Afghanistan, Algeria, American Samoa Argentina, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bhutan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belarus, Brunei, Cambodia, Cayman Islands, China, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Greece, Iceland, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Malta, Malaysia, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Taiwan, Thailand, Tuvalu, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, and Venezuela.

However, if they try to gamble with the virtual GTA money, they will be met with an error message saying “This feature is not available for you”.

Bypassing the ban

Gambling uncertainty

While you can earn this currency through your activities in-game, you can also use real-world money to purchase it. However, there is no monetary value attached to it, as there is no way to exchange the play money back for real currency.?

Gamers encountered a similar issue on another Rockstar title, Red Dead Redemption, when poker was added to the multiplayer game. However, this was a much less significant update compared to the GTA V one.
