Hello. I am a pathological gambler who suffered a massive loss in an American casino. I come from Canada and have drained my bank accounts of close to 210k CAD by transferring the money to my credit card, and using the credit card to cash advance at the casino cage. Normally, no matter how much available credit limit I have on the card, it is limited to around 5k daily unless I call them to request that limit be temperarily removed. However, at the casino, I was able to consistently withdraw, transfer from bank acct to cc, withdraw, rinse and repeat until my bank accounts were drained.
Is it plausible to sue the casino, or the credit card, for allowing this to happen? I know there is no duty from the casinos to keep problem gamblers from gambling, but is there a case here for enabling their customers to bypass the limits and cash advance that much money?
Please advise.
