Do you read the TOS of a gambling site? Honest answer please.

[Fundamentals Of]

I voted yes, but I have to be honest that I read them after I registered. So, it was a while after I had registered and had been playing. Apart from that, I have to say that some gambling sites do not have TOS, so we cannot read them. But in my opinion everyone should read them. If not, trouble can follow.

I think that is a risky move that you will only read the TOS after you registered in a gambling site because what if the site is not licensure that you already handed them your personal information to them without knowing they are legitimate. Also, I think most legitimate gambling sites and other sites have their TOS because it is proof that they are safe and secured, so I read them the TOS before signing up or registering an account.

^ All gambling sites should have TOS, and that is recommended for them, that is impossible if they don't have TOS. For me, if they don't have TOS they are not operating legitimately since TOS is an agreement between the clients and the gambling operators, once you have used the site, it means you agreed the TOS. Nevertheless, that is a bad practice if you will skip the TOS upon using a gambling site, make it sure you read it properly to avoid possible trouble in the future.

If you are a serious gambler who is also a high roller or bettor, it is indispensable that you should read the TOS first before signing up. With a huge amount of money involved, risk should be minimized. Which also means a gambling site without a TOS should not even be considered.

You can never go right with a site which does not even have a TOS. That is a very basic thing in gambling sites, much more basic than a license. But a serious and high roller gambler should not even be risking depositing big amounts if a gambling site is not licensed. You don't court troubles if you are risking big amounts of money.

The mistake of some other people is they are ignoring the TOS and just gamble directly without knowing the don't and does about the site the play and they cry later on on e they encounter some issue or been compromised for some things they didn't imagine to come and mostly they blame it to the dev while the fact is it's their own negligence put them on that situation.

Reading TOS is the most important thing we need to read first before entering a site since it can help us to avoid such avoidable issues.

That is so true. People are a little selfish and self-centered. If nothing's untoward happening, they would even heap praises on the site. But when something's wrong which is not even the site's fault, it is very easy for them to point finger and cry foul. Most won't admit responsibility over their very own negligence.

TOS reading is a must but I only gamble with very little amount that is why I don't take TOS reading religiously. Should things go wrong and my account is locked out due to clear TOS violation, I might not really fight it out as if I'm being scammed.

But it would be a different story if I am gambling thousands of dollars. I will see to it that every detail of the TOS is well understood.

The no is winning and I'm not surprise because I am one of those who don't read the terms of service, I just know the basic rules of the gambling site and there is a notification that if you are located in a country that are not allowed it will put your account in trouble.
and majority of the gambling sites do have similar TOS and rules you read one and you read them all.

well, indeed every gambling place provides information about TOS that can be used for more information about how this gambling place makes withdrawals and deposits which will usually have processing time and even some other gambling place rules that are usually contained in the TOS they have created. unfortunately we as gambling players sometimes ignore the TOS that existed before the case occurred on the account used for gambling.

I already entered my vote.
It's a "no". 
Now, the "no" votes are fighting back against yes.
As of now, it's 31 yes vs 30 no.

An honest answer to me. I am really lazy about reading all the TOS.
I'd like reading reviews more than just something that is copied from somewhere else and edited it a little.

it's a tie score now, 31-31, I like to admire those people who are honest with their answers, voting for no because I want to be honest myself, but don't call me a dumb gambler as I know the risk and I know what I'm risking.

Look like more people do not read the TOS. I am also careless when it comes to reading the TOS. I mostly read the comments on the ANN thread of the site and directly ask the question here on the forum if i am confused about any terms. However reading TOS is a good habit and should be adopted.

I hope OP is not making this survey for the gambling sites to know, lol.. If they'll know that majority of us here are not really reading the TOS, they might make some sudden changes that is not in our favor. By the way I voted no because OP says he wants and honest answer.

[molsewid]

Well, perhaps that is worth it to read if you will spend a huge amount of funds on gambling. I always afraid of violating their law that makes my account lock, --suspended, and perhaps it will be banned because you don't know the rules. It is has been taking advantage to have knowledge because you can simply avoid what in the gambling site implemented. I will read the term of use and the frequently asked question. These are very important to avoid such offense that you perhaps don't know.

Just like what I've said, lol. When my identity is at risk or plans to deposit a large amount of crypto on a gambling website, I patiently read some parts of their Terms of Services. But in my case, that's not too frequent to use gambling websites or rarely deposit a large amount of crypto. I prefer not to read too many long pages ToS.

I want to make a survey from gamblers in the forum if they are really reading the TOS of the gambling sites they are playing with.

Therefore, I request you to vote and give an explanation on why you voted yes or no?

Im the only 1 person who voted for "NO".

Because you were too quick to vote for a NO  There are many others who voted NO after you including me.
More than 35 people actually voted for a NO. Now this seems interesting ain't it 

Well, im honest that i dont really read up much when it comes to terms.When i do saw a new gambling site then i do make registration and make some deposit directly.

We know that most of them arent really restricting several countries.Im just really that too lazy but so far i havent been blocked with this kind of behavior.(hopefully not).
Sooner or later i would able to find out when it comes to restriction but in most cases that do happen after i have played. hehehe

Even I don't really read the Terms and Conditions more often. I just check the site and if it gives me the vibes then I just proceed and play on it.
Until now none of the sites I have gambled in have turned out to be scam or has bothered me in any way.

[imstillthebest]

Tbh no .because the write ups were so large and the write ups also are the same to other gambling sites or to other sites  but except to some lines maybe ?

 I rather read the faq because I can seek easy answers on it and most of what is written on t.o.s can also be found on the FAQ page .

I think I will only read the t.o.s once I'll got penalized and I didn't knew the reason why it happen and then the staff that I pm will also turn over me to their t.o.s page . So far that didn't happen

I don't quite sure they will remove it some users here are really serious about the terms and conditions and will not agree that the casino will not have a terms and condition that would be really dangerous for all the players of that casino.

Since this is a survey, I would like to honestly answer :
No

I do believe that the starting page is the only one I even look at , most of the times I check the reviews of the site and most of the times it's the sites which are involved in the forum , the ones with the signature campaigns so these sites are the one's that I can trust since most of them take these things seriously.

TOS is much like the user agreement therefore I believe just how we ignore the end user agreements most people ignore the TOS too.

I believe people tend to gamble on sites without any knowledge of TOS. So this dangerous part is really something to be looked upon .

It should be used friendly for sure, but also save site from some problems.

[mardaed]

Yes, I do. Although I must say that I do not read some parts that I think that are generic or sometimes I just go back at certain parts whenever I am confused or getting worried for some reason. And I usually do this with new casinos, because like many gamblers I also depend on reviews of other gamblers about a particular casino.

[iv4n]

I don't read TOS, I read reviews and what people have to say (at least the one who have tried) about the specific gambling site, that's enough for me. For all the doubts I have, I contact support! Usually my concerns are bonus related, am I eligible for the bonus (because of the country I am from, currency I plan to deposit, wagering requirements, etc). I find contacting support before everything is advantage, you can check how fast they are, how much they care about customers...if support is good more chances that casino is good too!

[bunglor]

sometimes i didn't read it but sometimes i read it i think its good to know the website's rules and regulation in creating account so you would know what is right or wrong in a certain casino or gambling site.

[nasipadang]

Honestly I don't really read much the Terms and Condition since for me it's too long to read I know that we should be reading those because it is one of the first thing to do when playing for the first time in that gambling site since not all the casinos and sports betting website are the same. This topic is good according to the poll it seems that a lot of users are not reading the Terms and condition now I know the reason why some people are accusing gambling sites and the gambling sites are blaming users for violating their terms and conditions.

[khaled0111]

I am surprised by the poll results! I didn't expect to see many gamblers voting "no"!
It, somehow, explains why there are so many topics complaining about their accounts being locked or being unable to withdraw their funds.

Reading the ToS of any platform/company before using its services is a must especially when money is involved.
It's like a contract between you and the platform and by using any of the services offered by the latter, you implicitly agree to all their terms.

[Eternad]

Yes, I do. Although I must say that I do not read some parts that I think that are generic or sometimes I just go back at certain parts whenever I am confused or getting worried for some reason. And I usually do this with new casinos, because like many gamblers I also depend on reviews of other gamblers about a particular casino.

It's typical to read ToS in new casinos, I don't read ToS only when it's already established here in forum, I mean those who have active threads and have players that keep posting some of their wins as well feedbacks and complaints. Sometimes I just checked here in forum whether the casino have bad reputation to avoid reading ToS which sometimes are way too long, unlike here in forum we can see if they have red tag already.

[Fatemablabla]

To be honest, I don't read TOS of any website in the internet. Actually everyday I visit so many new websites for my work or any other things. So for the short of time I can't read TOS of websites that I visit. Gambling websites are one of these. I play bets in many websites like Roobet, Betnomi, Betbtc regularly. But didn't read their Tos yet. -_-

[acroman08]

I don't read TOS, I read reviews and what people have to say (at least the one who have tried) about the specific gambling site, that's enough for me.

although reviews or feedback are a great way to decide whether to gamble on that specific site or not but sometimes it is unreliable. there are tons of competition going on in the gambling industry and a lot of them giving a false review or feed to make the gambling look/sounds good or bad. either way, reviews and feedbacks are still a great way to decide whether to gamble on that gambling site or not. but I don't rely on it too much and I encourage other people to do the same(at least if they asked me).

sad to say that I already expected for this to happen since I too don't read the full ToS but only what I deemed important. and that is also why most of the time I am reluctant to believe a complainant saying that they didn't break any of the rules. unless they provided enough evidence to prove their innocence(same goes for the gambling site).

Nothing is 100% safe and reliable, but it's comes easier to decide to try it or not after reading people's experience with the same service/casino, or anything else! I don't encourage people to trust in anything they read, it's like a guidance, you collect information from here and there and you make your own mind what will you do!

[bonjouros]

In my case, I only register to the site that I think is safe to use just to play and as you can see reading their TOS is pretty tiring so frankly speaking I didn't read the TOS of the gambling sites that I am using.

I am pretty lazy in terms of reading and understanding their TOS but I explore their FAQ page and other important information that I need in order to play safely in every gambling site that I am using as I don't like my money to be freeze just because I do something stupid actions.

I know, I've been following his website ever since he opened it. his website actually helped me decide whether to try out a new gambling site or a gambling site I haven't heard or tried before and I am glad his review site is doing really well.

and I completely agree.
