Hiya: Here is a real example. I downloaded Betvoyager, "to play multiball roulette" here in Las Vegas. I opened a real $ account. On their web site they say the same thing everyone else says, "the PLAYER is responsible to follow the laws of their own country". This is a way to let players in the USA play, but at the same time not condone them playing.
So, i have my Betvoyager account. I log in, and can play the Flash Demo mode. But can not play the, "play for free" mode. I can go to Banking, but there are no options available there for American players.
So, I have my brother inlaw, in the philippines, download it. I send him money. He logs in, and deposits the money. Via use of Skype, i can tell him what to bet. hehehe. I went to PI in December. I was able to Log in to both My American Account, and his PI account. I played there, on his account.
I return to America in Jan. I Log in to His account, "But I am Unable to play it from America"......

All you get is a, "Blank" page. I assume this is to stop someone from doing what i tried to do. Otherwise, we could all go to Mexico, open accounts at Casino's that bann American players, Return to the US, and be set......Weeeeee
Also, this is a case where Online Casino's treat Perception as Reality. There are a Lot of Casino's that either Bann any bonuses from being taken, or just outright ban the entire country, based on perceived Bonus Abuse. This would be a sort of Segregation.
Online Casinos are not the only ones to do this. A couple years ago, the game, Ultima Online, had a special promotion, "for players on the Japan servers". When the other players, on the American, & European servers found out about it, they cried FOUL at the top of their lungs......
Doing things like this is easy, as it is not publisied. No one knows, "as example" that BOA charges a $8 monthly fee for checking accounts in the USA, but does not charge this fee at Its branches in Asia.
or, better yet, When is the last time you ordered BEER, as your drink, at KFC, or Mcdonalds in America? Go to Korea, or the Philippines, and it is all the beer you can drink..........
