I have not paid attention much to people winning on gambling sites. I do not mean people that just win, but people that win big like over $10000 or more. All I have known is that people that won so big are publicized and people know them from there.

That is not true, gambling host will never publicize the winner unless the winner give consent.

That is dangerous, it means no privacy and people that are known to the public can be the victim of robbers and there can be physical attacks from robbers in order to steal from the winner. That is not all, even if there is no physical threat, people like me and some other people on this forum can be afraid, feeling unsafe of attacks.

Indeed it is dangerous because we never know what people will think especially when that person is controlled by envy and greed.

Gambling site need to ask for permission to publish the name of the winner because the winner is protected by data privacy law.

Quote from: _act_ on October 21, 2022, 02:22:35 PM

Or the winner can just be anonymous in a way his name will not be mentioned?

I think it is an SOP to publish the winner anonymously or an alias is used in place of the real name of the winning person.

Some sites do so to gather people and entice them to bet more. Leaderboards are there to inspire and something of the likes are present in gambling sites to inspire people to be like those lucky winners. But for publicization, well it's a different story. The government refrains from the publicization of lottery winners because not only is this a right they have the means or ability to exercise, it's also a risk for the winner if they get found out. The risk of someone just mugging them on a busy highway, or an acquaintance literally gunning them down inside their house to rob them is a possibility. So if a site ever publicizes your name and I mean your real government name to their preface, you could sue them.

I think this depends on which country the casino is based in and how the privacy laws are there. In general though a casino should never be allowed to publish any personal information without the consent of the winner. In my country lottery winners need to be kept anonymous by law, the company is not allowed to publish any names or pictures. The only thing they publish is the age and the City the lottery ticket was purchased in. It's good to keep as much secrecy as possible to protect the winners

I don't know who to be blame if it's the casino for exposing winners or government for their lack of regulations in some specific areas that partains gambling with public right opinions, but no matter what it's uncalled for to reveal one's identity no matter the case.[/quote]

As long as you don't use your own name as username, everything is private. And if the casino would ever leak your personal information, then there should be a big fine for it to cover all the cost for higher security.

I agree with you, if they must publicize any information then it has to be on specific information that will not lead to reveal the gambler's privacy to public, but we shouldn't be surprised seing some gamblers less care about their privacy and joyfully accept the offer that goes with their public announcement, i think this is more a thing of choice that some count it a serious thing while some don't even care or mind.

The gambling site no obligation to make user open of their winning or reveals winner's identity they can only post the winning on the board but not to reveal their identity. Gambler don't need to be open or go public in any cases other than being anonymous to avoid physical threat or being harm by unknown people.
That is why online gambling is more preferable than offline casinos.

By the way, it turns out that Drake (who recently lost half a million dollars betting on Champions League games) is doing a good job - he demonstrates that it is very easy to lose huge sums Grin

I heard that from his high roll bets that he publishes from time to time, none have played and even the expression "Drake's curse" has appeared - if Drake bets on a team, then it will not win.

Also it would be a good way people should know they should not follow celebrities like Drake, I will say quite a greater work as he lost so much for people to understand that celebrity can mislead. But do you think Drake is actually losing? I do not think steamers and celebrity like him is losing, it is only giving what is Ceaser back to Ceaser, I believe he can not be a fool to the extent he will be losing more on gambling than he is gaining. I believe just people that followed him and use his bet to play theirs are the ones that are losing.

The fact that he loses the bets that he publishes is obvious, but it is difficult for me to judge the balance of his profits and losses, since I do not know all his bets, plus the most important thing: the amount of the Stake fee for their cooperation. He is a celebrity of a large scale, so it is not difficult to assume that he receives a lot for casino advertising and it may well be that in the end he is in a significant plus.

Most of the time it is the gamblers the ones that cannot keep their mouth closed and reveal to everyone that is willing to listen that they won a big amount at the casino, and as we know this is a big mistake as we do not know what kind of people could be listening to that information,

Fair point and actually that was true. These winners feel that unique experience that only possible when winning big that's why in some cases, they can't control themselves to brag about it disregarding the risks of what they are doing. However, we can't blame that action as they are just being carried away with that enjoyment as it's really difficult to hit such a big amount and it might not even happen again.

Actually, that behavior is fine but since there are bad people around, no choice but the adjustment is really a necessary thing to do for these winners.

In online gambling things are a bit different, I know that leaderboards are quite common at some casino. From there you can find out the big winners each week and month. But this are only usernames without any additional information. Sometimes there are country flags and that's all the information you can get. As long as you don't use your own name as username, everything is private. And if the casino would ever leak your personal information, then there should be a big fine for it to cover all the cost for higher security.

^In our country, I commonly heard a result of the lottery local which is to have a big grand prize, and when the jackpot will hit, they mentioned where the winner lives but not the name. Probably the reason behind this is privacy and security, once it will publicly announce, robbers will have an interest and it could put your life in danger. So gambling casinos will not ask permission to announce it in public, they already understand it and it also protects their players to mention their identity. It is good if the player who won a big amount will remain anonymous for their safety.

... then it would not be rare to find a lot of criminals at a physical casino trying to somehow steal from you after your big win.

this can happen even if it doesn't happen directly in a casino.
In Italy there have been several documented cases of people being threatened / robbed / extorted after they had made big winnings from gambling.
I don't think there is any real benefit to bragging about a win.

Many gamblers are very happy after a big win. And they want to be found out about them. Why? They can gamble for years and lose all the time. Gamblers spend a lot of money gambling. I think it's a matter of prestige for a gambler who has won a lot of money to be known. So he rehabilitates himself in the eyes of those who didn't believe he could win at the casino.

Most of the time it is the gamblers the ones that cannot keep their mouth closed and reveal to everyone that is willing to listen that they won a big amount at the casino, and as we know this is a big mistake as we do not know what kind of people could be listening to that information, after all we know criminals and scammers are attracted to all the places in which money is circulating, then it would not be rare to find a lot of criminals at a physical casino trying to somehow steal from you after your big win.

I don't think a casino should make this public. At least not without the user's permission. If people have won a lot of money, would they want it to be made public? I don't think so honestly. You can only get in trouble with it. Imagine that you have won 2 million$ and you would appear on the website or in the news with your photo and name, I think that suddenly you suddenly have a lot of friends and your life is no longer safe because people can easily track you down. A gambling site will never do that. Privacy is to important for users.

Regardless if the winner has given permission or not, I think it’s already an initiative of the casino itself not to post the real identity of the winner to assure security of the winner’s funds and free from life’s threats and attacks. Although in some games like lottery, winners are publicized but their names are not mentioned and their faces are intentionally blurred for the safety of the winners.

Do you really think so? In truth it would have a completely opposite effect. For this reason most countries do not make public the identities of criminals so that the public cannot take revenge and their families are protected. It's never a fault of someone's children that they decide to for instance murder someone.

Coming back to casinos, they have no right to make your identity public. They can do it if you agree to it and they can make a picture and post it if you're playing in a brick and mortar casino, but posting a picture with first name is different from making all your data public. It would be like painting a target on your back.

Publishing big wins on social media that only aim to show off will experience dangerous things in the future. There have been many cases where someone who won a large bet or lottery suffered a painful loss after they made it public to everyone.
don't show off - don't be flashy - just enjoy your winnings with your family in silence, publicizing your winnings can cause great jealousy, this is what I believe and I apply it in my life.

You equally have a very good point here regarding this issue, because publicizing such news online or offline with the name of the winner is risky and can put the life of such individual in danger. I have seen a lot of people who won and never got home safely with the money they won, simply because info got leaked, because at times is not everybody you see during your celebration moment is happy to see you celebrate. Some if given the opportunity don't mind stealing your joy, which is why it is always good to be extremely careful when you are around people, as you never can tell who will be the judas among them all

I'm now thinking about what's the reason that leads OP to ask the question if online casinos will publicly put the name of big winners name in public. I'm pretty sure that no online casino will ever do that. There might be a prompt for the big winner but not to the point that the real name will be used. If OP can share a related story, that's a good reference to read.

However, we can expect that in a physical casino, once there's a big winner, that person will really be exposed for an obvious reason that people there are playing together and if such a thing happened, everyone in the casino will put attention to the winner.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅

No....
You're getting it all wrong; no one gets publicized in their real personalities ( their real, personal informations), has that ever happened?? No way! Every wager ticket --whether software or printed on paper, has an ID on it. You're known and recognized, both by the systemal documentary and the casino house or site by those random numbers on the wager tickets; these is what they make public on a big win, NOT your personal informations.
Who the hell would do that to a user ?? On a site that pseudonymity is supposed to me maintained? They won't dare that buddy... You just misunderstood the whole process...

AFAIK, only lottery winners are announced publicly and that is how the results are announced and it is happening everyday so somewhere someone is winning huge everyday but very few of them goes viral which is good for the casino publicity so they just let it be. If someone really don't want their privacy to be invaded then they have to choose the games which is suitable for them.

You have the right to privacy, so I don't think that this should be publicized.

Now, let's say they do it, the only thing they can make public is your nickname because your KYC documents are private and should be used only to verify your identity, not revealed to allow random people to connect it with your user name.
A physical casino will also never reveal your name because they usually don't know it. Imagine that you win and they tell you: hold on, first show us your ID or we won't let you out. That would be ridiculous.

By the way, yes, this is an accurate observation. Even if you look at the forums where gamblers communicate, you can see that most of them are very willing to share information about their winnings and almost always keep silent about their losses. It should be expected that having received a big win, a significant part of gamblers will not be able to remain silent about it, even if they realize that it would be rational.

We cant really see any share up of huge losses or totally blowing up their account which is really indeed just normal.No gambler would really be liking on sharing up their losses.What for?
When it comes to big wins then it would be understandable that casinos will really be publicize that hit but it would be impossible that they would really be exposing winners identity.
We've seen lots of hits but with just usernames? It wont be enough on uncovering the the users identity.
For physical casinos then you would be definitely known directly which there's something you cant do.
