What is your worst nightmare in a casino?

[letteredhub]

I found out there are gamblers who couldn't access their win money because they lost their bet slip (ticket) that contains the bet code that will signify you're the authentic owner of the won game. That's the kind of worst nightmare I never wish should happen to me or anybody I know of as it could be painful and depressing at the same time. Many stories I have heard of patterning loss of bets lip, this one was that the wife took her husband's clothes for laundry not knowing one of the trousers has a bet ticket inside the pocket and that was how it was washed of and the paper destroyed, but then all those games in the ticket played but the man couldn't lay claims because he has no evidence to tender for ownership. What a night that is!

There is nothing that I am afraid of. My country makes gambling legal and the gambling sites that I am using do not restrict my country. I read gambling sites ToS carefully. I get verified if necessary. If I win a jackpot, I am expecting the gambling site to pay me the money. But what I can be afraid of is if the gambling site is not capable of paying the money. But I use gambling sites that have huge amount of money and that are capable.

Sounds like you barely read to the end of the topic, he isn't serious about it just a mere assumption, yeah gambling is legal in many countries, doesn't mean you ain't got no nightmares you are afraid of, what about losing all your earnings to gambling wouldn't that freak you out or lers say you mistakenly linked your casino to your bank account and pit it on auto fund of a huge amount like 100k and then you went in and used in all on a game and you lost, I bet that is a nightmare 😉

I don't know but it seems that yes he didn't pay much attention or maybe he explained from another point of view that we don't really understand, but we are back to the main topic where yes I will admit that nightmares or unexpected painful things still have the possibility to happen which maybe there are some gamblers who have experienced it and also maybe there are some other gamblers who are still in a situation of concern.

But from what you said it seems that it is not entirely a nightmare that comes unexpectedly but something that is done intentionally because of not being able to control his gambling activities, for me the real nightmare is when I get a big jackpot but the casino is unable to pay it which makes me have to be in a situation of annoyance and pain, but if basically all the triggers for such events to occur are you doing it then I think it is purely your own fault for not being able to control gambling activities.

I’m talking about the potential problem that you might encounter in the casino. Personally,  My worst nightmare that I don’t want to happened to me is when I hit huge jackpot while the casino investigate my account ask documents that will support my financial capability on gambling.

I’m only reading this issue on scam accusation but this is painful if happened to me like hitting max multiplier on slot games that result to 50K profit. Can’t imagine finally hitting my dream multiplier then casino seize my profit. This is just an abstract discussion so we are not really assuming that casino will do this especially the reputable casino.

I don't get what you are talking about.  If ypu are playing slots and win big presumably it's not too much money that you played with but hit a big jackpot.  Amd either way if that's a thing why couldn't you just say it's from your savings.  And what's the threshold where they say the funding wasn't "legitimate" and take your winnings.  Don't think in a brick and mortar casinos in the US that could happen.  They make you sign tax papers but that's for payment, there is no check into your personal finances or job history.

The fear in casinos is the ethics of loss control. In the sense of not being able to control yourself and leave the casino, both online and offline, properly. Money management is very necessary, but sometimes it really loses control when you are too busy in the casino. That's because it can make us addicted, and addiction is something I'm quite worried about.

Really interesting conversation here, some fears stemming from psychological reasons, some due to not enought information. For me, it's more like I get worried about not being able to stop gambling when I should. And you say it so nice. Really, it isn't just about finances, it's more about crossing the line from pleasure to addiction. But sometimes its hard not to get too excited about both wins and losses.

Honestly loosing ones ticket or betting slip is as same as forgetting the password to your bank account or mobile device, one cannot have access to the bet made except he has the slip, another alternative is when he has the unique reference code for that, then such gambler may use that to login into his account and reprint his slip using the reference code, some can as well access such through their device if they have the code as well, but without any of these, the game is forfeited and no recovery to that no matter what the amount may be.

I think this kind of incident will never happen in an online casino since all the bet are digitally stored on our casino account.  The worst thing that might happen is a glitch that may not consider our bet and marked it as null or void.  It is indeed depressing to experience such thing but the lose of the betslip(offline betting) is the bettors fault and not the gambling provider's.

They are not the same because forgetting a password can be resolved by talking to the support staff of the site and ask for the password reset, while losing a betslip will never be fixed by talking to the people in authority.  Once a bettor lost his betslip and the so called unique reference code, it is the same as not betting.


It is indeed a worst nightmare if one has hit a huge amount of money and not be able to withdraw due to some unfounded allegation of the casino jut to deny the player of its winnings.  It is also the thing that I wish not to happen to me.

how can a casino withhold their players' winnings even though the winner is quite rich, don't want to lose to a casino that cheats your winnings.  my biggest fear when playing at an offline casino and winning some money is that i will be robbed, but my biggest fear when i win some money at an online casino is that my account will be blocked for no reason by the casino owner.  i often hear that in countries where gambling is legal, players are strictly protected and casino owners cannot do as they please with players, but i hope nothing bad happens to me when i play in offline or online casinos.

There's absolutely no evidence of gambling for these huge losses made by one tough gambling addicts? The big question pops up? How can we save him and not record him?There's enough evidence holding him already, he's having no clean records on the contrary. What could be more challenging and frightening than watching your profits vanished before your own very eyes. Gambling and pointing out the usable games but keeping it lowkey should be our targets, can't afford to be the top trends on Twitter or on any blogs.

I almost don't have any nightmares because I always choose to bet at several trusted casinos on this forum even though I thought the same as you said, but after seeing large withdrawal traffic, there were even those who withdrew very large amounts of funds but didn't have any problems at all. my favorite casino, I feel more comfortable and think more positively.
and on the one hand, thoughts or nightmares like this I can easily banish from my mind by looking at myself that I am just a small bettor who will not possibly get big profits whereas I always bet small amounts of course when I get a big multiplier. certainly not as big as rich gamblers.

maybe that's the only thing that makes me gamble comfortably because we gamble to have fun and try our luck to get a big multiplier and if we always think about these nightmares it can affect the pleasure we get will be reduced because we are always uncomfortable and worried if that happens.

Worst nightmare for me would be that I'm accused by the casino of cheating and that casino isn't your typical casino but a mobster or mafia owned casino, that's going to be anyone's nightmare I think especially if you didn't do any of the things that they're accusing you of, you'd be scared to death of this one, your imagination will be going through all the worse things that they're going to do to you just to make you pay for what you've done.

I guess that you're watching too much mafia movies but this is truly scary. I've seen real life situations like this that lives were being compromised because of some "big" people inside the organization and the gambling industry.

Anything can happen like kidnappings, bribery and all of those scary stuff and that's why I just want to remain as a casual gambler and don't want to get involved with those kind of bigger pots.

Well, what I am about to say probably not a worst but can be said and conclude that it is and when it is when I see my wife do it and we meet inside the casino premises.

Almost every day is a nightmare for me. I always use a reputable casino and my winning has never been withheld but the truth remains that losing funds to the casino is a nightmare especially funds that were initially kept to be used for a better purpose. Every gambler has a sad experience because you must lose and some lose hits harder than others. There is an experience I had with the casino that I cannot forget in a hurry. I was heading home from work and my director gave me money to buy some items that we would use for work the next day. Before the close of work, a friend called me that I should meet him up at the casino after work. I stopped to check up on my friend but he wasn’t there. When I called him, he said I should wait for him and that he would be there in a jiffy. I waited and started gambling. I lost the money my director gave me and was pained. I became angry at my friend and everything then appeared like a setup. I had to use my savings to cover up to avoid losing my job. Isn't this a nightmare?

The only way a gambler can escape losing in gambling is to stop gambling. As long as you gamble, you must lose money. That is the only certainty in gambling. However, to avoid reacting negatively you have to gamble with an amount that you can afford to lose. This is the only way you can live with the nightmare gambling creates in the life of a gambler.

Yes, that's true because the casino accused us of cheating. It may already happen in some places especially when there are gamblers who can win a lot of money from casinos. The casino will immediately check the gambler to ensure that the gambler is not cheating.

Maybe the casino has something to do with the mafia because the mafia also runs offline casinos. They do their business by running casinos as a place to make a profit.

That is why we have to be careful in choosing a casino and always ensure that the casino can be a comfortable place to gamble. We also have to be careful in using money for gambling and only use money that we can afford.

KYC should only be a nightmare for you if you know you can't comply with it and can't provide the required documents if you are asked for them because if you can comply with KYC rules and provide any document the casino asks, you shouldn't think of it this way if you know you have managed to win something significant and you can do anything to get it withdrawn. Can you say no to a KYC request by the platform if you have won $50k? You can't, right?

For me, the worst nightmare is probably winning something significant and then losing it all back to the house because of greed. I know it happens very often with every gambler with small amounts but if the amount is as significant as $50k or maybe more, you can't forgive yourself if you lose it all back.

Can you do me a favor by telling me the name of your country? 50k is too small for any casino to hold for any reason, if they are finding it hard to pay 50k then such a casino can't be trusted, I can call my lawyer on this and we go to court, this will be resolved in a court unless I don't have the rights, or I can't provide some legal documents.

You should always use a popular casino to gamble, you can't be struggling with luck for months and eventually you get lucky only to have problems withdrawing your rewards, thats going to be a very bad feeling, always use a online casino that you can trust.

I have no real nightmare with gambling because I dont put too much interest in gambling, would have if its worth it, but making money this way isn't real so I tend to gamble using small money to have fun, I have battled with realism and fantasy in my early days when I was young, gambling doesn't fit as something that can work out if you devoted much of your faith and mind on it.

Gamble responsibly.

When I was younger my worst nightmare in gambling was always going broke. Watching my strategies fail and seeing my whole bankroll disappear in front of my eyes was giving me nightmares. This was probably due to the fact that I only focused on roulette in the beginning of my gambling career and used martingale based strategies. I always found it easier to follow a fixed strategy instead of making up my mind every round on its own. The problem of course with these martingale strategies is that you can go broke if your initial bankroll is too small. Before betting any money I waited for 5 times the same color coming and then I would start betting on the opposite color. My biggest fear was that I would lose all my money when the one color trend continues and to only see my color come after I had no bet left. With one win alone I would have recovered all my previous losses and falling short one single bet would have been devastating. Luckily this never happened to me and now I am much more cautious with my bankroll management to avoid going broke.

I remember the first time I submitted my passport as one of the KYC documents, I was really concerned but then, it meant that I either submitted it or let go of the amount I won from the slot game.

Inherent risk of having our money held at ransom at the cost of our personal documents. Indeed such things are bad things about online casinos and I dont see any good way out from this situation. The worse thing is that it can happen with anybody, but law abiding citizens are usually not getting into trouble, but you never know.

Do you think a way to reduce the probability of this risk is to stick to only 2 or max 3 crypto gambling websites since using more than of these websites means that you are exposed to more risk of your data being leaked?

It does not make any difference in my opinion. One site getting leaked is enough to get your info on the dark net and to those who need it for unscrupulous needs.

Best thing would be to avoid gambling, which is possible but difficult for the members of this forum.

Banned in the gambling sites. Two of them, the most reputable ones. That will be my worst nightmare especially if I have funds left in the account.
And to make it worse, I will be starting from scratch on another gambling site before I receive their promotion and bonuses. I don't like to go through that rigorous phase again.
The incentives of a VIP rank are so good that I don't want to start all over again. I know both gambling sites that I entered are both reputable ones so I guess they will be here for the next 10-20 years more.
There are gambling sites out there which was made with better UI and almost a futuristic design but still, I don't like jumping from one to another or two in my case. Just the two will be enough and reputation is still far better than just a better UI.

Well. I understand getting banned for your both prefered casinos could be a nightmarish situation for anyone, specially if you happen to hold a good VIP account on those casinos which took you years and hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to reach that VIP status. But there far worse things which could happen, in the case of online casinos specifically.
What if someone from the regulators and intelligence agencies made a mistake and targeted/flagged your KYC documents as belonging to a member of a criminal/ money launder organization? Because of such big mistake, you would not only be banned from those two casinos, you may not be able to summit your personal documents again in other casinos on the internet without the staff of those sites to ban you immediately.

That is the kind of nightmare I would never wish anyone to go through, what do you think? Don't you agree? 😰

Note: I am aware it would be very unlikely for it to happen, but since the flagging system is managed by people, there is always a chance.
