Topic: More revelations on the challenges of physical casinos - page 11. (Read 2595 times)

Severally sport bettors have faced this kind of challenge when they win big amount, because at the point of winning the Gambling agent may become very greedy to want to play a smart one of the gambler, but at the end of the day if the ticket can be presented to the head quarter of the casino, heay get settled from there on.


This case have happened to many people before and that may be the reason why most of the sport betting platforms always place limits to how much a betting agent can handle in term of payout of gambling winnings, because that will help them to eliminate such scam attempt from the betting agent.

Of a truth online casino really guarantee ones privacy because when  one gambles nobody would know about it even when you win too nobody would know  or hear about it. It remains a secret between you and the casino and just as you have said, it can only get revealed when the casino is likely hacked and informations of gamblers registered with the casino is being publicly displayed.

Secondly you receiving promotional emails from casinos you did not register with seems fishy because it is either your details have been leaked from a data base which have emails stored there or you must have filled forms before that requires your email and possibly those details must have been traded or leaked which you never can tell. You can block those email addresses from sending you mails for your own safety because you just might be tempted some day to click on it to see their features and then you begin not minding the consequences of what you have done.

Lastly, playing at a casino far away from home is quite alright but the truth is that you never can tell who you will come in contact with in course of going there. You should know one thing that as you are having this type of thought so some other persons elsewhere are having such thought and there is every possibility that amongst a 100 persons you might meet in the casino you might likely meet them somewhere else in the future. So it is not a guaranteed stuff that playing in a casino far away from home is safe. You can talk about comfort when it gets to that point but not thinking of hiding from people when you gamble at a physical casino far away from home.

Exactly. That`s what i`m talking about. I tested one telegram bot - it showed lots of information about phone number - who use it, country, city, address, favorite services, sometimes name and ID. So i don`t cares about it - the main danger today is to lose phone and 2FA.

Every casinos have their own challenges (of course) but the challenges in traditional gamble is more difficult than online casinos, online casinos can be easily operated by any gambler, even if you are a first time gambler you can understand what you are doing. Traditional casinos is different from online casinos and in a traditional casinos there are lot of cheating, either from the manager or from the gamblers. Most times problems happens, mostly when someone lost all his money and he feels very aggressive.

Exactly, those are two different things, the OP is mistaking the physical sport betting shops for a casino which could also be compared to an online betting site they're different things altogether and I doubt if a casino would be that greedy not to pay off a customer even when they've showed prove of winning, left for me I think the court in that  country was bias, no offence and  the agent who tried to scam the bet winner is supposed to be arrest and fined for such act.

 Also, I'll like to add that everyone have their preferences and it depends on  the society one find themselves in, those living in an urban location would prefer to bet online at their comfort with any device while those in rural areas or those that are not able to operate gadgets nor are registered with an online sports betting company would rather go to a physical sports betting to place their bet. Nevertheless the agent is to be blamed for scam and not the company.

If we should go by gambling challenges in general, both the physical and online have theirs, we are the ones that should know what we are doing in the sense that none got to deceive us and cheat on us, another thing we have to consider is when we don't know our rights, it will be taken from us and when we are deprived of it, we still don't see it as something bad done on us, I believed that someone that knows and understands more better about gambling wouldn't fall for this kind of trick.

I agree to this, the only way to your privacy will be exposed to the public is when the casino database was leaked which already happened in the past. In fact, I’m always receiving a promotional email from different casino that I didn’t know regularly on my spam mails.

Although playing in physical casino makes feel comfortable especially privacy since I leave far away from the casino which means there’s a very low chance I will met someone I knew there but playing online casino will give you the maximum privacy especially if the casino you are playing doesn’t ask for KYC.

People need to stop playing bets anywhere they see available, what is the use of getting robbed after many failed attempts to get lucky when gambling, it is not easy, always do your research about a gambling location before using them, unfortunately you can't escape this if you prefer offline betting over online, this is one of its disadvantages.

Bet agents are humans, they are not programmed like a robot or bots to process your wining fund straight away after you win, they have human minds and it's most time more uglier than any living thing in the world, if what you win is much they can plan to cheat or rob you, they can even plan to take your life, be very careful.

I choose online gambling because I don't want to be monitored, no one will see many as a gambler and if I get lucky no one will know that I just won a big amount of money, it will be a secret between the casino and I only.

The only reason why I prefer physical gambling is that you can not become a gambling addict easily why going to physical shops because there are some times when your work or job will not give you the chance to place a bet that day so you can literally discard playing gambling till the next day or some other time but the problem is in such case like this because most betting agents are very dubious in character and this is also one of the reasons why I choose to bet in companies that if you don't present the betting slip your winning can not be withdrawn by anyone. Playing gambling in companies that have the liberty to withdraw a winning even when the winning slip have not been presented is very risky.

Now betting online makes one become addicted easily because you have the privilege to book bet at any time at all even when you are at your work place which is not a good idea at all, though it makes your gambling lifestyle private and in a case of withdrawal, only you are aware of the money you won and withdrawn but their are still some scam betting companies that when you request for withdrawal it takes too many processes before the withdrawal can be processed and some challenges of KYC are also encountered whereas in physical betting in a gambling shops KYC is not needed but only the winning slip.

Another risk of betting offline is that as soon as a huge amount is won in that betting shop a lot of people are aware because some agents literally announce it to impress others to know that people are still winning big thereby to entice them to continue playing as they can also be lucky to win big and when the winner comes for his winning some people are also aware of who the winner is which can be dangerous because it can expose one to criminals that might start monitoring his activities and to rob him of his money but however, I don't even see a reason for someone to be greedy as you can literally place bets that the outcome isn't too high to avoid being scammed or going through a lot of processes just to claim the winning.

and also to what we felt that day , if we wanted to keep private then gamble
in online casino but if wanted to be exposed and enjoy with real person then better
to go in Casino houses in which  you will have interaction to people around the place
this is what some of my gambler friends do , they are playing in both physical and online
casinos.
and we are lucky to have bitcointalk as a  medium to find what is better casino
to play with.

Some establishments may require that if a huge amount is exceeded, they can name the player’s first and last name in order to provide themselves with greater advertising and show that this is a real player, and not just an anonymous one. By the way, this is probably what they do in lotteries. In poker, for example, we will not be able to maintain anonymity because large bets can be shown online and the faces of many will be visible, as well as the winner, if he is not covered with a mask all the time. I wonder if it’s possible to come to the casino with a mask, but I think that the bouncers will throw us out into the courtyard and laugh, because the player will look like a robber 

What are you trying to imply by saying you not get out alive winning a lot of money in traditional casino? I don't subscribe to that thought and that's because I have known and heard about people that won millions using traditional casino's or sports bet and are walking on the street living their everyday life after collecting the money.

I know one of the reasons some gamblers fail to use traditional casino's to use online is because of the fear of their security when they will large amount of money and it's then it goes public throughout the casino and it's environs. If you're one of such persons then you don't have to worry as you can always negotiate with the  casino management to keep you anonymous  without a third party knowing the identity of the winner.

If it is money, everything can change, especially when someone who is an agent sees a lot of money. He was able to run away with the winnings that were supposed to go to the winner. That will harm the winner and also give a bad reputation to the betting shop.

But it is true that it also happens in online casinos and not just in offline casinos. We may often hear that some people cannot withdraw their money from the casino because the casino provides too many requirements. That is an excuse often used by online casinos over time and successfully to delay their payouts to their winners.

At least that is a lesson for all of us to be smart in choosing betting shops. We have to really check what the reputation of the betting shop is, whether in offline or online casinos. For offline betting shops, it looks like we have to look more carefully to find a betting shop that will not delay payment to the winner.

For me I think as long as traditional casinos can operate on daily basis and make bi players play on their edge, then they could still last. I believe the lesson in here is to really, only play with reliable casinos where they have verified payouts from their previous participants. In terms of online gambling, be aware of hidden rules and the activeness of customer service for any problem. And for traditional casinos, my biggest concern was always been my security. There's no point if I won a lot but I can't et out alive right?

Its sadden that land based sport betting sites agents will continue to give a bad reputation to land base gambling companies who without delay had always paid customers their won cash immediately their bet ticket is approved. However these pattern of scam is not peculiar to land based casinos or sport betting shops alone but similar to online gambling sites too.

In same way we are concerned with the reputation and financial capacity of online gambling platforms before making use, same should also be applied when we're to make use of land based sport betting agents shops to place our bets. There are some bet shops that by the outlook of the bet-shop I won't be encouraged to make use of it because some of these agents that owns these bet shop's are penurious and hungry that they don't care disappearing with any huge win from a customer. Play in mega shops!

Yes, it's not an exclusive issue with physical casinos, as we can be also scammed by online casinos. In fact, it has already happened many times here in crypto universe and there was even a very popular virtual crypto casino being promoted here, which was flagged for that reason. I'm not sure if we could define if physical casinos are better or worse in this case, because it really depends from case to case. Thinking about it right now, I have the impression virtual casinos are still better, because reviews about them can be found instantly and in real time, from a wide range of players who bet from different places in the world, giving more legitimacy and neutrality to the reviews.

Physical casinos, however, have a more limited base of customers, what can prejudice the ability of gamblers when looking for reviews about the casino. After all, physical casinos are a falling kind of business, as the tendency is that virtual services replace most of them (probably more than 90% of them).

Curruption can be low tech or high tec really, you can steal by going after the local shops - something as old as humanity itself... pay for protection and all that. However,  there is also similar ways of going after the technological on-line business in many states that hold that type of power. It requires a more systematic organisation, but it is certainly a possibility.

I have heard of more similar stories too, and here on the forum, we have seen a lot of complaints from people who didn't get what they won from the casino. And if it weren't for the pressure on the casino and the threat to their reputation, some people would never get justice. Sad truth...

But unfortunately, not all those situations end positively, some casinos do not give in even under various pressures. Several such casinos are still operating and cheating people, and every now and then a new story emerges that remains high in the air with no hope of being solved. So it is very important to choose wisely the casino where we are going to gamble, it is not enough to just look at reviews in one place.

Those who have more money, those who have more power are able to offer a lot of money to obtain a great benefit, so if I see that there are more problems with a casino and they take it to Court, it is very common for this to happen , they will always be available. favor of the casinos and even more so when they offer them money, then in the face of these things many more things can be Generated, it is very difficult when a person, or a player , beats a casino, because they do have to prove many things, and based on The casinos have everything, they have the Software , they have everything based on legality and unless the casino has really failed, they will look for a way to fix the error so that it is released, this is in the case of casinos that are not very authentic , because most Trustworthy casinos avoid these types of problems.

There is also some kind of news similar to this one in our country. But the lady refuses to accept the supposedly winning money because it is not a jackpot and so what she did is go to social media and pressure the casino itself to give him the full jackpot winnings. And in one interview, the host called the casino themselves and with the pressure of their reputation on the line, they don't have any choice but to give the lady is full winners. And it so end in happy ending.

However, it could be very different on some individuals who just chooses to accept less money. People inside the casinos are also corrupt and maybe this is one reason why they didn't want to grant the winnings first. But when they are pressure by law, then they will have to abide and pay what is right.
