GTA Online Casino update – List of countries which have banned the Casino features

A lot of you have been tweeting at us and reporting that you cant use the features in the 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.
