Do online casinos disadvantage some locations from winning big

[BitcoinPanther]

You know how casinos have set certain slots to only pay a certain amount to a winner, it it also possible that casinos are using an algorithm to limit how much it can payout for players coming from certain locations to avoid being dragged into legal disputes if a player is paid big money and the local authorities want to know the source and the alike?

I would love to see if you have proof about this claim.  At least this can make us point our VPN to the country that can get huge wins from slots.  I also watch streamers that claims that seeds from certain place is far better than others.  But I don't believe this kind of stuff.  Slots result is random and seeds, even thought they are different in every country,  I am sure slots provider will do their best in order to deliver fair gaming.

I don't think Casinos make a distinction when it comes to prizes in relation to locations or specific regions. They basically do not operate in countries that do not allow gambling. They mainly follow the rules and only operate where the regulation favours them. What can sometimes happen is that some casinos operate in certain countries where there is a specific regulation and users in the country can only play with users in the same country, so in those cases, they may have different winning prizes. Even so, that happens because the market is a low size one and the prizes are played out accordingly.

regular casinos could easily do this as they have a lot of amenities that could ensure that someone couldn't go out of their casino easily. Free drinks, even free hotel stays for their regulars are some of the tactics that they employ to prevent gamblers from spending their money on a more fair casino. Oftentimes they cover it up as a "benefit." The same couldn't be said for online casinos, they do not have physical benefits  that could entice people to gamble more in their site, so there's no possibility, or a very little of it that they are rigging their games based on location.

Besides we need to think what could casinos gain by doing something like this? If it could be proven that casinos were doing this kind of distinction among their players then it would not take long for the gamblers which come from the countries which receive smaller payouts to simple leave that casino behind and move to a casino which was fair to all their customers.

Taking this into consideration I do not see how a casino would do something like this since I think it is even possible it could affect its reputation in the process.

I really don't know if relatively new casinos can do something like that, but I understand that the most reliable and reputable casinos don't do it, it's like they say, they would get into serious trouble, and they don't have any logic, because the majority of casinos that have to do with crypto, payments can be made in bitcoin, and a very high amount can be sent in Bitcoin, it is something that does not make much sense, the fact of thinking that in a certain country it is they have to limit I don't think so, maybe I would believe it if it is a casino that uses fiat for its transactions, already there or I would believe it because it is much more centralized and above all controlled.

Reputable casinos will definitely not be going to do it.

That's because they want to be known as a reputable and friendly to its customers so, doing this will make their customers turned off with how they act especially if it's about withdrawals.

People are becoming aggressive and sensitive when it's about this matter, so, a casino understands this that it can push a lot of customers away if they're treating them as if they always have a new rule every time someone withdraws.

I haven't heard about any casino limiting the amount they pay to some certain regions, the only thing I know is that some casinos are not allowed to operate in some regions and if you want to access it illegally then you will have to make use of VPN.
If a player wins big and he is being paid, if the local authorities wants to know his source of income he can easily show them that he wins a bet, since the casino is allowed in the country, I don't think anything is bad in that, they will have to free the player, but if the casino is illegal in the region, then they can freeze the user's account and he will face the punishment for that.

If the main issue is about location then in the first place, why they will allow users to the said locations you are referring to if, in the end, they might face a problem or issues? I don't think that there's an algorithm where the sequence would be limiting the possible max payouts of users depending on a certain location.

Reputable game providers won't surely create an algorithm like that.

May we know what leads you to think that something like that happened?

Maybe we can give more accurate responses rather than basic responses.

If ever online casinos are doing it, I don't think they will even disclose it. I doubt reputable casinos will do such manipulation since they value their reputation with their users, they will gain nothing from it. If an online casino is operating legitimately it will avoid any possible legal conflict it can with its users. That is why they require KYC, or even locate your IP to check which country where you are playing at to be able to block games that are not allowed in your country, or if ever you can play in the casino or not.

You are right because I know is that most casinos restrict players from some certain region because of taxes and other violations from the countries. There are some countries that do not allows gambling of any type whether online or physical. Just like some Muslim countries that abolish gambling by there citizens and gambling platforms had to restrictions to those regions from participating gamblers of any type which is normal to avoid sanctions.
The use of VPN comes in for any persons that want to bypass the restrictions to make some bettings.

Big winnings probably will be subjected for another KYC if you are a new player but if not I’m sure the site already trusted you since that is not the first time you won. Anyway, if a gambler uses a VPN and if its not allowed on that site I’m sure you will face problem to get that money and the worst is, the site will block you from playing since you are trying to avoid their restrictions. Big winnings will always be subject for investigation, so make sure to follow every rules to avoid any problem.

This kind of belief certainly exists among slot gamblers, but it may not prove true if you actually play at a reputable casino with a good provider too. I don't fully believe it, but indeed things like this have become a myth in slot games.

Have you ever been cheated by slots when you literally couldn't win anything in 100 auto spins?
I think you might be wondering why this is, but I don't know if a provider can be proven to be cheating its players in a single session.

I see no reason a casino should be acting so suspicious because I see no reason why a casino will limit first the amount to be played by some players from a certain location and still limit that winning potentials and odds fir the reason that they don't want suspicion which already a very suspicious act.
Before a casino especially an online casinos begins operation in a particular country, they have to first seek a certificate of operation which in details tells the casinos it's terem and the both parties comes to mutual agreement and a deal of operation is sealed.
What you said is mostly common with illegal casinos and a player like me wouldn't want to risk my money in such casinos.

I think this is very unlikely to happen.
And if there is any law that limits winnings, the casino needs to make players well informed about this and also limit the bets before this happens.
Limiting the bet is something very simple to do, because always before the bet, the system knows how much you are betting and what the multiplier is, so they know how much you can win if you hit. It would then suffice to limit the multiplier factor.
Any other way of limiting without the player knowing would be viewed with a lot of scorn by the community.

[Accardo]

Do you have any evidence that backs up this claim? Many online Casinos especially the live Casinos work under the provably fair policy and such things aren't expected to happen under this policy. Unless the Casino in question don't have provably fair policy then it's said to be possible. If you are having any doubt about the Casino you are using then go for another online casino and stake bets. But, generalizing on all online Casinos to be a part of this action, I don't believe your instincts are correct. Like every other persons, Casinos only restrict some regions from playing not from winning.

Since they are casino owners, they can change the code anytime, but this step is unfair to players. Though they can put up a disclaimer to gamblers in a specific country saying that they are limiting the rewards for the gambler's safety and that they will have no trouble withdrawing big money that they won, I am sure the gambler does not want this. I recommend to casino owners that they do not limit it because it is the gambler's responsibility how to receive that money, and you may lose customers if you do so because it is not fair to all.

There are policies every casino is expected to follow and online casinos are expected to follow the provably fair policy according to@ Accardo and I'm sure following a policy means they're also been watched.
As long as a casino is duly and fully register, then I see no reason being scared of legal over a winning of a customer because the government is supposed to be happy because of the tax that will be pushed to them.
All you've mentioned so far is very common with illegal casinos who try everything possible to stay hided but at the long run  still gets caught up with the law and also keep taking your money and when there is a big win they just vanish and give silly excuses.

If you mean the casinos are rigging the slots so player can't "win" more than certain amount  (after which they will start losing), then yes, that would be illegal and would be considered as scamming. If you are talking about the RTP, then it is same for everyone and the casino can set the RTP. But I doubt any slots would "restrict" or not let users from certain country win. Too much work and not worth the risk. Why would a casino destroy their reputation if they are the one that always win in the long run?

Some casino will find the person involved in the VPN scam, because few people doing that VPN scam to make big win from the casino. Sometimes some huge bucks winner will be found on such scam activities. Some people also involved in wring algorithms to crack the casino using the programs. But only few gamblers had a good program skills to win the match. Most of the people will get captured at their first game, then they will be permanently ban from the websites. Even they had 1 Bitcoin in their wallet, as per agreement everything get into company wallet. It doesn’t mean the company had scammed the person involved in the hacking. This should be essential one for now.

Casinos do not do it based on location yet some providers like Play n Go gives them the option to have changeable RTP thus making this provider give you some really really bad experiences that you can have that feeling that a certain casino is not giving you an advantage because of the location where you are.

This is absolutely not the case as the casinos just implement their house edge which is guaranteed to give them the win over the long run and they don't really care where you are from.In order to not get that feeling,play other providers like Pragmatic Play which does not offer changeable RTP so you know that you only had bad luck when losing and nothing else.
