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

[ethereumhunter]

To be honest I used to skip it all and just agree but it all changed when I read that there are some gambling sites that froze some account because they broke the TOS.
That is when I started to read all of the TOS not just in gambling but also in other platforms as well.

I think the TOS for every gambling site does not have much different, but we need to read it all TOS if we want to know for more details. Maybe I am like you, which don't read the TOS because I don't search for many things on the gambling site. I only want to enjoy my free time by playing gambling games without any problem. If somehow I win, maybe that will be the time to read the TOS to find out more about withdrawal.

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?

They are all almost the same you only need to read one popular gambling site and it covers every existing gambling and besides I know the basic rule of gambling do not use bot do not create multi-account, and don't cheat the system everything comes down to this basic rules follow this rule and you will be safe.

Honestly I do not read the ToS rather I visit the ANN thread of the casino here at the forum and thankfully someone always does the hard work and fine loop holes in the ToS and casino as a whole. I never had the energy to read the terms and conditions literally but if no one is having problems on the ANN thread for the casino then I believe I am no different and should be safe to play.

Also I never had any problems with any casino related to terms and conditions and never gave too much attention to these things. Yes at times there are KYC asked from certain casinos but as they are trusted I don't find much problems with that.

[BestBitcoinCasino]

it can be daunting to read the entire terms and conditions. what players can do instead is to look for keywords and use the Find function on their browser. some of the key terms to look for are: wagering requirement, country restriction, deposit, withdrawal, license, etc. If you can't be bothered to read word per word, just do this quick search to have an idea about the important details found in the terms and conditions.

[fortunecrypto]

No, I don't I found out that most of them have the same TOS, so I don't bother reading all the TOS of gambling site where I register only when I am actively playing and will deposit a big amount, I already know the basic rules that every gambler should follow like do not create more than one account and do not use VPN or if you see a warning sign that they are not available in your country, do not cheat the system by using a VPN, another one is creating fake credentials just to confirm your identity.

[ronaldo40]

reading terms and conditions are waste of time for some other since it's too long to read but they didn't know its one of the most important thing to do when playing for the first time in a casino or sports betting website it's one of the safety check i'm doing honestly.

[Mahdirakib]

Most of the time I don't read the terms of service. But I do it when it comes to a new casino, which have launched recently. I have played at many old gambling sites without reading the tos, I have trusted them as they are running their casino from so long and have good reputation as well. Nowadays many casino adds some unique conditions at their TOS, those may not user friendly always. For this I read it at some new gambling site before joining there. Obviously I hate it if any casino ask for KYC.

As long as we are playing from our own deposit, without having multiple account and not from restricted country there is less chance to face any problem at gambling site. This is the thing what I keep in my mind always before joining new one.

[tsaroz]

It's all the same for every gambling site. There's no use of reading 12 pages of useless things.
Just be sure about a few things though
1. Does they allow your country or not.
2. Does they allow VPN and multi account or not.(many don't)
3. Do they require KYC for every users or not. (most don't but all of them would ask one if found your behavior suspicious)

Other things like currency, exchange and house edges would be easily found when you are in action inside the site.

[smyslov]

They are all the same well almost 100% similarity, so there is no need to waste time if you sign up to ten gambling sites you will go bored yourself reading all those TOS, I stopped doing that after reading the last two gambling sites I sign up I figure that I need not bore myself reading all those stuffs almost identical.

[ShowOff]

I read them but not all of them because I think reading the most important passages is enough to get information. As a gambler, I don't think we should read all of them from start to finish especially if the site doesn't restrict my country and they are already a trusted site and don't require KYC. That's enough to make me play on the site. Reading all of them is a good choice to find out more about what this site needs for player, but I think it will take a while and most sites have the same rules even if there are slight modification.

There might be a gambling site that has the same TOS but it's not always 100%, There is a casino that needs to submit KYC first before playing or before withdrawing and there is a casino that has a different license that has restricted countries and the restricted countries are different in each casino. It's important nowadays to read TOS because it might give you stress whenever they freeze your account for not abiding by their TOS. There are issues in this forum that the problem is the country that the player is living is banned in accessing the casino but the player bypass it by using VPN which sometimes is also prohibited in the TOS of some casino.

2-3  minutes of reading doesn't hurt that much.

Majority would really have the same rules applied and as mentioned there would be slight modifications like countries prohibition and kyc matters.

Most of the time people doesn't really read up much with that very long text to be read out and just play directly as long they do able to access it and lots of
people do trust them up and that should be enough.

Its neither you do read or not, as long we can able to play and they do pay then that what matter most.

If there are many complaints about the blocked account on the newly registered gambling website, I will read for understanding the reasons or protecting future myself. The same rules are written on the TOS of gambling websites, I prefer to save time without reading the bunch of words. There is a risk of getting locked of account but it happens rarely. The only thing that can be prevented is the special limit conditions depending on the country. Checking each rule about the sports betting and delayed events can be headache for me, to be honest. So short answer is: Sometimes Yes and sometimes NO

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 of why you voted yes or no?

I voted "YES".

reasons:
- Ensure that I am not wrong in that gambling site
- Ensure the detail and information about the site
- Ensure everything is okay before I agree to play in there
- Ensure about the very specific information of the site, at least here:

End User License Agreement;
Withdrawal Rules and Policy;
Game Rules;
FAQs;
Sports Betting Rules;

So, I will not regret any decisions and also minimize making mistakes. However, sometimes, badly, I also only follow the other trusted members there

Most of people do neither read ToS nor FAQ. There are two types of people who break rules on exchanges or casinos:

- Break rules because they don't read ToS/ FAQ.
- They read but they try to cheat the system and when they are caught and get account closed or restrictions, they lie that I don't know those rules.

ToS, do you read it before using new platforms?

Well having us our obligation readon TOS for our own safeties because this can be used against us once we win Big since Gambling site will surely
look upon our mistakes just to avoid paying us.
Sometimes they will not let you know about your violation until you finally Hit the win and starts to withdraw your funds.
i'm not saying all gambling site has this attitude but i know there are some who is really hate when there are winners.

[Question123]

Yes, Honestly when I register in the gambling I was reading the Term of Service so I can sure that I cannot experience any trouble when I use their platforms. Reading TOS mostly most the people did not read they accepting the terms and that is the problem and when they encounter they blaming the gambling platforms. Make sure when you accepting a TOS make sure you read all the details so you can understand very well your agreement between you and the gambling website. Don't be lazy because it takes only a minute when you read their TOS.

[justdimin]

I have never read one.

Been on about 5-6 gambling sites without any issues.

I would say you must be lucky or maybe you don't visit new casinos because there are flaws in a lot of casinos and they can play around those flaws and deny your profits if you somehow manage that. I do check the terms sometimes when I am free but it is not like I check and read before I play, when I have free time I love doing proofreading kind of stuffs.

But that said most of the terms for all websites are similar so don't think a big problem has ever been caused to any gambler just because they did not read the full terms and conditions.

But I do always check all the details and the wager requirements when claiming any bonus because I have been fooled numerous times in past where I would claim a bonus and later the deposit would also get stuck and now I have to wager 50-60 times to even get my deposited money into withdrawable money.

That is useful tips for gamblers to know the things that can break the rules. As long as we can follow their rules, even if we only read the global rules, I think we will be okay, and we will not get a ban or block by them. But if you want to know the details about the rules, you need to read the TOS. We need to accept the TOS if we're going to play gambling games on their site, and we don't have to try to break any rules because that can give us a bad experience in the future.

I usually skim through them but I’m not going to get caught out because -

1.) I don’t multi account
2.) I don’t try & double spend
3.) I’m not involved in some weird, scammy betting ring
4.) I don’t use VPN so only play on casinos my jurisdiction allows me to
5.) If asked to provide KYC docs I do it


The above are 5 of the main reasons people get their money confiscated, accounts closed etc. It’s not tough to be a fair, honest gambler. 

This is a very nice comment! If people are honest and don't try to cheat/scam, or to bypass house rules in some way, they will not have problems! I do as you, I don't have VPN, I play in casinos where they accept players from my country, if I am asked I will provide KYC! I never had any serious problem with any crypto casino where I played, but I stick to trusted casinos, and mostly I choose casinos from that have ANN thread here!
Respect for the last sentence "It’s not tough to be a fair, honest gambler.", who is honest and fair will not have problems in any honest and fair casino! At least not some serious problems, and if there're something with good support any problem will be solved quickly!
