I know some of us must have seen the formal presentation of a mega winner to the public by a gambling platform. Most times, these bookies invite media outlets to their offices to cover the ceremony, so that the news could be captured on newspapers, tv, internet etc. My questions are... Can a bettor reject being unveiled to the public? Are gambling platforms paying an extra money for the publicity?
I have seen a few occasions where someone who win the maximum payout or something close to that being invited by the company to claim other awards attached to such size of winnings. It is usually made public and used for promotion to tell people that such is possible.
I don't think there is any low or provision in the T&C mandating people to honour such invitations, so it is a thing of individual decision. Considering that there is a prize attached to honouring such invitations or publishing ones winning in the public, many people will not have a problem with that.
On the other hand, if there are no prizes attached to such publicity, I don't see any need accepting to be made public unless the individual involved just want to become a public figure which is also something many people are looking to achieve.
