The operator's own list of places it will not take, counted

Where they do agree

Four places appear on seven of the nine: Spain, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the United States.

Australia, Curaçao and France appear on six. Cuba, Germany and North Korea on five. Malta, Ukraine, Iran and Syria on four.

Below that the tail is very long. Fifty-three of the 110 places named appear on exactly one list — a majority of the names in the union are the choice of a single operator.

The same shape holds across the whole library, where 38 of the hundred operators have a readable list: the most frequently named are the United States on 32 lists, the United Kingdom on 29, and North Korea and the Netherlands on 27 each. The median list runs to 32 names; the longest runs to 224.

Two lists of one, naming different countries

The most useful pair in our nine is the two shortest.

Bitcasino.io's readable list contains exactly one entry: Japan. Bitsler's contains exactly one entry: American Samoa.

Two operators, both licensed in Curaçao, both publishing a barred-country list, and their lists have no member in common and one member each.

A list of one is not necessarily a short policy. It can be a document that only records a specific exclusion while the general position lives elsewhere — in the licence conditions, in an acceptable-use clause, or in a decision made when an account is opened. The honest reading of a one-entry list is that it is one entry, not that everywhere else is welcome, and the comparison table prints the count rather than a verdict for that reason.

Eleven operators, five columns, and every column filled from the operator's own terms or from the register that issued its permit. None of these columns is about the game: the facts library behind this network has no field for games at all, so nothing here claims which titles a site carries. Two of the eleven print a verification threshold; three print a withdrawal ceiling. An empty cell means the document was not read, or the operator published nothing there. It never means zero, and it never means no limit.

Vave is a paid placement and is marked as one in the table. Its row is filled from the same two sources as every other row — the register entry for its permit and its own terms — and it is not ranked, not scored against the others and not given a cell it cannot fill.

The licence has a list too, and it is a different one

The operator's terms are not the only document with countries in them. The conditions attached to a licence have their own, and the two are written by different parties for different purposes.

The standard conditions of an Anjouan licence name Austria, Germany, France, Spain and the Netherlands as prohibited jurisdictions, on the basis of state monopolies in those countries.

Four operators in our table hold Anjouan permits: DuckDice, Rainbet, Wolf.bet and Flush. The first three name all five of those countries in their own terms as well, so on this point the two documents say the same thing. Flush publishes no list we could read, so nothing can be said about whether they match.

None of this makes an operator dishonest. The lists are about different things: one is the operator's commercial policy, the other is a condition of the permit it trades under. But they are enforced by different parties, and the page about permits and registers is where the second one lives.

What an empty cell is

Two rows in this column say "list not read": Vave and Flush.

That is a statement about our reading, and it is deliberately not the same string as "not published", which would be a statement about the operator's document — one that can only be made by someone who has read the document.

The reason this distinction gets its own paragraph on this page rather than a footnote is that this is the column where collapsing the two states does the most damage. An unread list and a genuinely empty list look identical in a database and mean opposite things to a reader. Everything about how these two states are kept apart, on every column, is on the page about how these pages are put together.

What the list does not tell you

It does not tell you what the law is anywhere. It is a contract term, written by a commercial party about who it will do business with, and a contract term is not legislation.

It does not tell you what happens at the cashier either. A country's absence from the list is not a statement about whether a withdrawal completes, which is governed by the ceiling clause — three published figures across our eleven, set out under withdrawal ceilings — and by the verification clause, where only two of eleven print a figure, covered under when the documents are asked for.

And it says nothing at all about the game. No list of countries anywhere in these documents refers to a board, a payout row or a setting, which is why the pages on the payout row keep entirely clear of this one.
