On Stake.com they publicized the winning bet and the game but there's an option if you want your privacy kept by doing some tinkering in the settings.

But there are those who just use usernames so it's not really their names that will be shown unless he did want his name to be shown publicly.
I don't think they are showing this in media outlets or anything, it's all just for the record if ever mistakes happen, a glitch, or for customer support if ever a user thinks an error happened.
National Lottery though, gives an option for the winner if he/she wants to go public.

Don't put your real name on it. That's how you secure your privacy. About them publicly telling the winner is with full name and details then that is wrong.
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 will only approve my username to be publicized if I win big in Casino or gambling in my country revealing my indentity can be very dangerous considering the high rate of kidnapping and other criminal activities taking place especially in my locality, honestly online gambling sites has brought succour to anonymous gamblers, it's the best means of gambling that cover up a gambler even among his/her colleagues, relatives e.t.c compared with physical gambling shop where winning a huge amount of money or jackpot will made such  person a popular figure at the expenses of personal safety of that winner.
Even after winning big amount in gambling we don't know about that person. What every gambler needs with an interest in hiding personal information. Because if that information is leaked then the gambler may face various disadvantages. It is need to keep the information confidential for his safety. And this information is more secure when the gambler is gambling in online. Any big win in online is safe. It is not possible to get any information from anyone.

This is why some gambling companies ask for kyc, they will have to know the kind of job you do that will fetch you big money to win Big rewards. that is by the way, if they want to publicize the winning they will not attach it to your personality, they will only have to post on their website or newspaper about that winning to make other people understand that such winning can be achieved in gambling.
They will not add your name or your passport to the winning but they can say an anonymous person won so amount of money

I do not see a reason for you to be afraid if you legitimately won the bet, the forum should not be an issue either because this forum is anonymous enough. Nevertheless, you can't avoid this if you won a huge amount of money, especially through a lotto and others, it is the right of the company to publish your name. And if they pay you indeed, it is in their honour to do this, which is another avenue for them to advertise that they pay irrespective of how much you won. I have read many stories of big winners online and offline, but I have not read of anyone being attacked due to the publicity.

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?

Mostly here in the crypto arena we are in pseudo anonymous mode since we are playing with crypto and most of the times the casino that publish such big wins has only a user ID and nothing else when they publish the news,they do not take data from KYC they may have as that can be cause for the user to sue back the casino by publishing personal information without consent so no casino does this without permission.

Beside that most users post their winnings from what I have seen in the ANN thread of the casino or in different threads related to big wins,of course they just show the screenshot and that is enough evidence for me and it is not risky at all.

AFAIK the real danger is family members and "friends" lottery winners haven't seen in years suddenly showing up and asking for handouts.   Cheesy
I agree.

When you're outspoken and vocal about your money publicly, danger could follow you and worse if your family is being involved. That's why don't be too outspoken about it and keep it to your and to the people whom you trust.

Be subtle on it and you don't have to celebrate that with people that are not there when you've bet for it. They'll be your friends temporarily and when you're gone out of money again, they'll dump you.

If a gambler's winning prize refers to a large amount and the gambler is unwilling to disclose it, the casino platform will never disclose it. Because if that gambler is disappointed then he will dislike to play gambling on that particular platform. This is definitely convey loss of the casino company. Usually in the case of big wins, the person's name is often anonymous, only the amount of the winnings is published.

It makes no sense for a casino to disclose someone's personal data, especially since it would most likely be illegal. You are also right, it would worsen the reputation, but since I have not seen such cases, it means that if they happen, it is extremely rare. But if you are registered at the casino under a username that, of course, is different from your real name and you have not passed verification, then you simply have nothing to worry about...

It depends on the laws of your country whether to publicized it and even if the site does publicize a user's winnings, it is very difficult to find someone in your personal life through a username because you would never create a username using your real name.  And there is no problem in doing so.  Because it is normal that there will be more than one person in a country with the same name.  And no casino will ever publicized anyone's personal identity so I don't think that would be a problem.

If I'm not mistaken, we already have a thread discussing the same subject.
but regarding the publication of lottery winners or the like related to gambling, most lottery lottery winners are usually always published with the name of the winner, but not with the detailed address and place of residence.

As for crypto casinos, I think your fears are overblown, after all I've never seen any of the casinos we have here publish someone earning with the bet amount you mention in this post. except, he was someone famous. the reason is, there are many.
so don't worry, it looks like it will never happen. you will always be safe with the privacy you have, after all I personally don't really think about things like what you say here.

I'm not sure about casinos, but I would say not in general, at least where I live, unless it is part of a promotion that has in the ToS become public. Not in lotteries either, if you win, nobody will know if you don't make it public, as happens with Euromillions, for example.

In these things, the less you publicise it the better. It's one thing if you win €1,000 and another if it's a million or a hundred million. Although I suppose it's harder to go unnoticed if you win a hundred million because the level of spending is obviously going to increase.

But if you get an amount in between, say €250,000, it's better not to advertise it, and it's an amount you can handle without anyone noticing much.

True, there are a lot of this kind of story in our country when suddenly you have a lot of relatives waiting for free money.

I think statistically more than 80% of lottery winners end up impoverished and in debt without a short timeframe. While we are prone to looking outside of ourselves for biggest dangers and threats. The most likely scenario for failure with winning the lottery is usually our own lack of self control. Lack of discipline. Lack of knowledge for how to cope with and grow wealth. The same precedent could apply to countries nationally. People love movies about alien invasions and a zombie apocalype. But looking around the world today, the biggest dangers appear to be our own mismanagement of money and natural resources.
Yeah and you don't know if winning lottery is a cursed or what. It supposed to give you a good lifestyle, even to your families. Unfortunately, there are winners who don't know how to control and with this huge money on their pocket, they simply by everything including to their close relatives that makes them bankrupt in the next couple of years and those who you help during that time of your money and fame will suddenly disappear. Just but true. But for those winners who manage to stay low key, then congrats to them. Investment in the key.

Its good for lottery organizers to publicize winners. It causes the public to feel like the lottery is more real and less of a scam. Factcheckers can scrutinize winners for connections to lottery organizers to prove its not rigged. It gives people confidence they might someday be a winner.

Lottery organizers would definitely be that showcasing that huge win or lottery winners and you are right that there are people would be always having those doubts if the said lottery is fair and not been involved

with some draw fixing or to those winners which arent related to the lottery organizers or into their kins on certain degree. Whether they would be asking out some permission or would directly be that exposing
those winners.
Its true that even those so long friends which you havent seen for years will definitely be popping out like mushrooms once they had heard off on the huge hit.
Its true that winners most of the time do waste up those money that they had get and didnt able to manage it right until they do go broke after how many years or depending
on how fast they do spend up those win amounts.

Not even in lottery the real name of the winners are usually disclosed for an obvious reason... the privacy and security of the winners.
When it comes to casinos (especially those that accept cryptocurrencies) this privacy should be even greater, and in fact it is greater.
I don't recall ever seeing a winner's name or real identification, what I see is usually just the prize value.

I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.
It usually isn't. At least from the casinos or lotteries, I've experienced they don't. The most that they reveal afaik was the location of the winner, and the most recent one was with the lottery issue in the PH where they revealed the number of users and their location afaik, but not their names. Casinos even more so, online casinos would at most reveal their usernames or something similar, land based casinos would only be known if you were on the spot and they wouldn't go as far as to publicly announce it.

If winners were shown willy nilly like that, I hardly doubt said casinos would have any users at all. A LOT of people want to be anonymous when they win big since a LOT of relationships tend to be complicated when one side suddenly earns a big amount of money at once.

I do think that in most cases, gambling sites are not announcing the name of the winner in public.

Instead, they are mentioning the name by its username and you should often see that if you subscribe to a mailing list of a certain gambling site.

That's also the case in fiat online gambling sites I believed. A username is only what is mentioned in the public.

In Casino I think there will still be some level of privacy entailed to your winnings. Not much information will be divulged for security reasons and for sure you will still be asked by the casino if you want to share that you've won a huge amount. It is imperative that the casino SHOULD NOT do this without the consent of the winner because it puts the winner's security at risk, and we know how it works when huge amounts of money is involved. Privacy is important in this day and age, and if someone failed to do that, it could even lead to legal action that will seriously hurt the casino's reputation.

I think permission is really very important considering that some people may mind and some people may not mind. A casino may like to publicize it to prove to people that day still have winners, so more persons can come use them. In a case where a winner do not want to be publicized and then a casino would like to show the public that they still have winners, they can meet at a compromise and decide to use different names which do not correspond to the correct name of the winner, and if there is a picture requirement, it can be taken but something be done to make the winner not easily recognisable/identifiable.
