Do online casinos disadvantage some locations from winning big

[Cookdata]

They forcefully access it because these people are heavily addicted to gambling already and I think they already know what will be the consequences about it once they get caught out. It's either their winnings will get forfeited or worse they will be arrested because there are also gambling sites who ask for our KYC. They are lucky if they will still get paid but I think the condition is that the winnings are only be reduced.

I don't know if there are people who are sincere that they don't about the restriction and they can be those people who whine up. This is why it's important to be always up to date on the news whether it is local or international.

Most times, that is not the case. It is not because people are addicted to gambling is the reason why they choose to use a casino despite banning some countries, the thing is that some casinos and bookies have more lower lines than others ones, and the lower the lines, the easier are they for your predictions to come out to be true especially the sportsbook and also some casino has some feature that others don't have especially some other versatile option you may choose to bet or flex your bets.
For example, today alone, I have gambled in 3 betting platforms, not because I can't do it all in one place but there lower lines vary and I like to explore some other options in some sportsbooks that others do not have, after all, gambling is all about the fun and entertainments.

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?

This is not going to be a factor in any normal casino operation. In that scenario the entire blame and required explanation would rest on the shoulders of the player, the casino would not have liability in that scenario. Casinos often ban entire countries if the rules of the country stipulate that gambling is illegal and KYC sort of verification enforces it to indirectly protect the players. I don't know of any countries that have a threshold that says, if you win over this monetary amount we will take certain legal actions against you - they're either all against gambling or not. A person breaking the law and evading registration restrictions would be the only person to blame in this scenario. You also slightly misrepresent the power that prosecutors have because that sort of overreach and dictating what companies do elsewhere is not the norm.

I don't think an online casino will restrict a player from winning big based on the country where he is playing from,that is why it's online so that the casino can be accessed from any part of the world. If a casino wants to restrict, they will restrict the gamblers from a particular country not the funds to be won. Though the casinos are always making profit because of the house hedge.

Indeed. Legal casinos seem never to restrict any gambler from winning big, it is an unfair way. They only limit the gamblers from a few countries because of certain reasons and limit the age of the gamblers to avoid negative impacts on the young generation. These are common limitations/restrictions, it is the right way to make gamblers play properly. I think everyone accepts these, it is already notified even before the gamblers register on the online casinos.

Anyway, I never heard any casino preventing gamblers from certain countries to win big prizes. I think it is just OP assumption, he doesn't really understand the restriction/limitation on online casinos.

It is indeed an unfair way and we dont know if there are really that casinos who do have this kind of set up on treating up other countries or players who do reside into those places which does have stricter laws

and regulations in towards gambling casinos but if we do really see up on how things to be done then it is really that somewhat complicated on making some exemptions or trying out to alter
considering on how many users would be going in and out on a certain platform.

Its unlikely to have this kind of method or treatment in towards players who do play into those vicinities.

I am sure that what you are describing is not only frowned upon by the authorities and casino regulators, but it is also quite illegal for casinos to do. I doubt any legitimate casino would try to risk their entire business over some extra profit. Especially when they are being controlled and hounded by people whos sole job it is to weed out bad actors in that particular business.

Don't get me wrong, I think casinos will try to do the sneakiest, dirtiest things to gain more profit but only when they are moving in a legal area. Rigging the games in such a way is undoubtedly not legal though.

Quite right. It is very strange to me that in general one would somehow think that some casino would do this and risk its reputation (on which the whole business is built). If the casino has difficult problems with the authorities of some countries, then it is more profitable for them to simply block access to users from these countries and do business where there are no problems. Coming up with criminal schemes to "solve" problems in troubled jurisdictions is an extremely ridiculous decision.

[Bushdark]

Gamblers should stop and avoid looking for excuses to the failures for their winnings, there are no barriers be it small or big that can hinders a gambler from winning an online game henplayed, the ideology is simple, if you're good at doing it (gambling) there's high probabilities for you to win and if you jad problems with compliance to understand the ways it's been played, you may less have opportunities to win, location barrier should be in favour of those that are into offline gambling or casino house gamblings and not the online one.

I am still thinking why a company would want to limit the number of possible winners from a particular region because this look very irrational to me why without a good claim or fact.
 Although this is just like an opinion which I have not seen any atom of possibility in it. If a company decided to limit the amount a gambler could win from a particular region thwn that means there is something wrong somewhere. That would never be accepted and I would see that as an act of racism which is a big offense on the international law.
This a lone cam attract a big sanctions if discovered. It would be an act against humanity and the reason would never be condoled.

I follow that point, why risking your reputation by controlling something like thi and not just to completely block the access and not to allow people from jurisdicted area not to play. It's more logical to do business and established your reputation without any kind of risk like this, not sure though if the sites have that kind of issue.

But from a general point of view, if you want to established good business better to work without any issue with whatever that may rise along the way while managing your business.

I really don't agree or think that geographical location is a problem when it comes to gambling provided the casino has the required license.
I had to have a rethink in this issue and I really don't agree with the fact that casinos use any form of algorithm to limit payouts to certain location except is a non license casino and you shouldn't trust any casino without a license because it's operating illegally and the worst can happen at anytime.
Firstly for a casino to operate in a certain place, there are certification and license they're required to have and at such there are jurisdictions they're also expected to abide by and I'm sure with those licenses they wouldn't have to fear any implications for any amount won as long as they can make the payment to the winner.

Issues will always be there and it's hard to avoid.

But when a casino got some issues from their customers, it is a way to become better and to make them offer a better service on which they fell short or lack of based from the issue that has been brought to them.

Issues are there for the business to thrive better. And those disadvantages that has been brought up should be resolved but then, these winnings are not based from our locations.

Then you have never really sifted through the pages of this forum to see that even huge casinos are trying to make the winners feel like shit in order for the winners to not claim their winnings. Even legitimate, land-based casinos are trying to prevent big wins from happening, just like this one wherein the casino tried to offer a steak dinner to a woman that 'won' $43 million jackpot on a slot machine. The casino and even the New York Gambling Board mentioned that the machine malfunctioned, but it's kind of a joke seeing that the machine only becomes broken when big wins happen.

Casinos will try their best to not give out big wins, and if you have never seen or heard of one, then you must not be involved that much in gambling for you to not know this.

I guess what you are trying to explain here above is quite different from what "O.P" meant as stated in the thread, because those are two different concept altogether. The woman who won this $43million took place on a land base casino 4yrs ago, of which the casino claimed that the slot machine had a malfunction, and for that, the winning won't be paid.
While, O.P is asking, Do online casinos disadvantage some locations from winning big? Which the answer is "NO" because no legally registered online casino will disadvantage any region from winning big, but can only restrict certain regions base on reasons best known for them.

Agreed. But I was made aware of the fact that casinos are mostly set up on places where people are likely more to spend. But geographically discriminating? I don't think so. If anything, I could attribute this as a gambler pinning the blame on someone or something for losing a lot of money on a certain spot and then winning a couple on the other. It's all a bias in your brain, like thinking that you have a certain lucky number. One must be responsible enough to reconsider his/her actions and what led them to that moment, and not blame anything but yourself. After all, you should've gambled knowing all too well that you most likely wouldn't keep all your money in one piece, otherwise why would you gamble in the first place, for profit?

The winnings maybe based on the location,I can say this because in the country I live in now I could access a casino I used to play before online up to 2020 or something like that and from that it went on blocked from all the ISP providers of this country so I was forced to use a VPN and used a better country when connecting like UK,France or Germany.The fun fact is that I got x3000 multiplier when I was playing at that casino when I was accessing it from the country I live in and when using the VPN-s with the mentioned countries I never saw the x3000 wins anymore,maybe a coincidence but who knows.

Do you understand that some jurisdictions are under sanctions? If a casino (most of whose business is under US jurisdiction) even obtains a license in a sanctioned country and starts operating there, then it will automatically lose all of its business, since violation of sanctions is severely punished. Even the creation of front legal entities and gasket companies is not an option in such situations, since the risk is not worth the profit.

The case you stated above seems not an online casino, it is an offline casino. And the case isn't the limitation of a certain country to win big price, but the casino refused to give the price to the gambler. It is not the same case (topic) that is described by the OP, it is a different case, dude. For the case you stated above, surely I already heard the same cases many times.

By the way, if there are online casinos that always try to not give the price to the gambler, I believe all gamblers will leave the casinos and will judge "scam" for the casino. The casinos won't survive a long time, a bad reputation will make the casinos to have no users.

that is no excuse for casinos to limit big winnings to one gambler. I mean if indeed a gambler wins big and usually will be asked for KYC and after that if it passes the verification, the casino will still give that win.
and regional or state governments have no right to know where the sources of these funds come from. but as a gambler who wins big, you should also be careful to enter into a local bank. because usually local banks have limited funds that will later be subject to state taxes.
so gamblers who can finally get big wins must be good at separating these funds at the local bank so that the state doesn't question the source of the funds.

[milewilda]

Yes, online casinos can disadvantage some locations from winning big. This is because many online casinos are based in other countries, meaning that the payouts, or Return to Player (RTP) percentages, can be much lower than a casino located in the same jurisdiction as the player. This means that players from certain locations may not have access to the same level of winnings as those located in other areas.

Are you sure about that?

Can you point out some casinos who had this kind of behavior on which lessening out players chances that out of their jurisdiction to win? I dont think that this is something to be applied because
its not something an ethical thing for you to do so as a business owner.Once the public would able to know such alterations then it would really be fucked up hard with your business
which is something that we dont really want to happen.

Whenever they are really trying to get rid of users who do have some legal issues then blocking IP's would be the case but there are ones who are really that stubborn
on trying out to access despite of prohibition which it would really be just right for the platform on taking such rightful step and action.

argue defending oneself in order to win is difficult. bookies that will always win in any case. many countries are legally legal in secret from anticipation of government pollution that is not appropriate, whereas on the contrary, there are only different ways to run this gambling business in secret. Gambling taxes are definitely there for non-transparent governments

I doubt casinos take the time to lower the chances of a gambler winning based on their location, sometimes we hear about casinos restricting some users because they are professional gamblers or sometimes even bans are issued as the gamblers are trying to abuse the bonuses given by casinos, but I have never heard of a casino giving worst odds or lower payouts for the same bet based on their country of residence, and if this was ever found out to be true a backlash would ensue so I doubt it will ever happen.

I also don't believe the casino will make a difference in winning odds based on location or country, all winning odds will be the same for all gamblers regardless of location, so that statement is just a person's assumption because he often loses in gambling and not a fact of actual gambling, all platforms the casino targets more users from all countries that are not prohibited under the regulations of each country.
