Where did you get this idea that there are possibly casinos that are acting this way?
I think this is not happening. If a country is not within the casino's list of blacklisted countries then what's the point of limiting their slots? On the contrary, the casino would even try their best to promote their platform in whatever ways possible just to gain more players and bets. They would even spend a big amount for sponsorships and partnerships.
Why would the casino be dragged into legal disputes if it has the license and the registration?

Can you mention which the casino you refer to? I don't find any casino who did this, what I know the casino only limit a gamblers from specific locations, they're not gave any limit about the winning amount and how much the max bet that the gambler can gamble.
I think it must be a scam casino since they're not want to pay big winning to the gambler and then accuse him because he came from restricted country.

You know how casinos have set certain slots to only pay a certain amount to a winner, it it also possible that casinos are using an algorithm to limit how much it can payout for players coming from certain locations to avoid being dragged into legal disputes if a player is paid big money and the local authorities want to know the source and the alike?
Well, if you're an audited person that pays taxes to the government for winning money on casinos, isn't this an unfair one? This is a gross income too. Is this even universal even to an online casino that they issue limit to the winners on what they can pay because they win a huge amount?

So if I am understanding it correctly you are saying that they are messing with the RTP as some slot providers allows the casino to do that,and in order for people coming from such countries based on location they to change automatically the RTP,this can be done with ease from any casino operator.
If it is legal or not I cannot say as the casino is the business owner and if they don't advertise any fixed RTP then it is legal but I find it difficult that nowadays casinos to come to this "last resort" for such users,most likely they play fair to everyone,it is up to the winner then to deal with local authorities.

I don't think they'd do, they honestly have no reason to do it since it isn't exactly their problem if their users have issues with regard to their finances. It wouldn't even be a legal dispute imo since they'd have proof of transactions so if ever they'd be put as a scapegoat, they can perfectly leave the case all fine, and might even ask for reparations. Casinos are only afraid of the laws of casino that pertain to "gambling" related regulations, outside of that, especially considering if it was online casinos, I don't think they'd ever fear anything, except maybe an especially lucky person that can bankrupt them

It seems to me that what you are saying is a nonsense that you have pulled out of your hat without any basis.
Precisely if you went to the Scam Accusations board you would see that what usually happens when someone wins big is that they ask for KYC, to make sure they are not playing from a country not allowed with VPN or something, and then there are players who had not read the ToS previously who open a thread on that board with the case.
The reality is much simpler than the conspiracy you raise.

Every country have their peculiar laws on gambling and money laundering and registered casinos are expected to obey or respect these rules. Also every casino must have their terms and conditions that must be open to current customers or prospective ones. If a gambler is comfortable with these terms and conditions, he would gladly use the casino firm. But if the casino has some secret techniques by which they use to control payout, then it is very wrong. As long as they are not violating the laws of the land, there is no need to be afraid of the countries law enforcement agencies.Winning big in a casino is a well-known source of wealth globally, the local authority shouldn't be surprise when someone suddenly becomes a millionaire.

I don't think an online casino will restrict a player from winning big based on the country where he is playing from,that is why it's online so that the casino can be accessed from any part of the world. If a casino wants to restrict, they will restrict the gamblers from a particular country not the funds to be won. Though the casinos are always making profit because of the house hedge.Winning big can can't scare a casino from restricting a certain amount to gamblers from a particular country with their algorithm, casinos that are operating legally knows that they are to pay their tax to the government, and as a gambler when you win big,if the government knows ,there is nothing that can be done about it,if gambling is legalize in that country. It is only if gambling is not legalize in your country that it can be a great problem.
It is only the illegal casinos that can restrict gamblers to a particular winning,because the are scams.

Isn't it a unfair practice though if casino's are deliberately doing it?
What if someone find out or some insider leaked that out? for sure the reputation of that casino will be hit hard. I know that we don't have any sources about this thing, but for me casino's are not that stupid do to this kind of thing.
They can still make a lot of money without being resorting to this kind of algorithm, just saying.

I do not know about those illegally operated casinos, but if a casino has a licence and operate legally, it would be in the ToS that certain regions or countries are not allowed to make use of their gambling services. This would help against what you are talking about as they operate legally. Which means all money won by customers has nothing to do with the regulators or governments than paying tax.
