Bitcoin Forum

This question just popped into my head.

Most casinos we play at now are regulated, meaning we technically have recourse if things go sideways. But here's what usually happened, when a player feels cheated, the usual move is to rant on forums, accuse the casino of scamming, and hope the community backs them up.

But what if the casino, despite being regulated, has all the right excuses and ends up swaying the community in their favor? You know you’ve been wronged, but now even fellow gamblers are dismissing you.

At that point, do you:

1- Fight back legally? (Even if it’s expensive and the odds are stacked against you.)
2- Just let it go?

Curious if anyone’s actually gone through with legal action or if it’s all just forum talk in the end.

I have made some findings about this before if I remember correctly. There are people that have sued gambling sites before but the result has always been the gambling site winning the lawsuit. So just know that if anyone sue any reputed gambling site, the gambling site may win the case.

Let's be realistic --- even if we have been cheated by a casino then it is difficult to sue the casino especially in small amounts that are cheated then it will be used up by operating costs to hire lawyers and others, so more people ignore rather than sue legally.

Except in the case of millions of dollars maybe someone can pursue whatever they want especially if they have the money to do so, but we know casinos are usually ready with all the demands in the end the player will lose.

Most gamblers are struggling to survive, the few numbers of them that I know are trying hard at life to make a change, tell me how can such people fight for their right when spending money is involved?

---

There are many cases of injustice in my country that's been ignored by the victims because they don't have money to fight the injustice, this is the case with my country, money is everything over here.

---

Thinking about this, if one have enough money to start a case, go to the court and hire a high level lawyer what are they doing with gambling anyway? I know that rich people do gamble but their numbers is very small compare to people that are struggling.

From every right reserved we have every right whatsoever to sue a casino company if in any case, we feel we can win against them, I know of people who have sued a casino company and they won the case, This Casino Company have their rules and regulation and are mostly regulated by the government, Money is very important in this case if as an individual you have people behind you i think its a good encouragement to fight for your right.

I think at any point it is important to fight them legally with some financial backup. There is no way an individual is going to fight the Casino Company if not backed up financially. I have come across some media outlets where some information has been posted concerning the issues of Casinos refusing to pay an individual who has won a Casino game, And legal action was taken.

I  agree with you on that matter, but you know what's worse than a lawsuit for these casinos? When their reputation gets destroyed in the community. If players start calling them out as scammers and the community backs it up, that's permanent damage and everyone will avoid that casino.

In a lawsuit, even if the gambler wins, it's usually just quiet settlement money. The player takes the payment and moves on, and the casino keeps operating like nothing happened. But when the whole community turns against them? That hits much harder where it really hurts  their business.

Although there are cases that the gamblers would win but it is very rear and the gambling site will accept that the gambler won and no reason that they can not give him all the money won but not given because either they do not have the money or their machine malfunctioned. These are the ones that I have read before.

For the first one, that is the reason it is good to gamble on a reputed gambling site that you know will be able to afford to pay the possible amount that you won. While the second is common not on online gambling sites but on land based casinos.

I have read a case that the gambler win huge amount of money due to the slot machine malfunction and the person won an amount of money that the casino was not able to pay and led to lawsuit. I think the casino did not want to pay at all but the person won the case and the casino was told to pay the person millions of dollars but not all the money won because the casino was not able to afford it

The laws of each country regarding gambling and land-based casinos and online casinos are very different and most online casinos are licensed in Curacao. So if a person wants to sue a casino that is licensed in Curacao, that person will be required to travel to Curacao and hire a lawyer from Curacao.

The Curacao licensing provider does not seem to require that casinos licensed by them have a physical office in Curacao and have a casino lawyer who lives permanently in Curacao, so I highly doubt that a lawsuit filed by someone against a casino that is licensed in Curacao will have any legs to stand on. It will have a better chance of being dismissed.

It's hard to fight, if we have a lot of money to use the services of experienced and qualified legal experts, we are maybe still lose. let say someone finding a cheating indication and user trying to accuse this issue as fraud in slots, if provider is still having evidence that other users win, then the provider is considered to be running its business fairly. Findings of fraud or indications of scams against several accounts will be considered commonplace, considering that gambling service owners have more resources to win cases.

What we can do as users is to warn other users to avoid a service that has the potential to be a scam or fraud. This is probably the best way to stop their existence slowly.

As far as I have played gambling for many years, I have never sued legally because it will be more complicated, even if we hire a legal expert they will be more than us from all the readiness about the legal actions.

To sue a cheating casino needs concrete evidence, it takes time and where do we sue, then if the casino goes to Europe and we are in Asia where to leave then we have to go there, in addition to many other rules for filing this trial, which is clear you will lose a lot of money for operations during this suing trip.

Many problems of suing on the forum and that they never sue legally, that's what I know.

I believe that the prospects of such a lawsuit are very doubtful for the plaintiff, especially if he is an ordinary gambler who does not have a large amount of money. What other ways, besides expensive litigation, can protect the rights of gamblers?

From this point of view, a license becomes important in those jurisdictions where a complaint from victims to the licensing authority can trigger proceedings and really damage the casino if the revocation of the license threatens the casino with a ban on the operation. This is relevant for local real casinos.

Unfortunately, among online casinos, a license (especially offshore) is no longer a reliable factor in protecting the interests of customers. In this case, the reputation of the casino becomes more important. After all, a casino's good reputation not only attracts customers to it, but also protects their interests to some extent, since it is almost impossible to restore a damaged reputation.

I’m sure it’s not worth it, and I’d never try it as I can’t afford to. Unless the potential winnings are in the millions, I wouldn’t even consider going down that path. You know how expensive lawyers are these days? Just the acceptance fee alone is already a huge cost. So if the win is only $1k or even $2k, I’d probably just let it go. Instead, I’d focus on warning others about how shady the casino I’m using really is.

I have never been this far into having problems at the casino, maybe occasionally complaining is because I am quite annoyed with the game that has been played for more than 1 week but it seems like there is never any development. The point is there is no rhythm of the balance increasing from the first minute of playing until it is finished, there is no victory whatsoever that provides benefits above the balance that is bet. As a result, I complain in the support chat just to vent my frustration and after that it is over. And finally I realized that gambling is still gambling where we have to be ready to lose even though it hurts.

It's quicker and free to just post in the community about what the casino did to you. If it's truly a scam operation, you'll quickly see many negative comments exposing their bad reputation. However, the worst-case scenario is that even if their reputation gets destroyed, you probably won't get your money back. When too many players get scammed, they would need to settle all claims to restore their image.

I think this happened to one of the casinos discussed in the forum. They tried to come back and address the scam accusations, but with so many complaints , some possibly exaggerated - and their reputation already ruined, they couldn't regain any sympathy from the community.

No, I haven't go to the lengths of actually suing a casino because I haven't been scammed. Perhaps those who might have lost a big amount of money, let's say $100k or more might have gone to sue them, but not sure what could be the outcome.

And with online nowadays, there could be the question of jurisdictions as well. So there will be a lot to go thru if you ever pursue cases and I haven't heard anyone win their case against casinos.

There is also a good read here: What Ever Happened To Katrina Bookman: The Woman Who Was Denied Her $43 Million Casino Slot Machine Win? (https://www.casino.org/blog/katrina-bookman/)

Online casino it's hard, but for a landbase casino still can be possible cause there has some regulation and some organization are monitoring the casino activity. Example like (Landbase Casino - Vegas), there has some Gaming Board who are also in charge to handle some regulation and a disputed between user & casino. Player can also sue the casino in court too, but online casino is kinda hard cause mostly the organization who charge making the license never taking any action at all.

Technically, if a casino is regulated and within the legal framework (illegal casinos don't fall under this category), then such a casino can be sued.

I suspect that many do this because their conscience is not entirely clear (there are some violations of the casino rules) and, not hoping to win in court against the casino (because of these violations), they try to justify themselves (blaming the casino) before the community (to get moral satisfaction that the casino is to blame).

In this case, I believe, there is nothing else to do, since if the gambler had a chance (had not violated the casino rules), he would have gone to court.

I suspect that winning a lawsuit against a casino will be a difficult matter due to the casino's greater resources (and highly qualified professional lawyers).

Never happen to me and I think its just a waste of time especially if the amount compromise is just small figures. Also can't afford the stress and to pay attorney that's why I usually pass it on if there's bad incident happened to me.

This is the reason why there are lots of scam casino have guts to scam people even if they are license its because they know that majority of people will not bother to sue them.

But I urge people to do legal action if there's huge money involve so that those scam casinos will be eliminated and they pay on the trouble they cause to people.

I think it will depend on the damage that was done. If a gambler lost an amount that can truly change his financial life, then he must go and sue the online casino if they really did him wrong.

First, we must weigh the amount of loss plus the expenses of suing them. If it's not worth the amount, then I bet a gambler would not even think about suing them because it will just add more expenses to them. Luckily, I have not been in a position where I think I was scammed. Stake.com has a good reputation with their gambling platform, and thankfully, I have not been in a position where I think I was cheated or whatever trick there is.

You should carefully evaluate whether it's worth pursuing legal action. When you file a case against a casino, there's no guarantee of winning, especially when you're up against operators with deep pockets who can afford top-tier lawyers. Many casinos likely engage in random scams precisely because they know their legal agreements are bulletproof if challenged in court.

As gamblers, our best protection is to avoid questionable casinos altogether. Stick to well-established operators with strong reputations to prevent these situations from happening in the first place.

I have never had any problems with the casinos I have used so far. In fact, if it ever happens, I don't want to bother spending a lot of money and wasting time just to find a defense. The reason is quite simple, that I never bet big amounts and it is impossible to have big wins. And if it happens to me, I will only tell my closest friends if the casino has ever cheated me and will not make a public post that only wastes time.

I'm sure there have been legal cases in this forum. They just don't publicize the issue to protect their own reputation.

Even illegal casinos can technically be sued since they're operating unlawfully. The real challenge is that we often don't know who actually runs them, these operations are unregistered and hide their ownership. This makes it extremely difficult to successfully file and win a case against them.

Well, let me just say that it depends on the type of case I have with the casino, usually I don't gamble with a huge sum of money, so if by any reason, I get into conflicts with the casino, and I know I am not at fault but the forum members seem to not be in my support, the type of case will determine if I will just let it go, or if I will seek a legal way of having the issue resolved, this i will mentioned below..

1. If the case I have with the casino is just a minor case where I simply stand a chance of losing a tiny amount of money and possibly my account, I did let the casino win if forum isn't in my support.

2. But in a case where I won a huge amount of money like running into tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the casino refuse to pay me this money while accusing of me cheating whereas I am very very sure I did not cheat, and the forum users refuse to support me in getting the case resolved, I will definitely seek a legal means of resolving the issue, even if I don't have the money to, I will borrow and sue the casino to court.

That is an interesting topic to discuss. I dont remember much or any cases where gambler manages to win casino in court. Casinos always manage to find ways to prove that they are right or acted correctly. All this raises thoughts, that casino can do whatever they want, even cheat and be unpunished for that. With number of claims and accusations, that scares. How many cases from scam accusation are left unsettled?

This question relates to the discussion I was having with a neighbor who was scammed by an internet service provider in my country. He subscribed to a data plan and was not given the right package. We were more concerned about the cost of litigation since the customer protection agency in my country is not effective

Suing a casino will depend mainly on the amount that is involved. If the casino wrongly deprives me of a legitimate win that is huge, I might consider taking legal action. If I am sure that the money involved would be enough to cover the legal battle, I will sue. But I have not sued any gambling platform since I have not been scammed.

I don't know about you but I definitely have heard or read about several cases where players managed to win their case against casino in court.
Maybe it usually is not easy, and like most court cases, may take a very long time which simply means that you the player will be spending money on the case anytime there is a court holding, atleast until the judge gives a verdict.

This is the only downside and maybe plus a few others I may not be aware of, but speaking of winning, gamblers do win and have won several court cases against casinos even here in my country.

And speaking of cases that are left unsettled or unresolved in the scam and accusation board, I would say very few actually, and it usually ones that involves casinos that are or were already known to be scam, atleast most of the time.

It cannot be a fixed fact that gamblers will always loose to a casino. I think the gamblers who have lost the most when they have had an issue with a casino in a law court, have not had substantial evidence and enough financial backing to follow up the case. If a gambler has a good case against a casino, and then also have substantial evidence and money to get good lawyers and pursue the case, the chance of them winning has increased unless it is a corrupt justice system.

Personally I haven't been involved in this kind of thing before meaning that I have not sued any casino at anytime, though I will also agree that that one can consider taking legal action against any casino thats found wanting in this kind of behavior based on the amount involved, if I could consider doing this, if they eventually do this to me,  I will have to weigh options that are likely suitable for me, I will also have to consider the possibility of winning such case before I think of getting a lawyer so that it won't be a trial in futility for me, just as we all know, the economy is affecting everyone presently so getting a good and a reliable lawyer now is not an easy thing, so I may even decide to let everything slide and may be try other casinos if possible.

Depending on where a casino got their license and your own jurisdiction, you can surely sue a casino if they violated any terms that bind their license, or if they go against any of their own terms of service. However, do you have the funds to sustain a legal battle with a casino? You know they have a huge bag of funds and yours will run out very quickly, while what they will spend will simply be pocket change, i believe this is why people don't go down that route.

I'd always pick the second choice because I don't see the point of going that far as i'm just a casual gambler who spends small amounts on casinos

If I had the opportunity and resources to fight back, i'd always take it, but in my current situation, there's no reason to go that deep against them unless the stakes are higher where it's a make or break for both sides.

I never had any problem with casino where it takes me contemplating if to sue them or let it go. If i should take for instance, you need to weigh your action, just your evidence alone will not be sufficient to call to order, there needs to be several cases of such and where will you get information from. The casino is large, financially and other wise most especially if they are in a category of popular well acknowledged casinos all over, it will be hard to win the case, fighting for your right is good, but know what happens when you lose the case after spending much in the process.

Every time I have gambled so far, I have always spent small funds and at the same time I have lost most of the time. However, most of the casinos I have played in are reputable and some are newly coming casinos, but I have not been a victim of a scam, so I have not needed to do anything.

But what you are saying is not possible for many people because we do not all live in the same situation everywhere in the world. Since gambling is currently banned in my country, we don't have any gambling site which was regulated by our government, so even if I wanted to, I would never be able to legally fight with a casino and not just me but all the gamblers in my country are in the same situation.
So gamblers like us have no choice but to go to communities and ask for help, and that's why most of the time gamblers are seen making scam accusations in communities first.

Yes, there was one story of a either a man or a woman, I can't remember the gender that sued the casino when they won the jackpot but the casino refused to give them their winnings because they claimed that their slot machine was faulty at that time. She took them to court and lost. She lost because the court ruled that the casino can cancel a person's winning if they won while the machine was faulty. In short it is difficult to win.

Well, it depends on how much money i was scammed out of, and of course, i would need to have clear evidence of the fraud or damage. I would initiate legal action even if the chances were very low, hope dies last. But honestly, i know people who went through similar situations without solid proof, and like you mentioned, it was just “let go.”

I know that there were few such situations in my country. And at least two times the gambler won the process and got all the sum. I don`t sure but as i remember it was about $50.000 and $200.000.
As for me - my bets are small enough and i have to create fake accounts in the part of casinos after bet limits, so i just let it go - no chances to win, small sums, i break their rules too.
I always angry after such moments, i can even write some big letter to support but that`s all.

You have a point on the expenses and letting it go but the reason for going to court is actually to speak about injustice melted on and to set precedence on it and by chance if you win then you would have safed others from the mess. Of course before you look at going to court, it has to be a very substantial amount of money so that the lawyers and court will be moved to take it up, otherwise they may throw it out.

I have not experienced that before but my challenge on people who intend to do that is the distance where they are and where the casino is based plus the location of the court. I'm not sure there is online court.

It depends on what your reason is for suing the casino. There are a lot of possible reasons especially if it is a physical casino but since we are here in the forum let us talk about online casinos specifically. If the casino refuses to pay you, that's grounds to suing them but how much money are they holding back? If it is just $5, will it be worth the stress and expense? I do not think so. But if the casino violates your privacy and mishandles your information, I'd say you should fight for it. Most likely you will get money from that.
Just recently someone has filed a lawsuit against Sweepsteaks Limited which a company that owns Stake.us.

The lawsuit was remanded and escalated from state court to federal court. The case centers around Stake’s social casino and sweepstakes product. Boyle alleges that the company provides real-money online wagering under the guise of free gaming. It also alleges that Stake’s play-through requirement, tied to Stake Cash, constitutes unfair business practices. Stake’s welcome bonuses and promotional giveaways are subject to a 300% playthrough wagering requirement before any winnings can be redeemed. (https://casinobeats.com/2025/04/02/stake-faces-lawsuit-in-california-over-alleged-illegal-online-gambling/)

The one who filed the lawsuit also has a case against another casino that is operating without license. So, the answer is yes. Some people do in fact proceed with the lawsuits.

Demands, have never been because I haven't reached the physical and online casino.

Take legal action, I think it depends on which country and licenses in which country, as far as I know every online gambling site that is official and registered in a license if you have a problem, you can sue legally legitimate.

Try reading this: 7 countries with quickest online gambling license acquisition process (https://satchel.eu/blog/top-7-countries-for-betting-license-acquisition/)

In these rules the legal requirements are different in each country, but if you are in a legal gambling country I think you can demand but if you are in a forbidden country, it might be rather difficult for legal proceedings, I think so.

Or: Can a casino legally demand that someone pay money outside of the casino? (https://www.quora.com/Can-a-casino-legally-demand-that-someone-pay-money-outside-of-the-casino)

Is this in a land-based casino so the slot machine is broken? Because what I know is that the slot machine system in online casinos rarely goes wrong, but the provider will be sued if there is a mistake, not the casino.

Damn if the casino is not able to pay players with millions of dollars in winnings then the casino does not have good credibility which means it could be a bad reputation just wanting profit but when there is a large amount of winnings it is not able to.

If I have to fight back it will depend heavily on the amount I won, if it's big enough then I can risk it because at the end of the day you will end up spending extra money yourself, it is going to be expensive.

And since I don't risk a lot when gambling I doubt that I will ever find myself in such situation and also I avoid bad online casinos at all cost, if its not good enough or there are rumours of bad services I won't use the casino.

Precaution is better than cure, avoid any thing that can end up staining your white cloth, stay clean as much as possible, and make sure you only use online casinos that cares about their reputation than anything.

I reckon it almost always depends on the amount? I reckon why most accusations you see don't really go to court because the amount they'd spend on lawyers and hearings would probably exceed the amount they're complaining about. And most importantly, ranting on forums is free! And besides, if their issue gets enough traction it can lead to a rep damage which most casinos aren't willing to have under their name. Most of the time, anyway.

I reckon there's more instances of cases actually happening when it's brick and mortar casinos than physical ones. Those usually have clearcut usecases anyway on what laws they need to depend on so a lot easier to actually think if there's a case or not.

It's obvious that the Gambling site would win the case...they have more money than anyone that's going to sue them...This action is totally unnecessary if you ask me especially if you are a common man going after them, the only category of people that might stand a chance against them are people who are millionaires in dollars, these type of people have the type of lawyers that the average man cannot employ..There are cases that you just have to let go of, some people are not patient enough to wait for the casinos solution after making a complain about a problem, they go straight to filing a law suit which doesn't work.

Personally, if there is no harm in trying, then I would definitely exercise my right even if the odds may be against me. Assuming that the evidence that I have overwhelms the alibi that the gambling establishment may bring, then I will definitely bring it to court and exhaust all means in order to win that case.

The problem with gambling establishments is that they are tyrants when it comes to capital and expenses. They can afford spending payments for legal fees because they can afford it to do so. At most, I would accept if they would offer some sort of settlement depending on my claim.


Like what I mentioned above, this depends on the evidence that I have against the casino. Normally, casinos can raise the defense of stipulation under the contract (or ToS) in order to defeat my claim. But if they did something in order to avoid paying of rewards, bonuses, jackpots, or other payments due to some "technicality" then I would definitely bring it to court and file the necessary action for recovery.

I have not had any bad experience with any of the casinos I have used before that would lead to suing them and I don't even pray to have such experience, if I would had such issues it should have been when I was deeply into gambling and not now that I have limited the way I gamble. I only gamble occasionally these days and every experience is smooth.

It’s not only the amount that should be considered - let’s say you were scammed thousands of dollars by a casino and the representative or those behind the casino are not known I don’t think there’s anything that you can do about it; because if you should sue them and they refused to show up to court there’s no way for them to be punished.

So I think, the nature of the casino should also be considered when it comes to legal issues. Except it’s a prerequisite for the person behind a casino to be known before it can be licensed since we’re talking about only regulated casinos here but if it’s not a requirement then I think we should also consider this.

The process of taking legal action against a casino is one that can only be possible If the casino itself is a land base  physical casino, as the chance of having success in it is high, compared if the casino is an online casino, most especially if it is a globe casino and has no distinctive presence in your geographical location. Because taking an online casino to court most times could be a total waste of time, since you can easily report such cases to our forum and have it resolved amicably, inasmuch as you didn't violate the casinos terms and conditions. Because unless a casino is a scam casino that will just confiscate your fund without violating any rules, a genuine casino will always state whatever offense you have done.

Thats true, if were talking about 3 or 4 figures in $ that a casino tricked their users. I dont think suing them would go anywhere success unless you are prepared to fight it with money until the end cause the law suits are always longer than what we think of and before it ends we run out of money, plus the negotiation under the table to prolong it will be beneficial to those who have larger deep pockets.

It really depends on many factors. If the amount is so huge and I believe I have a good case to win the lawsuit, and I have the means to do it, then it's worth proceeding to challenge the casino to prove that players can sue them and make them pay for the gamblers' losses.
I have not experienced suing a casino because so far all the casinos I've played at are all good and I have not broken their terms, and I don't think I can sue them because I don't have the means.

I have heard cases where people sue gambling sites but they never lose a case. Gambling sites that are legit will always fix the problems that you have, sometimes it's just going to take some time for them to work on it. Fake sites on the other hand with no integrity are the ones known for scamming people, and I don't think anyone has ever pressed charges against a fake gambling site or company. Only the legit sites are been sued and we all know that it's not possible for the individual to win the case

big companies will have access to the best lawyers and could even manipulate the judge’s decision it might sound unfortunate but it’s real that it happens
the government itself will be the one to crack on these fake websites so no need for an individual to press charges because surely the government will have a case against them but they will just need the victims to testify

I have read about such cases, and there have been a few threads about it here. This is one of the more recent ones I have followed...

"FORTUNEJACK.COM | Ongoing lawsuit, 120k usd stolen | Shady practices": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5449674.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5449674.0)[/quote]

We often have to ask ourselves if something is true or not. Sometimes, it's really hard to prove some things... in many ways we all take risks every day.

As for the topic, I believe it's all about the money... some small amounts of money aren't worth fighting for. If it's a big amount of money, everyone will try to collect it. And whether that's possible is a very complicated question... we don't all live in beautiful countries where there is the rule of law.

As a regular gambler I will just let it go because my whole bankroll is not even enough to hire an international lawyer that will represent me to fight the casino. It’s not really worth it to fight them legally that’s why you should only play on trusted and reputable casino to diminish the risk of encountering problem.

I remember some user here claimed they are filing legal charges on a casino IIRC @paperwallet do this on Fortunejack but until now there’s no clear result on the legal battle he is fighting.

It’s just a waste of money and time.

I read some thread about people suing a casino but I never seen the end of it.  If this kind of things happen to me, I have to weigh if the money at stake is worth the effort to sue the casino.  If the money is life changing then I would choose the option 1, bring the case to court and proceed with legal procedures.  But if the money is ignorable or the cost of bringing the case to court is way more than the money gain then I just let it go.

As much as possible I do not want to bring any cases to court since it will take a lot of time. efforts and money.  It is better to have an agreement and reconcile, if both parties agree then lots of effort and money will be saved.

What forum do you mean, the bitcointalk forum or the casino community?

In any way it may be coming from, If I was to feel cheated by the casino, I will surely make some move because sometimes, these firms may tend to siphon your money unjustly if they find you vulnerable to be manipulated. But once you make move that will lead to community questionable awarenesses, then they (casino) will have to readjust the case and call for resolution after considering the disreputable predicaments the incident may cause them when the issue is escalated which in some cases, they would not want the community to hear it.

So since I see no harm in fighting the justifications, I will give it a try fighting out my right but must be legal means so that I don't get myself vulnerable in other means of illegal accusations.

Is there anything worse than going broke at the casino? It's witnessing the illusion of fairness fade as you try to speak up and nobody pays attention. The table is just the beginning of the betrayal. It spreads over the forums, the neighborhoods, the quiet areas where you hoped someone would really say, "Yeah, that wasn't right."

And when you exhausted  the post, the thread, the screenshots, the timestamped chats, you begin to see this is not only about you. It's all about the underlying framework. Regulated? Sure. But regulated by whom? For whom? It's the same regulator that, more usually than not silently supports the house. They are not exactly cheering for the man from his apartment on Tuesday night playing 2/5 NL.

When you face legal action, it's not simply about money. It's time. Effort. Reputation. Having to prove you're not insane in a world when terms and conditions are designed to silence your voice causes emotional tiredness. Most people let it go. Not because they're weak but rather because they understand: the casino owns not only the table.

He meant forums like Bitcointalk, Reddit and many more that has a thread dedicated for casino discussions.


On this specific case, I believe OP is pertaining about cases which casino has the authority to give verdict without further explanation which is indicated on the ToS no matter how unfair the rules.

This is the case that is very hard to defend that even the community will not support you if it’s written on the ToS.

I think it depends on what the case is that  will determine if the gambling site will win. If a gambling site goes against breaching of contract whereby they have refused to pay a gambler money that was won, I don't think this will be a case that a gambling site can escape from because action like this, it means such gambling site can't be trusted and it is not safe for gamblers to have anything to do with a gambling site like this.

Really, the extent to which you can go depends on the legal standing of gambling in your country and the reputation of the casino in question.

If gambling is legal and regulated in your country, to some extent, you as a gambler have a voice. I have seen cases where a casino was forced to settle with a gambler after being called out on social media. The authorities were compelled to make the casino do the needful after much public pressure. No one would really care if gambling wasn't legal in that country, he would just have to let things go.

Also, if you take the risk of using an unregulated casino or some random casino with a sketchy reputation, you might not get the justice you deserve if they turn out to be scammers who cannot be traced.

As a gambler, just do well to stay out of trouble. Read the casino’s terms of service, check reviews, and don't try to cheat the system. Because the casinos usually win the most when disputes arise between the casinos and the gamblers.

The good thing about regulation in certain sectors is that, in addition to obligations, you can have rights. In the event of any irregularity, the user will have someone to turn to. That's why I prefer licensed casinos. Most of the ones I use are registered here in my country. I've never had to sue any, but if I do, I won't think twice about doing so.

If the same case happens, then the first thing that comes to mind is what the wise say to do about it. Whether to file a case against them or just keep your mouth shut and let it go. In my view, the better solution is to file a case, but do this only when you have strong evidence because your evidence will support your words. In a situation where you know they will support the casino, it is very important to have some evidence before filing a case against it. The other solution is to let it go if you do not want to lose your money on lawyers and other expenses. However, if you let the casino go without taking any action, then they will do the same to others. This means you are also responsible if they can do the same to others. So my choice would be to file a case against them.

I have never sued a casino before and I hope that I never get a reason to because I think that it won't be easy to win them. Casinos are richer than many of us and if you have a case against them I'm sure that they'll be well positioned to defend themselves with good lawyers. If a gambler has a good case to sue a casino but the amount in question is not significant, the best thing to do is report them in gambling communities instead of going to court. But when the amount involved is very significant and you know that you have a strong case against them l, then it's ok to pursue the case legally in court.

If I were the gambler in this situation, I would prefer to fight the casino legally if I strongly believed it had cheated me, but this could only be done if I had tangible evidence to back up the claim. This is why it is always important to be sure about the casino we want to use as a gambler. We must be sure it is a genuine and fair casino gambling platform.

It’s true if you are playing to local casino since regulator is active on dealing with issue against casino.

However, it’s very hard to file a case against online casino with Curacao license since they are so slow to process complaints and most of the time you still need to file case directly to the casino that will cost money.

Licensed provider in online casino is still not that reliable when it comes to casino disputes that’s why 3rd party arbitration website such as Casinoguru is more popular and helpful because they can deal with casino dispute quickly compared to filing it to the license provider.

No, I've not. But I think we need to take into consideration the amount won. If it's a life changing amount of money, then one would be motivated to sue the casino but if it's a small amount, then one should let go. A similar incident happened to a friend few months ago. He played in a local gambling shop and won the bet but it was recorded as lost. He reached out to their support and after waiting for weeks, there was no response so he moved on. I believe if it was a significant amount of money he'd have followed it up even if it means borrowing to sue the betting platform.

Just because they have Curacao, Anjouan and any other unknown countries licenses, it doesn't mean they're regulated.

If you sue them, I don't think you will win because there are many factors which could make you go wrong. First, the casinos do allow many countries to gamble, let's say United States, but United states stated it's forbidden to gamble. But, the casinos have another rule where they said the gambler must know whether gambling is allowed or not in their countries. Second, most countries consider casinos who don't have official license of their countries are illegal.

It's like you're wrong in the first place, but you're asking your government to help you? ???

I have never done anything wrong or contrary to the gambling site where I would have to face difficulties in either withdrawing or depositing my funds. Usually when I began to senses foul movements or play in gambling site I easily get them abandoned before it would result to stories that touches, that is why to me before I used any gambling sites I first passed their verification process and make sure I wouldn't have anything tagged on, then I don't also used public network neither do I also share my network with anyone. All these made me to be very mindful on the casino I uses to gamble to avoid any further issues that may arise sooner or later. So, have never sued any gambling site.

2- Just let it go

Then you would be saving up yourself on lot of trouble but if we are talking something significant when it comes into the amount then that would be something that could be debatable or something that you can fight on, but since this will be costly and knowing that you are fighting a casino then you should be that preparing your purse or pocket with that since this wont be coming a cheap case. If you do able to make out some balancing on regarding on that pending winnings and on the expenses you might be able to make use with then its better to be wise on not to pursue at all.

Sometimes our being short tempered and ego is being touched and thats why we do made out some actions on which it turned out to be that not ideal at all. So it will be that still up to you whether you can be able to handle those expenses and fight for your right or just that simply move on and go away from potential more trouble?

I've never sued a casino and can't really think of any reason why I would ever do so.  Maybe if I won a ton of money 100% legitimately and I was KYC'd and the company refused my withdrawal or maybe if I was robbed by an employee of the casino.  I feel like a lot of people who fall into a situation where they feel the need to sue a casino are probably at fault though.  Most likely either not KYC'd accounts, or they're gambling from a banned country, etc... 

At some point one may decide to fight not necessarily because of the winning amount but to prove that they are the one at right while the casino is at fault but however, while there are those that can let go of the case there are those that will not let go and that's individual differences which of course certain considering will be made in terms of financial preparedness, but in the situation where we know that we can not fight them the only best option is to conform with whatever they said and save your head, for me I would love to fight if I have the the financial ability even if I lose at last it doesn't matter.

In the end, I believe most of the things we have seem around here and concerning casinos have stayed just at people ranting on their misfortunes and they do not further pursue legal actions against the casino at all, because the money they would need to sue the casino is much more than what they have lost to it in the first place.
Though, I don't have doubts there have been some few cases in which casinos had to concede and give money back to one of their gamblers, but those cases for not start with someone ranting on a forum like this one, we rarely heard of those to begin with, those who have the power and the money to sue a casino would not lose their time sharing their experience on here, but rather calling their lawyers directly and move onto suing.

It's a waste of time and money to sue a casino, why would you take the risk of spending more than the amount you are fighting to get back, that's even more riskier than an actual bet. There's no way to fight a casino either legally or illegally except if you are someone occupying a position of power or influence. It's better to just let it go because casinos have more influence and most of them are owned by politicians and some influential people.

I have seen some threads in the scam section but there are no updates on how they proceeded or the results.
Casinos have a lot of means to win the case; they have a lot of money to prolong the case, and most of the time they have it in their terms on where you can file a dispute, so the distance is a big factor.
I believe it's a forum talk; the best way to proceed is to ruin their business by filing scam reports on as many platforms as you can find.
If you have a strong case and you have all the evidence to prove you are right and the casino is wrong, you can ruin the trust of the casino, which will lead to losses on their part.

Yeah, I later posted about it on my second post on this thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5537968.msg65269915#msg65269915

There are cases that the gambler would win but casinos are the ones winning more. That is what I mean. That it will not be easy to pay your lawyer, sued a gambling site and still lose the case.

There are some case stories of gamblers winning court cases against some casinos. There are a few of such stories on the Internet but I just added this one: 5 Gamblers Who Won Casino Lawsuits (https://greatbridgelinks.com/5-gamblers-who-won-casino-lawsuits/). It might be difficult to win such cases but if you have a good legal team and adequate financial support,  you can win a case if you have valid evidence.

We are talking about online crypto casinos, where have you seen they are mostly owned by politicians and influential people please? Could you name some of them here? You really think the one you are currently advertising for example is own by someone belonging to this category? I think it's the opposite actually, most crypto casinos are owned by unknown and discreet people. You should not confuse them with influencers and stars who promote them.

I cant sue a casino and don't think i will ever do that, i have some of these as my reasons why i cant sue them as a gambler.

1. Am gambling with an understanding that i either win or lose
2. Am not gambling for the purpose of making money, instead to have fun
3. I gamble with the money i can afford to lose and that same remains on my wallet and nothing more than i could afford to lose.
4. I don't have the time to waste in suing a casino, i may just be missing out on doing other important things in life while wasting time fighting them.

Who still thinks of suing casinos these days? There ain’t much gamblers who does that, and even if I’m cheated or scammed by a casino, the last thing I’ll think of doing is going to sue he casino. Rather suing the casino, I’ll put more of that energy into making sure I ruin their reputation and make sure people know them for who they are, I believe successfully messing up their image, brand and reputation would be more satisfying that embarking on a quest I’m not sure of winning.   :D :D

I haven't done anything like this and I don't think that I'll get to this point that I'll sue a casino. I don't think that any amount that's left on my balance is worth it for the process because it's costly. Maybe some did this before and those with millions as we can see some might be genuine concerns that have millions in their remaining balance that hasn't given yet and that's what they are fighting for. But for some few hundreds to thousands, it's going to cost me a lot of money for that suing and the casino will easily win in the end.

Sued a casino?

I don't even think it is possible to use an online casino which is where most of the complaints come from. How is that even possible to do, where will the court judges hold? Will it be in the country where their gambling licence is issued or in the home country of the complaint?

For me, if I get scammed by a casino, I move on. And accept what happened.

I have not had any issue that will lead to me suing any casino. The question is how much is involved and how much am I going to pay my lawyer and all the suing expenses?

I have not personally had any big issue with a casino that even resulted in me calling them out in the forum; talk more about suing them. I have already read about stories where a gambler who is unsatisfied with the casino takes them to court, and in some cases they will eventually win.

The case of those two brothers against bet9ja is still in court they later sued the casino over denials to pay off their winnings, I think that was the only court case against a casino that I have heard or seen all the entire time, and even at that, those guys have not been able to get justice from the legal fight the betting site have not paid them they winnings up till now.

One of the reasons why most people don't adopt that approach of legal means to pursue their case with betting sites is because at some point it is hard to battle with them since some of them are not registered in the country.

I see a lot of scam accusation threads and then when the issue isn’t resolved, I read that they’ll file a case but after that, there are no more updates about it. I don’t know if the filing actually pushed through or if they just let it go.

If something like that happens to me whatever the situation is, especially if they really won’t let me withdraw I won’t bother filing any case. It might just be a waste of time, especially if the case ends up getting dismissed or disregarded. Unless, of course we’re talking about a million dollar issue. I guess it is worth a try to push.

I almost laughed so hard but remembered how sensitive this post might be however, considering that casinos most times behave in a cunny manner all because they want to protect their funds and profit.

I find it most stressful to even consider sueing a casino for misappropriation because there are so many other casinos with better offers and the cost of joining upon registration is way cheaper than the cost of paying a defendant lawyer on a case that may be adjourned for long.

I see no reason to sue a casino as long as you play in really reputable ones. We have said a thousand times here that before joining a casino being it new or old it is always wise to check the Gambling section and check their ANN page with the feedback of everyone there and if the feedback is 100% positive and you still feel the need to sue the casino most probably you have done something wrong while if you play in a new casino or old one who has no positive feedback then you are on your own as you choose to go there and register not taking into consideration the user opinions here which is for me are a pillar before making the decision to join or not a new casino. So far I have not sued any casino simply because I have always played where everything was positive in feedback and as such no big problems happened.

I reckon they just let it go, if you lost a few hundreds of dollars to a casino and you are left with the option of either suing or forfeiting the money, you may have to go with the option of forfeiting, due to the cost of litigation. However, if we are talking of tens of thousands of dollars or money running into millions, then it may be just fine to give it a shot, at least that is how i see it.

Maybe those that have kept silent have their issues solved privately and that's why they no longer update about it.

The amount of unsettled money is a big issue. We're on the same page, if the casino won't allow us to withdraw that amount, if ever we're lucky and win big as a million, we won't stop for sure.

But just as you've said, when the amount isn't a lot and just good enough to let go, we won't spend our resources and energy for that for not bothering.

Let's say you won £2m and the casino refuses to pay you. And you are sure that you didn't disobey any of the terms of service. Now some lawyers decided to fund the litigation for a percentage of the win. With this opportunity,  won't you consider suing the casino?  

Some of them might have been advised by lawyers to forfeit the money especially if they have analysed the case and seen the complexity or some key obstacles. Some casinos are not registered in a particular jurisdiction, so suing will be very expensive and complex.

I believe it is normal that we do not end up knowing the final outcome or result of those accusations because when someone legally sues any entity, lawyers tell their clients it is improper to talk about the case in public or to go to social media or forums to give information about the case. There could be people who successfully managed to sue a casino and got away with it and simply did not feel to talk about it here on the forum, since it would have gotten irrelevant to talk about their experience through the lawsuit.

On the other hand, those who had let go and gave up on their money which was allegedly scammed by a casino obviously will not feel like talking about their defeat with anyone and prefer to disappear from the forum, abandoning the thread they originally opened.

Regardless of the case, the ideal case is never to venture into casinos which would be capable of scamming their gamblers in the first place.

Why not let it go if you dont know a court and a lawyer that can win the case for you. Another thing is expenses, every gambler platform has money to sue anyone, they can bribe their way out with huge sum of money. And after a few days they will get the money back because they have a platform that is printing the money on a daily basis. I will not advise anyone to sue a casino especially if the issue is not worth it.

There must be a good reason for suing a casino maybe they copyright in their advertising or something else related to privacy.

Sueing casino site for their refusal to pay your won ticket will require a very severe support from bigger players to back you up if they truly discover that you are in the right track, there are people out there that can even go as far as buying the case from you by negotiating with you the percentage to be shared if the case favours them, these bigger players won't even mind the money spending on lawyers for their professional fees and transport on every court day.

Such thing can happen, no matter the terms and conditions of a casino rule of play, nothing can stop them from winning the case, so something similar can happen if the winner cannot further the case but through another bigger player.

It's because gamblers think that they have a case against this casinos. And we have every right to do that, however, our chances are very slim. I haven't heard anyone successfully suing a casino and winning it. And assuming you win, perhaps in the end it is not worth it as you are going to spend big amounts of money, hiring lawyers and other expenses.

That's why the majority might drop their cases, maybe the best thing for them is to have like go to a  third party or have a scam accusations in them to go and get some audience but that's it.

People can go through legal actions to sue a casino but they can't succeed with it. Most of these gambling sites are backed up by a lot of tycoons and prominent people that might decide to be anonymous for reasons best known to them. There are some fights you cannot win , the best thing to do is to just let it go. Like you said fighting back is expensive and after doing that it might still be in favour of the gambling sites.

Secondly before a gambler will think of to sue any gambling site first you need to make sure that you have all the right, I mean the fault is not coming from your own side. Because most gamblers can just decide to sue a gambling site when he don't even have the right, and sometimes it can be that the fault is from the side of the gambler at this point they will be left with no evidence. Which is why the gambling site always win .

If everyone is suddenly against you, then there must be something wrong with the situation about you. They don't have anything to gain by or lose if they acquit the casinos in your favor and the other way round.
This is also one of the disadvantages of having digital casino sites as your first choice whenever you wanna gamble.

If letting go is part of the options that you have, what then are you fighting for? It's way easier to let go and avoid getting yourself into situations like that, but of course this is only advisable if, just like you said, the expenses and the odds of legally fighting the case is both expensive and against you.
 Why do I need to fight a war that will later revolt against me? You could be made to face some jail time for trying to manipulate the jury against the casino.

From this topic "Do you know your rights as a gambler? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5535631.msg65182302#msg65182302), I have learned that when a gambler has this kind of issue with a casino that is licenced in the country where the gambler is based, the gambler doesn't need to pay so much money to hire a lawyer to sue the casino that has bridge their consumers right but rather what the gambler needs to do is to report the casino to the authority that is in charge of gambling regulations or the consumer rights authority that is responsible for handling gambling issues that violates users right.

This path is actually tedious and time-consuming. And you have no assurance if you will indeed get the results that you want. Besides, ask yourself if you are ready to shell out money from your pocket? Expect a long battle from this because the decision won't come fast. This is why most gamblers will only end up ranting over social media or their thread, as going to the path of suing is not worth your time, money and other resources. Very rare even here in the forum that you can actually read suing a casino. Actually, haven't encountered one yet. The more common approach is to post in the scam accusations board and asking for assistance from reputable members who can assist them in resolving the problem.

I haven't sued a casino, but I remember a thread here in the forum talking about a case in Nigeria (I think) where the gambler sued a casino(I think) for not paying his winnings. I am not sure what the result of that case was since when it was posted, the case was still ongoing. Anyway, so it isn't just "forum talk" since there are people who actually sue casinos if they can.

If there is ever someone who's going to buy the case, pay me a portion of it upfront. I'll take the money and I'll let them handle the headache.

That's a good idea if there are people or organizations that does that. They pay the part of yours upfront and then you'll also be getting some afterwards if ever they win the case.

But for me, that's a win-win so I don't have to deal anymore with more troubles.

Not everyone will do that, including maybe me because in this case not all countries legalize gambling, there are even some countries that prohibit gambling even though gambling still exists in those countries (including in my country).

If in the end there is an indication of fraud, it will only be left alone because reporting it to the legal route is the same as committing suicide because we have done something that has been violated in my country so it would be ridiculous to argue about something illegal because we ourselves will get the next problem because it clashes with regulations.
On the other hand, for now it is important for us to choose the site correctly and with good trust because after all the fraudulent situation only occurs for fake sites actually and it will not happen to big sites, especially for now we even always see people who feel cheated just because they have lost in gambling with big and consider it a trick but they do not realize their mistake by continuing to gamble without knowing the time and condition of themselves.

It's too expensive to sue a casino, because they are usually registered in foreigner tiny countries (Cyprus, Malta...), known for having lax regulations for gambling companies and low taxes for such businesses to operate.

If you decided to sue the casino, you would probably need a lawyer on that jurisdiction to represent you against the company. Now imagine you were scammed on some hundreds of dollars by an online casino. The costs involved on the suing proces would price much more.

On the other hand, if the company is registered in your country, I guess it can be more accessible to sue them, so it might worth in case you were really cheated and want justice.

I would only for all reasons fight back if I win such a huge amount of money and then get violated by the casino because of the what I stand to gain I will fight back but if it's not worth it like the regular issues that are reported in the forum then I will just switch casino if the odds of me wining the fight is high or the forum isn't in my favour.

In all my time here I haven't heard that anyone sued for any thing but if there is I will love to read and see how what was the outcome or will like to be the first to try that but what do I stand to gain nothing since I'm not a gambler that much.

I'd see the huge impact when it was just talk in the forum rather than filing a case. Aside from that, filing a case costs a lot of money, and it usually ends up in a settlement. At least in the forum, many users and gamblers know their play, which could ruin their reputation and possibly make their business fail. And it is free.

Aside from that, the process takes so long before getting the final judgment, which is not worth it, especially if the amount is not big.

When people find themselves in such a situation they simply do not see any conclusions, that is why they hope to get help by writing an application. The chance that in this way the question will be deprived of - is extremely minimal, fraudsters always carefully cover their tracks, they have been working on such schemes for years, obviously they will not get caught because of a minor misdemeanour.

Exactly. When you factor in the time and effort it takes to prepare a case, along with the loss of productivity from work and dealing with other responsibilities, it’s no surprise that not many pursue legal action against casinos. While there have been instances where players successfully sued casinos, those cases are rare and often drag on for a long time.

That’s why most frustrated players start by ranting on casino-related forums, then turn to third-party mediators like AskGamblers to try their luck. Some do find success this way and manage to recover their winnings, especially if their evidence is solid, but in many cases, the outcome still falls back on the casino’s Terms of Service, effectively closing the door on any chance of resolution.

I don't think there is any reason to sue  because it will be difficult for you to win such cases most of the register ed well known casinos are owned by some of the influential people in the country and so they are always protected no matter the situation.
But some persons does physically assault them mainly the ones that are not registered because they know that the money will not be refunded back to them, they see court cases as being too long and can't wait for the outcome and they know it will not be beneficial to them, since no money will be paid to them.

And so likely, I haven't heard that there's a legal jurisdiction in existence to back gamblers up against casinos oppressions.
Even in the highily regulated regions, I've always heard about the casinos cheating players but the players have always stand defenseless. Very weird and not even the government that cares about you and yet the casinos reputations are under their watch.
So it's just better you save your resources of facing a fight with the casino otherwise, your efforts will be in vein.

Maybe if the casino is licensed in your country, it would be much easier to take legal action against them. However, most online casinos these days only hold a Curacao license and operate offshore, making it nearly impossible to hold them accountable legally. In such cases, your best option might be to expose their scam publicly and see how the community responds.

If you have to go to court to protect your rights, you need to know in advance that it will cost the plaintiff dearly. This will require professional legal assistance and payment of a court fee. And if the court's decision is not in your favor, then all these embezzlements are non-refundable. So when making a decision, you need to consider whether the disputed amount is enough to start this mess.

So far, I have no any matter or problem with any casinos.
Everything goes according to what it should and I think that's all the norm. I often get defeat after defeat, but yes, this is gambling, if you feel cheated, I don't know, is there a casino that is truly honest? And if it doesn't match their TOS, I don't know either, because so far there have been no problems with it.

And if that happens, I will ask myself, is it worth it to do that? Will it really work? Whereas in my country gambling is prohibited, so it seems like I won't have the strength to do it.

This has never happened to me, but I can imagine how frustrating it would be to feel that I have been treated unfairly.

I think my first course of action would be to try to resolve the issue amicably with the casino... review the casino's terms and conditions and see if there are any clauses that could apply to my case, then contact the casino's customer support and explain the situation, providing all the necessary evidence and information.

If the issue is not resolved to my satisfaction, I would consider seeking help from a regulatory authority, such as the gaming commission of the country where the casino is licensed, as they have the power to investigate and resolve disputes between players and casinos.

A final option would be to seek legal advice, but to be honest, I don't think most people have the financial resources or the time to fight a casino in court, especially against the teams of experienced lawyers that many support with their fortunes... it's only worth it if the issue is serious enough and I have the necessary resources.

But, for those who don't want to bother, just do like me and only play at respected and trustworthy casinos.

There's some cases ive seen before that the gamblers sue a casino but some of them won those its way back just like a reels clip, if the casino is regulated and you know your rights I guess you can file up a case because its just for a discussion including with the proofs and now depends on that case court what will happen next so its a decision to make if they will pay the damage. We have standard procedure to follow with this kind of action but of course I cant give because I'm not an expert on that field. But if its all the players fault for sure the case will be trash but the trial court.

It is not worth it if the loss is less than a million dollars probably. Lawyers are costly, very costly and these are the local newly graduated lawyers I am talking about. A case like you mentioned should be handled by an experienced international lawyer and that costs serious amount of munney. A common munnkey who just graduated from the law skool won’t do anything about it as he probably don’t even know how to talk Engrish.

I don’t think you’ll find anyone here that sued a casino because I don’t think there are many rich people here who can risk a million usd on gambling. Even if they exist they probably won’t tell you about their story here because they’ll want to keep their identity anonymous.

I have never sued a casino and I don’t know anyone offline who has sued a casino. However, I often come across such reports in the media. But if you look at judicial practice, the vast majority of such cases are won by the casino. I don’t think that if I had any claims against a casino, it would be rational to go to court. Personally, I don’t have the time, money or qualifications for this. And if you think about it, my chances of winning the average case against a casino are approximately zero or slightly more than zero. Therefore, I would choose the “just let this situation go” option. I act in such a way as not to give the casino a reason to infringe on my interests. And the most important thing is money management. The monetary equivalent of your disputes with the casino should be small.

In my opinion, it is normal to be a victim of such fraud. Nowadays, many new casinos have been launched. We do not have a proper idea about them. So we cannot blindly trust them. We should test the new casino with the amount of money we can afford to lose.

If you are going to get into legal trouble, you need correct information. Which many people will not have. So it is better to stay away from these new casinos and play in trusted casinos.

Our forum is full of complaints from time to time from people who claim that the casino has deceived them. But if we pay attention to the history and wait for a response from the casino support, it often happens that the player himself is wrong. People who do not read the TOS or think that if they once forgot about their early account and stopped using it, think that the casino also forgot about such a player.

The trial in court is also unlikely to be in favor of the player, and I do not know if there is such a liability as slander and payment of moral damages to the casino if the user turns out to be wrong. Therefore, every time we "shake our muscles," threatening to sue, it is better to think several times about whether it is our fault for what we want to accuse the casino of.

If you mean in this forum? I have only heard or read forum members who will file a formal lawsuit to get their money, but do not know about the continuation because there is no news anymore.
So in this forum no one has officially filed a lawsuit against the casino and won the case because usually it is only submitted to their representatives, even one of the casinos that is known as a casino scam, no players have filed an official lawsuit, usually they just complain and ask how to contact the casino.

I’ve noticed this trend as well. There are many newbies who try to damage a casino’s reputation with false claims, which is why we especially the DT members need to be careful before passing judgment.

However, we can’t ignore the fact that some users raise legitimate complaints with solid evidence. When the community rallies behind these valid claims, casinos often step in to resolve the issue swiftly, protecting their reputation from lasting harm.

You're right a gambler is not meant to go to the path of suing the gambling site, because this can make you lose a huge amount of money sometimes the money you will spend in that process can be x10 the profit which you make in that gambling site that made you to think of going to the path of suing them, and of course the gambling site can be willing to afford whatever it takes just to make sure that they win the case, while you that happens to be the gambler will be finding it difficult to afford whatever it takes. This is why we shouldn't even think of suing a gambling site.

I either don't think we as a community members in this platform where casino adverts is being emphasized or discussed can come into the dispute when a casino cheats it players.

We are not escrows between the casino and the players rather here is only seen as reputable platform for the casinos to do their gambling speculations.

The only way I think the forum as here can come into this is to red flag the casino which awareness does not trespass this platform but though may create negative awareness to the casino to extent but is  insufficient reason for a cheated player to hold onto and thrives on suing the casino.

If the regulatory bodies of the casino does not stand by your side then nothing the communities as we can do. Highest we would only end up criticizing the casino which I don't see it justifiable for the vulnerable player to gain justice.

It’s always a dead end once a player move the case to a court or license provider because casino has no way to compromised in able to settle the issue quickly in case that the issue has a grounds for the player after the decision of the casino.

Legal battle is costly which is why user usually resort negative review on the casino instead of filing a case if ever the decision of the casino is firm while arbitrator favor the casino.

Unless the money involved is above million dollar, it’s not worthy to pursue legal battle on small amount.

In court, the casino also have more information, proof and statistics of user behavior to counter gamblers accusation. Gambler dont remember all their moves, but casino have all of them written down. If a gambler goes in court and try to sue casino for something, casino have multiple evidences of gamblers previous minor or major rule violations, that they can use against gambler. That is their ace in a hole. Gambler present one case of casino wrong behavior, casino present explanation why their behavior was correct, plus bunch of cases when that gambler play suspicious (I think just by giving an example of suspicious action is enough to change judges decision in casino favor).

There’s a lot of cases on scam accusation board of our forum that resolved after forum members intervention to reverse the casino decision. Forum has a power to emphasize the issue to the casino if the evidence provided by affected user is valid.

Only casino that is branded as scam with negative trust and active flag are those ignore community voice but the rest of the trusted casino typically deal the issue professionally.

We have @holydarkness that frequently help affected user to solve the issue if you are not aware on his work here.

This forum truly has significant influence over a casino’s reputation. If I were to gamble at a casino, I’d first check if they have an active thread here, that way, I can easily raise concerns if needed.

If a casino ignores complaints (even those without solid evidence), it’s a red flag. Operators who dismiss players’ issues are likely scammers who’ll eventually abandon the forum once their reputation is damaged.

In essence, our forum benefits honestly run casinos while exposing and weeding out fraudulent ones.


hats off to this guy.

Casinos won't allow a Sue to work out against them that's because it will not only tarnish their business image but also reduce their reputation and that you are affect the ability for them to be able to get new customers especially if they lost the case.
It's the same reason you find out that casinos try as much as possible to have good customer support just to ensure they have a proper relationship with their customers else they could risk losing them.

It definitely depends on how much it's going to cost and how much I'm going to get back if I manage to win the case against the casino because it's obviously senseless to fight against a casino spending $10,000 while the amount they owe you is barely around $5,000 or something, in that case, even if you win the case, you will still be at a loss unless the court helps you and gets you more money to cover up for the expenses you had to go through because of the case but I don't think that is going to happen at all.

The most probable reason why most people only rant in public forums, try to fight back this way, and then stop is because they are usually playing from regions where the casinos aren't actually present, but they are providing their services there. For example, if I'm gambling with a casino online that doesn't have a physical existence in my country, if I face such a problem, I wouldn't be able to do much in that case.

If this happens in our country, it will take time into the court and might sit for years before it's going to have preliminary reading. If you don't have money, you'll just have to let it go and start from somewhere and forget about suing them. The casinos have got billions in money(local and $) and that's why they're also willing to fight any suing that's done to them. It will just suck the money out and attorneys are going to take advantage of it for the complainant saying that there's might be a way but you'll have to pay for a lot of money for the attorney's fee.

In my country, online and offline gambling is considered illegal and against the law. So when I get cheated by some gambling sites, I prefer to just let it be, because if I choose to report it to the authorities, it's the same as surrendering myself to the police to be punished.

And I have played on several gambling sites, there was one case where I made a deposit, but the money disappeared somewhere and there was no balance at all in my casino account, and the first thing I did was complain to customer service to get a definite answer to the problem, and after that I could only hope anxiously that the money I had deposited would be returned, but if it didn't come back I chose to just let it go. and other incidents that I have experienced, where the casino did not make a payment when I got a win and the casino actually blocked my account.

Not only you let everything go, but I think majority who got any issues with casino let things go as well. Half decides to stop fighting for their money after they get default answer from live support or email. Many, after first fail to get truth and justice, let everything go and move to other casino. What I think, that if we take number of gambler who had troubles and number who went to court, the ratio will be tiny. And the amount of those who have won in court against corporation is even lower.

In my opinion, this is because gamblers do not feel any support from government agencies. A certain percentage of cheated gamblers know not only that no one will protect them, but also simply do not want to draw attention to themselves understanding because it may cause additional problems.  It seems that the goals of states and regulators do not include the interests of protecting gamblers. They are only interested in tax payments to the treasury and the work of anti-money laundering mechanisms.

I think that people dont want to go in court against casino or other corporation, because as an individuals, they think that "corporation have more money to spend on lawyers and its no use starting the process". But even if people have financial resources, they are usually either shy, or afraid, or quickly agree that "they did something wrong and should not try to prove their point". The reason for that is simple, people dont know their rights and dont read ToS. With "its written in ToS", or "its against ToS" is enough to scare gambler from continuing.

I think that taking legal action is very expensive and therefore, consider, if you have to recover $100, screw it and don't play it anymore.
If you have to spend $10,000 to get a much lower amount, the principle is ok but consider the waste of time and especially money.
I wouldn't do it for this reason

One of the main things that you should be putting up into your mind is on how much damage that it could do into you specially on financial aspect. Filing a case or any other related aspects about fighting your right in against with those bigger businesses or companies on which its just that too impossible that you cant be able to determine on what are your winning chance. It is just that too impossible that you cant be able to make out such computation in regarding or on how much you gonna spend when it comes to legal actions or whatever your plans in regarding into this one. Just like been said if the amount is big then its worth to fight for but if its not then just simply move on and forget it.

There are things that even if it do crosses up on the line but it is that much more better that you shouldnt pursue out to fight on that one because it isnt worth to take up such act. Instead on getting something, you might be able to lose up even more of it or simply you are just that wasting your time and money.

I wonder if anyone has a real experience in going in court and trying to settle things there. I dont have such experience and I wonder how much it could all cost and how much it might take to settle things. It is not a case of few days and half an hour spend in court room for listening the verdict. As it is all individual, I also wonder what will be a minimum amount of scam to go to court and try to sue casino. I dont think someone would bother about even thousand or several.

Taking legal action can be expensive, in fact i can tell you it is.
In some cases it is better to avoid conflict and not waste time and money, because in the end the one who loses is you.

Many people do this, they get bitten by the snake and then run after the snake to ask why it bit them, when they should be focusing on their healing and not asking the snake stupid things.

I wonder if anyone has been able to sue a casino before,and I don't think sueing a casino for losing money through gambling is advisable.Anybody that should gamble should be prepared for the regular losses and face the risks of what gambling really is, except that the casino violated the legal gambling practices by using illegal and deceptive means to fail gambler.
But based on my gambling experience,I haven't really seen anyone capable of sueing a casino for losing money.

This is because these gambling sites have rules and regulations that intending customers sign up for when they are registering on the casino platform so this makes it complicated for any bridge of trust that will be raised by the customer because the casino will be holding on to the point that you signed up on their platform so you have no legal power over them for what ever thing that happens, it's like selling your rights by signing up on most of these casinos but there are also reputable casinos that has good ways of resolving issues that customers raise

Majority of us don't really turn this into legal matters because they know this is gambling and every worst can happen, most of them just move on to this one. Also, assume that every casino are also ready when this things are brought to legal matters, they will eventually turn any situation upside down because they have a lot of money to begin with. Even the situation is correct or the right is in your hands, like what I've said, everything is not gonna turn for yourself, you will not gonna win and will really spend a lot of money in legal matters. They will use everything against you as a user of their platform and worst situations like threatening you might happen also.

People rarely sue a casino even if they believe they are right, because casinos are usually heavily regulated and lawsuits can be costly and time-consuming. People try to seek their rights on forums or other platforms that I have observed. I have never experienced such a situation while gambling, and if I had, I would not have bothered to start the process, so I would have left it even if I was right.

I've not had a reason to sue a casino, but in most cases, people let it go because they're not finished fighting other life issues. Reality has its own problems, and it's not worth suing maybe a casino that you gamble for fun or even if it's for profit. You don't make it so known because it's like a coded activity for yourself.

Most times, people don't sue for a lot of reasons. You might not even want your family or friends to know, why you're going to court. The court process isn't favorable; it takes a lot of time and involves many processes. Imagine going to court just to fight a casino where you gamble.

Realistically, people let it go for a lot of reasons. Personally, I try not to put too much money into casinos, so if anything happens, it might be an amount that I can let go.

It's so much of a risks  to have a casino sued cause in most cases the casinos are at priveledge to win the case and what do you stand to gain, so this is why I don't involve myself with any of this even if I have all the powers and connection I'm better off leaving it to them rather than embarking on something that I'll end up loosing.so having a casino sued is actually a bad idea,though  they might be wrong  in taking laws into their hands but sometimes things as this are meant for you to let go.

Firstly, why are you so certain that the gambler had violated (minor or major) the casino rules at some point? Secondly, if the case has to do with the casino not paying me my winnings, what does my playing style/ gambling behavior have to do with it? Thirdly, going to court isn't without a case or about something random and general. Is specific. So, suing the casino for "something" is more than general and can't stand anywhere.
So let's give an example. I deposit $100 from a wallet/ bank account/ or any other way the casino allows. Without any problem in my accounts (not dirty/ marked). I play a slot game, and I win $5k. I went to the Cashier to withdraw, but the casino wouldn't let me. I sent them emails, but they didn't reply, or they said to me that I was violating their ToS. We have a dispute, and I believe that they scammed me, so I'm suing them. What will the casino present from my gambling behavior that makes me accountable? Nothing. What does my case have to do with other cases where gambler has suspicious activity? None. In other words, if the gambler is crystal clear, have nothing to fear.
Btw, if the casino presents cases of suspicious activity or any type of violation from any player, the judge will fine the casino for not blocking him and continuing to allow the player to gamble there. Oops!

most casinos operate abroad so it will be a bit difficult for players to sue them legally because in addition to players needing to spend money to hire a lawyer, they also need to go through a series of complex processes because there may be differences in law or other administrative matters. so if the player only has a problem with a smaller amount of money, it will not be possible for them to take legal action... at most they can send an objection via email or write their case on an online website that usually displays reviews about casinos. but if it involves larger amounts of money, such as millions of dollars, maybe it can be done by the player, but maybe the resolution of the case will take a long time and the results also depend on the court's decision.

I believe, that almost nobody reads ToS, and there, I think, there are lines or clauses with very specific info about playstyle. I cant give any example, as ToS are different, but lets suppose gambler is allowed to gamble only from one location. Does everyone follow that? I think everyone play "if I managed to login, then everything is fine with me". That is not 100% right statement, but rather a hypothesis. Secondly, I think that casino monitor and write down gamblers behavior. Example, if you login and start clicking on news or go directly to slots - it is you and your natural behavior. If you start session with checking withdrawal methods, then it might not be you. That is what I have meant with playstyle. You dont pay attention to that, but casino does and have records of your behavior. In court, they might use that against you. They might try to turn case into "it wasnt you that was gambling, so we took decision to cancel all results and ban you", and try to ruin case in court. In theory they can do that. All I wanted to say that casinos are sneaky and will try to find hundred reasons to turn victim into criminal.

I would say that 99.9% of gamblers do skip out on reading up that terms and conditions and who would be wanting to read up that pile of text and trying to find on what are those things on which it is just that always the same with other platforms or companies when it comes to terms and conditions. So they do assume out that its just the same but there those terms that will be totally be used against on a gambler and if you are someone who do violate something and the casinos do focus on that or thrown at you then there's no way that you can have the confidence on fighting back on which you dont even know or even sure on what are those violations and if you cant be so sure on whats happening then you wouldn't be finding yourself that trying out to sue them out not unless if you do have that solid evidence that you have not doing something wrong or stupid against their terms then you can have a fight but if you do saw the amount isnt that something worth that you can fight on then its better to let it go and move on. We do know legal fights wont come cheap and totally put a whole into your pocket but if the amount that we are talking on here is something which is too big then you can totally have that fight as long you do have the money to push on. Just make it sure that you have all of the possible evidences and hadn't violated something then thats whats important.

Do you think that there is any point in fighting the casino in court? I think that this is a sure-fire losing case, firstly, the casino definitely has a good team of lawyers, whom you simply will not be able to resist, secondly, they write everything in the user agreement and what you may not like, you have already previously agreed, so before doing anything, reread the user agreement again (or maybe read it if you just agreed to it the first time without reading it), I think that after this any desire to deal with the court will disappear.)

Even if the users have all the evidence, I don't think most people here will sue the casino because let's say you only bet $50 and you wind up with $500 and the casino doesn't want to give you that by any means. I also assume you haven't violated the casino's terms and conditions.
But would you go to court and fight a case against the casino for this $500, I mean the 50 dollar you spent on the casino, and hire a lawyer for a much higher amount? And my point is that very few people win the jackpot and I have never seen a user who did not receive his money even after winning the jackpot by following the terms and conditions of the casino. There are many cases where the gambler did not receive the reward because he violated the terms and conditions. And I'm not talking about scammers here.

No sense to fight at that amount at all since imagine how big your expenses if you sue them legally since you need to pay professional fees and other necessary things. This is common reason why there's only few cases been reported that they sue a casino since most of people don't want any further more troubles and what common things they do is to post a warning about their experience on that particular casino then let the community the decide if they continue to gamble or not.

That's why the best thing we could do is to choose the most reputable casino so that we can avoid getting this issues. Since usually this cases happened on scam casinos.

This is a very interesting question. I think that very few gamblers think about it.
The thing is that many people come to the casino just to play and have fun. And even if this person sees that luck is not on his side, he will not do anything about it. After all, it is very difficult to prove that this casino has stopped some algorithms in its favor.
In my opinion, a gambler can try to prove his case only by collecting statistics on his games, indicating that his chances are constantly very small, and that: the casino can refer to the fact that the distance of the gambler's games is not very large.

Let me give a an example how people unintentionally violate rules, parallel doing nothing harmful. You remember that every pool has rules. No jumping and no diving are common rules, as well as there is an instruction how to use pool. There is a lot of text, but it is written, that you need to use ladder to get in the water. Even if you dont dive, jump, but merely take a sit on the edge, but then got in the water, you did not do anything wrong, but still violated pool usage rules. If something goes wrong and you try to sue pool owner, and investigation starts, the way you get into the water might play role in taking final decision in court. What I think is that in ToS (to be honest, I havent read it with magnifier glass) it is written all the steps you need to make to gamble and while gambling. Even though gamblers play how they find it more comfortable for them, they, unintentionally, might break some minor rules. Nothing serious, but might play against you if there are enough tiny rules break.

I have never sued a casino before, and I would never do such thing in my life, and don't pray to bet on a casino that can not afford to pay my winnings. Because anybody that have been involved in coming layer before can never think of suing a casino because at the end you found out that the money you have loss is double of our winnings. So for me I think is not advisable for a gambler to engage in anything layer for any casinos despite the winnings because a gambler can never compare his funds with that of a casino.

Sometimes we can’t be 100% sure if the casino we’re betting on can actually pay us when we win, especially on slots or games where there’s a chance to hit a massive multiplier. That’s when the casino really gets tested.

Imagine you're just a regular player, betting $1, then boom, you win $1 million. If the casino is shady, even if they can pay, that amount is huge, and they might pull some excuse like “you broke the TOS” or accuse you of cheating just to avoid paying. Total scam move.

The case of legal justice requires money as the case maybe that the judiciary is corrupted. So it'd be obliged to know your position and edge giving you the impetus of challenging the casinos in a legal means when you know they've the resources such as legal backups and funds to counter you oppressively.
You also need to rethink about your possibilities of double lost because they the casino cheated on you, sueing them could be another bad failure for you because they're relatively entities in high profiles sectors which are potential to influence you and take justice to themselve then, it turns out a double lost for you.

I have heard of legal battles between gamblers and casinos in the past, and almost all of the cases were won by the casino, and this is just a clear caution sign that even outside the casino platforms, the odds are always in favor of the casino, so what is the point of taking up a legal action against the casino when they know already what it would result to.  Sometimes, it is not all about taking legal action, some matters or situations can be amicably resolved through dialogue between both parties involved, except otherwise.

Suing a casino to court would be the last thing I will do because at first, I gamble for fun and with what I know I can be able or afford to lose if anything goes wrong so suing the casino is of no use to me because I will end up spending money for legal fees and what if the casino is not licensed in my location, then it would require me flying to where the the casino is licensed and getting the services of a lawyer over there for the court actions which would cost me much more and I ask for how much then?

I don’t see that happening in my case, since I’ve never encountered a casino offering a 1,000,000x multiplier, so that’s practically impossible. However, I do agree with your point. Even a $100K win would be life-changing for me, and I’d do everything possible to claim it. If necessary, I wouldn’t hesitate to take legal action, provided the costs are reasonable. I might even work out a contingency agreement with a lawyer where we both benefit if the case succeeds.

If we have confidence that the case that is happening is not our mistake, which means the casino really made a mistake and does not want to pay the winnings obtained, then a decent amount can certainly be considered to continue the case on the legal path.
The note is that we really did not violate any rules. After the case is published, I am sure the casino will also collect more evidence to incriminate our account. It could be related to having multiple accounts, even though the others are inactive.

There are people who take gambling as a side hustle, those who don't earn much from their office work or whatsoever, they use their earnings from gambling and add up to whatever they make from their job for survival, you don't expect such people to spend the little they have on hiring a good lawyer that would stand for them in a legal battle, the least they can do is complain on different media platforms to get support from other gamblers or let if go, it takes a very wealthy gambler to file for a lawsuit and win, someone like drake, i don't think the Casino would even want to have an issue with such person, they'll resolve the issues immediately before it even gets to the point of him hiring a lawyer for himself, therefore only a reputable and wealthy person can win a legal battle against a casino, poor and most average people doesn't stand a chance since the cost of a legal battle is very expensive for them, they know that the house would have more edge against them.

Fight back legally? Definitely not. It would be a total waste of time and resources if I did that, especially if it's an online casino based outside of my country. But that doesn't mean I'm going to let it go. I'm going to post it right away here in the forum and provide proof to serve as a warning for others. Also, I'm going to keep on bugging their support nonstop until they give in. Usually, a reputable casino won't make a big deal out of it if it's their fault.

Its provably just an example provided, But if that's really the case I would also sue the casino its a waste of money if we didn't take any action and let that huge money go away to us.

If we know for our selves that we have solid proof then I guess its better to proceed rather than doing nothing since its like we are tolerating those casino to do the same especially if they don't want to pay their winners.

Such amount is really a life changing and provably that same as you I will also do the same since everything will surely worth it especially if we could able to get the money owed by the casino to u.

Sometimes, if a casino is fraudulent they might simply block your account, so you can't access it anymore. Therefore, to protect yourself, it’s crucial to document everything, take screenshots of your bets, wins, and account activity as proof. However, thorough verification is still needed, which is why proper casino regulation is essential, that said, regulators should have access to audit their systems and confirm whether payouts are legitimate.

It would also be ideal if casinos automatically sent email confirmations for deposits, withdrawals, and placed bets. That way, you could simply screenshot the bet slip with its unique ID, creating solid evidence in case of disputes.

That is impossible to do, to document everything, because you never know when ban strikes you, and gambling with an idea «I will be scammed anytime» is totally wrong. I am not even sure that recording or taking a screenshot will counts court. Casino can parry it with «its fake or photoshop». Also I dont think that casino will allow regulators full access. At least that is not secure.

By answers in this topic, it looks like suing casino is useless, because it is impossible to win.

Seriously, I don’t think it’s impossible, just highly unlikely. A more reasonable take would be to call it improbable.
After all, if it were truly impossible, we wouldn’t even be seeing this report online in the first place.

 Online gambler wins court case to claim £1.7m prize after Betfred refused to pay (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/apr/07/online-gambler-wins-court-case-to-claim-17m-prize-after-betfred-refused-to-pay)

It is not impossible to sue an online casino, well, not just online casino but any casino at all, and it's also not impossible to win your case against them, it's also not rare to win a case against a casino, all one have to do is to make sure he or she has a very valid case against the casino and hire a very good and professional lawyer who understand well how to fight against casinos In the court of law, someone with good experiences and have won several of such cases before...

The only downside is that the service won't come cheap, this is why I said law is made for the poor to obey or abide to, while courts are made for the rich to take issues of right abuse to, a poor man may have his right abused by the casino and he won't do anything because taking up the case to the court of law will cost him a lot of money which he doesn't have, this is the main issue, and not that it's impossible or rare to win a case against a casino, I
I've witnessed alot of persons drag casinos to court and ended up winning, it's not a rocket science, but only requires have alot of money to hire the right people for the case.

I've never sued any casino, or any company for that matter, because I have no reason for that. Companies have never defrauded me, which is graceful, right?

I've been dealing with the internet monetarily for about 20 years, but I ensure that I don't just invest my money anyhow, I do a thorough investigation before committing my money.

Regardless, I've read many suing casino cases on websites and other social media outlets, and I've never seen a casino win a case. The reason why the suing of casinos is not rampant is that the money involved is too little, and people may not have the power to pay the legal fees.

The question is, since the existence of casinos in this world, have we ever heard of a gambler who was able to sue a casino without any cheating, or maybe there was a glitch with a game provider? Haven't we ever heard of such a thing?

Because the only thing that has happened in the history of gambling that a casino player has sued is when a player had a cheating or glitch problem with a casino game provider, right?
Just like the example that happened with Phil Ivey vs. Genting Casinos (2017) where he lost to the casino but when there was an investigation, it turned out that the player Phil Ivey cheated.

Yes, it is difficult to fight against a titan who may have a lot of money, but what can really do damage is to spread the word in a bad way and with the evidence in hand , that is the worst thing you can do. In addition, here in the forum a lot of Importance is given to these things and even more so when you are completely right, that is why we as conscious people must know how to act in the face of these things, making the respective complaint here in the forum.

Yes, you are both right, and I also agree that almost none reads any ToS from almost all the sites (casino or no) that they join. That doesn't mean that you don't know if you are legit. And it's more than true that 99,99% of the casinos are sneaky, but that can be found if you present a case, and that will come only if a lawyer genuinely digs out/thoroughly checks your issue and agrees that you have a case. We will always (?) be in the weakest position against casinos or any other major company. That doesn't mean that if something happens against us, we will have to shut up, stop, or not even start a fight. You will indeed need a lot of money, but there are ways to fight back even without money at all. Nobody can be untouchable because they have money, however, they pass it in our way of thinking that they are indeed untouchable. Well, they are not.

What kind of money would we talking about? If it's not millions, i would ask myself why would any regulated casino waste their time to scam me, as they have more than enough money to pay.

Reason why casinos and every financial institution is putting so much effort on good customer service, is that news about bad customer service spread so much faster then good customer service. It's something that casinos and other financial institutions are building slowly, because there's no fast way to do it. There's only fast way to lose it.

And you only need like 50 users or just one with right connections to make casino lose all credibility. Bad news spread like a wildfire. And those 50 people wouldn't even bring enough money to benefit the casino. Real regulated casinos have insane yearly revenue, like Stake had $2.6 billion in 2022.

If they would scam 50 users for 100k, that would mean $5M, which is under 0.2% of their yearly income. It's confiscated money and legally not their to spend. And since casinos need regular audits, they would need to risk even more by laundering it. Their reputation is worth more then anything so this wouldn't make sense.

If it's a technicality, that lead to freezing my account, like breaking ToS, then i might ask an opinion of a lawyer pro bono if possible. Because that could clash with consumer protection laws in my region.

Casino might just back down just by getting a letter from certified legal team. But legal fees could mount up and it might not be worth it.

If it's millions we are talking about and they refuse to explain what happened, i would lawyer up.

This has been a fantastic discussion, and it’s clear most of us aren’t interested in legal battles unless the winnings are truly life-changing. Thanks to everyone who contributed, we’ve gained valuable insights from different perspectives on this topic. But for now, I’ll now lock it to prevent spam. Appreciate all your input!  :)
