Your winnings are restricted to in-game items and currency, and there is, of course, no way of converting this to real money.
What’s even more problematic, however, is that you can’t cash out. That can be problematic in and of itself, given that it’s literally gambling, and the fact that GTA 5 and its online component have a huge teenage audience (even though the game is officially rated as an 18+ title). GTA$ can, of course, be purchased within the game using real money- which means that you can purchase chips to gamble in the virtual casino using real money as well. The Diamond Casino is a location in Grand Theft Auto 5’s online component, GTA Online, that has remained closed for as long as it’s been around, but with the game’s latest update, Rockstar have opened it up to all players- and while some are excited about the prospect of its opening and about being able to participate in new activities, many have pointed out its problematic nature.Ī standard membership to the casino costs GTA$500.
