unibet poker says vpn login broke terms but i only used hotel wifi

Weird situation here. Got an email out of nowhere saying my poker account got flagged for VPN use and that’s a no-go under their terms. Problem is I wasn’t even using a VPN, just bouncing around on hotel WiFi during a road trip last week. Now support is acting all “policy is policy” but can’t actually tell me what triggered the ban. I was just hoping to fit in a few late night spins after lugging logs around all day, not get labeled a cyber villain.

Anyone else have this happen? Does logging in from different cities on sketchy hotel connections look like VPN activity to their system, or am I missing something obvious here? Not sure how to actually prove I wasn’t trying anything shady.

I've traveled quite a bit and always worry about logging into gambling accounts from hotels for exactly this reason. Public networks can create some strange flags.

Hotel WiFi + city hops screams VPN to their bot, lmao. Same dumb energy crypto casinos get with region flags after you deposit.

The dumb part is they lump everything under “vpn” when poker and live dealer checks are usually different vendors. Terms get written sloppy, then support hides in it.

Hotel wifi absolutely trips this stuff, happened to me in Tulsa and they acted like I tunneled in from Mars

Had it once on poker from hotel wifi. I guessed wrong and argued terms first.
