Are casino rules applied fairly or only when it matters?

[Joy- maker]

I would like to raise something that many gamblers think about, but don't always say openly.

Everything usually works smoothly when a gambler is losing, deposits are instant no delays, bets are accepted quickly no one questions the gambler activity.

But the moment the gambler hit a big win things change all of a sudden,  his or her  account goes under review, KYC becomes urgent, technical validation are discovered, withdrawal are delayed, old terms are quoted and so on.

This act from casinos got me thinking, are casinos really enforcing rules consistently or do some of them become strict only when a payout becomes expensive?

casinos usually argue that, large withdrawal require enhanced security checks, Anti money laundering rules demand verification, fraud and bonus abuse detection system trigger reviews,  risk management is part of the business and so on.

But why are large deposits not questioned? all this things they argued why are they not applying them during large deposits?

Are you referring to the fact that the casino doesn't verify funds when a large sum of money is deposited into a gambling account?

It's obvious why. When a gambler tries to withdraw a large sum (previously won) from their deposit, the casino, of course, doesn't like it, because the casino loses money (despite the gambler winning fairly and within the rules). This is where "far-fetched KYC checks and other such things" come in, trying to find reasons why the casino can prohibit withdrawals beyond the deposit limit. Honest casinos that value their reputation try to do this within the rules (but still drag their feet), while dishonest ones simply block the account.

The casino wants your money to sit on their deposit and for you to voluntarily lose it.

Of course, there's no point in the casino verifying the money "at the entrance" when it's just deposited, because the money is "in their hands" (effectively, they are the current owners). All they have to do is wait for the gambler to make a "formal transfer" within the rules and gameplay.

its very simple. Crypto Casinos can't check immediately all deposits they receive. Imagine if they had to make a check also of provenance of transactions
they have to be compliant with "basic" regulation that of course allow only certain verification. it is good? it is bad?
the real problems arise due the "power" of these legacy. its really hard to prove any wrong doing and only few players (due high cost) could reach a court a find a settlement.

That's why it is important to stick with one gambling site, especially if they already have the reputation that you want, from deposits to withdrawals.

They will do those kinds of fishy things for new accounts. They don't want a gambler to walk away all of a sudden after winning in their first 1 to 100 bets. This is where the wagering requirement before withdrawal will come in handy for them.
I have once played in a gambling site that resets the wagered amount every day, and it sucks. One day you are losing lots of money, then the next day you win early but cannot cash out because you have not wagered enough. That's a bullshit rule and a bad feature, which makes a gambler lose more in a day because he is trying to win back everything before the reset happens.

Truly, some rules seem to be applied unfairly for their advantage only.

That's human nature for you, they smile when huge deposits are made because they're making profits but when it's time to pay out big wins, they frown and screen the account looking for fault to avoid payment. I think, the casino is after your money and they don't give a fuck about you.

This is why you should only gamble with the amount of money that you can afford to lose and make sure you stick to the casino ToS, complete your KYC  before making your deposite to avoid excuses from the casino that will deprive you from withdrawal of your big wins.

Here on the forum, we have pretty open discussions, and anyone is free to speak their mind...

Your comment feels more like a general impression than an actual case. I guess it would be much more useful to point to a real example... which casinos do that, what happened, what went wrong. Without that, this is just another "casinos vs players" story.

But the moment the gambler hit a big win things change all of a suddenly...

What is a "big win" exactly? We need to define that...

[Ochan_yazo_tochant]

This is exactly what happens most of the time to gamblers. When they join a gambling site without thoroughly researching the casino's reputation and the credibility of its management team, they will have to wait and submit all the necessary KYC documents before being allowed to withdraw their winnings, provided the winnings were legitimate and the gambling site is not fraudulent.

Actually thats quite common since process wouldnt be strict when it comes to deposit and obviously will be harder when you got a big win ( massive let say $10k and above) for withdrawals.

Based on discussion on forum since then most platform have KYC to avoid money laumdering amd some users who might cheating their system. Probably needed some verification to check the users win. Its quite fair to see if he/she actually did it fairly.

But the whole scenario is quite valid for discussion. I guess everyone is accustomed with this already. Yeah life is unfair!

This is not particular to casinos, every business cherished revenue while reducing cost as much as possible. If you studied financial accounting, you will understand why it is like that. Deposit is the revenue for casinos and they wil welcome this without much limitations. On the other hand, payouts are cost for casinos so they try as much as possible to minimise it. One of the ways they do this is through enforcement of KYC, tracking multiple accounts and other methods casinos use to ensure that genuine players that played by the rules have access to withdrawal. . I know that there are scam casinos out there that want tk keep even the money of genuine player.

This practice isn’t limited to casinos, it’s common among many exchanges and any other type of company that handles deposits and withdrawals
I’ve always been a strong critic of companies that accept deposits and then freeze the funds, or later request KYC, change the rules, etc

The most honest approach would be to request any information before the deposit, refuse the deposit, or refund it immediately if there is a problem

Regarding your question about casinos causing issues after a big win, honestly, it’s never happened to me, since I’ve never had big wins, hehe  , but if there are specific cases, please post them here

[Nwada001]

Once you have your own business, you will understand the mechanism at which these casinos are operating. As long as your customers are paying you and there is always profit coming your way, you won't consider the source of the money as something relevant, but once there is a major thing that will cause you to release a large sum of money, you will need to run another form of verification to make sure everything is correct. Every little piece of information matters at that moment. If the casinos will only take caution and check whatever they want to check and if the player is free from cheating and get them paid, I don't see anything wrong with that. Only those who don't like paying large winnings are the ones I'm totally against.

[Zigabel]

Some casinos does apply their rules when large deposits are made, as a matter of fact, some casinos do not allow certain amount for deposits, they have a deposit limit of which they will not allow you do at once and for withdrawal, if the deposited amount wasn't wagered, and it wants to be withdrawn, large amounts can trigger money laundry reviews in cases as this. Not all casinos stay silent through all the stages only to bring up reviews when withdrawals is about to be made, some brings it up as soon as they find a reason to nad it is very important bettors review terms before using a casinos so they do not fall victims.

[jcojci]

If the money comes to them, they will not check but if the money out from them, they will checking and making sure that the person is clean. You can use yourself as an example, you will not limit people to deposit as much money as they can. But when they withdraw a large sum of money, you will suspicious and do a strict rules.

Casinos have their own rules so we must understand that we willing to comes to their place and playing gambling. We realize that they can do anything to us especially if we abuse their system.

It's part of the profit that they will part so they will try to find any violation to stop the transfer of the funds to the player, and there are times that an enhanced security check finds flaws in the players' behavior, which gives them a reason to decline the withdrawal.

But why are large deposits not questioned? all this things they argued why are they not applying them during large deposits?

Casinos are profit-driven platforms, and any deposits can be considered potential profit, so some casinos will entice players to play, and if they lose, it's good for the casino's cause; if they stop players from playing immediately, and check the deposits, then the players will just transfer to other casinos that allow them to play immediately after depositing.

[CryptSafe]

It is obvious, though, but we all know that casinos are a business organisation and also a profit-making venture and would at all costs take advantage of any small opportunity they have to take anything beneficial to them, hence you see them always wanting to scrutinize big wins to see loopholes in which would call for account restriction and suspension or blocking so they could keep the money to themselves because they detest losing and would at all cost go a long way to stop anyone stopable from withdrawing their wins from the casino platform. This tactic is very common in businesses, as business owners wouldn't want to lose out on money that way. Every dime counts in a business, and proper scrutiny would definitely take place if any big amount is about to leave the vault of such a business, and all these are tagged to account and record keeping.

You don't expect every casinos to operate fairly to the users demands, some tends to be rigid while some are flexible but most importantly no casino would be at comfort that they're losing to gamblers so it's always the other way round. In most cases  such rules are to be flexible because users are always on the loosing end but it seems every other process goes smoothly so I think they ain't acting fairly but rather to their demands.

I think, the casino is after your money and they don't give a fuck about you.

Lol, you think? It's pretty obvious that a casino is a business being run by its owner, and the owner needs our money, because that's profit for him and his business, and he will surely not like it if his business have to pay others money from the revenue they have generated even if it's not coming from their pockets but from the funds they are making from other gamblers. A functional casino with a good user base will never be at a loss, because they adjust the big wins and everything according to the budget they have, so it's not like they are not capable of paying the amount if needed, but it's just not good for business, so they do their best to prevent it if possible.

If you are running a business, and you make $20k a month from it, and then you are asked to pay $5k from that back to customers, would you like it? No, you wouldn't like it even though the money is going from the revenue or profits, it could still be yours or used for the business but you had to give it away. That's exactly how it works with casinos.

And of course, I somehow agree with OP that rules are not always imposed when someone wins the way they are imposed when someone loses or makes a large deposit after one loss. Casinos should also question the person where funds have come from when they are depositing it.

[Bitcoin Smith]

Casino will also put the account for security checks for large deposits when they just try to withdraw it as soon as back like completing 1x or 2x with the easiest game this gives an assumption that their intention is to launder the money not really to gamble. And even if it looks unfair the casino got the right to do whatever the account looks suspicious to them and more often it found to be the one that win a big amount and tries to withdraw. Coincidence I guess.

[crwth]

Basically, some casinos are just in it to get money. I think there are differences between different countries, unless they have the same licenses or regulations. You cannot really do anything about it because it's within their rules. Always about withdrawals.

Maybe if they have a threshold on an amount, maybe there are already AML checks. I think they have those triggers.

[Cointxz]

I think I heard this before from people that work in the casino operations and it’s due to the legal matter. Casino will just need to surrender the money to the authorities in case it’s from money laundering when it was deposited and never leave their casino through withdrawal while withdrawal on casino will create direct transaction cycle from user to casino to user that will connect them to user.

KYC is essential to have a proof that they are not involved with that said user in case they are laundering and they can be tracked.

Lastly, there’s a range amount set to be considered as big to apply KYC.
