After relocating for work, I tried logging into a lottery platform I frequently used but got an error saying my region isn't supported. It's the first time I’m running into something like this and now I'm second-guessing where I can legally play. Anyone else hit a wall like this while abroad? Are there any reliable resources or tips on how to check which countries have lottery restrictions?

Happened to me while visiting a friend in the Gulf region. Even though I was using a legitimate account, the site blocked access. It’s often tied to geo-restrictions and national laws. I eventually stumbled on this helpful article that breaks it all down: https://nagalandstatelottery.in/banned-countries-and-geo-restrictions-what-players-should-know/. It outlines not only the countries where participation is banned but also offers context for those decisions. Worth bookmarking before your next trip.

Really glad someone brought this up. Didn’t realize until now how many limitations actually exist depending on your location. Good to know there’s a guide out there that summarizes it all. Following along—this info could be handy soon.
