is stored and protected. Some users compare a VPN to an archive file (such as a zip) that encrypts all the information it receives and puts it in a new package, and only then does the server open those packages and read only the encrypted data. Also, a very important feature of VPN, which is used by most users, is access to a different IP address.
VPN features are really very useful for the user:
- maintain privacy and anonymity on any online site;
- allows you to use content that is not available in the user's country (e.g. due to blockages);
- protecting user data from hackers and fraud;
- you can use internet services without any restrictions;
- hiding information from other users;
- protect user data in public places with a Wi-Fi connection (this can be restaurants, hotels or airports);
- help when traveling abroad. This may be a situation related to blocking access to the local service. So, with the help of VPN you can set the iP of this country, which will allow you to unlock the site abroad;
- availability of files from any user's network (home or the one he uses, for example, at work) from any place;
- protection against spyware, viruses, etc.
In addition, there are many types of VPN systems. First of all, it should be mentioned such as VPN in the package provided by the internet provider, it can also be a browser plug-in, utility software on the phone, a special application that is available for download to smartphones with any operating system (Android, iPhone or Windows Phone), and also can be a special software that can be downloaded to the computer.
Additional VPN features that make it easier for us to surf the internet also include ad blocking with VPN. This is a really good alternative to the usual Adblock. With so many VPN features beneficial to internet users, more and more people are joining the ranks of those who consider downloading a VPN system to be effective. Recent research has shown that a greater part of South African residents prefer to use VPN systems not only abroad, but in South Africa itself in order to surf foreign sites to which there is no access for South African users. For this reason, many different VPNs have been created, which can be used by South African recipients for different purposes. When choosing the right VPN, you need to consider several issues, such as the number of available locations, the availability of South African iP, price, storage of login data, speed, whether there is a refund in case of cancellation of the service, whether the VPN is compatible with the user's device and others. In our list we have included only the best types of VPN that meet all these criteria and serve as a good solution for South African users.
Using a VPN in an online casino
The use of the offers of most popular foreign gambling brands is prohibited in South Africa. For this reason, many South African players use the method discussed today to encrypt their data using a VPN. It is thanks to the use of VPN that they can enter the website of any online casino and remain anonymous, as well as hide their iP address. This option is one of the best solutions for South African players who prefer to bet in foreign online casinos. This is mainly because the gambling situation in South Africa is regulated and controlled by the South African Ministry of Finance, which issues licenses for online casinos, thanks to which they can conduct gambling activities. At the moment, the only legal online casino that is available to players from South Africa is Total Casino, whose activities are carried out on the basis of the Gambling Act from April 1, 2017. This is the only legal act in South Africa concerning gambling as such and it is under this act that the Ministry of Finance maintains a register of prohibited domains used to offer gambling, from time to time entering into this register websites that are incompatible with South African law. From this it follows that a legal casino in South Africa can only be those that have been approved and recognized by the law of South Africa, and all others will sooner or later be disclosed in the register.

Online casino without VPN
As mentioned above, foreign gambling brands very often cannot be available to players from different parts of South Africa, so using a VPN in such casinos is necessary, but there are also such online casinos that do not need a VPN. What is it, exactly? These are such casinos that allow betting for users from a large number of countries, including South Africa. Such casinos offer many advantages for players who do not want to use a VPN, but prefer to play only in a secure online casino, so choosing slot machines in such a casino, the user does not have to worry about the fact that his account may be blocked or, for example, he can not enter the official website of the casino with a South African IP. online casinos without VPN accept players from South Africa and give them the opportunity to claim all bonuses and withdraw all winnings. You can check whether the casino of your choice accepts South African users by using the terms and Conditions of this casino. It is there that you can find information about available countries, payment methods, currencies, etc.
The most famous online casino without a VPN is Total Casino. the operator of this brand is the South African Limited Liability Company Totalizator Sportowy. Currently, it is the only operator in South Africa with a permit to offer legal gambling services. Only players with South African citizenship can register on the website of this casino, as immediately after registration, Total Casino verifies the player using the PESEL number provided by him. However, the range of games at Total Casino does not stand out among other brands and it can even be said that there is relatively little gambling in this casino compared to other online casinos, so using the services of only one such casino can sometimes lead to the fact that the player simply gets tired of testing the same gambling games and sooner or later chooses a new online casino to play with a VPN.
Using a VPN to log in to an online casino site
The number of sites that we call "online vpn casinos" is really huge. Although not all of them offer the best conditions for players in terms of quality and legality. The use of VPN in online casinos is very common, as this option allows players to choose any location according to the requirements of the casino and thus unlock all previously unavailable games or promotions from the casino. A very common phenomenon is the unavailability of games from such providers, which impose strict geographical restrictions on their production. Thus, with the help of VPN, we will be able to play, for example, in the game Starburst from one of the best manufacturers Netent. Without a VPN, games from this provider would not be available in casinos.
We mentioned above that there are many different ways to use a VPN, the best of which is to download the software to your computer or phone and combine the VPN options with your casino game. To do this, you need to go through a few steps:
- we recommend that you choose a software that meets all the important criteria for the player: whether the software gives access to a large number of Country Variants, whether the South African iP is available, whether you can receive a refund if the player has opted out of the services of his chosen VPN, etc. For this very reason, we recommend that you choose the VPN software that we have put on our list;
- the next step is to install the VPN software on the user's device. Usually the installation instructions appear on the official website of the provider of this software and it is in English, but sometimes it also happens with the South African language;
- next, you need to register and choose a tariff plan. All information regarding plans and terms of payment is always provided by the software operator. Of course, we can also use a free VPN with a South African iP, which is automatically built into browsers (e.g. Opera), but here you need to be careful, because such software can in turn collect all the personal data of the user, according to which the safe use of this network is excluded;
- after installing the software, you can already choose a reliable legal online casino and see the list of countries that are accepted by the selected casino. Then you need to select the country in the software itself and enter the code that will be provided by the VPN operator. This code changes as often as it is fixed in the tariff plan that the player has chosen. If the player is in a foreign country and does not have access to the South African iP, then he can also receive it using the downloaded software;
- next, you need to register on the website of the casino that the player has chosen for his game by entering all the data required by the casino and choosing exactly the location that is selected in the VPN software. After registration, the player must also go through the verification of his account, usually the casino sends a link to the user's e-mail or sms to the number provided by him;
- if the user has previously placed bets in this casino and wants to re-enter the website of this casino, then in this case, enter the password and enter the login in the form intended for logging in;
- the last step is to receive welcome bonuses from the casino, deposit deposits and the game itself.
Summary
As we can see, using a VPN brings many benefits to players not only from South Africa, but from other countries. These advantages consist mainly in the multifunctionality of this private network: privacy, absence of any restrictions, security, anonymity, hiding the iP address from hackers, an additional layer of protection, unlocking websites, etc.
Despite this, using a VPN in online casinos is also a bit risky. Very often, users change their location, which is a signal to casino employees that they are using a VPN and do not comply with the rules of the casino, which prohibits such acts. So, very often it ends up blocking accounts or banning players. To avoid such unpleasant consequences, our editors recommend choosing only one location.
We also recommend that you choose your VPN software carefully and avoid what is called "free English vpn". Before using the paid VPN software, we recommend that you first use the free version (demo version) to test and see if all the features you need are in place.
