Where European ISPs block gambling domains
Who keeps the list, how it is enforced, and what your domain resolves to when it lands on one.
Blocking in Europe happens inside the provider’s DNS: the register goes to the ISPs, and their resolvers stop answering with your real address. Nothing changes for you — the domain resolves fine from your laptop, from any datacenter and from every uptime checker. It only disappears for the subscribers you buy traffic for.

Why a normal uptime tool never sees this
An uptime check asks a public resolver from a datacenter, and public resolvers carry no blocklist. The only way to see what a subscriber sees is to ask the provider’s own resolver from inside the provider’s network — which is what ASNWatch does, across 15 countries.
