Can online betting blocks your account because of your too much winnings

[YOSHIE]

Because of this incident that happened to my colleagues, he withdraw all the money and close the account, so question is, assuming you are to be the the guy, will you close your account with them? Because their characters mean that the owner of a gambling site do find joy when ever a customer loses.

Situations like this can be said to depend on the gambler himself, if they are a gambling addict, win big and lose they will not close their account and vice versa.

Talking about the risk of account closure by the online casino, when we win large amounts it can happen, it depends on the casino, if they don't want to pay the winnings that's fine, the casino's reputation is at stake.

But there are also casinos that are professional and responsible for the payments and winnings of gamblers, the point is to gamble at a reputable casino is a good step, choosing a responsible casino is the main thing, for that reason, consider gambling at a responsible casino, responsible and fair.

they asked him allot of questions that ended of him going to the bank to print out his paying slips and statement of accounting that shown that he is a working class and then upload it in there site and after doing all that, finally his account was late open and he was able to gain access to his winnings.

Lol,

They actually asked your colleague for his payslip and bank statement to prove he has any legitimate income to fund his gambling. It means they wanna go through Affordability Check!

Just think how ridiculous that is! 

When he deposited that $377 at that time casino didn't ask for proof of income.

If he had lost they probably never would have asked!

But the moment he made good profit and tried to withdraw suddenly all their rules and regulations came to mind.

That's good of that your friend, he tried for closing down his account after his winnings were paid. This is just similar to what we regularly talk about some casinos that offers No-KYC at the time of registration but begins to request KYC when huge winnings is involved. There casinos that you will be staking and losing huge amount of money but they will never suspect you of any irregularities or money laundering but when you win huge that is where they will start unnecessary investigation of your account to look for errors so that they can use that to intimate you. This is also an eye opener to your friend, next time if he wants to stake with huge amount he should split it to different casinos so that if one of them tries to act funny, the other ones may pay his winnings then he can use that amount to start a legal action against the other casino that refused to pay. How can they ask for his bank account statement to know if he makes genuine money but they didn't care about these investigation when he fund his account to stake bets. Many casinos finds joy when people lose a lot of money and they don't even have the feelings that what if their customers start moving to other casinos when they find out that bettors are having hard luck to win on their casino site.

There is this my colleague that doesn't have fear if he loses or wins but what he focus more is how to be winning always and not minding regardless to his high staking power, that he might lose most times too but the last amount he stake with, was $377.28 to win $754.56, and this my colleagues was lucky to have won $754.56 three times in a role using $377.28 as his staking power, do you know what the betting site he was using to place all those betting, they blocked his account and tag him for money laundry and do you guys know the funniest part, upon his winning, that my colleagues has not withdraw any of his winnings from the online betting site and he was able to contact some of his friends and they provided a number for he to call customer service and when he finally called them, they asked him allot of questions that ended of him going to the bank to print out his paying slips and statement of accounting that shown that he is a working class and then upload it in there site and after doing all that, finally his account was late open and he was able to gain access to his winnings.

A good casino will not close or ban anyone's account for frequently winning games, the account might be restricted if he won a huge amount of money just to ascertain if it's a human that is behind the account and that's when they are going to request for KYC registration or verification that's why it good for every gamblers to complete their KYC registration in other to avoid restrictions on the account when they win a huge amount of money and wants to withdraw.

Some of this casino site are criminals and they do so at times to frustrate the owner of the account and if he doesn't follow up with proofs and papers that how they will convert and scam him of his money, just imagine if he was unable to reach out to those that helped him to connect with them, that's how he would have lost the money he won. As for me I will take the same decision he took by withdrawing all the money to avoid such incident next time.

[Bright0515]

Online casino is a business and they make profit off the gamblers losses, which is quite normal. Your friends reason to stop using the casino is valid because that would have also been the reaction of a lot of gamblers. But I think he should give the casino some credit because some casinos don't give you access to withdraw your wins after your account is blocked, the only thing they can do is to refund the original amount you staked with and such is quite unfair. Winning too much puts you under suspicion but from what you explained your friend didn't win that much so I think that casino has some issues.

Casino is that kind of business where wealth is being exchanged rather than being created like how bitcoin investment is working. So, gamblers must lose in order to make money by owner, no other go. So, you cannot expect a casino owner to be working hard for you to make money, they are running business for their own benefits and gamblers must take care of themselves instead of expecting any support from gambling house to make big or consistent money by gambling.

Moreover, when you make big winning, casinos reserve rights to check your background and all your gambling activities to find any breach which might have resulted into that big winning. So, we cannot assume by ourselves that casino owners are not preferring that its customers winning big but we need to understand that it is part of their business model and not because of any vengeances.

[Renampun]

Casinos will always be suspicious of winnings that are too high... it's just their system built to monitor players who consistently win large amounts and they maybe will enforce strict KYC to make sure that the activity doesn't break their rules or have any loopholes, or is using some kind of advantage that could potentially harm the casino platform. Anyway, casinos are a business, and they have to always be suspicious of anything that could potentially hurt them.. and all casinos are like that, whether you like it or not, that's their rule.. if you feel it's unfair, you can report it or just avoid it entirely.

I think once his account gets flagged for AML, they will keep creating hassle with new paperwork requirement every time there is any large withdrawal.

Even if it doesn't happen today, sooner or later they will likely limit your colleague's stake size.
For instance capping bet at maximum of $5, and so on.
That is exactly how bookmaker indirectly drive away winning player.

I wouldn't easily trust any casino that demand onto sensitive data such as my income certificate or bank statement without any legitimate reason, simply because of my big win.

Your colleague actually did perfect thing. Got money out and said goodbye to the site for good! I would have done the exact same thing.

[Findingnemo]

I don't find it is weird when a casino ask for the source of funds, it happens with most of the crypto casinos too and sometimes they ask the documents that no one can really provide. But don't use casinos that can trigger the money laundering warning, deposit and finish the wagering requirement then tries withdrawing it immediately. But if the person have never made a withdrawal then how did he trust them with more money?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Normally, I don't think casinos feels happy when a customer keeps winning consistently, if it's some casinos, they might not actually block your account but they will limit the amount that you can use to stake on the games, if you were staking with $300+, they could reduce your staking amount to $10 (just for example). If this story is true, then it's very terrible of the casino to have accused the guy of money laundering meanwhile there's nothing that actually proves that it's true. This casino/bookie you are referring to, is it a popular crypto casino or just a local Fiat bookie? It's usually wise to mention the name of site to help alert other users too, and lastly, it's bad of this person to be saving his winning in the bookie.

[ZeroVinsonN]

As far as your story is concerned, the suspected your friend of doing something illegal and that was what led to them shutting him out of his account, he had to prove that he was infact not doing anything illegal and once that was proven they allowed him access to his betting account again, nothing really points to them not wanting him to get his winnings, itay have been an inconvenience but we can't really say it was completely out of place for them to do, maybe he was depositing money with one account and placing withdrawals from a different that didn't seem to be linked to the first in anyway, there are alot of reports about people laundering money through casinos these days so maybe they were just trying to make sure.

[danherbias07]

It's possible tha tthey will do that. Not just throw the "money laundering" card but they might also throw a "cheating" card. Successive wins with large amounts are really hard to do in many gambling sites because of the house edge. So it means either their system has an error and it was abused or someone is cheating. Even if the mistake is on the gambling site's side, I highly doubt they will admit it. They will use any way possible to put the blame on the player and cost him to disallowed to withdraw.

But this may not happen on a reputable gambling site. Something like this can ruin their name and they don't want that to happen.

[AmaGold70]

Every gambling platform cares mostly for their own profit, and when a gamblers wins huge money, they conduct proper verification before you can be paid. All gambling companies have different financial capacity, and when you continue to win huge amount of money in regular bases, a gambling platform can suspect you, and eventually block your account. There are also gambling companies with good reputation, and good track record, and no matter how much you win, they will surely pay your win with ease. Many reputable gambling platforms have their winning limits, so while placing your bet, they won't allow you pass their limit, but some platforms would make withdrawal difficult for you, and this is the more reason why gamblers look for transparent gambling platforms or bookies to gamble on.

[Makus]

The story you have narrated is a normal thing in casino business. If you are winning consistently, some casinos will request for KYC to be sure you are a human.  Some good casino do add this to their TOS but they phrase the statement in such a way that it does not directly mean asking for KYC due to regular winning. Running away from the casino is not the best decision because they acted within their TOS and even if your friend wants to run,  the casino he is running to may require the same thing if wins consistently.

Winning consistently" but that's just a short winning streak, it would have been more suspicious if he had more than 10 times or maybe even more, I see no reason why his account should be blocked when he didn't even win that much compared to the winning streak that some people have. If you ask me I think the casino just has a problem with people winning, perhaps it's a new casino that didn't want to lose much.


Although running away from the casino isn't the best option like you said because they were able to resolve it, who knows if it would have been worse with a different casino. Their TOS is absolute bs to me because what is the point of doing verifications or submitting KYC if they are going to ask someone to get a bank statement to prove that they are working, what's the point of having such information.

That's the scene with most casinos these days when someone losses they don't care and don't ask for source of funds or anything but when someone starts winning good amounts then they start asking for KYC details and freeze the funds.

That's why if someone is serious about sports betting then it's much better to complete KYC verification at start and choose a reliable casino. Because a legit/reliable casino will never create such issues for the users and they'll be able to withdraw their winnings without any issues.

[DiMarxist]

First of all, what type of game did your friend play exactly? Even if it's not stated in their TOS some casinos have strict rules of blocking the accounts of players that win consistently from betting on single games, don't get me wrong playing single games isn't a wrong but winning consistently from it puts your account at risk of getting blocked because it's going to be under suspicion of using prohibited strategies like arbitrage and other systems.

A lot of times it's a wrong judgement from the casinos and even if they find out that they blocked the account for nothing they don't apologise or try to fix it. I would have said that this casino already has a bad reputation but for the fact that they reached to get the issue fixed means that they are actually legit. I understand your friend's frustration but he shouldn't have stopped using the casino, some casinos would not have bothered.

Casinos are good at this, it is not a new thing and I don't think they are going to stop doing it, concerning the decision your friend took, I know that many will be of the view that he went too far with his decision to close his account the casino in question, it seem to me like his decision was triggered by the stress he went through out the process of printing the statement of his account to submit to the Casino which the casino never asked when he had no winning, isn't that a good reason for him to withdraw all his money and perhaps move to another casino if he likes, it remain uncertain what would've been his fate if the amount in question was higher than that, it's possible that the casinos would've restricted him access to the account, I will not fault his decision for leaving the betting site completely.

I think players like that definitely end up on the radar of casinos and gambling operators; after all, casinos will closely scrutinize anyone who consistently takes money from them I’m referring to professionals here. I follow one such player who streams his poker games, but he has a partnership with the casino, so he has nothing to worry about he’s essentially promoting the place. However, if a player doesn't have that kind of arrangement and keeps winning, then they certainly have reason to worry that the casino might tell them to leave the platform, even for trumped-up reasons. I’m not saying that will definitely happen, but the possibility exists.

[laspol65]

While gambling, you should gamble on a trusted site, the site you are gambling on may not be very good. So after you win a few times, your account is closed, this is basically a fraud trap of the owners of the gambling platform. So if you want to gamble, you must gamble on a trusted platform like Rollbit, Stake.com, Rainbet, Sportbet, etc. You will not have to face such problems.
However, you must be careful, since you have won a lot of money, you should withdraw 80 percent to 90% of the money from there. And you can gamble later with the remaining 10%-20% of the money, but if you win big from gambling, you must take a break, it is possible to stay away from the symptoms of addiction.

[Grace333]

Money laundry? That's funny, of all the reasons they could give that was the best they could come up with, absolutely pathetic. I would assume that it was an error from their end but when an account is blocked due process must be followed for the player to regain access to the account. In my opinion, they probably just wanted him to make additional verification because I see no reason why a person's Gambling account will be tagged with such accusation without any prove. Usually I have seen people's accounts get banned several times for winning but it's mostly when they have been making profits over a long period of time, like weeks to months, but this was just three consecutive times so I doubt they took such action because he was winning too much.
Your friend made the right decision, who knows if the same thing is going to repeat itself if he ends up winning a bigger amount.
