Bitcoin Forum

The most popular mistake that newbies make with online casinos is avoiding the rules and regulations, not all online casinos will put up a warning sign on their first page and say 👇

"New users are welcome, please read our rules and regulation before making your first deposits"

You have to look for the website FAQ and go through it first, I have seen some newbies that avoid doing this has they ended up shooting themselves in the foot.

Some even start spreading FUD on the forum about these gambling platforms that did them wrong, not knowing that they are the ones at fault, they are guilty because they don't read the rules and regulations.

The FAQ are frequently asked questions, it is different from ToS or T&C (Terms of Service or Terms and Conditions). The FAQ is short but consists of the questions that users are often asked which may contain many things about the ToS too but not all.

On every site you are registering, be it gambling site or not gambling site, the ToS page would be displayed and you have to scroll down and you have the check ✔️ it that you have read it, but they are always too long which discourage many people to read it. But very important to read.

This is not for newbies only but even long-time players still make the mistake of skipping the TOS and the FAQ thinking that all casinos have the same FAQ, until they found out that it's different from the one where they used to play and when they filed a complaint.
It should be your nature to always check, read and be familiar with every casino's term that you're playing to avoid scenarios that will put your account in trouble.

This I think,the quoted part can be read as an intimidating warning for newbies when they register in a casino,most of the casinos don't have such banner warning and as such if they start posting it,the casinos would lose new customers.It is anyone duty to read term and conditions in any website they open and account and sign up for,including casinos which have a lengthy terms and conditions to read so people do not get disappointed in the future.I agree that it is the user fault in most of the blame they put on casinos here and most of it is a consequence of not reading the terms and conditions.

Even if the casino did so by putting the warning written boldly on their website, yet people will still neglect reading them and go ahead to register and gambles, but when they have challenge on the casino they immediately go ahead reporting unsatisfying services rendered by the casino, some call them to be scam while others open a scam accusation on them, but the experience we had with most of these casinos started from our end when the system is not strictly adhered to.

I'm with you 100% on this one! I'm an avid online gambler myself and have witnessed a slew of novices making this rookie mistake. The problem is most beginners consider the rules and regulations trivial matters, mere formalities. They fail to recognize that these rules are the bedrock of an honest and above-board gambling experience. By ignoring the fine print, they're putting their hard-earned money on the line with no guarantee of success. It's like taking candy from a stranger without any idea of its contents. Let me tell you, I've had some costly lessons in online casinos. I've learned the hard way that ignorance is NOT bliss.

Speaking of costly lessons, let me tell you a little anecdote that drives home your point. My buddy, we'll call him Bob, thought he'd try his hand at online gambling. He assumed he had everything under control, but boy, was he in for a rude awakening! Bob lost a significant amount of money, all because he didn't bother to read the rules and regulations. He felt cheated and conned, but the reality was he had no one to blame but himself. Bob learned the hard way that shortcuts in online gambling lead to disaster. So to all you beginners out there, read the fine print! It might just be the best investment you'll ever make.

Yea, but let's be honest.... who really reads the pages and pages full of terms and conditions, when they signup for any service? I normally browse through them, but nothing stops them from changing it. (I have seen Slot providers adding certain countries to the "ban" list and the terms and conditions are then changed, after you accepted it)  ::)

I think a lot of scam casinos are doing this on purpose to get an excuse not to payout wins to their gamblers. They will literally go through the fine print to find a reason not to payout wins.  ::)

   -   You are right here in what you said, this is often the problem with our cryptocurrency gamblers, who immediately sign-up at a casino because of too much excitement or because they are too lazy to read the TOS or TOC.

That's why most of the people who complain will find out in the end that they didn't know the dos and don'ts, so the result is that their account is blocked or frozen even though they still have a large balance on the casino platform.

old gamblers usually before making a deposit or before registering at one of the crypto casinos, usually immediately look for the FAQ and read all the rules and conditions that must not be violated.

but unfortunately this is more experienced by novice gamblers who are careless always ignoring the rules and regulations of the gambling platform. I am not saying that all gamblers are beginners, but almost on average it happens to beginners who have just entered online gambling.

we can see from some people's beginner accounts that they accuse, attack, and complain about their own mistakes in not reading the casino rules so they are suspended and do bad things to the casino. and with this thread I hope that anyone who wants to register or make a first deposit at an online casino please always read the casino rules instead of regretting it.

Things like that have happened a lot and have been done by novice gamblers who don't want to spend a little time reading the rules and regulations set by the casino.
In the end they made a mistake and got penalized by the casino but strangely enough they came to this forum and made a thread of accusations about the casino while the main players who were at fault were they were not the casino.
Actually they are wrong if they make false accusations on this bitcointalk forum because here all members already have a lot of insight and are always looking to find out what really happened before really giving conclusions or assumptions from every problem that is being complained about.
I hope that those new gamblers who join this forum can become wise gamblers and always find out all the gambling industry information here so that in the future there will be no more cases like this.

Not reading and giving attentions to rules and regulations, or terms and conditions of not just gambling platforms has become a habit with people. Sometimes people do not bother reading because they are too lazy to read, they assume that the terms and conditions will be the same with that of other gambling platforms they have played on, or assume that the terms and conditions are the same from the last time they used the gambling platform. For some other people, they are in a hurry to just start gambling, and even though they plan to read the terms and conditions, they end up forgetting to do so and just keep gambling.

If you have not read the terms and conditions of any casino and gambling platform that you use, today is a good time to try to do so, Reading and understanding Terms and Conditions can make your gambling experience smooth and without issues and complaints.

But even if the casino poping up the warning it would be very rare for a player to click on the warning notifications and read the entire lengthy text of casino rules.
Actually players don't need to read the whole long and boring text, just look for important things like KYC, deposits, withdrawals, and areas that are prohibited from playing at the casino, and if we intend to claim a bonus then read about the bonus rules, for I read and study this carefully enough for us to avoid all unwanted possibilities in the future.

One of the risks of playing in a casino is not knowing its terms of service, I've read one story where one guy from a restricted location not knowing that those who come from that location are not allowed to sign up or even play it's allowed on one casino and not from other casinos.
A good gambler read the terms and checks what he can do legally and what is allowed, it's your money you have to protect your money, and reading the terms and knowing your restriction and what you can do is the best way to protect your money and your account in case you get lucky and win.
There's nothing like being able to withdraw your winning because you read the terms and follow them.

in the end, those who make false accusations get nothing. because the casino representatives on the forum can also provide evidence, and users like that won't get anything.
mistakes like this are common, not only on gambling platforms. people take the rules of a platform too lightly. and on any platform related to our money, I hope that everything is checked carefully before we finally calmly deposit our money for a game.

I've seen a lot of gamblers make this kind of mistake(not just newbies). a lot of these gamblers intentionally ignore the gambling site's terms and conditions because they are too lazy to read them. online gamblers really should make it a habit to read a casino's ToS(or at least parts of it that the gambler think is important), it can save them a lot of trouble and headache if they do.

    There is no perfect gambler, but of course as a player in a casino we must first learn to read the rules and policies of a gambling platform.

In the end we have no one to blame but ourselves because of our lack which causes problems in the end when we play gambling in a crypto gambling. So it's really good to read before we gamble.

Large portion of the blame goes to the player who is so lazy to read terms and conditions of the casino, take for instance a situation where a player failed to notice the wager requirements on deposit and bonuses.

-This cases have course a lot of problems, which have lead to players accusing the casino of abusing their right, not knowing that is their own fault, the casino made all the rules and they're there to enforce them and no matter what your feelings are they don't care.
So is important to read all the terms and conditions.

If you aim to gamble responsibly, you should always take caution in every step you want to take, like reading and understanding the TOS first and reading on the reviews made by gamblers who have experienced playing in the site, that way you will be guided properly before you make your initial deposit. That is also one way to avoid filing complaints on the site and giving them negative feedbacks since you are the one who is at fault by not reading and understanding the terms and conditions of the site.

The problem is not reading the rules before registration, the real problem is that casino sites change those rules all the time without informing the customers.

Stake for example added a lot of stuff to their rules , like new banned regions, reloads are not permanent, alle the KYC stuff and so on.

But the users did not get 1 email about those changes. I am with stake for years and was never informed about changes of the TOS but when I read them now, like Germany is now banned, guess what, I am German, then I can only wonder wtf is going on.

Sometimes due to excitement specially when there're people hyping the site or promoting it, newbies tend to forget that not sometimes but every time you need to value your security first before doing the act of gambling. I have seen several gamblers online/offline doing the same thing as you've said OP and it makes me feel bored listening to them and trying to explain what they had joined. Some just ignore the ToS and would click the "I agree" button on the terms of agreement without even reading the important details.

Whenever I try to register to some sites, I usually ignore the unimportant details or skip it, but when it comes that it involves personal information and bank information, I won't skip the terms without fully understanding it, sometimes I even use google to simplify the terms coz sometimes there're sites that uses complicated words in their terms and conditions.

Way back it almost bit me when I did try to bet on an online E-sports tournament on a betting platform, I was a total newbie at that time and I only wanted to have fun by supporting my favorite team at the same time earn a quick few bucks. It was then I didn't expect that the withdrawal fee is relatively expensive, while I only put a little amount. That time it was my first time betting online on platform using cryptocurrency, and then I was shocked that my initial balance cannot be withdrawn coz there're limits as to how much is the withdrawal, so I have to bet more if I wanted to withdraw, what's more funny is that, I need to reach a certain betting threshold before I could unlock the withdraw button.

This is commonly experienced by majority of the users in different gambling platforms. Even the experienced gamblers while getting into new gambling sites never mind the terms and conditions. They just agree without reading the terms and conditions. When some problem arises, users just request help from the support team and starts reading the terms and conditions. Not only with cryptocurrency gambling platforms, with each and every service being used online, it is mandatory to read terms and conditions to use the service without flaws for long term.

For many online casino players, the welcome bonus on the first deposit may be of paramount importance and some ignore the other aspects of T&C, but we will only learn about any incident if payment is refused or blocked. Also, on many platforms, there is simply no FAQ section, where some questions are usually disclosed in more detail, but we still cannot say with certainty whether one or another T&C player read before starting the game, in many cases the online casino itself also abuses, moreover, the rules may not be static and may change by adding restrictions.

Sometimes as a human with don't even bother ourselves of checking the terms and conditions of a casino since we know that there terms is not going to be too harsh for users and if so many gamblers would not be using the casino. It is right for us to check terms before using a casino but I don't find that as important. I just play bets and make winnings.

it seems that not just beginners, even some of us in this thread don't have time to read the FAQ or the rules and requirements there, register directly at the casino, maybe it's too long and too much to read so it will make people lazy to read it, after all, as long as you play well without do something strange, I think everything will be safe, depending on how the beginners play, sometimes they try to cheat by taking advantage of bonuses at the casino or other cheating. the rules should be put on the registration board as a warning and when you have finished reading it will be redirected to the registration form I think that's a good way.  ;)

The ToS and terms and conditions are very important to go through in whatever registration we are doing online but we seem to neglect and not read them. As for gambling, we know the anxiety that involves in it as we are always wanting the process to go very fast so that we can start gambling immediately like all the money would have been made if we are not fast enough to get in. The worse of it is where money is involved, we always seem to push the right things behind and that is the problem. It is not only newbies that neglect that important aspect of registration.

I'm guilty of this, but I know the risks. That's why I mostly gamble on reputable gambling sites because I'm a bit lazy when it comes to reading the terms and conditions. Once a gambling site is reputable, that means many gamblers love to play with them because they agree with their TOS, so that's the benefit of a lazy gambler like me.

But you are right, newbies should read the terms so they will not complain and destroy the reputation of a gambling site, despite the fact that it was their mistake that cost them money.

In general T&C and ToS are indeed the most important thing to read in advance before creating an account of making our 1st deposit, but in fact most people do not really care about it. Most people start to read it when they are experiencing an issue. Honestly, I do the same thing most of the time as I do not really like to read a huge wall of text but I do not skip it at all because I will always try to find the most important things first such as blocked jurisdiction and about KYC.

Newbie often not read ToS due to the fact that it’s too long to read which even old players failed to read it. Only newbie that is too careful or previous history on gambling has the time to read it but the rest of the normal gambler don’t mind reading it and casino is aware on this that’s why some casino put a very unfair terms so that they can use it against the player in case he/she won a huge amount like jackpot.

Outside newbies old-users are not excluded from this behavioral pattern, there is this tendency of feeling like it's time wasting going through the terms and conditions but it's something of necessity so to avoid any regrets thereafter. And these gambling platforms ain't helpful at all with how much of a lengthy T&C's they put down having understood the laziness to ready among many gamblers.
Clicking on the check box✓ of T&C claiming you have read and understood when you haven't it's like signing a contract document without having idea of what the laid down conditions of the do's and don'ts of the contract is all about and that simply is just an act of foolishness.

This kind of thing is not too much emphasis and another thing I guess it's for the user's responsibility to make research before making a deposit and gameplay to that casino the casino just does it to make their advertisement we know what their focus is the marketing to gain more users and players to their platform but again the player's responsibility take an action with this kind of thing they are the one who play, sometimes the casino now is prompting their faqs and terms and conditions but sometimes players just keep it check and proceed to play.

Does anyone read the terms and conditions of an online casino? :)

Most gamblers are too lazy to read this. They strive to start playing faster and not waste too much time. It is boring and not interesting, which is understandable, leads to unpleasant consequences. Well, here are 2 options to solve this problem. Or overpower yourself and read the rules, as well as abide by them. Or be prepared to be punished by the casino and in no case complain if they themselves were wrong.

And don't forget that any casino wants to earn money, not to enrich its customers.

To be honest, the first few times I used a cryptocurrency casino, I didn't look at the ToS either. It was over time when I saw that people on the forum had encountered problems because they didn't read the ToS that I got used to it.

Anyway, even if they were mandatory reading with giant letters, there would still be people who wouldn't even read it because they were so eager to play, and would just hit 'read' or 'accept' or the corresponding button to start playing.

Make it a habit to read FAQ and TOS on any new site that you plan to try because all the information that you might need to know is there, avoiding this process might put you on bigger risk, and ignorance of the rules doesn't make you exempted from it. There are incidents before where a gambler accused the site for being not honest about their KYC platform, when it fact it is stated on their TOS so at the end, its the fault of the gambler and you can't do anything about it but to follow.

Most of the gamblers avoid this point and at one stage they spread all kinds of mistakes because they don't know. A gambler should take time to check the terms and conditions before choosing a platform. As the terms and conditions are generally more in numbers, at least important terms must be known. Otherwise they will be harmed as well as by theirs mistake others may get confused.

This is not just a mistake made by new users of online casinos; it is a popular mistake made by the majority of both online casinos and other platforms, including crypto exchanges. We are always sometimes in a hurry to register on a platform, which in turn puts us at a higher risk. It's when the user is now experiencing some difficulty that he or she will have to contact support, which will quote the terms that they forgot to read. 

I can remember using a site where I ignored the T&C; it was when I placed a withdrawal and it took almost 24 hours, but my withdrawal was still showing as "pending." That's when I went back to check, and I saw it was clearly stated that withdrawals take about 48 hours. 

If we all take it upon ourselves to read through the T&C or TOS, whichever it may be, there will definitely be a lot of stress and funds saved. 

Not only new users of these casinos, but even some long time players. As they registered without reading the ToS.
Most of the time, users will only go back to the ToS of the site whenever they encounter hiccups with their account.
But if you are depositing significant amount of money, always advisable to read the terms of the site.
It is not the fault of the site if you violated any of their terms, and accusing the site of being a scammer if the player can't get his withdrawals.
This is why when there's scam accusation towards the site, better read the whole story as sometimes it is not the site's mistake but the player himself.

As you say, when you get into gambling, doing reading and actually understanding the terms is imperative. It's not good enough simply reading, as some of the gambling terminology or odds used might be quite obscure to newcomers. Making sure you understand the rules and how things work can save you a lot of money, don't be afraid to contact the helpdesk as they are often quite good. For example, you might be drawn in to signing up for a welcome bonus "get a $100 free" is the headline, but if you read deeper you probably need to follow a bunch of rules and your first bet might need to be appropriately sized to unlock it, otherwise you'll lose all right to it after that point.

This may just be only me but I sure do not read the terms of an online casino when I just sign up, maybe after a while when I'm not participating in any thing and just navigating around to get a feel of what other part of the casino does or what they are for and I come across the terms I might then read it but other times I just ignore and assume they also have the same terms as the rest casino I have been using or have used in the past.
I haven't encounter any difficulty or issue ever since I started, although I'm not saying it's a good practice, but majority of gamblers don't read it.

Yes the importance of reading the terms and conditions is the same as reading the manual of every electronics and mechanical equipment we buy, by reading the terms and conditions of a casino allow the player to deeply understand the norms of the casino and what to do and what to avoid.

-By having that knowledge it will save you a lot of stress and guide players' actions in the casino, but most players believe in their experience from other casinos which made them have some confidence.

This is only when gamblers are faced with difficulties on that platform, is when they will go back and start to read the T&C of the casino. I don't know why it is always like that. Though, some casinos don't keep  to their T&C,or they might change it after registration to avoid paying big wins to gamblers.

It is very important that during sign up,the T&C should not be ignored but should be carefully read,so that you can have a proper understanding of the platform to know if you will continue with your registration or not. Instead of wrong accusations on the casino,which was caused by your ignorant.

But in reality, many people are lazy to do this because most want to be concise and feel understood about the things in it, even though there are definitely differences and rules that are not the same as other online casinos. And this will cause misunderstandings when something happens which is actually the fault of the user who is not painstaking in reading all the rules made so that users do not get misunderstandings in transactions or other things.
actually this problem does not only apply to beginners, because sometimes parents or seniors are lazy to read it, but there is little chance of errors because in the end they will read it when they feel there is a difference or something different.

The laziness in players is what makes for most of the expensive mistakes made on regular basis because having a good understanding of a process is what makes the big difference and being able to manage our activities in the casinos.

-I have a few friends who never care about reading the terms and conditions of a casino and they rely so much on the basic intellectual understanding of casinos, but some casinos have some conditions that are different from the general perspective of a normal casino in form of rules.

Not only the FAQ, but users must also read the TOS to understand how the casino operates. Some questions that should be answered before making the first deposit are:

1.- Does the site allow my County?
2.- Does the site have a good reputation on the forum and trust pilot?
3.- What's the withdrawal limit?
4.- Does the casino has a valid gambling license?

It's important to have clear rules and understand how the casino operates before making a deposit because as OP says, we have seen a lot of times users losing their money just for not having clear rules.

New bies are virtually lazy and do not take out time to go through forum policies before engaged with the forums or platforms. They just immediately start funding their wallets online their dashboard forgetting that rules and regulations governs every entity until they have default, then they start crying foul of casinos and claiming casinos scammed them of their hard earned resources mean while they are the ones at fault as they do not hid to instructions as a result of the terms and conditions they had initially failed to go through. This has been most of the cases and complaints of casinos banning and suspending accounts here when in the real sense they do not read before they engage the casinos. Casinos too would not want to make any Pop up because they too want profit so therefore any account holder that defaults, have his or her self to be blamed for their ignorance and in the eyes of the law, ignorance is not an excuse.

We are so used to all these rules though which they all have the same rules. Same as what happened when exchanges are yet not asking for KYC, we move from one exchange to another but sometimes there could be differences between the rule of one platform to another.  

It's like shooting first before asking questions. Signing up to a casino all because of bonuses and little did they know they can't withdraw lol
That's one costly mistake.

I wonder how OP can describe what "Costly" mean?

To be frank, I don't see anything costly in all of this, ops know clearly the implications of registering on a casino or site without checking what the terms are and to see if they're permitted in his region.

-I don't have any problem handing out my IDs for verification if I trust the sites and I really need their services.

Actually, there is a reminder whenever we register on a casino or gambling platform.  There is always this check box asking us if we agree with their TOS.  It is an indirect action of telling us to check and read their terms of service.  Sadly most players, newbies, and old players alike don't bother reading their TOS.  It is really a costly mistake because oftentimes every casino have different kinds of implementation for VPN, multi-accounting, and bonuses.  So we really need to check them before clicking we agree to their TOS.

This is what newbies are usually oblivious about. They think that just because they are depositing to the casino, they think that they won't be treated fairly and justly by the casino and that they will always have the free pass when they break ToS. When they're handed what they deserve, they spread rumors and lies like wildfire and try to get the sympathy of a lot of people here making the casino that they played on look bad. Oftentimes, when the casino already replied with their side, these users who obviously broke the casino's terms just disappear. Always has been the case on casinos that only enforces their ToS.

And I think a lot of other users here are right, I don't see this as a costly mistake even on the user who just deposited their money in the casino. It's a rookie's mistake at best, though nothing costly since for sure the gambler would be careful in depositing huge sums if he/she knows that there is a possibility that he/she is committing something against the terms of the casino.

I think this is very common in every aspect of the internet and software users, the terms and conditions of is always ignore by most users not only folks involved in the online gambling casino, I could remember one time I installed a certain app on my andriod and I wanted to process and run the app to get some cash although it wasn't about gambling though but I still failed and click the agreement to the terms and conditions button on the platform and I later realized I just granted that platform permission to temper with my privacy and share my data out to the public which I later complained but I was cleared that I  agreed and gave them the consent to do that.

you are saying the truth, those who are also casino guru, that is gambling addicted are also guilty of this. Most gamblers will open the website and straight to the registration without reading the Terms and Conditions and submit the application and straight to the deposit box and pay and started placing bets and win but when withdrawing the issue arise that you have not done KYC and in the process of doing the KYC o e or two documents were not matched so they cancelled the withdrawal and block the user.
I hope there is a movie that such thing has happened. I can't really remember the movie title, either Date or Truth. It was a form of a game. And everyone was interested bro download the game without reading the T/C and it killed a lot of people, and those who read terms and conditions were saved.

What's a wrong approach by most is that, they register, deposit and gamble. That's the usual step that we do when we're entering an online casino. We don't read much about the terms and when we encounter such problems, that's the time that we're looking back at their FAQ and rules to clarify the problem that we're dealing. It's a wrong approach and that's why it's a mistake that everybody does, who do really read a lot of terms and conditions with such paragraphs that includes rule? I bet that if there's any, they really are rare or very few gamblers because most contents of it are just the same from the other casinos and would ended up with the same conclusion that, they have the right to to change any terms they've made without prior notice.

This is so true! How many times have we heard someone complain about an online casino being unfair, only to discover that they were the ones who messed up by breaking a rule they didn't even know existed?

Let's be honest, most of us are guilty of skipping over those pesky rules and regulations unless we're forced to read them. I gotta admit, I'm totally guilty of this too. But when it comes to anything involving your hard-earned cash, whether it's online casinos or something else, you really need to do your homework and know what you're getting yourself into.

So to all you newbies out there, do yourself a favor and take the time to read through the rules and regulations of any online service you're considering. I know it might not be the most thrilling read, but trust me, it'll save you from a world of hurt in the long run. And if you do end up losing all your money because you didn't bother to read the fine print, well, don't say we didn't warn you!

I agree, many new users don't even spend time reading the terms&conditions before making the first deposit. The reasons behind this logic are simple, they prefer to test the platform with small deposits rather than wasting time reading the whole page of rules. The KYC requirement becomes a pain when a user tries to withdraw big wins or attempt to make a different kind of bet. Gambling mistakes are painful but after having some experience in this industry you learn it sooner or later, IMHO.

this isn't just peculiar to the newbies, even those who are gambling gurus tend to fall prey to this, most times, T&C's are usually the same with the casinos so this guys would feel the conversant with all and then just go in and begin to operate. So this advice is for everyone.

That's someone's mistake that sometimes I myself still make that mistake, even though it is very important before making a deposit at gambling.
Sometimes we underestimate small things that maybe for us it's not a big problem but if it's done continuously it's like a bad habit.
Habits like that usually occur by beginners who try to gamble but only think about profits.
And as a result they make mistakes that violate gambling regulations and the funds are confiscated or the account is blocked after that a lot of complains here.
Sometimes it is very sad to see the problem.

Because of their negligence, they don't have others to blame but the casino that has placed the regulations in front of them but they chose to ignore it.

And when they've come up with violation, they wouldn't admit that they really are part of the problem and didn't read the regulations which is their first fault.

But I don't think it's a costly mistake, there can be delayed in withdrawals due to that but about it being costly is a different thing at least IMHO.

Many casinos do not display this, they assume that as a responsible gambler, you're going to read and be familiar with their terms of service because every casino is different from one another, especially on their TOS.

I highly recommend this to newbies, we always look and read the terms of service every time there's a new casino creates an announcement thread to check if their terms of service are something that the community is comfortable with it or if there are hidden agendas that will put gamblers in trouble along the way.

It's their own fault they just going to humiliate themselves if they persist that their action is correct, we have seen this happening many times in the scam sections, gamblers defend their action when it's their fault for not reading the TOS.

It is obvious that anyone who want to marry casino gambling should go ahead and delete the rules and regulation of the casino before participating in such platform because casino we are allowed to participate or a playground ball into their platform without verification but immediately you win in their gambling session getting to withdraw then verification will be attached to you before withdrawal so it is very right for any gambler to read the rules and regulation of casino platform before participation

I am in that category too I am too lazy to read the T&C since their obviously written in long text and cover several pages that make it tiring to read, but in other to avoid any possible. Mistake, it is advisable to read and understand the terms of service before usage.3

At this point you've made it is one of the mistake newbies actually do, so far my knowledge I think that you beans are supposed to at least read the consent the rules before doing any other thing or using anything because the rules is like a guard lines so fellow to use or to leave them it will trigger they are lux or anything can occur to them as it a maybe

I must admit that I myself had an issue with online gambling during my first few days. I remember not being very knowledgeable about the casino rules and never tried to read them tbh so I unwittingly agreed to them when I signed up my account. As a result I played several times at the casino without actually knowing the rules at all about bonuses which i always activate for my deposits. Until one day I made a deposit and received a bonus after playing a slot game. I made some profits, but I didn't know about the wagering rules for bonuses. Whenever I attempted to withdraw my profits, they were canceled causing me to believe that it was a scam. Because of that I never returned to the casino. However a few days later I decided to contact their support and realized how naive I was.
This should be a lesson and an advice too especially for people who get asked for KYC process when they try to withdrew money. It’s not that the casino is a scam you first need to know the rules of KYC.

In fact, this should apply to everyone, not just beginners. Because each site has its own rules. The rules of one site and another site do not have to be the same. Taking this into consideration, you need to know your risk and what you can do from the beginning. There are sites that I know people prefer directly because the design of the site is beautiful and provides convenience. My close friends also do this. Well, when I ask if you have read the rules of the site, I get the answer no. When this happens, it is likely that these rules are not read at first and when something happens to you according to the situation, the site is likely to come out right.

The FAQ is the first guide that really must be understood. it will refer to the updates that are applied as well as some rules that concern privacy issues.

All online gambling sites have their own FAQ. Most do ignore not to read it, not even beginners, those who have been in gambling for a long time also do not realize that they have missed checking the FAQ.

In the FAQ there is also a list of prohibited countries, and that is the reason some countries do not access the gambling page and must use a VPN to access it.

KYC applied to gambling sites today seems to be quite evenly distributed. Almost all gambling sites apply KYC to make withdrawals.
Not because they want to collect user data, but because they follow government regulations so as not to become a place for laundering criminal money.

But you need to be careful, because some fake gambling sites take advantage of this rule to collect user data and misuse it for their penetration.
For users who are really concerned about privacy, it is worth considering using casinos that implement KYC.

Exactly, the assumption of the fact is what have led thasny issues today, because gamblers believe the terms and conditions of casinos are the same, so they bring in the mentality from casino A to B even though A is different from B in some aspects and functionality.

-So it is important to read each term and conditions properly before venturing into any casino because their all have their own peculiar conditions that make up for their term of service.

Most of the people who is a gambler I've basically know that without going through the conditions of a platform or casino you might be involved into your problem in due time concerning kyc verification or kyc documentation of their account some platforms scam people or take away the forms of people through kyc condition of verification which people who patronize them have a nut dumb or come across the terms and condition of the platform before joining it

Indeed my friend the gambling industry has grown significantly over the past few years resulting in an increase in money laundering cases using casinos. This is due to the simple process involved as many people resort to selling or faking documents to pass the KYC process.
Some peopple may question why a casino would allow players to play and deposit without requesting documents, but only ask for them during withdrawal. The answer is quite simple, casinos require this process, and there is no escaping it.
Additionally, asking for these documents during registration or deposit would be pointless, as most people end up losing against the house, making it a waste of the casino's resources. For non-KYC casinos itis important to exercise caution when depositing large amounts of money.

If its your first time then it would really be ending up on a costly mistake but if it turns out that you have done gambling for some time and still missing out on reading up TOS but havent didnt still face up some issues then you are in luck because issues and violations could be thrown up easily on you.This is why its really that important that you should really avoid any violations so that you wont really be ending up on having those funds locked.

Well, people do learn up lessons on unfortunate ways or conditions and not the realistic way on approaching on risky things.

Most people hardly read the terms and conditions of a gambling site, most of them believe it’s kind of much and they already know things that might be in the terms and conditions, they believe the terms and conditions is of no use so they just end-up click on accept even without reading. Some gamblers do break the terms and conditions and whenever there accounts are compromised, that’s when they will start regretting why they didn’t read the terms and conditions.

Terms and policies of casinos should be reviewed every once in a while because most times they can get updated to change a few things, just like most non-casinos platforms do. Reading casino rules is not just for gambling newbies; most people who are already into gambling sometimes decide to register a new casino platform just to try it out, and they also forget to read the rules at times.

I never read the T&C, it is something that has affected me because of what they have to do with the kyc, it is something that I do not like to do, especially when you are an immigrant and you do not have the invoices in your name but in the name of the people who It rents you where you live, it is for that reason that I don't like it and I don't like taking bonuses because it's more difficult to win and although the main attraction of a casino is to have fun, I'm looking to win because I don't have money to give away, Sports betting is where you have the most option.

It is very rare for people who want to register at a casino to take the time to read the rules in the casino.
Most of them visit a casino because they see an interesting promotion and immediately register if they don't have an account there.
And yes, that's the most common mistake people make but after we get into trouble, we read the rules and find we are wrong because we didn't read the rules.
But we keep defending ourselves by saying that we are not wrong and want to withdraw the money we have earned.
This must be changed because it is for our own good so that by reading the rules in the casino, we can know about everything and even we will not violate the rules when we want to get that promotion.

Not just the FAQ but also their TOS where you can find their rules in general and become aware of it. That's important before starting to use the casino. But unfortunately many newbie gamblers forget this step before they play then will file a complaint thinking they were cheated by the casino not knowing they violated a specific rule.

If you don't want to face problem then exert some effort to do a research about the casino and read their TOS. It's not hard yet most of us failed to do so.

If ask for personal data documents at the start of registration, of course, no one will register and miss the opportunity to be able to enter the casino.
This is not good for the development of online casinos.

In the beginning, you only have to fill in your username and email, after that the account will be active.
But if we as casino users are more careful to want to read the FAQ or Privacy Policy, then it will be explained there that users who wish to make a deposit must include KYC, or there is a certain amount that requires them to deposit KYC (each online casino policy is different).

and for casinos that don't implement any KYC, you need to consider it, and see the testimonials first, so you don't get caught in a scam casino.

    Like you, I also experienced the same thing that I didn't immediately read their rules and practices that they have. The only difference between us is that the casino I entered was very good and I didn't have any problems even when I was withdrawing my winnings which I estimate to be only 30-80$ and it arrived at the address I entered.

And you are also right because it is necessary for everything we do as a gambler to know the rules and policies that a casino has.

Honestly, how many people log in to a website and immediately go read the ToS? I'll bet it's less than 10% of a websites users. It's no different on any website either. It doesn't necessarily have to be a gambling platform. Bitcointalk has the same issues. Noone reads the rules and stickies and some find themselves banned fast.

I highly agree with you. Most of the times we only read ToS when we need something. It's also a common occurrence to hear complaints everyday in whatever platform it is. Because, like it or not, we don't like complicated things and such hassles when it comes accessing the things that we want, same with whatever sign ups we've done, and we only care about that when these are involved "money and security".

As long as you register with a regulated casino, they will never have unfair terms; otherwise, their license will be taken away by the provider. However, some providers are now unreliable or not strict in monitoring the casinos they grant a license to. That's one of the reasons why many gamblers are getting scammed because they only look at the license and miss the reputation of a casino.

You are right that it is good to read the terms and conditions of a casino before joining, but this more applies to beginners. Like me that I have read like 2 or 3 casinos rules, I may find it not hard to fully read another casinos rules, only what I will just check for is if the casino is legal in my country, if the use of VPN is prohibited, my country support gambling though and I am not using VPN, but there can be sometimes that I may forget to off VPN but not likely. I am not ready to cheat or have two accounts. There are many rules that are the same about gambling sites, just few are different. But if you have one account and make sure that you do not cheat, not in country the gambling site do not support, you may still be able to get what is in the rules. But my best advice would be to always read the T&C.

Yes, you are right on this point of yours mentioned above, because not only newbies, but almost a majority of gamblers who does same mistake too not reading each rule that governs a certain casino, and I have noticed that one of the issues newbies complain about the most is the request by casinos asking for KYC during withdrawal, which most people are not always okay with it, and at such term it as a scam, when however, they are the ones at fault failing to read the casinos terms and conditions.

So in conclusion, not only is it good to read the terms and conditions of a casino you intend to gamble with but also check their online reviews is also very important from sites such as "trustpilot.com" & "scamadviser.com"

Because most of the other gamblers here in crypto gambling only learn to read the rules and regulations when they are there with the issue they are facing.

In short, that's where they know and discover such things. And this should change the attitudes of most gamblers in this crypto space to be honest.

This is really one of the mistakes of newbies in gambling, not only in gambling actually, but in using other platforms as well.

Some people are not fond of reading, I'm well aware of that. Most people just nonchalantly scroll past the terms and conditions instead of actually reading it for their own benefit. Simply because some are too lazy to read and some don't really bother what's the content of it, so they just click the "I agree" button then proceed without knowing what they signed up to. It became a habit because some do not know how important to know the information stated in the TOS. Which results to having conflict to some of the rules imposed by the casinos and developers in general.

It's such a shame that some problems ratted out here and even inconveniences most people encounter could have been prevented if only they weren't too lazy to read the policies before agreeing to it. Hopefully though, people, especially the beginners will take seriously the TOS and read it with comprehension. Because it could really cost you so much if you are being negligent.

It is our responsibility as gamblers to read the rules in the casino. And each casino has different rules, so we have to make sure we understand the rules so we don't accidentally break those rules.

Most who experience problems like this are new to gambling and don't read the rules carefully. And when they had a problem and asked customer service, they finally understood that it was their own fault. That is why we must prevent this by reading the rules about what we can and cannot do while gambling.

I'd actually say at some sense casinos are at fault (some of them) since they sometimes intentionally put put notices like these in obscure places. I do understand that users need to read the TOS before anything else, but a friendly reminder can go a long way, say before your first time deposits or first time games.

I'd also blame the majority of the internet for this,. They pretty much made your average user to not think much of rules, especially on websites. Can't blame them though, TOS are sometimes so unintuitive that it's just an absolute pain to read, especially if English wasn't your first language.

I'm not sure for beginners or new users who visit online casinos don't read and know the rules or risk actions that arise for users in the future, and all the consequences that could occur in the future. I think only 20% don't read about the rules, because most of the rules notices in every online casino are either on the first page or easily visible at the start.

So, that's why many users, when they lose bets, often corner certain gambling sites for various reasons.
I think the factor of someone losing control and going berserk is not a factor of not reading the rules, but there are other factors.

If my understanding is that this factor lies in the economy, try it or just for fun which leads to addiction, try again and try again, in the end you lose control. I think that's the main reason, many gambling circles ignore the rules, preferring imagination with the goal of wanting to win big and lots of money, not a few users who gamble create dozens of accounts, the goal is to get lucky with accounts A, B, C, D and so on, ending up losing everything.

This is a normal thing to happen. because, most gamblers are lazy to read the ToS or FAQ which is actually available as a guide for visitors to the casino or site.

Even to be honest, not infrequently "in the past" I also often ignored things like reading ToS or FAQ from a site or casino. but over time, plus the need for knowledge. things like this, become a part that should become a habit. especially, for us gamblers. so that we don't experience obstacles, and feel confused ourselves. even though most of the cases that become a problem for gamblers, are things that are usually trivial in nature. but because of our indifference, which ultimately makes us trapped in our own confusion. But, I don't think that's too much of a problem. because, armed with a mistake will give us new knowledge.

If everyone are read the terms of service of the casino, I'm sure most people will not want to gamble because they will find a rule where the casino didn't explicit about everything like the way they consider cheating, the punishment you will get if you broke a rule, and other thing that you think the player is getting disadvantage while the casino seems get edge over the rule. Just focus of few things like minimum deposit, maximum withdrawal, fees, KYC, banned region etc, multiple account, don't need to read all.

First thing I check when registering on any gambling site it's their terms of gambling, how comfortable they may be for me as a gambler and if am not okay with it I keep off. This is money issue we're dealing with here so no time is a waste one using it to read through instructions and T&C's so to keep yourself from being taken unaware anytime

I always did but not going all through of it, you can just hit CTRL+F and then look for the keywords that needs to be filtered. It's a hassle, yes, but it wouldn't cost you 10 minutes if there's some filtration you do. If you can't read it on the time you join at least read it after you gamble your money and want to deposit once again.

Do you think the terms of service you've read it all wouldn't changed in the next few days later? the casino have a right to update or change any rules without letting know every of their gamblers, do you think you will visit the terms of services everyday and read all the terms of services again? I doubt you will do it because it's really a time consuming and our life isn't only for gambling.

This a nice reminder to every gambler out there especially the new ones.
Not everything can be seen in plain view and let us avoid regretting it when the time comes that we just found out it's part of the TOS. Not just the FAQ's but also going deep into having knowledge about the deposit maximum for a specific account level and then the withdrawal minimums.
Then, there are the transaction fees when we are using cryptocurrencies. Once we are in, deposited money, we have to make sure that we are just paying the right amount when we exit too.
Before, I experienced 50k satoshis of withdrawal fees. Imagine if that kind of online casino is still doing the same number. It's a large amount for just tx fees.

Well, from an ethical standpoint, it would be better if a lot of these online gambling casinos put in a sign for newbies like that. It would be just as ethical as not writing a terms and conditions in tiny lettering.

While many of these complainers are just complaining about losing money after being caught breaking the rules, a large percentage of the complainers are actually just naive people who should have had the terms and conditions shown to their face with the warning that rule breakers would not get their money back.

I think if the casinos put up a warning like that, everyone would read the rules.

But that might not be the most profitable option, for the owners...

This can be very costly I completely agree. Some casinos have very strict rules about what they allow like unintentional use (forgetting about) of VPN can get you instant and permanent ban with all your assets frozen. Its definitely not cool to experience but there are rules imposed by casino and country which casino is based in. So everyone is obliged to follow rules so you cannot claim that "I didn't know". KYC is something imposed by casinos because it actually protects not other way. Details must be read.

Mouthwatering and attractive bonuses most times blind the mind of some gamblers and they fail to read the terms of service. They fail to understand that not reading the terms and conditions might lead to costly mistakes that will lead to regret. Reading the frequently asked questions will expose newbies to dos and don'ts of the casino company. Some of them has withdrawal and deposit policies that are different from others. Government policies might differ because of type of government. Another important aspect that should be considered is the KYC policy of the casino. Some of them promotes privacy while others require personal information.

There are really times that we're lazy too read long TOS but we should require ourselves to read everything before registering because it might affect our journey in the long run.
They say that the only excuse to the law is being an idiot so we should never say that we never knew that we are already violating their terms of service. We are risking our funds here so right from the beginning, we should be responsible for our actions. This is actually the common mistake of gamblers who fail so we must learn from others' mistakes.

We must do that before registering on a casino site because we want to avoid things we don't want. By checking the rules and regulations of the casino, we know what we have to do and try to avoid making mistakes. And we really have to understand the rules to be comfortable playing and enjoying all gambling games.

After all, it does not matter if we try to understand the rules as it's in our best interest because if we make the casino our favorite one, we want to protect our account from any problems that could arise. We can ask customer service if there is something we don't know.

Indeed, most of us are guilty of this mistake. And this doesn't apply to just an online casino; we can visit and use the services offered by other websites too. It is only when the adrenaline rush has subsided, either when we lose big or encounter a KYC issue or any other issue while using the website, that we retrace our steps and take the time to explore the website. Which include reading the FAQ, contacting or emailing their customer service agent about our queries, and reading the blog section of the casino website. This is a costly mistake that gamblers always learn from personal experience.

FAQ is much easier to read but there might be some things who can only be found on the TOS so indeed that they must also read it. In your first question, there is no way we can make a deposit if our country is unsupported because by the time we access the site we will see something like "sorry..,, blah, blah". The second one is already understood by everyone.

On number 3; I believe that many of us disregard this and we mainly focus on the minimum deposit but no doubt the minimum deposit is also important and must come first because there is still no assurance that we can win and withdraw. The last one may not really be important but many us can prefer casinos with no license because they don't usually have a KYC and many of them are still legit.

In many countries censorship reaches a very high level due to the fact that the authorities do not allow dissent and try to keep power in their hands as tightly as possible, so the citizens of such countries are forced to use VPN on a regular basis. And using a VPN you can easily register on many gambling sites (even which prohibit gambling for citizens of your country), but most likely you will break another rule - the ban on the use of anonymizers on the Internet. So you should always read the TOS and follow it.

Main behavior on which applicable for most people or specially on gamblers on which we are really that lazy on reading up terms and conditions on which this is an important thing before on dealing up with something

specially when you are really that tending to make some deposit into some site or does simply involves money.It is really that important that you should really be that considerate on reading up things so that you wont really be that missing the most important thing which could potentially put you up into some problem when you do able to violate it just because you hadnt just read it up.

People would be only making out realizations on the time that they would be experiencing problems.

I don't know of any gambling site that don't live you an accord box to there T&C to click before processing a registration. It's protocol for all registered gambling sites as a means to ensure the rules guiding the sphere is followed squarely and for there protection as well.
Apparently, it's mostly ignored by users due to an adrenaline rush to register and start gambling with immediate effect and they have no idea on what they've agreed to.
It's always annoying and funny to have them come up with theseaccusations at times on confiscated funds and frozen accounts. It's always up to users most times and if you play by the rules, the rules would surely guide you. When you don't play by the rules, it would be used in prosecuting you.

Have you ever played an online game or registed into a website that asks you to check the box if you have read the T&C of their game/platform? Majority of us just fill or check it despite not reading all of it due to its long and somehow pointless use. But the true effect is that once you have committed a breach on their T&C, it is prima facie for them that you have read and understood their regulations that would warrant your prohibition.

At the end of the day, avoid doing actions that would warrant a breach on the T&C of a gambling website. Even if you did not read everything, just avoid the things that could generally block or ban you from their platform.

This is too general you should have mentioned the specific mistake resulted from not reading the rules and regulation of a gambling platform. To give you some, betting multipliers is usually being a mistake by new players wherein they tend to just click and qill be surprised that their bet is that huge already. If it wins ofcourse they'd be happy otherwise, that'll be a huge loss.
In most of the applications and platforms we are all guilty of not reading the ToS simply because it is too long. Fortunately, I haven't had any problems regarding this concern. But indeed, since we are talking about money, that should be an enough reason for us to take extra caution with our actions. An alternative with reading rules and regulation is simply asking other players to be aware of something you know nothing about. It won't cost you a dime from doing so.

You're not talking only about newbies because even if someone who's been gambling for years with crypto casinos, you'll find out that many of us don't read a lot and just hit the register button so fast.

It's their problem that they don't look back at the rules that they need to remember for them to stop spreading FUD. But it's like a revenge act for those frustrated gamblers and that's the retaliation that they do. And that's what we can blame for them by being hasty to not consider themselves that they're at fault.

This is one of the difficult side many of us that are gamblers do not want to put our attention and it's is when things goes wrong that we will want to know why the casino we have been using took such a firm decision against our winning. It is very important for us to keep writing terms of condition when we want to register on a site that we will use for something serious. I have made this kind of mistake before and I know how it tell on me because I was not ready to do the right before reading the terms and condition of a particular site I was using to trade before now.

It can't be avoided for new gamblers as they don't want to spend more than several minutes during the registration process but they usually learn from their mistake or through the mistake of others so they should be fine.

That shortcut is always helpful when you're about to go through the terms and conditions page of the casino you're playing since they're always long and the sections you're looking for might be at the middle or bottom of the page.

I know I'm not sure, but I hardly read the entire T&C, I usually pay more attention to the parts that talk about deposits, KYC requirements and limits.
I'd like to know how many players here actually fully read KYC, but I believe that's a topic for another thread with a poll.

The FAQ, on the other hand, is quite attractive for those who want to have a quick and superficial overview of the functioning and main rules of the site, this one I always read and in fact I think it is very valid because it is usually a quick read.

I believe that every site should have a simplified T&C, without too many technical terms and in a summarized way, covering the main and most important topics of the rules.
This document does not need to be legally valid and should not replace the T&C, but it would be very interesting to "facilitate" users' understanding and even make more players aware of the rules before starting to play.

I've been gambling in an online website for some time already, and TBH, I didn't bother to visit their Terms and Conditions, or FAQ's whatever it is. Even I'm a newbie, I didn't visit or read this one, and I'm pretty sure that the newbies are doing the same.

This quote isn't applied only for the newbies, but also for the gamblers who are gambling on their website for a long time. I mean I'm pretty sure that there are some long time gamblers out there who didn't even have a time to read their rules and regulations. What gamblers are thinking more is the potential profits that they can make rather than the security or the TOS of the website, and when the worst thing happens with them, they will post a scam accusation here, or they will rant somewhere else, and will share their story.

At the end of the day, this quote still isn't helpful for newbies if they don't know how to control themselves whenever they're gambling.

But new users are asked to agree to the terms and conditions of the casinos before signing up right? They shouldn't be reminded anymore to read the rules and regulations when they're already members, because upon signing up they are already presented with the rules and regulations. All they have to do is read them. But are they reading them? Probably not. Many are guilty of this omission including myself. But at least I'm not spreading FUD due to ignorance. 

This is a habit that new players have, and it's not only in casinos or gambling I have no idea what people typically think when they skip reading the rules and regulations, which is why it usually doesn't work out well and you see them breaking the rules or losing money. Because they neglected to read the forum rules, most newcomers end up being banned from the community. It's either ignorance or negligence.

It's very important to know the rule of any game this is also applicable to casinos or gambling sites unfortunately a lot of newbies gamblers probably ignored the rules and regulations guiding the site unfortunately jumped into gambling, of course if there is any shortcomings in a event of a gambler wining big unfortunately couldn't receive their payout due to rules broken definitely the casinos or gambling sites will ultimately make reference to those rules which makes it difficult for any lawyer to defend their client, I hope newbies will learn to read all the  how important rules and regulations guiding any gambling site.

New users are indeed asked to agree to the terms and conditions of the casino before registering but not many of them want to take the time to read the terms and conditions already written at the casino.
Most new users will immediately register, log into their accounts, and start depositing money to play gambling.
This makes many people have trouble when they want to withdraw their money because they think that the terms and conditions have just been made even though it is their fault for not reading the rules.
Even things like this also happen to people who have often played gambling in many casinos and it seems that we underestimate this rule and are not careful to read it.

Some are not ignorance or negligence, some people only want to take advantage of some promotional offers, especially the newcomer 100% deposit reward, some people do not use it to joke and they can like to create more account to collect more offers for deposit because the offers are limited to certain amount of money in some gambling sites. The last gambling site I opened recently to take advantage of the offer, it was limited to $133.

Some people are from banned country but they want to gamble and if they use some of the gambling sites, they may be able to gamble, but if they win, the gambling site will check for all these and if found to be playing from a restricted country or having multiple accounts, they will not let him be able to withdraw his money and also ban him from using their gambling site.

In these scenario above, you can see how some people may know the terms of service but just want to be smart.

I personally can relate with this very senerio because I already feel very guilty of this very act because it seems most of the gamblers always ignore reading the terms and conditions of most platforms and suddenly turn up with allegations based on their assumption tarnishing the names and reputations of a casino that has worked so hard to earn such.

Some other players don't really fluant all this rules because of ignorance but rather because of selfishness and greed and just as other users said, most times people want to claim some promotional offers and bonuses and just go straight to making deposit without proper investigatio.

This has a point.

Most people already knew what is stated in the TOS, yet they still choose to break it because they want to take advantage of the promotions and bonuses. This is common and rampant in sign up bonuses and free spins wherein players create multiple accounts just to get those perks for newbies when they aren't newbies and it's already stated that it is prohibited to create multiple accounts. Sometimes, the people who even rant are those offenders. Which is really courageous of them since they had the guts to even complain of the suspension or banning of their accounts, knowing it to themselves they did unusual activities which lead to their account being compromised.


To cut it short, some people are not ignorant or stupid, rather they just want to make the most out of something they saw worth profiting.

They also forgot to read the gambling policy, it is annoying when you see gambling with legal documents page that states their terms and condition but I think the best thing any newbie to any gambling will do is to go through that documents, to avoid unnecessary stories. Most often than not, those problem newbies usually encounter with Casino is because they failed to read simple instructions like avoidance of multiple accounts, use of VPN, and doing KYC. All these agreements are written there for players to see but the general orientation they lack is they don't read these documents and voice out later that they are been cheated.

Why is the internet to be blamed for users who don't bother reading rules or terms and conditions? I don't think that any service or website that offers something that involved monetary value doesn't encourage or ask its consumers to read its rules or terms and conditions. In fact, online services encourage reading terms and services more than traditional service providers.

I think only a user is to be blamed if they don't read the terms and conditions and then get stuck in a situation that wouldn't even be if they had read them in the first place.

That's because most beginners don't check the casino rules and register directly with the casino. Even though this is important for those who are still beginners so that they slowly learn to understand the rules and don't get into trouble later, and if they already know the rules, they can play calmly and maybe follow the promos in the casino properly. And when they want to withdraw their winnings, it won't be a problem because they haven't violated any casino rules. So no more people complaining that the casino is cheating them because they can't withdraw their winnings.

Every gambler should fully understand what he gets into before he deposits real money at a casino. The first step would be to learn about the games we want to play. We can find out or winning chance and the house edge with a quick Google search for any game. Most of the casinoe use very similar games, so we can compare across different platforms. Just because we don't understand something won't save us from losing our money. Also many casinos offer play money to test their games before using our own money. The next step is to read the terms and conditions of the casino where we want to play. Especially when we want use special promotions it's important to read all the details, otherwise me might try to withdraw money before we are even eligible for it.

It is obvious that one of the reasons newbies make huge mistakes in an online casino is because they neglect the do and don't of the game. Forgetting that there must be a set rules for every gambler. The first thing any gambler should do is to go though the
Not just the newbies but also to everyone who plays online casino. And it also advisable to look at the guidelines of the the game as iy may change with time. This will help you not to default as there are penalties to any defaulter of the rules.

Most gamblers don't read it anyway. Of course it's advised to read all the rules before depositing money, but realistically it's not feasible for most gamblers to read a long text of terms and services on every platforms they have an account. I think an alternative solution would be to search directly for key points in particular inside the rules, especially regards countries restrictions, number of accounts per IP, VPN usage, and account inactivity.

That's what I always do before agreeing to the casino's tos upon registration. It will take time to read long terms of services texts so it will be better to go on straight to the key points because most of their context only pertains to common rules that we are already aware of. Just focus on the usual questions that we want to be answered or we can check their FAQS for easier research. What important are we know what to follow and we know what we shouldn't do so our whole gambling experience will not be ruined.

Every legit casino will have a check box for terms and conditions or a note by clicking you accept all the terms and conditions when registeration itself so its our ignorance and casinos should not be blamed for such things.

I would like to mention one of the costliest mistake which can happen to anyone by unknowingly which is clicked the max wrongly instead of bet which will bet whatever amount left in our wallet and if we lose that bet then its a huge loss.

Yeah I’ve noticed a good bit of this going on as well. Of course reading the FAQs is an important rule for anyone joining an online casino, but do some basic google searching as well. Check and see how the reputation of the Casino is. If there’s issues and nonsense for newbies to have to deal with, then you’ll most likely see that all over google on forums and what not talking about it. Problem is people are lazy and rarely take the time to do things like this.

Sometimes I simply go to the google and search for the rule regards a casino in particular I'm interested and doubtful about. For an example: does casino x accept users from country y? Does casino x allow users to use VPN? Then different sites will appear, including the official page of the casino I'm looking for and also bitcointalk forum threads. Next time I'm going to try doing this through ChatGPT. :D

But casinos do in fact do that, if you want to create an account at any casino you are going to find out that when you are introducing your username and your password you will see a checkbox which says that you need to accept their TOS before registering, and in some of them you cannot even check that box until you scroll past all the text, so casinos actually encourage their gamblers to read their TOS, it is just that people refuse to do it.

I haven't seen anyone complain about not reading the FAQs and missing out on a lot of things that were supposed to be put in plain sight, you may be talking about ToS and Privacy Statements as some people in this post have pointed out. To that I will say it's also intentionally misleading how these Terms of Conditions and Terms of Service agreements are being written. All in convoluting and unintelligible corporate lingo, plus walls of text that only ever say one thing, this is done in order to have the person press the agree button immediately and have them not think about it anymore. If there's only a legislation that would enforce companies and bookies in this case to make their contracts more readable, that's really going to make a change.

Long terms of service documents that span over tens or hundreds of pages are how casinos con their players with unfair rules and conditions. Just like how other day to day/online services use the terms of service to infiltrate, store and sell your data without you knowing. You can argue that it is up to the player to read these documents in full, I would argue that a lot of players trust that the terms of service is a document that includes fair conditions, instead of what it usually is (being, a trap).

I give people advice, you don't need to read the whole term & condition.
- Go to T&C
- User search function (CTRL + F)
- Find A Topic with Keyword (KYC & Withdraw)

These two topic is important, why? for KYC to know did casino asking some KYC or not (but most the time, there always have some word "they can ask you KYC in some case). Withdraw to know the limit withdraw.

Avoid a small limit withdraw without KYC. You can finish these under 2-3 mins.

While I agree with you and those kind of situations happen more than we are aware of. I want to point out to the fact most of the people do not read any of the terms of service of ANY of the web pages and applications we have gotten on our phones and computers.

I believe it has become something which is actively used by shady companies to turn the balance against us, in the case we end up being a bother to them, in their eyes.  ::)


that is a very good advice there. It is something I have done in the past to check the terms and conditions of wallets and exchanges.
Hopefully, most newbies know about the ctrl+f function.   :)

Those people that think no one would know that they've violated the terms and conditions and still start a rant only to take advantage of the fact that their accounts were banned or funds confiscated are basically unethical. They know that they are wrong but they won't admit it and keep trying to get something that doesn't even belong to them in the first place.

They are not ignorant, but they do it with the purpose of maybe getting out clean and get the bonuses that they tried to cheat and have, little they know is that the platform has all their records.

What the OP have said is not merely for the newbies only but for all the gamblers here in this forum because even the old gamblers still make some mistake and likely skip the ToS/T&C and even FAQ because of that mindset that maybe this platform is not that different to the other one when in-fact there's a huge chance that the other platform have their own set of rules that is really different to the other one.

It's not just costly gambling mistakes for the newbies but for also the regular gamblers, and this thread that is made by the OP shall be a reminder to all of us.

I confess that I am not in the habit of reading the TOS of casinos, but I research the reputation of casinos, scam cases, cases of problems with deposits and withdrawals, so when I see that the casino I intend to use has problems with deposits and withdrawals and KYC and when I run to see the TOS, but I don't have the habit of reading the TOS without first doing research on the casino, I know that my defect is not good, but I also don't like to use many casinos at the same time , I prefer to use only stake.com only, because with that I avoid doing KYC in many casinos when stake.com has everything I need


the truth is that in most cases of scam customers are prevented from withdrawing money because the casino claims that they have broken the TOS when the casino is just lying, I dare to say that the number of cases of this type exceeds 90%, we have a great example here on the forum of this type of cases, for example:

XBIT.COM ᐉ 7 BTC WB ᐉ Altcoin Betting ᐉ no KYC ᕗ Instant payouts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5267172.0)

if anyone takes 1 hour reading all the accusations in this thread you will see that the casino uses the TOS to block people's account even if they are innocent people who have not broken the TOS and unfortunately this is what many casinos have been doing mainly when the customer wins money on the casino

The problem is that considering all the rules and risks, I should not use any services  ;D Any ToS is designed so that the client is always in the red and the organization protects itself from all risks. I almost never read ToS seriously because I focus on reputation and reviews, plus I know that in case of problems I will go to court (this, of course, does not apply to online casinos and similar services).

What can we expect from them? They are just beginners but mistakes like that can re-shape them and build them to become better. The next time they play again, they will check all the details so that the experience that they will get is going to be great.

It was mostly newbies who are tempted to follow the promotions but they will be like us who will get tired of it once they figured out that promotions are hard to fulfill. There are casinos who are scam and no matter how we follow their rules, we still can't be able to withdraw our winnings. Complaining is useless because there is no way that they can change their mind once they already done those things.

We do always say about mistakes and errors are the best teachers but eventually we could really be able to avoid up these things if we are really just that mindful when it comes to
reading up those terms and conditions or whatever information that must be read up because it would really be able to avoid you into committing out those common mistakes if you have just spare up some time for that.

Sooner or later they would really be realizing that bonuses and other correlated stuffs wont really be that something interesting considering that terms and requirement isnt
something that simply achievable.

You're not alone, many of us here I guess have that habit that we're not reading the TOS of where we're registering with. I think that's a par thing to do even if we don't read TOS and just sign up immediately but before we sign up, we're doing some research. However, that's still not a reason to avoid reading the TOS just because we've already made research. Actually, it's making me think that research first which is needed to be done, and then reading the TOS if we're decided to sign up and gamble from that casino we're researching. So, it's gotta be a combination of both of it to be not resulting into a mistake.

That's what users are doing. Instead of reading the TOS, they research on the forum and google to see if the casino is trusted or not. Once they find it good, they deposit and bet, that's just what is it.

I have no patience reading a long TOS that will take time either. Submitting KYC documents may be what he meant by costly but people are now OK with it anymore. There is no escaping from regulations. But it could be costly if OP meant the users will be cheating the casino.

I know users are already aware of the importance of these rules, these terms and conditions but maybe due to laziness to read because of their greed for money making, they turn to gamble without understanding the terms and conditions first, and makes them regret in the end. And then users end up making false accusations, posting complaints here and there, not realizing that they are the ones responsible of their own mistakes in gambling.

And they do make themselves looks like a fool on what they're doing on which making out accusations without even trying to look on what they had committed or violated.They would be just simply be laughed
on by people and would really be pointing out fingers into a particular user who had just missed out on reading up something.Therefore, on the time you do make out some complaints then be sure that
you had fully followed their terms and conditions so that on the time that issues been raised up then you are on the right thing and could prove out that the platform
or the company is on having issues.

I seriously don't think it's proper to just jump on a casino site and begin to request for a wallet to deposit 'em funds and begin gambling immediately, when you're supposed to read alot from the listed TOS,T/C's and FAQs just to know how the whole operational route is supposed to be followed without unnecessary fouls on the long run.
I've seen diverse instances where peeps just get registered since they're too greedily enticed by 'em bonuses, etc...and afterwards, they'll end up trying to request a withdrawal (including the bonuses) without fulfilling the 'em terms and conditions,...and that's where everything will end cus the casino will be left with no choice than to lock your account up

I am also one of those that does not check TOS upon registering.  Though I have not encountered any problem with my action so far, I can say that it is wrong to not check the terms and conditions of a site where we are signing up.  

I do agree that we need to know more about the platform we are about to register and reading its FAQ, and TOS is one good way to know more about that platform.  We can also check the internet for the reviews before deciding to play on the said platform.

It's not a popular mistake but rather newbies are not just paying attention. Usually, even newbies are not aware of the Terms and Conditions, it doesn't lead to an account being flagged or something related to that and they will just play on their usual.

In general, what most new users missed are the Terms and Conditions "related" to Bonus and Promotions.

That's where sh*t happened as there are many good expectations that users are looking forward too upon reading the promotions but not taking time to read the details and the whole terms about that promotion.

Surely there will still be many people who register without reading the terms and conditions on certain sites, even though they don't have any problems, however, we should read it first so we can avoid problems that incriminate ourselves.
Even though maybe people who have been in gambling for a long time will certainly understand very well about the terms and conditions that are in gambling, but sometimes every gambling has different rules.
Because even though sometimes we don't have any problems but sometimes we have a bad day, at that time maybe we just realize that it's important to read the FAQ before registering.

I bet that also includes you, right? I'm admitting that I myself am also not reading entire term and conditions which are not only lengthy but are also boring. I'm not really interest with all the rules and regulations. At most, I am selective. I only read a portion of it, going directly to more important parts like withdrawal limit, fees, KYC, etc. Most of the time however this is just a kind of a verification step as even before I sign up in a gambling site, I have already more or less researched and read reviews about it.

Well, that's what newbies suppose to do, but unfortunately, they aren't reading what must be read because they believe it's a waste of time. They are only eyeing on the possible profits that they can get if they win. Now when the worse thing happens, they will blame the casino for it where in fact, it's their problem that they didn't read what must be read like the TOS, FAQ blah blah.

They are just scrolling down the TOS, check the small box below and proceed. There are some gamblers who are focusing more on their possible profits while there are some who are focusing more on the bonuses that they can get. Well, there's nothing wrong with it, but at least read what must be read.

Like @Fundamentals Of, I'll also admit that I'm not reading the TOS or whatever it is, and TBH, I don't see anything wrong with it as long as you know when to gamble and when not to.

We don't expect much from them because they decided not to check every casino rule. And if they make an accidental mistake because of their inaccuracy, they have to sort it out themselves and hope they can do it.

Supposedly if they have had an experience like that, they can learn from that experience and not try to repeat it in other casinos. But apparently not so because some still repeat it and get almost the same problem. Let's hope we don't get into trouble like them.

and they are the type of gambler that loves to risk , and this is the fruit of their laziness  ;D
 and let them learn from their mistakes so in time it will be their guidance not to happen again.
who will never learn losing that kind? even a big time gambler will never let that to happen again lol.

   -    It seems that there are many communities here in this forum who often ignore the reading of the toss that there are in crypto gambling here ah.

But anyway, mate, if you know that you are not violating any of the rules that the casino has, then just continue gambling using their platform, especially if you can withdraw without encountering any problems.

To be completely honest, not only those newbies were not reading the TOS or the FAQs, but also those who have gambled for many years already. The only difference is, newbies are of course not familiar with the common TOS that most of the online gambling website have. Those that are experienced knew the common rules of an online casino, but it should also be wise to at least check the country/area restrictions and the use of VPN, that I guess is the only major challenges you'll have when you're restricted.

I guess that this is something we all should do when we use any online services (search engines, Apps, virtual stores...) but we don't. In the case of online casinos, the main difference is that the direct consequence is more obvious: we lose money directly from our balance.

I have the suspicion that there are some casinos out there (not the best known ones, but some of the newest or smallest) that do systematically benefit from this common mistake. Knowing that people do not read the TOS, they make profit from the unwary who gamble from a country not admitted, use a VPN by default, etc.

That is why we should always read the TOS, even though it is long and boring. For myself, I only learned the important information that must not be done in the casino in the FAQs, as they are mostly short and direct to the point, which is why that is the best place to start checking information before doing things that you think will affect your accounts. Also, those who are experienced gamblers know everything from their friends or from forums about the rules; only a few people read the TOS, but it's better if you can skim it or ask questions.
