A costly gambling mistake

[qwertyup23]

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.

Have you ever played an online game or registed into a website that asks you to check the box if you have read the T&C of their game/platform? Majority of us just fill or check it despite not reading all of it due to its long and somehow pointless use. But the true effect is that once you have committed a breach on their T&C, it is prima facie for them that you have read and understood their regulations that would warrant your prohibition.

At the end of the day, avoid doing actions that would warrant a breach on the T&C of a gambling website. Even if you did not read everything, just avoid the things that could generally block or ban you from their platform.

This is too general you should have mentioned the specific mistake resulted from not reading the rules and regulation of a gambling platform. To give you some, betting multipliers is usually being a mistake by new players wherein they tend to just click and qill be surprised that their bet is that huge already. If it wins ofcourse they'd be happy otherwise, that'll be a huge loss.

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.

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.

In most of the applications and platforms we are all guilty of not reading the ToS simply because it is too long. Fortunately, I haven't had any problems regarding this concern. But indeed, since we are talking about money, that should be an enough reason for us to take extra caution with our actions. An alternative with reading rules and regulation is simply asking other players to be aware of something you know nothing about. It won't cost you a dime from doing so.

You're not talking only about newbies because even if someone who's been gambling for years with crypto casinos, you'll find out that many of us don't read a lot and just hit the register button so fast.

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.

It's their problem that they don't look back at the rules that they need to remember for them to stop spreading FUD. But it's like a revenge act for those frustrated gamblers and that's the retaliation that they do. And that's what we can blame for them by being hasty to not consider themselves that they're at fault.

This is one of the difficult side many of us that are gamblers do not want to put our attention and it's is when things goes wrong that we will want to know why the casino we have been using took such a firm decision against our winning. It is very important for us to keep writing terms of condition when we want to register on a site that we will use for something serious. I have made this kind of mistake before and I know how it tell on me because I was not ready to do the right before reading the terms and condition of a particular site I was using to trade before now.

It can't be avoided for new gamblers as they don't want to spend more than several minutes during the registration process but they usually learn from their mistake or through the mistake of others so they should be fine.

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.

That shortcut is always helpful when you're about to go through the terms and conditions page of the casino you're playing since they're always long and the sections you're looking for might be at the middle or bottom of the page.

[alegotardo]

The FAQ are frequently asked questions, it is different from ToS or T&C (Terms of Service or Terms and Conditions). The FAQ is short but consists of the questions that users are often asked which may contain many things about the ToS too but not all.

On every site you are registering, be it gambling site or not gambling site, the ToS page would be displayed and you have to scroll down and you have the check ✔️ it that you have read it, but they are always too long which discourage many people to read it. But very important to read.

I know I'm not sure, but I hardly read the entire T&C, I usually pay more attention to the parts that talk about deposits, KYC requirements and limits.
I'd like to know how many players here actually fully read KYC, but I believe that's a topic for another thread with a poll.

The FAQ, on the other hand, is quite attractive for those who want to have a quick and superficial overview of the functioning and main rules of the site, this one I always read and in fact I think it is very valid because it is usually a quick read.

I believe that every site should have a simplified T&C, without too many technical terms and in a summarized way, covering the main and most important topics of the rules.
This document does not need to be legally valid and should not replace the T&C, but it would be very interesting to "facilitate" users' understanding and even make more players aware of the rules before starting to play.

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

I've been gambling in an online website for some time already, and TBH, I didn't bother to visit their Terms and Conditions, or FAQ's whatever it is. Even I'm a newbie, I didn't visit or read this one, and I'm pretty sure that the newbies are doing the same.

This quote isn't applied only for the newbies, but also for the gamblers who are gambling on their website for a long time. I mean I'm pretty sure that there are some long time gamblers out there who didn't even have a time to read their rules and regulations. What gamblers are thinking more is the potential profits that they can make rather than the security or the TOS of the website, and when the worst thing happens with them, they will post a scam accusation here, or they will rant somewhere else, and will share their story.

At the end of the day, this quote still isn't helpful for newbies if they don't know how to control themselves whenever they're gambling.

[Fundamentals Of]

But new users are asked to agree to the terms and conditions of the casinos before signing up right? They shouldn't be reminded anymore to read the rules and regulations when they're already members, because upon signing up they are already presented with the rules and regulations. All they have to do is read them. But are they reading them? Probably not. Many are guilty of this omission including myself. But at least I'm not spreading FUD due to ignorance.

This is a habit that new players have, and it's not only in casinos or gambling I have no idea what people typically think when they skip reading the rules and regulations, which is why it usually doesn't work out well and you see them breaking the rules or losing money. Because they neglected to read the forum rules, most newcomers end up being banned from the community. It's either ignorance or negligence.

It's very important to know the rule of any game this is also applicable to casinos or gambling sites unfortunately a lot of newbies gamblers probably ignored the rules and regulations guiding the site unfortunately jumped into gambling, of course if there is any shortcomings in a event of a gambler wining big unfortunately couldn't receive their payout due to rules broken definitely the casinos or gambling sites will ultimately make reference to those rules which makes it difficult for any lawyer to defend their client, I hope newbies will learn to read all the  how important rules and regulations guiding any gambling site.

New users are indeed asked to agree to the terms and conditions of the casino before registering but not many of them want to take the time to read the terms and conditions already written at the casino.
Most new users will immediately register, log into their accounts, and start depositing money to play gambling.
This makes many people have trouble when they want to withdraw their money because they think that the terms and conditions have just been made even though it is their fault for not reading the rules.
Even things like this also happen to people who have often played gambling in many casinos and it seems that we underestimate this rule and are not careful to read it.

This is a habit that new players have, and it's not only in casinos or gambling I have no idea what people typically think when they skip reading the rules and regulations, which is why it usually doesn't work out well and you see them breaking the rules or losing money. Because they neglected to read the forum rules, most newcomers end up being banned from the community. It's either ignorance or negligence.

Some are not ignorance or negligence, some people only want to take advantage of some promotional offers, especially the newcomer 100% deposit reward, some people do not use it to joke and they can like to create more account to collect more offers for deposit because the offers are limited to certain amount of money in some gambling sites. The last gambling site I opened recently to take advantage of the offer, it was limited to $133.

Some people are from banned country but they want to gamble and if they use some of the gambling sites, they may be able to gamble, but if they win, the gambling site will check for all these and if found to be playing from a restricted country or having multiple accounts, they will not let him be able to withdraw his money and also ban him from using their gambling site.

In these scenario above, you can see how some people may know the terms of service but just want to be smart.

[QueenVera]

I personally can relate with this very senerio because I already feel very guilty of this very act because it seems most of the gamblers always ignore reading the terms and conditions of most platforms and suddenly turn up with allegations based on their assumption tarnishing the names and reputations of a casino that has worked so hard to earn such.

Some other players don't really fluant all this rules because of ignorance but rather because of selfishness and greed and just as other users said, most times people want to claim some promotional offers and bonuses and just go straight to making deposit without proper investigatio.

This has a point.

Most people already knew what is stated in the TOS, yet they still choose to break it because they want to take advantage of the promotions and bonuses. This is common and rampant in sign up bonuses and free spins wherein players create multiple accounts just to get those perks for newbies when they aren't newbies and it's already stated that it is prohibited to create multiple accounts. Sometimes, the people who even rant are those offenders. Which is really courageous of them since they had the guts to even complain of the suspension or banning of their accounts, knowing it to themselves they did unusual activities which lead to their account being compromised.


To cut it short, some people are not ignorant or stupid, rather they just want to make the most out of something they saw worth profiting.

They also forgot to read the gambling policy, it is annoying when you see gambling with legal documents page that states their terms and condition but I think the best thing any newbie to any gambling will do is to go through that documents, to avoid unnecessary stories. Most often than not, those problem newbies usually encounter with Casino is because they failed to read simple instructions like avoidance of multiple accounts, use of VPN, and doing KYC. All these agreements are written there for players to see but the general orientation they lack is they don't read these documents and voice out later that they are been cheated.

[TheGreatPython]

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.

Why is the internet to be blamed for users who don't bother reading rules or terms and conditions? I don't think that any service or website that offers something that involved monetary value doesn't encourage or ask its consumers to read its rules or terms and conditions. In fact, online services encourage reading terms and services more than traditional service providers.

I think only a user is to be blamed if they don't read the terms and conditions and then get stuck in a situation that wouldn't even be if they had read them in the first place.

[maydna]

I know what you mean where most of the newbies who gambled in an online casino is not following the casino's rules and regulations or terms and conditions which could lead them getting banned or never getting their winnings if won. When a person create an account in a casino that person is required to check it which is toknow the reason why people should checked it. Not reading the terms and conditions would lead to that situation or the reason why newbies mameya mistake.

That's because most beginners don't check the casino rules and register directly with the casino. Even though this is important for those who are still beginners so that they slowly learn to understand the rules and don't get into trouble later, and if they already know the rules, they can play calmly and maybe follow the promos in the casino properly. And when they want to withdraw their winnings, it won't be a problem because they haven't violated any casino rules. So no more people complaining that the casino is cheating them because they can't withdraw their winnings.

[Mauser]

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.

Every gambler should fully understand what he gets into before he deposits real money at a casino. The first step would be to learn about the games we want to play. We can find out or winning chance and the house edge with a quick Google search for any game. Most of the casinoe use very similar games, so we can compare across different platforms. Just because we don't understand something won't save us from losing our money. Also many casinos offer play money to test their games before using our own money. The next step is to read the terms and conditions of the casino where we want to play. Especially when we want use special promotions it's important to read all the details, otherwise me might try to withdraw money before we are even eligible for it.

[alastantiger]

It is obvious that one of the reasons newbies make huge mistakes in an online casino is because they neglect the do and don't of the game. Forgetting that there must be a set rules for every gambler. The first thing any gambler should do is to go though the
Not just the newbies but also to everyone who plays online casino. And it also advisable to look at the guidelines of the the game as iy may change with time. This will help you not to default as there are penalties to any defaulter of the rules.

Most gamblers don't read it anyway. Of course it's advised to read all the rules before depositing money, but realistically it's not feasible for most gamblers to read a long text of terms and services on every platforms they have an account. I think an alternative solution would be to search directly for key points in particular inside the rules, especially regards countries restrictions, number of accounts per IP, VPN usage, and account inactivity.
