Ideally, if a person gambles every day, that is 7 times per week, which should be almost 28 days of the month, the casino should reach out to the customer because this is not responsible gambling at all. And if the individual refuses to quit, there should be a notice that their account would be frozen if they don't bring it under control.

What these gambling addicts are trying to do is that they want to eat their cakes and still have it. This is why casinos have to be very meticulous and serious about their business because these weak links can cost them a lot of money where their lawyers find lapses. When gamblers take gambling operators to court it doesn't look good for the casino's name and business no matter whether the final judgement is in their favour.

I find it interesting that cryptocurrency exchanges generally limit withdrawals to $5,000-$10,000 a day for non-verified users, and this law is very highly enforced by authorities/exchange operators. Yet, betting companies still allow someone to deposit and gamble $20,000+ a day without any verification required, and only look into the matter after the gambler themselves raises a complaint (generally after the gambler loses). I am also sure that if the gambler one, bet365 would have done everything in their power to make the winnings difficult to withdraw.

There definitely needs to be some reform in both the crypto and fiat gambling sectors. It's long overdue.

Lol, why would the operator stop him if he isn't stopping himself? And how is the operator responsible for anything that he had lost? If the bets that he made were all wins or at least he was in a lot of profit, he would probably never think of doing such a thing and wouldn't even mention that placing 163 bets was a crazy move since it would have worked out for him.

I literally hate those people who doesn't have the courage to accept their mistakes and take responsibility for what they've lost themselves but instead go ahead and blame others for what has happened to them when in reality, others have nothing to do with it.

The casino is not responsible for someone losing at gambling because when that person is gambling, the casino assumes that the person is aware of the risk of losing his money. The casino assumes that the person can be responsible for himself and his money in gambling so that it will free the person to play gambling.

And it seems that the casino can tell which gambler has lost a lot of money and the casino can tell that he has gambled too much. And maybe the casino has done it but the gambler just doesn't care. We don't know what happened and can only guess.

A gambler made 163 bets in a day and the the casino said it acceptable. Because for some high-rolling gamblers, losing around one-third of a bankroll is considered acceptable.  This gambler is in court. He accuses the operator of failing to stop him, which led to a substantial loss. He said that, "the betting activity didn’t raise any red flags at Bet365, and if it did, it didn’t raise them high enough. It took the operator two months to step in after the massive deposit to verify the source of funds, at which time he was already down £46,907 (US$58,657)."



Everything will rely on the casino's terms, players, when they sign up, agree to the terms, and if on the terms there's no limit and it's up to the gambler to control his bets then it's going to be a loss case, he doesn't have a good lawyer his lawyer knows that this is a lost case and like another complaint in the scam section his lawyer is just going to milk him, he should get a second opinion to enlighten him if he should continue the case, anyway I look at this case its a loss case and many will agree that it is.

The casino's terms of service will unquestionably affect the likelihood that the case will be successful. The majority of casinos don't set betting limitations because doing so would be beneficial to their business and they wouldn't care if certain wagers were losers, but others do monitor player activity and impose limits on their gambling activities.
But in my opinion, a responsible gambler shouldn't base all of his limitations on the casino. It is our personal obligation to limit our urges to gamble, especially if we are going overboard. We must use caution when establishing limits and allocating money for gambling. We can't always hold the casino responsible for our poor choices and actions.

What is the maximum number of bets that one can place per day, and do casinos have a system in place to identify any unusual spikes in a user's daily betting activity?
As far as I know, gambling has probabilities and activities that are implemented by casinos by having mechanisms and perceptions for different users in each casino and different levels of betting, different mechanisms differ in games, whether it's sports games, slots and so on.

Bottom line: the casino can identify each bet placed by the user in different games, for this reason it is highly recommended that users before placing a bet always consider the payout rates available by the casino, so that users don't have problems with guaranteed payment of winnings, even though the bets placed are calculated by the casino.

Would it be regarded as a component of the casino's responsible gambling policy or as interfering in someone else's affairs it they lock the  gambler's account?
Yes, the casino has the right to that, if they can't afford to pay the winnings, like I said above, it's really necessary to choose a casino that is responsible for the user's winnings.
Yes they have the right to do such things but that thing is unethical and it will be a reason why people will avoid their casino, but technically they can do it better to read the T&C of every casino he will going to play his money with so that he will not regret something that beyond the things that he know. I agree he should always check the payout rates.

Boom! An enigma that reads more like a gumshoe novel than a humble episode at a casino table! Feels like 'Casino Royale' collided with 'Judge Judy'! This concept of a daily bet cap - isn't it akin to limiting how much candy a child should get at a fiesta? Overindulgence is detrimental, we concur. But who draws the line? The casino overseer? Isn't it alarmingly like the serpent guarding the garden?

Isn't it beguiling to muse about the duties of these betting titans? Visualize an algorithm stating, "That's enough roulette for today" and blocks your access! Are we to entrust our ethics to AI? Or will we soon be reading, "Rebel AI Squanders User's Fortune - Insists it's For His Benefit"? Remember, everything that shines isn't treasure, particularly in the dazzling aura of the casino.

A sad story when you are the one running the business.

Imagine people suing McDonald's because they didn't stop them from eating at the same fast food store every day and it got out of hand that they did it twice a day so they get fat.
Imagine a pork store being sued because they didn't stop a man from buying a lot of pork and so he was now feeling high blood pressure and admitted to hospital because he experience a mild stroke.

This is an abuse of their habit and they should not be pointing fingers at who is at fault. It's only the gambler who made a big mistake here and should be blaming himself.
Now, if he can prove that he registered for a "responsible gambling" service then I might agree with him, if not, there's nothing a business should answer about. What a f**ked up world we have if they will be the ones paying for the gamblers' greed.
They only offered a service to gamble with our favorite casino games and sports, it will depend on us on how we will control it.

So how is the case going on? Did the gambler able to beat the betting company in court?

Personally, I doubt the court will reward the decision to the gambler. There's a lot reminder everywhere the importance of responsible gambling. Plus gambling is not illegal and is supposed as an entertainment hubs.

It's like obese people that consumes a lot of food regularly on fast foods and then suing them. Or a cigarette smoker who's suffering from a disease related to smoking addiction, this might have the better chances of winning in the court.

it's not a simple discussion.
Few more elements....
there was a very specific pattern in his deposits (for example the days on which deposits were made were the same, always, linked directly with salary received).
he received offers to push him to play, likewise promotion/ bonus etc
the site had not provided any kind of assistance even if requested.
In short, it is not such a simple matter... And for sure these events could boost authority to approve new laws.
I always suggest setting maximum limits on the amount It can deposit or bet. for who use cryptocurrencies... use cold wallets that are difficult to access or multisignature wallets!

     -  I just read of such a situation where a gambler complained to the game operator at the casino simply because he was not prevented from gambling so as not to lead to a large amount of loss.

In fairness, that gambler loses more than 21k$ a day. It means that he is a rich gambler, he throws money in a casino. Isn't it the gambler's responsibility if he knows that his loss is big, he should stop and should not blame the gaming operator. That's why others say that we must gamble responsibly.

Believe or Not there’s a real life story that user manage to get a compensation from a casino due to the court ruling in favor of the gambler. If anyone remember the story of Christian Hainz agains a Swiss casino. He loss $3 million in the casino due to his addiction. He accused the casino that they are manipulating him and use his addiction to take advantage on him for not stopping him too early.

The court ruling about the manipulation allegation makes Hainz get a compensation of 500K USD which is not bad to recover some of his loss.

Some court is considerate on cases like gambling addiction. This is the worst nightmare of a casino in an event that the judge is in favor to the victim while they have an incompetent attorney to make their case.

You can read the story number as source for this info: https://greatbridgelinks.com/5-gamblers-who-won-casino-lawsuits/

Why is it that people sue the house after numerous losses? The gambler somehow had a better lawyer than the Swiss casino, unless the Swiss casino wrote on their terms and condition that they'll stop addicts from staking so much money, then the gambler has a better chance over the casino. A gambler that staked 3million dollars at a go, should be cautious of his expenses while gambling. What if he won most of the games and made more profits would he complain that the house didn't stop him? on the other hand, if he spent that amount on night club would he sue the club owner for not stopping him from buying expensive wines? things get tricky when it comes to casino, due to addicts.

Act of desperation I guess. IIRC his case, His company went down and he use the remaining money to gamble and recover his company loses quickly but it turns out that he lose more in the process. He is really in the impression of addiction since he is not in the right mind before he gamble which maybe the case he use to convince the judge.

This is the beauty of the court. Their judgement is always based on facts and evidence but judges have emotion which somehow they empathize the complainant situation to come up with that kind of ruling.

Casino do monitor every players activity especially high roller. I think they knew what’s going on and they just really turn a blind eye because they knew that it’s none of their business but sadly judge doesn’t think that way.

We always take our own risks in life and win or lose based on our own efforts. It seemed childish to me to blame someone else for an event that was under our own responsibility. If the person who lost his money in gambling was in the opposite situation and he won money, would he complain about the casino? Of course he wouldn't do that. He would thank the casino and walk away. In my opinion, his behavior is unacceptable and funny. He must learn to act like an adult.
It's always like that, people only like to win and make money, but they can't accept lose, similar like people who invest in Bitcoin and hope their investment would be doubled overnight Cheesy

People who can't accept lose in slot or luck based games are better to gamble on skill based games e.g. sport because the result is 100% transparent. There's no photoshopped in sport, although there's still a chance of scripted or fixed game.

People should be responsible for their actions and how they control their vice, it's not the obligation of the casino to check if you are spending what you can afford to lose, especially in a platform like a casino where their business model is to make profit from your bets.
Casinos are profit driven you're looking for entertainment and a chance to make a profit and the casino will give it to you, but if you lose then you should be man enough to accept your losses when you bet you accept the uncertainty of the results, or whatever results it will yield.

It's sad, yes, but at the same time dumb as well. Why not blame internet providers for giving access to gambling websites now. Addicts gotta stop victimizing themselves if the underlying cause is themselves and not external parties. I mean said gambler would've probably still done the same thing regardless of what casino down the line.

And I highly doubt casinos would put a limit, even if requested by a user (unless it's a feature of the casino, which is highly unlikely to happen, but will probably be welcomed by addicts). Their a business after all, primary goal is to make profit. Money from your average joe vs money from a gambling addicts are both money anyway.

Would it be regarded as a component of the casino's responsible gambling policy or as interfering in someone else's affairs it they lock the  gambler's account?

I have not come across such a limit. Usually the limits are about the maximum amount of money. In addition, certain warnings appear in consecutive losses and it is said that you should pay attention. Other than that, I don't know anything about maximum limits. It seems absurd to me that people blame other things for their losses. They must know how to stop themselves when they lose.

We have to be careful when it comes to gambling it would be foolish to court the gambling operator. All forms of gambling are not in the external world. They can't do anything in court for online gambling the name of the gambling sites will be bad. Most of the sites are operated from outside the country. New sites are springing up every day as the demand increases they even have mobile apps most of the controls are from outside the country. Therefore, the site should be carefully considered and practice gambling context.
