A lot of you have been tweeting at us and reporting that you can’t use the features in the GTA Online Casino, whether it’s spinning the lucky wheel or trying to play a game of Roulette. You’ll get a message saying ‘This feature is not available for you.’
Well, this for sure isn’t Rockstar Games fault. This is due to your country/government and the laws they have in place for Gambling. If your country is listed below. Then you won’t be able to use the features due to your anti-gambling laws set in place.
For some countries which can use the features, they may not be able to use in-game money which is from Shark cards. We spoke to Tez in Direct Messages which confirmed this. The game detects two types of Cash, Paid cash, and earned cash, Paid cash is Money purchased through Shark cards, Earned cash is any money you have gained through the games features. The Cashier at the Casino won’t allow you to use ‘Paid cash’ to purchase chips.
If your country is listed below and you want to try the Casino features, there is a variety of VPNs which will allow you to try them such as Windscribe (affiliate link).

Plz let us use casino games plz RS
Hi, so I live in Sweden wich is not on the banned list but I still cant use the Casino features.
Can i send my ID to be availbe to play?Im from Bosnia
It’s not the countries who have banned the casino it’s Rockstar.
They couldn’t be bothered to do enough research on the topic.
I’m going to claim the cost of my game and compo.
why like this
we want to play
please
I am a US accountant why I am not allowed to play kazeno games
This is bad i dont wont play in casino i wont only buy outfits but i cant buy tokens this uprdute is useless 🙁
This is not real gamble
There is no actual money in this game
Everything is virtual
So, killing, stealing, robbing, making drugs, selling drugs, making and sellings weapons, selling stolen cars and hacking the game in every session is ALOWED by the law in every country, but gambling? NO.
Is the spin wheel gambling….? At least activate the spin wheel. It is just luck, you don’t gamble money.
