Will A Casino Ban You For Winning

Some online casino players worry that if they are lucky to encounter a winning streak or enjoy small wins each day for a period of time that they will be banned from the online casino that they are playing at. While others worry that if they hit a big jackpot, they will not be permitted to login to their player account to withdraw their winnings. With a card counter even then the Casino often won't kick you out unless you are betting really heavily and making a lot of money. You winning is almost an advertisement for blackjack. People see you winning with a fat stack of chips and imagine themselves as you. Sports betting is one of the only forms of gambling where luck is not involved, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to cheat (unless you are the player or coach for the team you're betting on). If you bet huge sums of money and win all the time, can a casino legally ban you?

  You don't suddenly go from being a 'mug gambler', to being so good at it that a national bookie would ban you. I'm willing to bet there's more to this than simply winning too much, or too often.
  Or
  He's drumming up publicity for a website he's about to launch on 'How to beat the bookies'.
  Give it a week, then delete as appropriate.

  New advert
  'Come to XYZ Bookies! - We love losers like you!'

  Can't see what's surprising about this.
  The bookie lays odds based on what they know, if you keep winning you're proving that you know something they don't.
  Would you offer odds to someone who you know to have more knowledge than you?

  But that's the reality of any business, they are entitled to decide who they do or don't want to take business from just as we as consumers can choose who we give our business to - both parties have to agree to a transaction.

  
  I'd say this about sums it up.
  'A spokesman from William Hill said: “It’s nothing to do with showing profit. Mr Harrison and his friends are not the type of people we want in our shops.”' this though annoys me, can you imagine if these guys were in a minority group? 'Not our type of people' should never be written to anyone. >:( >:(

  it'll most likely be a 'method' that's only for sale on his website, I've seen too many stories like this over the years. expect lots of scanned copies of betting slips as 'proof'
  One of them even advertised the Martingale method for roulette and tried to sell it for something ridiculous like £70 or £80 quid.

  Nothing new my grandfather was banned from bookies & bingo halls in the late 70's early 80's for winning too much money. He died in 1990 and the money left in his will was all from his gambling.

  I would offer them a job.

  Used to know a guy who was regularly banned from high-street bookies.
  I'd imagine he'd be happy as a pig in shit, these days, with the rise of online betting.
  He used to have 2 huge ring-binders full of stat's about horses, he'd only ever bet on races where almost all the runners were in his records and he used to pay more attention to the races he didn't bet on so he could add those stat's to his database.
  Eventually he bought himself a laptop and spent months entering all the data into a gigantic spreadsheet.

  Very easy to have a bookies account closed, dont have to win very much either.
  Why should the bookies take your bets if you keep winning.?
  A bookies doesn't have to take any bet. they can place restrictions on your stake and odds if they want as well. it's nothing new. hard part for serious gamblers is getting a bet on.

  It's far harder to get banned from the high street really, as this relies on the staff taking enough notice of all their punters and actually giving a shit. Online is a different ball game altogether. If your account is profitable, bye bye. Simple as that. Although pinnacle sports claim that they never close accounts, I'm pretty sure I've read of cases where they have. That's why most serious punters use betting exchanges like betfair and betdaq. The house has nothing to lose by winning punters since they take a commission percentage off every transaction.

  I tend spread my winnings over different betting companies. Accounts on Paddy power, Betfair, Betvictor, Willhill, Ladbrokes etc, to stop me from getting banned. I don't bet on horse racing either.
  I think you only get banned if you constantly win £1000s? I mean if you were making a profit of a few hundred a year say I doubt any of them give a shit.

  Many post saying they CAN - Well of course they CAN, but isn't that missing the point.
  They are happy to take your money when you are losing but as soon as you start winning you can FO!
  Nice!

  I don't think anybody is missing the point. As you say they are happy to take your money when you are losing...that is the point of a bookies, just like casinos as well.

  Interesting; sounds like they...note the plural...have indeed been running a system; I used to work with an inveterate gambler on the nags and he gave me the run-down of the systems he knew....and of course the bookies know them too, and when they notice a group running them they'll all get barred.

  I think with toe emergence of sites like Betfair, individuals are acting like bookies themselves with little or no risk to themselves.
  Groups go around snapping up early prices offered by the bookies pushing the price down and then laying it off on betfair.
