Territory clauses, read closely
Casino restricted countries: where each list sits and how to read it
Each operator picks the territories it refuses and records that choice in its own terms. This page shows where those lists stand, how to read them and what they say about Brazil.
Each house in the ranking chooses the territories it will not serve, and it records that choice in a document it writes and edits itself. A list of casino restricted countries is therefore a contract clause, not a map drawn by an outside body. This page explains where those lists are printed, how to read them without missing half the entry, and what the table just below this introduction records.
That table has one column that matters here: whether Brazil appears on the operator's own list. No other page here takes up that question, and each cell carries the clause and the date it was read.
Where casino restricted countries are written
The lists turn up in a handful of predictable places:
- A numbered clause in the general terms. Wild Fortune uses clause 2.4, Thunderpick clause 3.2 and Shuffle.com clause 8.3.
- Two clauses in the same document. Rocketpot prints one list in clause 3.1 and another in clause 2.1.11, and they differ: the second adds Australia, France, Curaçao and several islands of the Dutch Caribbean.
- A dedicated section. Wolfbet's terms carry a section headed “Prohibited jurisdictions”, separate from the account rules.
To find the right passage, search the terms for words such as “restricted”, “prohibited”, “excluded”, “jurisdictions” and “territories”. Then read the whole clause, not only the country names, because the consequences usually follow in the next sentence.
Named places and open categories
Entries come in two kinds, and they behave differently over time.
Named places are fixed until the operator edits the text. Shuffle.com clause 8.3 names fourteen jurisdictions, from Australia to the United States of America, in the version read on 8 September 2026. Wild Fortune goes further and lists Canadian provinces such as Ontario and New Brunswick one by one, next to US territories like American Samoa and Guam.
Open categories point to something outside the casino's own page. Thunderpick clause 3.2 names Curaçao, the Netherlands with its Caribbean parts and the USA, then adds “UN sanctioned countries” and “FATF blacklisted countries”. Which states those words cover depends on the lists kept by those bodies on a given day, so the clause can widen without a single word of the terms changing. Shuffle.com closes its list with a similar catch-all.
A short reading routine helps:
- Collect every clause that names territories, including repeated or overlapping lists.
- Note the date on which you read them; lists are edited without notice.
- Separate the places named outright from the categories.
- Read the consequence sentence that follows the list.
- Look for a duty to report a move or a trip.
- Keep a dated copy of the version you read, so a later edit to the list can be spotted.
What the table says about casino restricted countries
The table right after the introduction reduces the casino restricted countries question to one line per house: is Brazil named or not.
- Wild Fortune names Brazil in clause 2.4, read on 2 September 2026. The same clause says players from listed territories are not entitled to refunds or withdrawals.
- Full lists without Brazil on them come from seven houses: Thunderpick, Wolfbet, Wild.io, Shuffle.com, Rainbet, Metaspins and Rocketpot.
- Bitcasino.io, Bitsler, Jack.com and TrustDice show a dash. A dash marks an empty file for that cell rather than a sign that Brazil is missing from their documents.
The absence of a country from a list is a fact about a text on a certain date. It is not an invitation, and it does not make the other clauses of the contract any softer. Houses without a column entry are still ranked on the main board, where the five criteria decide the order and this column plays no part.

The rest of the contract still applies
Whatever the list says, the account rules and the identity clauses remain in force. Several houses ask for proof of address during a check, so the residence given at sign-up is compared with documents. Rainbet (cl. 20.1) and Wolfbet (cl. 5 §1) both say the papers they request serve to establish the identity and the location of the user. How and when those requests arrive is set out on the identity documents page.
Thunderpick's clause 3.2 is the most detailed on consequences. An account linked to a listed territory may have its access withdrawn, with the balance possibly declared void. The player is also expected to tell the operator before moving to or visiting such a territory; the account is then put on hold or closed, with any available balance returned.
When a question about an account comes up, it goes to the company named in the terms, not to the brand. Matching the brand to its holder shows where that name is printed, and the licence number guide explains how to look that company up.
Brazil's own rules for betting operators are a separate subject, covered on the page about Law 14,790.
Questions
Where do I find the list of places a casino will not serve?
Usually in a numbered clause of the general terms: Wild Fortune 2.4, Thunderpick 3.2, Shuffle.com 8.3. Some houses repeat the list, as Rocketpot does in clauses 3.1 and 2.1.11, and the versions can differ. Search the terms for "restricted", "prohibited" or "jurisdictions", then read the whole clause, including the consequence sentence that normally follows the names.Brazil is not on a house's list. What does that tell me?
Only that the list, as read on a given date, does not name Brazil. Seven ranked houses publish full lists in that state. The rest of the contract still applies: identity checks, proof of address and account rules. Lists are edited by the operator, and open categories such as sanctions lists can change without the terms being rewritten.What does a dash in the country column mean?
A dash means nothing is on file for that cell. Bitcasino.io, Bitsler, Jack.com and TrustDice carry one. It is not a statement that Brazil is absent from their documents, and it is not a zero; a newer dated reading of the operator's own page would replace the dash with the clause and its date.Why does this column not count towards the ranking score?
The five marks measure how clearly each house documents its identity check and whether its licence matches its domain in the register. A country list is a different kind of fact: it describes whom the operator serves, not how well its papers explain themselves. Keeping it out of the score also keeps it on this one page, with its clauses and dates.
