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.

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.

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 their face when interviewed by the mainstream media will reduce the level of crime risk to them, and caution will lead to safety.
Sharing big wins in public will only attract crimes regardless of our motive. We should know that criminals will always be everywhere and just waiting for their next prey so we must be cautious and try not to fall for their trap. Our privacy is important especially if a huge sum of money is involved. It is not necessary to publicize it. We should be the ones to avoid criminals.

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.

In my country, if you gamble officially, you have to pay income tax if your winnings surpass specific amount. If you gamble offline and win big, I think your win wont be publicized. Casino will only congratulate you when you make withdrawal. But if you hit jackpot, get ready for a photo session, and your face will appear first on every casinos social media account, and later mass media will get that info also. If you happen to gamble online, then in case you win more than specific amount, that info will be automatically send to tax authorities. If you are really big winner, by the end of the year tax authorities make top10 gambling winners reports (not exactly gambling, they just do reports and show top areas of income).

Crypto gambling wins are not publicized, as crypto gambling inst allowed and (lol) is blocked in my area.

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?

Privacy is key in gambling winnings and it can't be over emphasized, but I really don't think neither have I seen a winner with his or her full name and winning amount been published or publicized but I've seen where just tye winnings and most times with the users ID publicized which I don't think would reveal the true identity of the winner.

Whatever the case may be , publicizing a winner isn't a good idea and if truly it must be done to promote the company's payment ability, then it should be with tye permission of the winner as well.

Lightning network is good with small amount of BTC
Can you give an example of a crypto base casino or any gambling site that did this? Perhaps we could dig deeper on why they did it.
I only know people who won big that are publicly seen are streamers, but I doubt those are real and maybe they are just being funded by the casino itself to show the possibility of winning the jackpot.
I have not seen any crypto casino that did it, but I remember of a fiat casino in my country that disclose the name of a lecturer that played two same bets with very little amount of money and won big amount. If I remember correctly, he played with $1.5 in total after I converted my country's fiat currency to the present price of dollar, he won over $93000. I think it is still the highest winning in my country but I do not know. We know the lecturer, we know the school he is lecturing. Which means people know his house and many other things about him.

The downside of this is you will be exposed to dangers and likely becomes a target by criminals, your enemies may become jealous of you and may do something to hurt you. A winning game should remain within the player and preferably should be played online, no one will ever know that you won a fortune.

Regardless if we won huge or not, we can't control those people who have bitter feelings towards us. The same goes for the people who have bad intentions for us. On that big winning experience and let's say the public became aware of it, we should just try to be careful at all times and as much as possible limit our exposure to the public. But I believed it's not that we will become an automatic target for such actions.

In fairness, we haven't seen much news related to a person that got big winnings but suffered the worst experience after that.

I think in some casino it can be stated that such amount of winning will be in the news or publicized. This is more of advert to the casino to show that they are genuine, trusted and honest to release cash price as big as it is. It is a confidence that it will give to players that if they happen to have winning it will also be released to them. This is psychological, marketing strategy to win more bettors. It is done to encourage more people to play and try to win because cash out is not a problem to get but if people play more, the casino make more profit.

Obviously I will never be happy if a gambling site publishes winning news without my knowledge because I personally don't want my winnings to be published by anyone including myself. Publishing news of victory is like inviting new problems for me, people can easily track me down to become a crime target. I think gambling sites should maintain their reputation so that they are always crowded and can maintain the privacy of visitors for security from the terror of crime.
Privacy these days is not a thing to be taken lightly, mostly when it regards huge amounts being won or huge amounts of other earnings or rewards made public.  Unless one likes the attention that comes with gaining many audiences and intends to be greeted or announced in such a way, it would be doing too much by the gambling agent or casino to publicize such. 
Crime these days never sleep and any of such news on social media or around a vicinity would welcome unwarranted noses with mischievous aims and even relatives or long forgotten foes who had written off such a one.
It is always wise to be discreet and let only a handful know, for security and better investment reasons.

1xBit.. recovered their reputation

I don't see any reason that will make someone to announce his winning in gambling , it is risky to do that and no reasonable person will announce win like this.
 The only reason why one will want to showcase gambling victory is to make a boast  with it.
don't be arrogant and show off because it will make you unlucky

other than to boast, those who show off their gambling winnings mostly have a goal to spread their referral link and attract more gamblers to follow them, if those really win naturally then they will be afraid of their privacy and will feel threatened by any form of publicity

I am also a supporter of anonymity and also prefer to remain in the shadows, but if we look around, we see that quite a large number of people live without hiding their wealth and personally I do not observe such a trend that they are constantly robbed. Each of us knows bloggers, streamers, artists who earn big money. They behave openly enough with the society and flaunt their wealth. Why don't they get robbed, but if you win a large sum of money in a casino, you are bound to be visited by intruders?

Maybe this is due to a change in the social status of a person? I mean that those people who are already rich understand how to save their money (and probably multiply), and they have a lot of experience dealing with all sorts of crooks who tried to profit at their expense. The "new" rich do not have such experience (especially in the case of winning the casino or the lottery where you become rich in one moment and do not go to this for a long time), so they can be easily deceived by various crooks at this "high" level. To avoid this, they want to remain anonymous.

I am not sure if you have seen >this<, that young man won over roughly $50,000(#34m) on sports bet last week with just $1.2 (#800) and the whole of his street was over the celebration, he couldn't hide the joy as he runs into a mosque to give thanks to God.  Grin
This kind of joy is hard to hide, no matter how you intend to hide it, it will naturally explode out from you, especially if its a sum of money you have never seen before in your lifetime, this kind of luck is rare but gambling does give the opportunity to win something big.

The downside of this is you will be exposed to dangers and likely becomes a target by criminals, your enemies may become jealous of you and may do something to hurt you. A winning game should remain within the player and preferably should be played online, no one will ever know that you won a fortune.

It really depends on where you live and who knows you. I'm not sure without an escort you will be very safe in an area where the population is quite prone to robbery if someone knows you as a rich person. Many incidents have happened to artists and even a football player has experienced it like what happened to Aubameyang some time ago.

Financial privacy is a good way to keep things from happening in the real world, you don't even have to tell your friends how much wealth you currently have even though your are friends. The world is cruel mate, so always be careful.

It's dangerous to announce such winnings at your local community where people around you can be a threat to your physical integrity, but I don't see it as being dangerous when you win at an online crypto casino and announce it in the virtual community, because on this case you are sharing your winning's announcement with people from the whole world who have no idea who you are and where you live, and even though if they have a clue about your location and nationality, it doesn't make difference at all, as they aren't going to leave their original countries to scam you somehow.

You just have to be careful to not share your crypto deposit address, wallet and where your money is going to be stored in order to avoid hacking attempts which can come from anywhere on the internet.

There are two possibilities here. One is that the winner has no objection making himself public and telling everyone that he has one big. This would be chosen by those who want to tell their friends and family that they have done a big achievement by winning large amount in gambling. These people want to show off their big winnings and they don't care about the other consequences like being noticed by the thieves etc.

The 2nd category of people do not want to tell anyone as they are afraid of the society and also want to avoid the evil minded people who could be harmful for him as now he has got money.

I believe both of these two types of people have different opinion about it and both are right at their sides.

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.

I've never seen whether it would be published or not.

If a gambling site publishes a winner with a large number of winning bets, then the benefits obtained by the gambling site are that they get good ratings from potential players who have not joined and those who have joined but have never experienced big wins.

Prospective players will assume that the gambling site is trusted and will not cheat, so they (prospective players) will register. 
Likewise, players who have joined will be more enthusiastic about playing because if they win a large amount, they will be paid as well.

Meanwhile, if the gambling site publishes the winnings of players who win in large numbers then the winner, on the one hand will face other risks such as robbery and other unwanted negative risks.

It is better if the gambling site asks the winner for permission to publish it in order to maintain positive things that do not harm both parties.
