If I won a large sum of money in a casino, I would prefer that my personal data not be disclosed to the public, because otherwise it could be considered a violation of privacy. In my opinion, in such a situation, the decision should be made by the person who got lucky. If he wants to brag to the public, why not give him the opportunity to do so. But someone who values his privacy would never agree to that.

Sometimes the gambling site will publish your information that this man won this much amount from our casino and you can try your luck too. They do it for advertising purpose but in fact this could make the person in trouble who have won a large amount of money. They should at least get consent from the gambler before publishing the personal information.

Also, it is not always about the security threat that you want to hide your identity. People hide their identity because they do not want the tax authorities to bring problems for them and also they do not want their friends n family to know that they now have money and those family/friends start asking for monetary help or loans.

Here in my country in the case of lottery I believe people who wins the biggest prices have the option not to appear in TV, which is reasonable.
When comes to casinos, I am not sure how it works, since I have not seen people on TV talking about their winning in our casinos, then I assume there is some grade of privacy.
On online casinos, I have seen there are options not to show off one's winnings to other users on the recent bets tables, they are displayed anonymously instead.



I don't mind being publicized as long as I will get the winning. I can think of that later on.

It's already usual that many people will know our winnings and it's not new. To take care of ourselves, I know we already know some safe things to do. We can't control people that's why to be ready.

Depending where you live, I believe you would appreciate more or less the fact of a casinos guarding your right to privacy, specially when comes to money.
Keep in mind that those safety measures you mention would be more effective if the casino did not display your face/name and the money you just pocketed.  Wink

Gambling sites don't need to do that, without publishing news of the winnings that their visitors just got, gambling sites are still crowded. Publishing winnings should not be done by gambling sites, visitors may think that the published winning news is a lie or is anonymous. Let those involved there know about these big wins, gambling sites should not go any further which can reduce visitor confidence.

I think it will depend on each casino's policy.

I don't think there's even a policy regarding that.
It is the casinos responsibility to secure their client especially that we're talking about money. Winners (especially in lottery)
will never be announced publicly with their names and any crucial info for their safety.
There should always be another way to announce it without mentioning the specific winner.
Lotteries and local casinos in my region only announced winners that the current jackpot pool has already been grabbed, without mentioning any named or from where they were situated.
We will never know what regulations or policies are written and unwritten in the casino. Indeed casinos need to be responsible for securing their clients who can win a lot of money from the lottery because that can lure criminals to try to get close to them.

I agree with the local casinos in your area by simply mentioning their name or where they are from because it will give the winner a sense of security and can avoid criminals. It would be better if all casinos could do this for the safety of the big winners in their casinos.

Sometimes people win such amount of money but the problem is that they will not have the time to let anyone know because of security purpose, but what i know is that the lost of people who plays gambling, if we should calculate the statistics, i will tell you that the one of people lose will be higher, and when people lose in gambling the information will circulates to the environment, but when they win. They will have to keep it on low so that people will not trace them, i think that should be one of the things that make people not expose their winning.
When a gambler wins a large amount of money, he experiences joy as well as panic. He thinks that if people get to know about that winning, enmity can increase. There may be a terrorist attack on him to snatch the money. As a result, a gambler naturally tries not to reveal his greatness. On the other hand, when the gambler loses, he has no difficulty in saying that he has lost. He has no problem saying that he lost. Basically these works are done for the sake of security.

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.

Government-hosted gambling activities like lottery will be publicized that the jackpot has been won but will make the winner anonymous.  A private establishments like Casino won't publicize their player winnings.  I believe it is part of data privacy law.  So you don't need to worry about leakage if you are playing in a reputable casino.

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.

It is really dangerous to make the person who won a huge amount in public.  It will cater lots of harmful attention especially to criminals which main source of income is robbing.

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?

Gambling platform has a responsibility to protect their player identity, in case the winnings need to be announced in public, they will need the player's consent on this except if the agreement between the two entity is agreed that whoever wins will be announced publicly.  But I think the gambling site will just announce the result with the winner being anonymous or given an alias.

In the case of most lotteries where the prize won can be huge the winners are given the option to let themselves be known or to keep their identity a secret, to me this is the right path to take, those which want to publicize their win can do so and get all the attention they deserve for a short amount of time, while those which are more reticent to let the world know about their win can keep this information private and only tell to their loved ones about this situation.

I'm not really sure if it is being publicized on not. In land base casino's I don't see names, I just saw that in this day, this x amount of money has been won, no names.

For the lottery, we might see the images of individuals claiming the prize money with that huge check with pictorial purposes but their faces are blurred out. But I do agree that the names shouldn't be made public because it is very dangerous for the individual. He/she could be a target for a kidnap for random, so yes, possible of physical harm.
For me, there’s no wrong actually if casinos publicize every time there are huge winnings happening in that certain casino as it’s a part of their advertisement, that they can be reliable and can eventually grant a huge payout without delay, provided that their real names will not be disclosed. Just like in lottery, every time the jackpot prize was hit, they will eventually announce to the public that there is already a lucky winner, but rest assured their personal identity will not be disclosed. Otherwise, the winner will be a target for scamming, and the lottery staff might be blame for that.

Most of the casinos ask for our username or alias, I think it's okay if they'll publicized it as long as our real name will not appear. I mean, when gambling, we would appreciate if they will give us privacy and that includes keeping our information private. That way, it will protect our safety and casinos would also be safe in case the name of the winner will caught the attention of the authorities.

If we talk about the level of anonymity that casinos offers, then it's not that good. They might require full KYC or AML to withdraw your winnings but this whole process is quite shady so an identity on their systems might be compromised and exposed to others. And they can use it to get your personal information and use it for their own purposes. It is possible that some casinos might even sell this data to third parties. Even if your real identity isn’t exposed while you’re playing online, there are tons of other ways in which casinos can potentially violate your privacy. They do this to maximize their profits, by gathering your demographic information, behavior patterns and even psychological makeup. Some casinos track your movements on their websites, by using cookies and other types of software. This way they can collect the data about what you do while playing and how long you spend on a certain page or game. They also use this information to optimize their websites for better conversions and revenue from players. This information can be used to create targeted advertising campaigns and increase their revenue. Even though this doesn’t seem like an issue, it is still a breach of your privacy.

I think it will depend on each casino's policy because there are casinos that do not announce the winner's full name and abbreviate their name so as not to provoke bad things that can happen to the winner. But there may also be a casino that will provide the winner's full name so that the public can find out.

Or we can ask the casino not to mention our name as the winner, but the casino has already mentioned it publicly. But maybe for online casinos, they only mention the winner's anonymous name and their other signs. In addition, the casino will also definitely notify the winner privately that he is the winner.

This is right. So far crypto casino doesn’t have records of users personal info unless they undergo on KYC so it’s impossible for them announce it publicly and also there ToS stated that they should protect players privacy which means they can’t do it without the player consent. 10K profit is just a normal day for whale players that has a 6 to 7 digit balance on there casino. I think the only time that I saw the name of a winner is through the casino main event giveaway but in a form of username and not there personal identity.

Even IRL casino and government lottery doesn’t do this kind of public announcement for big time winners.

To begin with some lottery winners have to give their consent for some details such as; name, city/ town of residence, photograph (of true current appearance), prize details, occupation to be published. They do not publish these information - age
address or other contact information, personal information belonging to a third party. As far as I can tell, I have heard about gamblers winning big in the bookies but I have never seen them publish the information. It is usually a friend, who tells a friend and that's how the public becomes aware etc.

Some site used those winnings to attract more gamblers and I think that's fine as long as they will not exposed the real name of the winner but sometimes some gamblers think it's a fake advertisements. The security of every gambler is very important, you should not exposed your big winnings if you think it will not be safe for you, it's better to keep it a secret. I'm thinking what will you get if you exposed your winnings? I think its more about your pride.

It should not be publicized I have not known casinos that openly publicize the name of their winners without their permission its risky they are literally putting their clients at risk, if they have this kind of policy then they should state this before letting people play in their casinos, and they also should grant request from their clients that they don't want their information to be exposed I don't want to patronize this kind of casinos even if I'm a small player, there's still possible that I can win big in the future.

I think that there are some online gambling websites that publish or show real-time winnings on their website and the amount wagered by a certain player. But I do not think that they will certainly disclose the actual name of these players, despite having a KYC function required by them.

Like what some have asked, does the USA publicize the winners of their lottery? Like what you mentioned, this will pose some serious and potential threats of danger to their security if this should happen.
