When a Gambler/Player Dies

[investerS]

I have been thinking of a question but have not got a suitable answer, in case a gambler or player who has big money in his account dies, what happens to his money? If the family eventually get to know he has money in that gambling account, how will they claim it if they dont have a password to the account or email? Does the owner of gambling site have a way of handling that or is it a free money for them to claim? Your response please.

How will the family find out he had lot of money? Let's assume he told them, or in second case they found out his password. I don't think that any of the site you mentioned will release fund's for anyone based on the user name of the deceased person, this way anyone would approach the site's. If they had the password why would they need site's permission. So I feel it's best to understand that it's lost, unless they can recover the password, as none of the gambling site's ask for identity proof. I feel it's lost forever, also shift this topic to gambling discussion for a more discussion.

On a casino or bookmaker it would be possible for the house to try to contact the person's family and give back the money (even though I never read in any terms and conditions such situation mentioned but surely the moral wants the house to try to give the money back. But how is the house suppose to know the person is gone?
And on a casino or gambling website related to crypto-currencies I do not see how this is possible anyway.

- There is hardly anything the websites can do in this case.I mean anyone can come up with a fake case which wouldn't show relevant proofs until they have access to the supposedly 'dead' family member.

- Being a rich gambler one can always keep all their funds on a shared wallet if they think their death shouldn't destroy their holdings.And the global rule follows anyway : Don't store coins on an online service since you never know how vulnerable the website can be.

- Also I don't think any family member would want to know their 'dear one' was a gambler.

This would really be a hard question because we wont even know if this thing possible happened already or not.First question is on how did the family find out that his husband do have a gambling account online?For sure no man will easily tell to her wife about his activity online because it would really be a big problem. Second, house will hardly verify if its true or not knowing that most gambling sites as of now doesnt really require too much information of a gambler.Therefore, i think off regarding on this thing isnt possible to have such claims.

That will be stuck on his account if no one knows his log in details. If you'll read the TOS of a gambling site there will be some situations that are given like this and the decision will depend on the management of the gambling site. And I think there will be a time range if accounts that are inactive for years will be decided if it will be locked and the fund there will go to their bankroll.

I'm sure each site will have their own policy regarding this kind of situation. If the family member of such gambler knows that their relative have some money on gambling site, there will be some things that can be used as evidence. Through wallet, email and so on.  The family members can find the evidence through the equipment that gambler often use. I am sure something can be traced through such devices.

Its possible if you'd want to but I want to say that gambling sites don't need info of a player most of the time because you can just put up an email and set some password then confirmed it to your email then you are good to go. Gambling sites do even have a direct way of registering with username and password which we cant see any information of a player.If the player dies then I do consider those funds would be a free money for houses which recovering would really be hard.

But how could the family know if their member still has some balance left on a gambling site? its pretty hard in many ways so I assume it will be a free money for the casino owner and most gambling sites don't have personal info of their player to contact their immediate family incase the owner found out that there are no movements on 1 account

certainly it is free money for the site
how do they know that the family member of an anonymous player is actually his relative
or who the hell was that player at all if some even do not have email registered
so if you have some big coins at one of the dice sites,better do not die

The only one that can assure that the money will go straight to any individual of his choise, is the gambler .
So if he wants to secure a transition of his funds/earnings to literaly anyone,can store his pass etc and the "know how newbie guide".

Without his guide,he knows that his money will be freeze for start and then probably taken from the casino owner.
Best and only solution is to make a hand written will.

Appreciate all your responses, but i like to suggest to gambling site owners to include the details of next of kin to gamblers registration should in case of evetualities they can reach out to such person, provided they will be faithful to do so.
I imagine a scenario whereby someone playing on his system and something just happened and the player is gone.

Most of the online gamblers rather prefer to  be anonymous due to location/government restrictions.So gambling sites will be least interested in providing such services as they will have a potential loss in the customers if they forcibly ask for personal details.Also the chances of a person dying in an online gambling environment with bitcoin lowers down the sample space of the events.So not worth taking an action just to take care of those cases.

It should obvious that if no one has control of the gambler's account, then no one can access to it. Gambling sites owner has nothing to do with it and the balance will stay there based on the rule where active accounts should stay.

Online gambling world are not designed that way especially here in crypto world. Gamblers itself must be responsible enough to have at least a list of their personal accounts and passwords and hand them to their trusted person in the family. Same scenario when you are holding any cryptocurrencies.

The credits should remain in the account for as long as the casino is around for. I don't see why you are making a thread about this. Obviously the account cannot be accessed. It has been like that with anything online that requires login info. Give your login details to loved nes if you have an investment. You should anyway because then yes u always have an off-site backup.

[OldWitch]

Probably would best idea for "gambler" make a safe-deposit box and put information down in case he "dies".The family who might knew or had a hunch about his gambling addiction, may or not check by the information he left them. But eh, who would trust a bank with that secret .

I doubt any online gambling site as you mention has ever thought about it, but I might be wrong to.

I suggest making a file or piece of paper with your log in information and put it only somewhere that would be accessed if you died.

We should not pray for death! However, it is good for us to make provision for that as we would need our love one to get all that we labour for in time of death. gambling is a game of risk and many of them did not make provisions for next of kid in their applications form and the gambling companies has to add this to their application forms.

Money will stay in his account until account become inactive and gambling site lock it or gambling site goes down. [1]

If the family eventually get to know he has money in that gambling account, how will they claim it if they dont have a password to the account or email?

They won't.

Does the owner of gambling site have a way of handling that or is it a free money for them to claim?
