Stake vpn risk

Been looking at how a lot of folks are using VPNs for crypto casino access, especially where it’s technically not allowed. I get the appeal, especially when the rakeback and bonuses are so much better than in a lot of regulated markets. But here’s the kicker - if you actually hit something big, how confident are you that you’ll get paid out with a VPN flagged on your account?

I can’t shake the feeling that it’s kind of like playing a tournament where house rules change once you’re deep. Some people say if you’re careful with your set-up, your docs, and you don’t draw attention, you’re fine. Others swear it’s just a matter of time before you get locked out and maybe even lose your crypto entirely. Seems like a straight-up risk management question to me - if you treat your bankroll like an investment, how do you factor in the chance you’re stuck unable to cash out? Anyone here actually gone through the verification process after a big win while using a VPN and lived to tell the tale?
