I’m in California, PS5.
Just got the Diamond resort casino membership for $500.
Trying to play slots or spin the wheel or blackjack. When I go up to it, it says “feature is not available to you.”
What gives?
I googled and the reasons it gives is that it’s gambling not allowed in the country. But I’m in California.
Are you using a VPN? You may be in Cali but it could see you as being somewhere else….
Hi, this just happened to me when streaming the game via PS Plus (I have the disc but didn’t fancy getting up off my arse to put it in lol…) switched to playing from disc and it’s working as normal.
My guess is that streaming the game involves connecting remotely to a Virtual Machine, so there’s no way that the game can determine which country you’re in, and so the feature is disabled by default.
I’m in the UK - appreciate this won’t help everyone that’s having this issue, but hopefully it’s helpful to some!
AFAIK you can’t gamble or do anything on the basic membership, other than get the free chips every day, and spend them in the gift shop.
Apparently it was a change made quite long before I started playing earlier this year.
People tell me you have to buy a penthouse first before you can do the casino stuff. Not sure I want to spend that much to find out people were wrong LOL
You can also get that if you’re underage as well.
have you used the betting track afk method? i’m going on a week w/o being able to gamble because of it😅
So I can’t gamble until I get a penthouse?
If you are streaming try to download it or use disc
Interesting. I stream the game from PS plus too.
Ok thanks for the input
Can’t recall Casino having different levels of membership, only one
AFAIK, buying the penthouse only enables Casino Work and hosting Casino Missions.
Gambling was allowed on the only membership - as long as the country you’re playing in has not banned it.
A lot players only bought a casino penthouse as it was a prerequisite for starting up the Cayo heist.
No, I haven’t played anything inside the casino
Did it get fixed? I’ve been using that AFK method and now it says feature unavailable
No problem. I might be way off the mark, but it’s the only reason I can think of!
I started playing at thebend of April 2023. I could buy a basic membership for $500 to access the casino cheap seats, but not the high roller tables & VIP area.
For access there one needs to have the shiny membership that comes with a penthouse.
As for gambling legality - 100% legal in South Africa.
There’s a casino 10 minutes drive from my house, and way more radio adverts (commercials) for gambling addiction counselling than for alcohol or drug counselling.
Likewise lewt boxes are active in other games like Division 2, so maybe Rockstar just dropped the ball.
Or maybe Rockstar disabled gambling on the EPIC games free giveaway GTA V Premium version.
Or maybe they are telling me to fuck myself until I buy a shark card LOL
What fiction are you spinning? Buying the Penthouse has NEVER been a prerequisite for starting up Cayo. You can enter the Music Locker from its entrance on the left side & pay $150 to get in. Casino membership is $500, which is immediately paid back in 5000 chips plus 1000 from daily visit chips.
i don’t think anything’s broken, that’s just r* saying we know what you’re up to. but after 10 days, i was able to use the machines again.
I’m sorry to burst your bubble but when the Cayo update first came out I had to buy a casino penthouse before I could meet Miguel Madrazo in the Music Locker.
Read this link on the bit - Before You Get Started.
The Cayo Perico Heist - GTA 5 Guide - IGN
It may have changed over the years, or in later updates, but that was the case back then.
No it was never the case. IGN is stupid and you didnt read the prompts the game gave you nor did you listen to anything they told you before going to meet Mini Madrazo.
There even was an event for all the DJs coming to the music locker and the official entrance has always been on the side since the club exists
Take a chill pill mate. lol It’s only a game.
OK so I dropped nearly a million in pretend money for buying a casino penthouse, but that was 570 pretend million dollars ago, so no harm done. lol
