Ok, seriously belgium?

This stupid a*s law in this country that ban anything they consider "online gambling" is seriously starting to piss me off on a new level.

They banned in this game :
1) Lunchboxes.
2) Scout banners.
And now they banned the entirety of all slot machines, poker and roulette related activites after this update. (Which this update is full of). So you can't enjoy 1/4 of the fun of the update.

So when you click on one to try and have fun, guess what? You get a nice "Casino games cannot be played in this region".

I get this is for stopping kids to not get addicted to gambling early on but f*ck right off because 1# They do this on ALL games, even games for adults/mature. 2# There's no age restrictions or parent watch rule so everyone from ANY age gets f*cked. 3# If you think they can't be dumb enough, they put online casino commercials on tv for all to see, even kids. So nice job.

Will a VPN bypass this ? Maybe proton VPN ? It's free (still I think) and you get a few free countries to connect to, Japan, USA and Netherlands. Maybe one will work around this restriction ?

I don't think it would work, and knowing this game it would glitch out like crazy. Also knowing this country they could be capable of giving me a fine or ban me since it's against one of their laws (like we don't pay enough taxes).

Edit : Oh also, all vpns here costs money and subscriptions, and they can be traced (of course, why not right?)

i agree that sucks and all, but be happy a lot of people cant even play the game do to consistent crashes caused by the update rendering the game completely useless

I actually got a good computer, so i don't get technical issue much asides from the typical bugs here and there but this law really wants to cripple my fun in this game and it's starting to be very annoying. Can't have crap in this country lol

Sign up for a free trial of a VPN and see if it works?
I recently started using a VPN for other reasons and seem to have no issues playing the game when I leave it on.

Free trial? And when it's done you will have to pay how much? With also chances to be traced and then fined? You realize this country begs you to do something like this to punish you hard. I'm not supposed to modify my locations because they don't think in their small heads that this is is an adult game not made for children right? Are we supposed to be punished because these dumb sh*ts cannot put an age restriction to your account (steam's or bethesda's) for adults to enjoy the game without childish rules?

proton vpn is completely free with unlimited bandwidth and very trusted

Well done Belgium. Hopefully other countries will follow.

Edit. but the restrictions should be carefully checked before banning some elements inside games.

Edit 2. There was a research/poll in USA asking kids their favourite xmas 2023 present and most votes were: videogames "virtual coins". They didn't want a video game but currency to buy stuff inside games. That is alarming.

bro you are not missing out too much, if i were you i wouldnt be even mad.
trust me you can only gamble in 1 slot machine, i think, the rest is raiding the casino to find cheaters and management computers.

Dude...that's like one thing among many, i can't play that poker table, the roulette, can't get a casino shelter, not use the biggest slot machine, cannot get lunchboxes, scout banners, the bonus x2 luck from using a slot machine, etc...

In an update about casinos and you can't enjoy the casino gambling. It's like you get invited to a party with your friends with many alcoholic drinks but you have a bad liver so you can't drink.

Bro, then put a f*cking age restriction or parent watch on your steam account/bethesda account then. Don't punish adults with laws made to stop children, we are playing a game not made for kids, so why punish us? Are they that dumb?

Edit : Also don't forget that these hypocritical clowns sometime put online casino website advertisement on tv as commercials and kids watch them since they are on most tv channels.

Free? Right... and they'll trace the hell out of me or risk a ban because bethesda knows my account is located in belgium. If i change vpn they'll know. Like i said, don't wanna risk sh*t for that stupid a*s law when it's clear as rain that this isn't a game made for kids. Thank you for trying to help though.

[D'on The Dragon]

Also my apologies to everyone if i sound rude, i'm trying to have patience with it but it's getting to a certain limit where it's getting insane.

Dude, that's crazy. It's all just make believe. I can only imagine how frustrating that is.

However, I bet you can score some killer waffles over there.

Waffles are the only thing good here.

Edit : Oh and chocolate, but i bet they will ban those too because it will be considered gambling with your health.
