Rockstar Games has blocked Australian players from accessing gambling features in GTA Online's Diamond Casino.Summary
Rockstar Games has implemented a geographic restriction that prevents players in Australia from accessing gambling features within the GTA Online Diamond Casino. This decision, confirmed by dataminer Tez2 through new code lines, disables activities such as Blackjack, Roulette, and the Lucky Wheel.
While the game uses fictional currency rather than real money, the move appears to be a response to recent Australian government crackdowns on online gambling. This has sparked frustration among the player community, who argue that these features are integral parts of the purchased product.
