Casino Shutdown

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Share your experience from any and what happened that led to the shutdown, this will help us to learn and know how we could possibly prevent ourselves from any similar occurrences and remain unaffected in situations whereby it happened.

I have not had such experience before, in my country there's no casino that has been shutdown because of any activity like that, they don't even like to create or get involved in any activity that will put their business at risk because they already knows how much they business is generating for them annually, so it will be insensible of them to cause such problem for themselves. Online casinos can easily scam and create this issues for themselves but land based casinos are usually very careful.

If you ever experience a casino shutdown as a result of violence or illegal activities from a physical casino?

Talking about physical casinos and if you are talking about closures based on violence or illegal factors, of course this often happens in my area, there are at least several illegal and violent casinos that are closed by the authorities.

For this reason, illegal casino activity has now become a red flag and a strong warning, apart from strict laws, the punishment for illegal casino founders is no joke, up to 20 years in prison and a fine.
For casinos that often have riots and violence, if they don't follow the rules properly, they can also be threatened by the authorities, due to minimal security and the casino often breaking things down.

So casinos like that are often closed, but if it is safe and legal for me the casino in question will be safe.

I have not seen that happen but it could especially if there is a fight in that physical casino which makes the situation worse. The government can close casinos if there is a chance of violence or illegal activities especially if after they investigate further.

If you are in a casino and the situation starts getting worse, you should end your gambling. You must avoid trouble before the situation changes so you will not get the bad things. You don't know if the violence can harm you if you stay at the casinos. Leaving the casinos will be better.

Such happens, but just that mostly, it emancipate form the gamblers, which may resulted from extensively arguments at the casino, manipulations, assaults or any kind of causes to violence, sometimes, you discover some mafias there with sophisticated weapons they may use in case of any confrontation or attack, it could be weird at the casinos sometimes, especially at night, but don't be scared because it may applies to everyone of them in this way.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

Never heard or watch news like this, Casino with regulations and licence are very much prepared with those big wins.
You will be paid no matter what coz they will be punish by the law, though if we will include underground casino, I think there is a chance.

I think casino can easily make a loan to anybanks on that country if something happened before the bankcrupcy.

Many countries rarely see casinos get shut down because land based operators know how much money the business brings and they avoid anything that could threaten their license. they run strict procedures to keep out trouble because one scandal can destroy everything. online casinos are different because they can disappear and reappear easily and that is why scams happen more often there compared to physical locations.

Issues inside land based casinos usually come from the gamblers not the casino itself. arguments can escalate manipulations can cause fights and sometimes assaults break out when emotions run wild. in some places you even find groups with dangerous backgrounds hanging around the casino bringing tension and creating situations that feel unsafe especially late at night. Casinos at night can feel weird or unpredictable because the environment mixes alcohol money stress and frustration and those are the ingredients for trouble. but this does not mean every casino becomes dangerous for everyone. most visitors play and go home without seeing anything serious. being aware of your surroundings is enough to stay safe because problems usually arise only in specific circles not with ordinary players.

I have seen something similar happen, but not in a casino. It was a local betting shop in my home country, and that betting shop has been closed down till date.

That area has always been known as a den for criminals who come to rob the shop and the bettors there unexpectedly. On that particular day, a fight broke out because some brave bettors resisted the attack from the criminals, and everything escalated. There were lots of damages, and many people were left injured. The shop was shut down temporarily, but people were still scared of patronising the place, and it eventually shut down till date.

Casino shutdown is a common situation in countries where betting shops are illegal, but there are still clandestine casinos running their operations in apparently abandoned buildings. It always represent a risk for gamblers, because they might be inside the casino playing on the moment the police comes in to shut down the operations. Then there might be serious consequences for those gamblers, like fines, jail time or even moral prejudice towards the local community.

I think those serious consequences only happen to popular people especially influencers.

As a Average Joe, gambling in illegal casinos usually fine, it just you could have a problem when you want to withdraw your money through banks. Most of illegal casinos shutdown because they only break the countries laws, not due to not paying the gamblers or manipulating the system (probably didn't get caught yet).

Could it be that the OP is refering to gamblers who came to gamble and in the process had a fight for some personal reasons which actually escalated to a very violent scenarios that led to grave harm to some persons and as a result the casino had to shutdown their activities temporarily for fear of possible retaliation therefore allowing the authority to launch in and do some investigation to get to the root cause of the fight and possible solution.

If you ever experience a casino shutdown as a result of violence or illegal activities from a physical casino?

In fact, if you pay attention, you will see that most of the time, all kinds of dishonest businessmen and gangsters go and hang out in the physical casinos. All kinds of drug dealers are seen going to those casinos and hanging out, which is why when the police raid, it is seen that the raid is only done to catch those few people and the reason is that they are found to be somehow related to the casino owner.

Because of this, it is seen that government rules are being violated and these casinos have to be suddenly closed.

[Bright0515]

Am not referring to shutting down a casino because or license/regulations.
Neither am I referring to a shutdown as a result of bankruptcy or hack.

Here's what I meant.

In my country Nigeria there are many betting shops all around most developed cities and undeveloped areas. There are many betting agents with different land based betting shops, it's not risky to bet there but where the risk get involved is the prices whereby you won a huge amount of money, maybe millions which the owner of the land based betting shop have not seen before, they might run away with the money and you can not do anything to them because the owner of the betting platform does not know you. The only person they managed to know is the agent, and they don't even know them facial, but with their KYC they can be able to know little about them.
I have not experienced this before, I'm just saying based on my perspectives.

[khiholangkang]

I've never encountered it, nor have I read any articles about casinos being closed due to violence. However, if it's due to illegal activity, there are many. If I answer that, it would contradict your question. If it's considered illegal, it would be against the rules. That's like slapping yourself in the face, OP.

Even if it were, we already know that violence is common in casinos. It's important to research the casino's practices before entering to ensure your safety, just as we would research the reputation of an online casino.

The shop might be closed down not because of the violence but because of the fear that the robbers are going to be back to revenge. This must have been the reason why those people patronizing the betting shop decided not to come there again. Peoria aree tired of watch robbers take advantage of people trying to bet and make income for themselves and families.
Not all companies will be in operation forever and that is why many will fold up and stay out of existence.

I believe that serious, regulated casinos will never go through something like this. There is an entire structure to make everything work well, and for this to happen in a good casino is highly unlikely. Now, it can happen if there is something illegal going on along with the casino, but in that case it’s very easy to notice. Just observe the movement and the people who go there. That alone is a good filter to avoid going to those places.

[r_victory]

This happens, unfortunately casinos are still fertile ground for illegal activities such as money laundering, extortion, and even drug trafficking. In Brazil, we had gambling houses, called bingo halls, similar to casinos, and there was a lot of money laundering; not all of them, but there's always a bad apple in the basket. This was one of the factors that led to their prohibition…

[Chibit01]

Personally I have not witnessed any casino shutting down especially the ones which I’m registered with, the best way to survive such is just to try as much as you can not to be using any random casino that just popped out from anywhere, we should be more focused and get used to using famous and reputable one as most time some casinos which are likely to face such type of bankruptcy issue are the new ones which did not make better plans before coming in.

If casino have operated for long term difficult get shutting down and registering with trusted casino have million user already joined make us not worry will shut down suddenly. Never seeing any trusted casino have shutting down due bankrupt because they can earn much from user exactly the casino have registering by million user, important to filter when registering reputable casino, how long that casino have been launched until how many user already registering at that casino.

Having millions of users registered in the casino does not make them wealthy and immune to bankruptcy how long they have stayed could actually earn them enough money and trust from investors, some casino before they start up they have already gather up enough money to sustain the business for a specific period of time while they build a strong connection between them and their customers, players losses are big enough to cover up the day to day running of casino business but that should not only be the only hope to get money if not anytime their are streak winning from majority of users the casino will face great challenges.

This was few years ago, maybe that was in my HS time, but in my country a casino resort where attacked by a gun man and set a fire, it was Resorts World Manila where there is physical casino too. I'm sure it was a world news on casino/gambling related news. It was shutdown and licensed where halted due to the incident. Although the shutdown is temporary, due to some reasons and the resort is now rebranded.

You can't categorically call a betting shop as a casino. For me casino it's what it is, a traditional brick and mortar and not just underground or very secretive places wherein it is being operated by a gang or something and people are playing inside.

And I don't think that kind of setup will last that long, sooner or later, the authorities will know that place and then raided and close it down. As compare to a land base casinos wherein play can play freely without thinking that the police will be knocking on the door next.

[joniboini]

It was shutdown and licensed where halted due to the incident. Although the shutdown is temporary, due to some reasons and the resort is now rebranded.

What does halted mean? Can other casinos with the same brand not run their business normally? From what I read, it seems like the license is related to the hotel itself, not limited to the casino only[1] if we're referring to the same issue. The attacker was also a problem gambler with huge debt. I guess that also added fuel to the fire. It's impressive that the hotel managed to rebrand and operate again, though. I guess the "security lapses" aren't as simple as the hotel ignoring every security measure.
