A costly gambling mistake

[AicecreaME]

This is really one of the mistakes of newbies in gambling, not only in gambling actually, but in using other platforms as well.

Some people are not fond of reading, I'm well aware of that. Most people just nonchalantly scroll past the terms and conditions instead of actually reading it for their own benefit. Simply because some are too lazy to read and some don't really bother what's the content of it, so they just click the "I agree" button then proceed without knowing what they signed up to. It became a habit because some do not know how important to know the information stated in the TOS. Which results to having conflict to some of the rules imposed by the casinos and developers in general.

It's such a shame that some problems ratted out here and even inconveniences most people encounter could have been prevented if only they weren't too lazy to read the policies before agreeing to it. Hopefully though, people, especially the beginners will take seriously the TOS and read it with comprehension. Because it could really cost you so much if you are being negligent.

It is our responsibility as gamblers to read the rules in the casino. And each casino has different rules, so we have to make sure we understand the rules so we don't accidentally break those rules.

Most who experience problems like this are new to gambling and don't read the rules carefully. And when they had a problem and asked customer service, they finally understood that it was their own fault. That is why we must prevent this by reading the rules about what we can and cannot do while gambling.

I'd actually say at some sense casinos are at fault (some of them) since they sometimes intentionally put put notices like these in obscure places. I do understand that users need to read the TOS before anything else, but a friendly reminder can go a long way, say before your first time deposits or first time games.

I'd also blame the majority of the internet for this,. They pretty much made your average user to not think much of rules, especially on websites. Can't blame them though, TOS are sometimes so unintuitive that it's just an absolute pain to read, especially if English wasn't your first language.

[YOSHIE]

they are guilty because they don't read the rules and regulations.

I'm not sure for beginners or new users who visit online casinos don't read and know the rules or risk actions that arise for users in the future, and all the consequences that could occur in the future. I think only 20% don't read about the rules, because most of the rules notices in every online casino are either on the first page or easily visible at the start.

So, that's why many users, when they lose bets, often corner certain gambling sites for various reasons.
I think the factor of someone losing control and going berserk is not a factor of not reading the rules, but there are other factors.

If my understanding is that this factor lies in the economy, try it or just for fun which leads to addiction, try again and try again, in the end you lose control. I think that's the main reason, many gambling circles ignore the rules, preferring imagination with the goal of wanting to win big and lots of money, not a few users who gamble create dozens of accounts, the goal is to get lucky with accounts A, B, C, D and so on, ending up losing everything.

The most popular mistake that newbies make with online casinos is avoiding the rules and regulations, not all online casinos will put up a warning sign on their first page and say 👇

"New users are welcome, please read our rules and regulation before making your first deposits"

You have to look for the website FAQ and go through it first, I have seen some newbies that avoid doing this has they ended up shooting themselves in the foot.

Some even start spreading FUD on the forum about these gambling platforms that did them wrong, not knowing that they are the ones at fault, they are guilty because they don't read the rules and regulations.

This is a normal thing to happen. because, most gamblers are lazy to read the ToS or FAQ which is actually available as a guide for visitors to the casino or site.

Even to be honest, not infrequently "in the past" I also often ignored things like reading ToS or FAQ from a site or casino. but over time, plus the need for knowledge. things like this, become a part that should become a habit. especially, for us gamblers. so that we don't experience obstacles, and feel confused ourselves. even though most of the cases that become a problem for gamblers, are things that are usually trivial in nature. but because of our indifference, which ultimately makes us trapped in our own confusion. But, I don't think that's too much of a problem. because, armed with a mistake will give us new knowledge.

If everyone are read the terms of service of the casino, I'm sure most people will not want to gamble because they will find a rule where the casino didn't explicit about everything like the way they consider cheating, the punishment you will get if you broke a rule, and other thing that you think the player is getting disadvantage while the casino seems get edge over the rule. Just focus of few things like minimum deposit, maximum withdrawal, fees, KYC, banned region etc, multiple account, don't need to read all.

First thing I check when registering on any gambling site it's their terms of gambling, how comfortable they may be for me as a gambler and if am not okay with it I keep off. This is money issue we're dealing with here so no time is a waste one using it to read through instructions and T&C's so to keep yourself from being taken unaware anytime

I always did but not going all through of it, you can just hit CTRL+F and then look for the keywords that needs to be filtered. It's a hassle, yes, but it wouldn't cost you 10 minutes if there's some filtration you do. If you can't read it on the time you join at least read it after you gamble your money and want to deposit once again.

Do you think the terms of service you've read it all wouldn't changed in the next few days later? the casino have a right to update or change any rules without letting know every of their gamblers, do you think you will visit the terms of services everyday and read all the terms of services again? I doubt you will do it because it's really a time consuming and our life isn't only for gambling.

This a nice reminder to every gambler out there especially the new ones.
Not everything can be seen in plain view and let us avoid regretting it when the time comes that we just found out it's part of the TOS. Not just the FAQ's but also going deep into having knowledge about the deposit maximum for a specific account level and then the withdrawal minimums.
Then, there are the transaction fees when we are using cryptocurrencies. Once we are in, deposited money, we have to make sure that we are just paying the right amount when we exit too.
Before, I experienced 50k satoshis of withdrawal fees. Imagine if that kind of online casino is still doing the same number. It's a large amount for just tx fees.

Well, from an ethical standpoint, it would be better if a lot of these online gambling casinos put in a sign for newbies like that. It would be just as ethical as not writing a terms and conditions in tiny lettering.

While many of these complainers are just complaining about losing money after being caught breaking the rules, a large percentage of the complainers are actually just naive people who should have had the terms and conditions shown to their face with the warning that rule breakers would not get their money back.

I think if the casinos put up a warning like that, everyone would read the rules.

But that might not be the most profitable option, for the owners...

This can be very costly I completely agree. Some casinos have very strict rules about what they allow like unintentional use (forgetting about) of VPN can get you instant and permanent ban with all your assets frozen. Its definitely not cool to experience but there are rules imposed by casino and country which casino is based in. So everyone is obliged to follow rules so you cannot claim that "I didn't know". KYC is something imposed by casinos because it actually protects not other way. Details must be read.

Mouthwatering and attractive bonuses most times blind the mind of some gamblers and they fail to read the terms of service. They fail to understand that not reading the terms and conditions might lead to costly mistakes that will lead to regret. Reading the frequently asked questions will expose newbies to dos and don'ts of the casino company. Some of them has withdrawal and deposit policies that are different from others. Government policies might differ because of type of government. Another important aspect that should be considered is the KYC policy of the casino. Some of them promotes privacy while others require personal information.

There are really times that we're lazy too read long TOS but we should require ourselves to read everything before registering because it might affect our journey in the long run.
They say that the only excuse to the law is being an idiot so we should never say that we never knew that we are already violating their terms of service. We are risking our funds here so right from the beginning, we should be responsible for our actions. This is actually the common mistake of gamblers who fail so we must learn from others' mistakes.

We must do that before registering on a casino site because we want to avoid things we don't want. By checking the rules and regulations of the casino, we know what we have to do and try to avoid making mistakes. And we really have to understand the rules to be comfortable playing and enjoying all gambling games.

After all, it does not matter if we try to understand the rules as it's in our best interest because if we make the casino our favorite one, we want to protect our account from any problems that could arise. We can ask customer service if there is something we don't know.

Indeed, most of us are guilty of this mistake. And this doesn't apply to just an online casino; we can visit and use the services offered by other websites too. It is only when the adrenaline rush has subsided, either when we lose big or encounter a KYC issue or any other issue while using the website, that we retrace our steps and take the time to explore the website. Which include reading the FAQ, contacting or emailing their customer service agent about our queries, and reading the blog section of the casino website. This is a costly mistake that gamblers always learn from personal experience.

Not only the FAQ, but users must also read the TOS to understand how the casino operates. Some questions that should be answered before making the first deposit are:

1.- Does the site allow my County?
2.- Does the site have a good reputation on the forum and trust pilot?
3.- What's the withdrawal limit?
4.- Does the casino has a valid gambling license?

It's important to have clear rules and understand how the casino operates before making a deposit because as OP says, we have seen a lot of times users losing their money just for not having clear rules.

FAQ is much easier to read but there might be some things who can only be found on the TOS so indeed that they must also read it. In your first question, there is no way we can make a deposit if our country is unsupported because by the time we access the site we will see something like "sorry..,, blah, blah". The second one is already understood by everyone.

On number 3; I believe that many of us disregard this and we mainly focus on the minimum deposit but no doubt the minimum deposit is also important and must come first because there is still no assurance that we can win and withdraw. The last one may not really be important but many us can prefer casinos with no license because they don't usually have a KYC and many of them are still legit.

In many countries censorship reaches a very high level due to the fact that the authorities do not allow dissent and try to keep power in their hands as tightly as possible, so the citizens of such countries are forced to use VPN on a regular basis. And using a VPN you can easily register on many gambling sites (even which prohibit gambling for citizens of your country), but most likely you will break another rule - the ban on the use of anonymizers on the Internet. So you should always read the TOS and follow it.

Main behavior on which applicable for most people or specially on gamblers on which we are really that lazy on reading up terms and conditions on which this is an important thing before on dealing up with something

specially when you are really that tending to make some deposit into some site or does simply involves money.It is really that important that you should really be that considerate on reading up things so that you wont really be that missing the most important thing which could potentially put you up into some problem when you do able to violate it just because you hadnt just read it up.

People would be only making out realizations on the time that they would be experiencing problems.

I don't know of any gambling site that don't live you an accord box to there T&C to click before processing a registration. It's protocol for all registered gambling sites as a means to ensure the rules guiding the sphere is followed squarely and for there protection as well.
Apparently, it's mostly ignored by users due to an adrenaline rush to register and start gambling with immediate effect and they have no idea on what they've agreed to.
It's always annoying and funny to have them come up with theseaccusations at times on confiscated funds and frozen accounts. It's always up to users most times and if you play by the rules, the rules would surely guide you. When you don't play by the rules, it would be used in prosecuting you.
