Grand Theft Auto Online players in Australia are now locked out of the Diamond Casino and Resort, losing access to its games, the daily lucky wheel, and rare vehicle rewards. The sudden restriction was flagged by players on social media and the GTA Forums website.
For players in Australia, walking into the Diamond Casino no longer yields functional gameplay. While buying and selling chips remains available, core features like casino table games and the daily spin wheel are restricted. Because the lucky wheel is no longer accessible, affected players can no longer win the Lost Slamvan, widely recognized as the rarest car in Grand Theft Auto Online.
This change places Australia alongside several other countries where the Diamond Casino has faced limitations due to local laws regarding gambling and in-game loot boxes. Those regions previously included Greece, South Korea, and Qatar, where players could observe the casino space but could not participate in games or spin the wheel.
In addition to the changes within GTA Online, local players have noted that card games in Red Dead Online have also stopped working. While Rockstar Games has not yet issued a formal statement detailing an exact reasoning for the lockdown, community discussions have connected the shift to online safety and age assurance regulations that rolled out in Australia earlier in March.
It remains unconfirmed whether this restriction is permanent or if Rockstar Games will introduce a compliant age verification system to restore casino access for adult players in the region at a later date.
