How Grand Theft Auto Diamond Casino Update Works

GTA created a replica of a casino. Players use the GTA dollars they have earned over their career to buy chips and gamble at slots and other casino games. Similar to any casino, players stand the chance to claim amazing wins or lose everything they bet on. GTA makers have been promising this feature for years and finally rolled it out.

Many of its loyal followers took the internet and social media bemoaning their inability to access the casino feature. Memes flooded social media with players who were initially excited about the feature realising they could not play. A simple “This feature is not available for you.” message pops up if you are in one of the countries that does not allow this feature.

Countries which have barred GTA Casino Feature

So far, there has been no mention of New Zealand players not being able to access Grand Theft Auto’s casino feature.. However, there are about fifty countries which have barred the GTA Online Diamond Casino feature. Naturally, there are players who have used VPNs to circumvent this hurdle. Note that this is unlawful and will come with legal repercussions for those bending the law. Among them are the following:

  1. China (not surprisingly)
  2. Iran
  3. American Samoa (one of the two American states that criminalises all forms of gambling)
  4. Poland (which only allows sports betting)
  5. South Africa (gambling online is illegal in this country)
  6. Thailand
  7. Saudi Arabia
  8. Iceland
  9. Greece
  10. South Korea
