Would everyone these days read every condition from A to Z? I do not think so. It is also a matter of trust and reputation.
^ For the lazy one, they are not, but as we always keep advising them just spend time reading the TOS if you want to avoid the possible problems in the future because as we have noticed and the most common problem here in the forum for most complaints are all against with the TOS which is the complainants are violating the rules without knowing them and at the end, they will accuse the gambling casino as a scammer which their fault of not reading the TOS.
People usually read the TOS for withdrawal deposit rules and KYC requirements. Outside of that, most wouldn't read the rest of the TOS. Really, it may seem like nobody reads the TOS, but it's because most of them are generic rules that almost all casinos have, except for a few specific ones and some changed ones. That's why most people would only read what they only need to know. Most scam accusations of casinos stem on withdrawal/deposit and KYC issues anw.
It is still impossible to make excuses like that, what if they want evidence that you have travelled to your friends house? HK to US is pretty far and the travelling expenses amount would be over those 1200 USD in the account so it will be pretty useless. Unless you could find a mule that has already travelled for US recently.
^This. KYC exists, excuses wouldn't be able to show them you really traveled, you'd have to show your passport or something instead.
