Gambling houses are not allowed to reveal the identity of the person who won. Still, maybe the purpose of the casino revealing the winner's name in their casino is to tell the public who the winner is. But casinos should have thought carefully before they did because it could involve the winner's safety. But suppose the casino discloses the name of the winner to the authorities. In that case, it may be because of regulations from the local authorities that require the casino to report it to them.
But either way, the casino must inform the winner before they reveal their identity so that the winner can find out so they can allow the casino to do so or choose to keep it a secret. But I don't know if this case is reported to the court. The court will help the winners and consider it a serious offence or the court will help the casino. After all, the winner might be an ordinary person with nothing to finance the case.

Gambling houses may not always have the responsibility to protect personal data. This is all about the gambling houses you do business with. They may also not promise not to share your personal data with you. Even though they promise, many don't feel compelled to implement. Even if you will go to the court, it will take a long time to get a positive result. Therefore, you should gamble knowing that your winnings or losses will be found out by everyone.
Do you think gamblers should take the help of courts in this case ?
First of all you should read the terms and conditions of that website if there is something in their terms and conditions that they can make their information public then you can't say anything to them if they do something like that. Because you have already agreed to their terms and conditions. But if they didn't mention this term so you may concern to the court.
Doesn't sound fair to learn that because it's not on thier TOS, the casino can just publish names. But filing a lawsuit will just make it worse as well and the user will expose himself further when doing so. It's a price to pay when you want to play all the way and submit your data which makes the users vulnerable. If the user is willing to go to court, I guess it depends on him.
In most cases, casinos would usually honor the winner and ask if they wanted to be revealed or not (though this is mostly on lotteries, other casino game winners are generally kept hidden), and most would opt to not reveal it. I don't think I've ever heard an issue about it really, the most I've heard was the winner's location is revealed at most, their names? Not really. I also don't think it could legally be complained about unless it was stated in their casino policies, especially in online casinos. Idk much about privacy laws online from other countries but you should refer to that if needed imo.
You should have taken your time to go through their T&C to read more about their conditions. You can equally reject the approval of having aceess to your vital information if you are not comfortable with it. Notwithstanding, I have never seen a gambling site publishing a full identity of the gamblers that won huge from their sites. Although some sites publish won tickets details of huge amounts to instill confidence and draw customers and in such I see no big issue.
I think that there's no specific regulation about that. I meant the winner can try to ask the platform to hide their identity. I can't deny that the press may push the platform to publish who has been winning the reward. IMO if i never see that such thing if online platform was publishing the winner. I saw only offline platform like lottery winner who has been publised by press. There is also another way for people to avoid to be published just like someone who has been using mask to claim their reward from winning lottery.

Just take it easy. I think that publishing identity is not even being regulated by regulators.

In no case should they reveal once information so a bettor could choose to file a case in the court if they wishes, if in a way your details weren't exposed or reveal to the public then I don't see any reason to sue them to court, it's natural for them to post your winning or amount won but I don't advise them to broadcast your real identify, such as full names, Passport or any other means of identification to the general public.
Ideally, gambling houses should not disclose the identity of the person who won big without first asking him. Unfortunately, this is not respected always.
Those gamblers who do not want their information to be public, but the gambling houses make their names public, can go to the court of law as this is a serious offense. Gamblers can claim damages to the gambling site on this basis. Do you think gamblers should take the help of courts in this case ?

Stake also reserves the right to disclose a User's information as appropriate to comply with legal process or as otherwise permitted by the privacy policy of Stake (owner and operator of Stake), and by using the Service, you acknowledge and consent to the possibility of such disclosure.
If you think that the casino has no right to disclose his information then he can go to court and charge the casino but it will be very costly for you especially if you are playing in online casinos where the office is thousands of miles and it will be just waste of time, if you're not comfortable on giving your information then don't play and only play on casinos with no KYC if you can find one that is reputable. 
What do you mean by "gambling house"? Do you mean casino? 
Are you talking about online casinos or offline casinos?
I don't know about any online casinos revealing the identity of the players, who won big amounts. Do you have any info about such practice?
I remember that a big lottery game in my country was revealing the names and faces of the lottery winners years ago.
The winners were required by the lottery to reveal their identities for advertising purposes(proving that the lottery is legit).
Anyway, the lottery game was banned for cheating and showing TV commercials with "jackpot winners" who didn't won the jackpot.
No gambler or jackpot winner must reveal his/her identity without his/her permission.

Good gambling sites would want to protect their customers privacy. There are many winnings that gambling site would disclose that someone won big amount of money but will not disclose the name of the person. About gambling house, immediately a gambler wins, the news is already almost everywhere around that this particular person won so big, a land based gambling is not a place of privacy at all even without the gambling house disclosing it.

Nope, some gambling sites mentioned this about in their terms itself and every regulated has to share the information to the legal authority in case if its needed or they have rights to share with trusted third party but I don't think any cryptocurrency casino is disclosing the identity of users who won big unless the results are announced public and rewards are also given in public.

That's ideal but maybe it depends on each casino's policy and if the casino really wants to reveal the identity of the person who won big, the casino should ask the winner first. And if the winner feels that it is not necessary, the casino should not disclose it to the public and only provide the letters of the winner's name or lottery number.
Perhaps if the winner feels that this could put him at risk by revealing his identity, he can file a complaint with his casino and if necessary, he can try to seek recourse to the courts. But it's best to resolve it amicably because this is between the winner and the casino.

They should but what can the courts do in this situation?
Most casinos don’t accept any players from the US because the US judges can judge anyone in the world and the other countries can’t do anything about it because these casinos are usually located in those small Caribbean islands…
Let’s say you live in France and the casino you played on is located in somewhere far away. What are you gonna do if the casino does these offenses you mentioned?
Sue them? Yeah good luck with it.
Cases of casinos publishing names of winners are mostly common with that of crypto casinos and not really common with those that use fiat.
But I think this things are clearly stated in the terms and conditions (T&C) of this gambling houses, maybe to help promote their payout capacity, and most times this crypto casinos are basically and mostly onlines and I really don't think is of more harm to winners.
On the other hand, I really don't see reasons why names of winners should be published without maybe consulting the winner through maybe a private email or so.

Your question is so generic that if you don't specify further I don't even know what to answer. It will depend on many things. Is it in the ToS? If it is in the ToS it is not going to do much good to go to court.
I think this is more typical of crypto gambling houses, as I am not aware of it happening with fiat ones.
