Casinos shouldn't be allowed to freeroll players.
OBVIOUSLY, I AGREE Casinos use self exclusion lists as a source of revenue.
NO - SOME (ROGUE) casinos do...not "casinos" full stop Lose ... they keep your money. Win ... oops, you self excluded, here's your deposit back ... you're welcome, we could have kept it you know.
SOME (ROGUE) casinos do that I'm sure.
Casinos shouldn't be allowed to have their cake and eat it too.
Obviously, I agree.
And I recant. It's only about a 99.99% chance that the casino would have noticed the self exclusion upon cashout.
You're forgetting something vital here....there may not BE an SE to NOTICE in the first place. If the SE only covers ONE specific casino or casino group, then the chances of another operator knowing are almost NIL. Unless the casinos are related via ownership, and/or the player specifically asked for and was granted a SE from the ENTIRE group, then NO SE applies....hence, the deposits are valid, as are WINS and the LOSSES equally.
So, unless you know for a FACT that a) the OP excluded from ALL Oddsmatrix casinos (confirmed in writing) or b) the casino would NOT have paid any winnings (and you DON'T and CAN'T)...then your argument is null and void.
Also, people who think casinos should be able to profit off those with gambling problems are terrible people.
If you think it's ok for a casino to
Allow self exclusion
YES
Take deposits without checking the self exclusion list
NO...but it happens occasionally even with good operators e.g. players signing up with different email etc to circumvent the system or for no malicious reason at all. It's called human error.
Keep the deposits if they're lost
YES....as long as the player did not SE at that specific casino or that entire group specifically
Confiscate winnings and return deposit if there's a win
NO. The player should be paid and their account closed. Good operators will do this...rogues will not.
Then you think it's ok for casinos to profit off people with a gambling problem.
Also, it's not clear that the OP's situation falls into this category.
Exactly my point
However, it is clear that many casinos think this behavior is just fine. And it's sadly clear that there are a lot of players that applaud them for it.
ALL casinos....accredited and otherwise....profit from those with gambling problems. It's a large part of how casinos make money, both online and offline. The percentage of addicts playing is actually quite high (I will try to dig up where I read about that years ago).
So, I guess that not only are all the casino owners/managers/staff "terrible people", but so is Bryan and Co for being OK with casinos making a profit.
You're lumping ALL casinos in the same basket as ROGUE casinos, which is absolutely ridiculous....and you know it. You're just trying to make the casinos to be "the bad guys", when the reality is that only SOME of them are...and there is NO evidence that the casino in question is dodgy.
The only thing I "applaud" is FAIRNESS. In other words, if you are SE at a casino, and you somehow manage to slip under the radar and make deposits, then those deposits are LEGITIMATE. Hence, if you WIN, you get paid....if you LOSE, you LOSE. Simples. If you're trying to say that you SE at that casino/group, when in fact you did NOT, just to get your losses back, then you're a ROGUE player who is no better than a ROGUE casino.
If you really think all casinos "freeroll" problem gamblers/players in general...and you clearly do from your posts.....then one could draw the inference that you were supporting these "terrible people" by playing, which makes you part of the "scam", which makes you no better.
