I'm sure this is something that has been discussed many times, and I did do a search on the forums first.

It seems there is contradictory information out there. Many websites which contain lots of general gambling info seem to suggest that you will not get banned for winning, providing the casino is regulated and you are abiding within the terms and conditions of the site.

I'm sure there are anecdotal cases of people getting banned when they felt they shouldn't have.

My question is this: is it worth deliberately keeping your winning sessions within a certain margin, say 1 standard deviation?
Or deliberately losing once in a while?

How much "winning" would an online casino chalk up to "normal luck" and at what point would they be more likely to shut you down.

Any advice on this topic is appreciated.

I've found that just a few hundred of winnings can see me excluded from getting bonuses. Taking a few thousand a month from legitimately taking offers can then see my account shut down.
But just winning steadily and long term within a few SD of normal draws no heat for a long time.
Deliberately losing once in a while is a bad idea unless you have been coining it from bonus exploits.

You mean in terms of the impact to your own bottom line? Or in terms of drawing too much attention from the casino?

So you think a few thousand a month is too much to get away with then? I wonder if it depends on how much you’re wagering...

Thanks BTW for the reply!

Lots depends on the casino. However if you always win no casino online or land will allow you to play forever.

To reiterate: If what you are taking from them is basically derived from bonuses, then just $500 profit might see you excluded from future bonuses. You might get away with much more, but again, they'll close down your bonuses, not your account.
It takes A LOT more conspicuous winning to actually get banned.
Being lucky and winning without taking bonuses is pretty well tolerated by the places I've played.

I've heard of members of a mainstream online casino getting banned for winning a modest amount by Martingaling with a big bankroll at risk. That strikes me as pretty dumb by the casino.

Deliberately losing will hurt your bottom line and might not keep you off their radar.

Tell us how you are winning before anyone can remotely guess to answer your vague question. Taking advantage of bonuses? Taking advantage of a loss rebate opportunity? Taking advantage of a time limited special rule (BJ pays 3-1). Just lucky at a certain game? Or you found a glitch that is exploitable? What is your average bet? Etc....

I apologize if my vagueness rubbed you the wrong way. For obvious reasons I would rather not spell it out on a public forum.

It does not involve bonuses, promotions, or special rules.

I have no doubt I have been experiencing some good luck so far and that could be part of it. How much is due to luck time will tell.

I am not playing with anything I am not willing to lose.

I am betting 1% of my bankroll for now, I started small with $1 bets to see how things would work. I am now just past $13. So that is the reason for the question. If these results continue, I could be looking at something substantial. I want to avoid setting off their radar for as long as possible.

If more information than that will help you to answer the question, I could PM it to you.

So it seems you found a 'glitch', which to me signifies some exploitable aspect that the on line casino would not allow if it was aware of it. And if they found out that is how you won, they would just not pay you. If you are now up more than $1k I would try to withdraw and see what happens.

Definitely establish that your initial withdrawal gets honoured smoothly.

There are some rules each casino follow in the beginning. I mean when you play bonus free
When you go beyound some amount you won, for instance 1000 usd , they request extra doc verification.
After winning 3k to 7k some online casinos could pay and ban you, other just decide you broke a rule and yoi are out.
If any casino states you broke a certain rule you have very very few chances to cash out
Game comissions seldom help, for instance, curacao jurisdiction is useless in case you make a complaint. Uk and Malta are better
I apprecciate anyone who know data from inside online casines to understand how they work and why they behave the way they do

Cool, at least you have that going for you.

Without knowing what online casino there's no way of knowing what their tolerance level might be, even if we had that info it's hard to say unless you know someone with experience at that particular place.

Some online casinos have a higher tolerance level and some will shut you down after you cash out a few hundred in profit a couple of times. They are always more likely to shut you down when using bonuses if you win.

I never play online casinos, or the local (Indian) ones either for that matter. Never have.

These days, only Vegas.

But as far as Vegas, ca depend - when I've won consistently at what they view as a "game of skill" (BJ), yes they have banned me. I have won ridiculous sums relative to my credit lines at what they view as a "game of chance" (Baccarat) and at no time was I bothered by any show of rudeness.

So basically you just saw this as an opportunity to brag and try to convince us you're a baller.
