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.
If a person is very concerned about the issue of prestige, he should not publicize himself when he wins a gamble because we don't know who will know that he already has a lot of money. He could have been the target of crimes from people he didn't know to ask for the prize money. And although his goal was to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of people who didn't believe he could win at the casino, it wouldn't be a problem because people already knew he was losing a lot. And if he could win this time, people would probably say he was just lucky this time.

I saw both types of information in the news: in some cases, they showed and reported brief information about the winners of a large amount in the lottery (perhaps the organizers insisted on this and wanted to advertise), in others, information about the winners was not disclosed, describing only the amount of the winnings and very superficial data.

Of course, publicity can be fraught with consequences, and if there is a choice, it is better to maintain confidentiality. In some cases, this comes to the point of absurdity. I heard one story when a man who won a large amount of money, who wished to remain anonymous, by the way, hid the news of his winnings from his family and from all friends and relatives so as not to tempt them with sudden expenses and get rid of the fact that they would start asking him for money.

There is another vulnerable spot - these are casino employees who can become informants and inform the robbers of the winning players. The probability of this, although small, always remains, therefore, if you are very lucky in gambling, then it is better not to advertise it.

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.

If I'm not mistaken, lottery winners in the US are being publicized?

I don't know about crypto based casino's though, I mean we only have usernames and such so even if they put it in public no one will know the real names behind it.

And the last one that I heard that won a raffle here in our community with a Cyber Tesla Truck is SyGambler.

Depends on the state because I reckon there are still some states in the US that will give you some option whether you wanted to be publicized or not, but in most cases and states, you don't have that much option because I've read that they have a law about that already that a lottery winner can't be remain anonymous.
It is a huge disadvantage of course because you aren't that much safe anymore compared to the day that nobody bothered to know you. But in online casinos, the situation might be different though, except in the offline casinos where you need to go to the place and play.

That's an important point and I honestly can't understand why a state would want the name of a lottery winner to be published. It reminds me of one of many cases where it was assumed the mafia might hunt down known winners. It makes perfect sense because what are the chances they don't hunt you down knowing you are a powerless dude with tens of millions in the bank. No idea why some states would push for such a law.


Same here, I can't think of anything that the situation will be in favor or benefit the winner. They are just endangering the safety of their own citizens who won big bucks in the lottery, I mean, it really doesn't make sense why that specific law existed in the first place. Other than that, that winnings will be taxed by the feds up to 37% and so on.
Then you may want to consider in hiring some couple of private bodyguards for your safety and to your family because you will be famous instantly and not just the mafia will track you down, safe to say that almost all notorious thugs will do the same thing.

I think gambling sites will ask for permission first to publish big wins from gamblers on their sites, obviously it is very threatening to security, especially close friends, they can approach the winner to borrow money, so I think it's better in my opinion that winnings in gambling are hidden or not published because to keep the gambler safe, but usually gambling sites publish it because it is just a promotion to attract many new gamblers to try their luck there

if i win in gambling or casino i will hide it instead of having to publish it on my social media
Yes because I think there is a law with it. It's invading people's privacy without their consent. Big casinos are respected and they don't want to do things which can affect their reputation. I wouldn't worry much if my close friends knew that I win big in gambling because I already know them and they already know me.

It's rare if your friends will do something bad only for you to give them money. I'll in fact voluntarily share my money to them even if they didn't ask it and I know that they will be glad at it. You shouldn't be afraid if someone borrows you money because the money that you won is big. It won't even hurt you even if they didn't repay it.
privacy must be prioritized because it is a personal thing that must be respected, to be honest I'd rather give the small money voluntarily to my friends than they borrow it, because I don't want my friendship to be damaged just because of debt and I also don't want to collect debts, of course I often treat my friends when I get a little win on gambling sites, that's why I should hide my winnings to avoid old friends who have never communicated with me all this time suddenly contact me just because they saw I won a big prize from gambling

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 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.

I do not expect gambling sites to be publicising this kind of news. Will gambling site ask for the permission of the winner for the winning to go public? Or the winner can just be anonymous in a way his name will not be mentioned?

Well it really depends on where you live and how much you have won. If you win 100k in a European country like Germany then nobody is going to care. Sure, they might pat you on the back and tell you congratulations but that is as far as it will go. Even 1 million won't be a huge deal.

But if you live in a very poor third world country where people kill each other over a couple thousand dollars... Well...Then you will be in grave danger, should your name and face become public in some winning announcement.

But either way, personally I would prefer to keep my winnings and my money private. Its no ones business but your own.

And anyone who flaunts their millions in the faces of the poor and desperate is kind of asking for it. You get what you deserve.

Normally, the gambling sites will not publicize your winnings as this is just something that has to do with privacy. In case they want to publicize, they should ask you for permission or they will turn the winnings public without telling who was the exact winner.

I think i now got the reasons why the gambling sites make publication of any huge amount of winning, this is done to encourage more gamblers to keep on gambling with their attempts, it also serves as evidence that gambler can win as big as that or even more without a denied access and this is oart of their promotional adverts on their gambling website because the news  definitely publicize it thereby serving a promotional arvert to the casino, but on the contrary the risk lies on the gambler because obviously everyone knows about his whole deal and worth, but in other way, the gambler can also lias and discuss with them not to reveal his identity through this period of which i doubt they wont and so on, the casino will always work to their own interest and not the gamblers' either it favours or not.

It actually sounds quite ominous - what is the crime situation in your country in general that people who win a small amount of money (I'm guessing a small amount since the draw is held every week) are so afraid for their privacy? Maybe it's just a tradition, but if it's a necessity, then the situation is rather sad.
Crime occurs not because there is an intention from the perpetrator, but because there is an opportunity. People who win a small amount of money or a large amount will always be on the lookout for evil that can happen at any time. maintaining privacy by blurring the face when interviewed by the mainstream media will reduce the level of crime risk to them, caution will lead to safety.

This is exactly what I meant - if people are afraid to show even a little wealth, then the crime situation in that country is very bad. And I would not want to live in such a country, because even if you have money, you need to keep it secret, and if you buy yourself a good car/house/something else, it will not bring joy, but danger and problems.

I think before they public it, they will ask permission on the person who win if they will agree because it was indeed dangerous but despite that, I still see some big winners who shown their full names on public but not their address obviously. If you are a criminal and your plan is to rob the winner then it's always possible to locate his address even by searching his name on the web or his picture.

Pretty sure that some information of that guy will pop out but with that money they won, they can always afford a good security to protect them. They are also prepared for this. If ever I win big I will only keep it a secret even to my local because I am also afraid that lots of people will beg me money Cheesy.

This is reasonable, since a person who suddenly becomes rich immediately has many relatives, old friends, and maybe even children that he has never heard of, hahaha. Plus, if this person is single (or even married), gold diggers start chasing him and trying to shake off money from him. Staying anonymous and not drawing attention to yourself is the most sensible strategy for anyone but the media person.

I think they aren't asking regarding that but you can read their terms and conditions at least first and if they breach that, that's clearly a bad sign. I think there's a feature wherein you can make your account a private on most casinos and I prefer people to do the same instead.

Here in our country, the names of those who win the lottery every week are made public but their faces are not included, or if the mainstream media interviews any lotto winners, they obscure the face of the winner and change his voice as well, to maintain the privacy that is called, and sometimes when it is okay for the winner to be interviewed face-to-face, they also agree, depending on the permission given by the winner.

But in other gambling games that win big money in offline casinos here in our country, they don't publish the winner's face.
Good ideas with hidden their face when winning in lottery, seems he want privacy about lottery winning attack from criminal cases or try how to make their family or friend do not know and ask loan from his lottery winning. I think on casino cryptocurrency gambling can hidden and keep privacy when winning but with offline gambling some time we can see the winning without hidden their face. Actually offline gambling in my country they will publish to their friend if win lottery without try keep hidden.

I have seen that many times but all I know is that they gambling site or company always try as much to make sure that the identify of the winner is keep anonymous if possible. This is a method many gambling sites are using to attract other gamblers to see good reasons to start using there platform and this alone will give other gamblers the confidence to gamble and bet more with bigger funds. All this are strong strategies that do attract more gambler to a casino but many persons might not know how it works.
Depends on a certain platform but if we do look around or speaking about those typical lottery games that we do have specially that government-owned or something in correlate then players had win up the

jackpot isnt really be that introduced which it would really be just a careless part or dumb thing  that they would be exposing off winners identity.It is a casual thing to be done even on online

lotteries or draws that we do have in the market today.It would be just a standard thing on protect that winners identity because we know the risk when someone
hits a huge sum of money.

I agree that such a law does not make sense, I think that the reason laws like that are passed is because state lotteries want to encourage people to gamble but without doing so directly, so they need to show those which won massive amounts of money with them to get other people to buy their lottery tickets, and while a tactic like that would work at the same time they are putting their gamblers at risk as they are making them the targets of criminals by advertising how much money they won.

I am currently trying to remember the name of at least one gambler who has won a lot and has been written about in the news, but I can’t. I think you are overstating the issue. It is unlikely that some criminal elements will follow the news to figure out who won a lot of money - there are much easier and more reliable ways to find out about the existence (and specific names) of rich people. In general, the publicity of the winner is often spelled out in the conditions of the draw - people like to see a specific winner, and an anonymous winner causes fear that the organizers will keep the main prize.
Why not? Some criminals are not picky but they will target anyone especially if it's a normal individual who experience to win big for the first time. They think they are easy to rob than those rich personalities that they saw on the web but maybe they have attempted to steal them before, we only don't know the result if it's a failure or not.

Before we join the draw, we need to read the terms and conditions first so that we can back out if we don't want to public our names in exchange for the prize that we will won. If it only happen on a crypto gambling sites then it wont be big deal since we are only using our nicknames or username there. They are free to public it.
