Players in over 50 countries are unable to gamble in GTA Online’s Diamond Casino update
The GTA Online Diamond Casino and Resort has opened its doors and players are enjoying all it has to offer - cars, missions, cosmetic stuff, and of course - the casino games themselves. With three card poker, roulette, blackjack, and slot machines included in the update, the Diamond resort appears to offer a pretty full casino experience - but not for all players, it seems. Players in over 50 countries are discovering that some of the update’s features are inaccessible to them - and it’s likely linked to local gambling laws.
Since its launch, some Redditors (via PCGamer) have begun compiling a list of countries with gambling bans affecting the casino’s availability - and it currently sits at over 50 entries. Some are perhaps unsurprising - like North Korea - while others have caveats that suggest availability could potentially be possible in the future if developer Rockstar applied for (and was granted) government licenses from those countries, such as Portugal and Malta.
The casino lets you use real money to purchase in-game currency, which you can then use to spend on its games. Though it’s not confirmed, the reason some players have found parts of the update inaccessible could be that Rockstar has limited the casino’s features in countries where they could contravene gambling laws.
