I have also never experienced or there was someone among someone I know that they had any problems with payments withdrawals from casinos. Not with online, nor with offline. Even during "wild 90s" such stories passed by everyone I know. What I heard only were stories when someone got kicked from offline casino after winning big, which turned to be being kicked due to being drunk and not winning anything at all. At it was more like an excuse for others. Or a stories from newbies that either violated ToS, or tried to cheat, so casinos were forced to refuse to pay winnings.
Just like you, I have never experienced it and I think as long as we play in a place that has a high reputation and we obey the rules that apply at that casino, then we will never experience that, such as being refused payment and so on.
Because for me there must be a reason for the casinos to refuse payments from their users. I'm not sure if a reputable casino will simply refuse payment without any particular reason.
I think casinos dont necessary must be a highly reputable. Any casino pay winnings, as long as this casino does not look like a completely scam that was created in few hours only to steal gamblers deposits. I think that a person himself must put enough effort (and I would stress on "enough effort", as in a fight for a customer, casinos close eyes on little rules violations gamblers make) to get asked for kyc, find shady casino or have his withdrawals frozen.
It’s crucial for gamblers to remain vigilant and informed about the places where they choose to play. While it’s true that many casinos will overlook minor infractions in the spirit of customer retention, this doesn’t eliminate the risk of encountering issues with withdrawals or other disputes. The onus is on the player to ensure they are engaging with a reputable establishment and to be aware of the terms of service and the legal framework within which the casino operates.
And its not only seek casinos with good reputations, for example, brand new casinos can indeed be trustworthy and offer excellent service. Many new establishments enter the market aiming to build a strong reputation through transparency, customer service, and compliance with regulations. They often adopt the latest technologies for security and gaming fairness to attract and retain customers.
However, the caution with newer casinos lies in their lack of an established track record. This doesn’t automatically imply they are untrustworthy, but it does mean that players should be particularly diligent. It’s advisable for players to look into any new casino’s licensing details, owner information, customer reviews, and their adherence to industry standards before committing significant amounts of money.
