Where Shuffle is open, where it's blocked, and what VPNs don't fix.

Países bloqueados: a lista completa do TOS v1.91

Italy and France are added to the blocked list in the task brief; they follow from Shuffle's broader policy of blocking regulated EU markets where a local licence would be required. Third-party análise sources also flag Cyprus and BVI na prática.

• Portugal
• France
• Italy
• Sweden
• Singapore
• Cayman Islands
• Curaçao (the operador's own jurisdição, not served directly)
• Cyprus
• British Virgin Islands
• Any embargoed territory on US, EU, or UK sanctions lists

Open markets: where Shuffle actively serves players

Canadá deserves a note: most provinces accept Shuffle without issue, but Ontario established a regulated iGaming market in April 2022 and offshore operadors are technically unlicensed there. Shuffle's TOS does not explicitly name Ontario as a blocked jurisdição, but CryptoSlate's análise flags it as a grey area. If you're in Ontario, check current local guidance.

Why these specific countries are blocked

The countries on the block list are there for one of two reasons: they have active gambling regulations that require a local licence (UK via UKGC, Germany via GGL, Netherlands via KSA, Sweden via Spelinspektionen, and others), or they impose broad restrictions on offshore gambling entirely (Australia, Singapore).

Curaçao's licence covers global operations outside these jurisdiçãos. The licence does not extend to serving players in countries where the operador would need a separate national licence to operate legally. Accepting players from those countries would expose Natural Nine B.V. to enforcement risk.

Portugal and Spain are on the blocked list for the same reguladory reason: both have regulated online gambling markets requiring domestic licences that Shuffle does not hold.

Why VPNs don't work

Shuffle's cadastro page does not always block VPN IPs at cadastro. Some players in restricted countries have been able to create accounts and deposit via a VPN. The issue arrives at withdrawal.

Shuffle's processo KYC, triggered at $5,000 in withdrawals, asks for documento de identidade emitido pelo governo and typically includes address verification. An ID from a blocked country at that point locks the account. The terms explicitly state that VPN use to circumvent geo-blocks is a breach, and Shuffle can void o bônus, seize the balance, or close the account in response.

Multiple documented player reclamaçãos follow exactly this pattern: US or australiano player uses VPN, plays for semanas, hits the withdrawal KYC trigger, account frozen. It's not an edge case; it's a documented pattern.

Shuffle.us: the US option

For jogadores dos EUA, Shuffle launched Shuffle.us in September 2025. This is a separate product, operated by a different entity (Munyon Canyon Ltd), running on a sweepstakes model: no real-money gambling, two currencies (Gold Coins for fun play, Shuffle Cash redeemable for cripto prizes), and no purchase required.

Shuffle.us is available in most US states but is excluded from: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia.

Código MAXBET also works at Shuffle.us, unlocking a no-deposit bônus de boas-vindem 25,000 Gold Coins plus 1 Shuffle Cash.
