If there's one thing Rockstar is used to deal with …is lawsuits.Īpparently, the reason for this region lock is that Rockstar does not want to register as a gambling entity (such as with other online gambling websites). In-game cash translates to the same amount of in-game casino chips which can only be refunded to in-game cash. This includes buying chips and playing with them – effectively limiting all gambling activity for some players. Apparently, there's a region lock to access the Casino's features.
