Online casinos, are they legit?

Published:

Saw a story about a Michigan woman claiming she parlayed $50 into $11 million playing Roulette at a licensed Online casino. Said she lost about $8 million and stopped playing with $3 million in winnings. The article was more about her attempting to claim the winnings than how she could win millions starting with $50.

The claim was she went to a regular casino, got a $100,000 cash advance but when she went back to collect the rest of the winnings, was told there was a glitch, the winnings were not real, but she could keep the $100,000 if she signed a waver and didn't tell anyone. That's when the first red flag appeared. 

It's an understatement to say "there was a glitch" when someone claims they parlayed $50 into $11 million by "playing most of the Roulette numbers". Read on the casino's website there is a $250 straight wager limit on Roulette so she had to win 1250 times playing just one straight number to win $11 million without any losses. By playing "most of the numbers" and starting with $50, it's highly unlikely she could win $500. And another red flag.

That Online casino is licensed in Michigan and very doubtful they would risk being suspended even if a player could win $11 million. State Lotteries placed limits on how much a drawing pays out by either limiting the number of tickets sold or by dividing their limit by the number of winning tickets. 

Maybe it's just another example of someone very gullible believing they could win that much or more likely believing lots of people would believe their story. IMO, I'd trust Online casinos run by a state lottery or possibly one run by a large casino company.
