Because of being spotted as having an IP from a country that bans online gambling, have you ever had a casino refuse to pay out your winnings? How do you deal with this?

I have never known any that would let you get that far into the game to start with. Either most do not check IP's or they block the entire country IP range.

I've never been blocked from gambling site but then I live in a country where it is legal. It must be awfully frustrating-and ultimately a bit of a scam to be allowed to deposit your money, play, but then not be able to take out your winnings.

I agree - it is very much like a scam. That would be really frustrating for me, too... but I guess there's not really much you can do if they refuse to pay you your winnings. Other than ask for your original deposit back, I guess, although I doubt that will get you very far, either.

My guess is that they may get around it by stating that there is nothing wrong with you playing there-just that you cannot get the money out. So perhaps they would let you play till the account ran out of money.

As it seems many places are still up in the air as to the gambling online being legal or not I really do not see many places in too much of a fret to worry about banning those who play on their sites.

More of a problem will be laws like Kentucky is trying to pass. If they succeed then I am sure that other states will follow, and then the US will really have a problem.

I would really think that if you went to a site that said no for the country you reside in, their admin would do some type of stop to prevent you from even loading the game from their site.
