So yeah, rockstar, since the beginning, decided to cut loose a lot of countries from gambling in their games, even tho in countries like mine, Argentina, its not illegal, and up to this day they haven't changed anything, lemme explain quickly in case you don't know (this is accurate to my countries' case, where poker and games alike should be playable but rockstar ignored us): IF you can get money into the game and then out, it's illegal unless rockstar has some kind of permit, if you can only get the money in but now out, it's legal, it's just like buying anything else... That's it, that's how my countries' online gambling law works. ROCKSTAR GIVE US GAMBLING, I HAVE A CRIPPLING ADDICTION TO IT!
PS: At the begining, when the casino dropped in GTA and I couldn't use it, I thought it was a weird thing that happened between my government and rockstar, but it seems (from what I've read) that it wasn't, rockstar just didn't want to go through the hastle of asking so they just cut their losses short and banned it themselves, which is understandable but they could have already changed it by now

Hey can some tell me a way to use gta online casino in banned countries (Greece) I am on psps4 .

Okay let's just get this straight, GTA 5 and Rockstar sucks doodoo. They are milking the living hell out of this game, there are way too many issues that could easily be handled, and the community is the worse than every other game combined. With that being said, I have constructed a small list of every major issue (that I could come up with) in GTA 5 Online.
​

1. Sharkcards

The sharkcards are shit to put it mildly, they are expensive, they are pointless and anybody who buys them should be forced to drink dog piss.
​

1. Oppressor Mk II

Ah yes, the vehicle of the giefers. The Oppressor Mk II is so OP where it ranks #1 in all tier lists. I'll bet you $200 that you can ask any developer, staff member or anybody who has ever worked at Rockstar during the development of GTA 5 and they will say that they have not ever created a more powerful monstrosity than this. It’s a flying bike with missiles, it can’t get any better.

1. Connection issues

I pay for the best internet distributor in my country, yet every 45 minutes my game freezes and I get kicked to story mode. How in the flying fuck does a game that costs 265 million to make, and earned over 6 BILLION dollars since its release not have the ability to get their fucking servers to properly work or get some that actually work.

1. Modders

There are 4 types of modders.

1. The one who uses mods for personal gain.
2. The one who uses mods to ruin other peoples experiences.
3. The one who uses mods to help other players.
4. The one who doesn’t even fucking use them.

Which one do you think is the most common one? Of course it’s the 2nd one. Which takes me to the next point.
​
5. Anti-Cheat System
I would like for you to tell me how many times you have heard of seen a modder get banned? If you’re like most people, you would say 0, if you have seen 1 or more, count yourself lucky because the anti-cheat system is as productive as my 2 inch penis in the bed. It doesn’t work properly and I’m not the only person to say that.
​
6. Chat Censorship
The game is rated M for mature, it’s intended for adult audiences, there is absolutely no reason for censorship to exist in this game. If you are able to put a strip club, murder, gore, torture, robberies, extreme violence and “ghosts” in a game, you should be able to put in 2 swear words into your fucking message when typing a goddamn sentence in a public or private session.
​
7. Vehicle Prices
This point is kind of connected to point 1 regarding sharkcards. There are a variety of vehicles for purchase in GTA Online, boats, cars, motorcycles, planes, helicopters, anything you can get your hands on. There are up to 464 vehicles in GTA 5 online, and around 15% of them costs over 2 million dollars, that is 32 dollars, 31% of the vehicles costs over 1 million dollars, which is $20 in sharkcards and 48% of all vehicles costs over 500k, which is about $10. This means that almost half of all vehicles in GTA online costs you a total of 10 DOLLARS TO BUY. The afterhours DLC costs about 6.2 times as much as the original game does.
8. Arena Wars
That one bitch, Bryony or whatever, keeps calling basically everybody who hasn’t bought a workshop for the stupid ass Arena Wars. The award is pathetic, being a level 20-50 and playing Arena Wars is like a kid being bullied at their first day of school, but the kid being 6 and the bullies being 24. It’s rocket league in GTA 5, it’s just another cash grab. It’s just like freeroam but with a smaller map and with worse rewards. It’s just amazing how the DLC could fail so quickly.
​
9. Guns
Widowmaker is the main issue with this. It's cheap for its power, it's a laser gun with a rate of fire faster than me losing my will to live after playing this god forsaken game.
10. Community Behavior
You cannot go 20 minutes without getting shot by another griefer, modder or general assholes who you haven’t done any harm to. The community is filled with people insulting each other, griefing, being assholes and not knowing how to show respect to each other. It has come to the point where the Discord is 80% made only for community assistance. Just got killed by a guy 37 fucking times because I quit his heist when he started trolling. It was like 20-37 because I didn't want to fucking fight him, and for some goddamn reason he got 2 of his fucking friends to help me. Ain't nobody want 2 oppressors and a Hydra on their asses.
​
11. Heists
It has gone 7 years as of the creation of this document, yet we only have like 8 heists in GTA online, the Casino Heist, the Doomsday Heist, Series A Funding, Humane Labs, Prison Break, Fleeca, Pacific Standard and whatever. 80% of the time you get teamed with people who cannot communicate, are toxic and disrespectful or leave early or late-heist.
​
12. Load Times
The load times in GTA Online is worse than Loading Screen Simulator. For the people with extremely good internet like me, it takes about 7-9 minutes to load. A friend of mine who had a mid-tier connection had to wait for 24 minutes to get into the actual game. If you tab out it will “load” perpetually, meaning that it shows it as loading but it doesn’t do jackshit.
Loading online from Story Mode is cloud simulator. -Combat Wombat
what the fuck
​
13. Phone Calls
I have bought a high-end apartment, nightclub, facility, vehicle warehouse, office, money factory, MC club, basically a majority of the things purchasable, yet I constantly get phone calls to buy more. This is not only about purchasing properties either, it’s Lester, Bryony, Tony, everybody who spam calls you to do shit. When you’re in a call you can’t jump, aim, equip guns, shoot. Fucking Maude and the treasure hunts as well, the rewards are insulting. I do not want to randomly kill people, I do not want to spend 15 minutes trying to find a treasure that 25% of the time doesn’t even exist.
​
Tell me if there are any other issues, which wouldn't surprise anybody because this game has gone to absolute shit, and I will edit the post.

Favor for the GTA Reddit of the day.

Notable edits - Originally the USA was added to this, it is illegal to gamble in Hawaii and Utah for example but the casino seems to function as normal there. There are a few countries as well that have gambling laws but again GTA's seems to duck underneath these. I'm not an enforcer of the law, nor am I a solicitor but common sense would lead me to say if GTA is allowing you to do it then you shouldn't have to worry about anything. If you cannot access the Casino games, VPN's are a known work around but this could net you in trouble. I won't be assisting players on where to find those (various comments have so far) but be warned it is to be used at your own discretion.

Casino is banned in my country due to gambling restrictions. But I really wanna do the lucky wall as you can get amazing rewards from it. So my question is can you use vpn to access it and is there any chance of getting banned if you use vpn? I have so much progress in gta online and don't wanna lose it so please guide me
Thanks

Don't get me wrong, I still love to play GTA Online to this day but it disapoints me what it turned to and how it changed alot since 2013 into much worse.
Let's talk about online connectivity which is main problem. It takes literally 15 minutes just to get kicked back to SP due Rockstar's crappy P2P online which in-hand is one reason why whole lobby becomes buggy and glitchy when somebody joins with terrible connection. Rockstar hasn't also bothered to improve that and their cloud servers that fail every evening. Just to top it off with infinite loading screens that occur very often causing players to totally reboot their game and waste of more of their time just for game to be stuck at loading screen again.
Futurization has improved the game and extended its lifespan but gave griefers and tryhards new toys to fuck with low levels, afk players basically everyone on lobby. Some of futuristic vehicles were great and helped people defend themselves and grind faster and better but some completely ruined freemode such as Oppressor MK2 (not a bad vehicle at all, actually one of best grinding vehicles, the only problem are people who abuse it to kill everybody in lobby).
Orbital cannon has indeed really ruined freemode and grinding forever. Just imagine this, you're selling 111 crates of special cargo in public session probably to avoid super accurate NPC I'm gonna talk about later, and all that hard work just to be blown up by some kid ducking in his facility spending money he got from his mommy's credit card. There's no occasion and awareness to know when you're gonna get orbed unless you're checking for people who are in facilities. People might say that 750k to kill somebody is balanced, uhmmm not. People can just leave immediatly after they orb someone and rejoin back with their money still there and no cooldown at all. And problem is, it cannot be patched cause it's cloud server exploit. Great job Rockstar !!!
Glitches are also one big problem GTA has been struggling. I don't have anything against people who glitch their money but people who glitch to be un-killable or to destroy somebody's cargo immediatly are worst. There are glitches that let you go godmode and ones that let you teleport which have not been patched for years. There are also glitches that completely ruin your game such as Titan glitch and are also left alone for years. Rockstar clearly ignores these glitches and patches ones that are harmless and money making just to save Shark Card sales. It's incredible to see game company having their mouth full open for money. They became too greedy even more than EA and Activision combined together.
Talking about patching glitches, Rockstar has double standards when it comes to releasing hotfixes. Remember duffel sale bag mission ?? It had one very rare bug that was able to be fixed easy but what Rockstar did ??? They completely removed the mission leaving us stuck with terrible missions such as Post Op van one. They bugged Bombushka cargo door after seeing players use it for grinding and patched the Avenger crate glitch only because players made boring and repetitive 3 crate mission faster !!! They also made hotfix to Casino Heist adding rock in middle of nowhere. They blocked vault door and added additional guards on race track after noticing people finishing casino heist fast. They have also patched gender change glitch which was just changing character gender for 100k !!! They have done alot more but I'm not gonna mention anymore harmless things patched.
When it comes to cargo-griefing, that's what annoys me. Rockstar is completely PROMOTING cargo griefing to players just so they can increase their shark card sales. When you try to defend yourself, you lose 10k and get badsport, but griefer gets only 2k after destroying 1 mil goods. Rockstar actually supports that acting unaware about many players complaining about cargo griefing. This is not how you gain playerbase Rockstar, this is just how you lose them in matter of a seconds.
Anti-cheat system is almost to non-existent. People can easily bypass the anti-cheat system and bomb lobbies by using mod menus. Those also get away with bans when innocent players get their characters reset for no reason. How in the hell can you let modders have fun destroying the game while innocent players are just trying to play the way it's meant to be played ??? Talking about casino chips glitch bans, isn't Rockstar overreacting too much ?? Players exploit your game to get money due to boring, terrible and repetitive grinding. Instead of patching the glitch, you go out and ban everybody who just gets penny from it ?!?!? I'm never gonna understand.
AI is another lazy-developed thing with this game. NPC's have ridicously good aim, rapid fire and sped up animations making every mission pain in the ass. Not only that, they'll even manage to headshot you blinding firing or from very far distance. What about traffic AI also ? It seems like that they're programmed to crash into you everytime you're doing I/E. Has Rockstar even tested their game before releasing not knowing about problems that will occur ?? Probably not...
And last but not least, overpriced items. This has angered many players causing them to buy shark cards so you can get money. Why the hell supercar that's gonna be used once costs +2 mil. Why the hell bodysuits and even more irrelevant clothes cost +300k. Why do many vehicles that are already expensive need to have even more expensive paywalls ??? Well two words, shark cards. Arena update was pretty much worst serving as Rockstar's money laundering scheme due to terribly overpriced items and vehicles. Isn't 1.4 mil for RC car too much ??
Bonus thing we have is Casino resort. Rockstar just dropped the ball with it as they PROMOTED GAMBLING !!!! You can get in-game money with real money, then convert that money into chips you're gonna lose in matter of seconds cause whole Casino is rigged to boost up shark card sales. That is in-game gambling being almost the same as REAL gambling. No wonder Casino is blocked in half of the world countries.
This is gonna be the end of my opinion. There are much more things to cover but this feels already more than enough needed. Read this and get it to yourself that Rockstar became what they parodied about in past.

so I live in a country where its banned to use the casino in gta online, so I tried using a VPN and everything worked. after a couple days I noticed that steam does not open and says to check my internet connection, same thing with league of legends, and same thing with Uplay launcher, and also the Epic Games launcher. but I noticed that when I turn on the VPN everything works like normal. what is going on? I tried resetting my modem, resetting my internet settings, and nothing worked. google chrome opens 90% of websites but some websites like rockstar games and uplay dont open unless i use a vpn.

Back in October 2015 I made a set of predictions of what wasn't ever going to be added/changed in GTA Online. I was wrong in some but right in others

• Third Character (Not added and unlikely to be)
• Functional Casino (unless your country bans it, it was finally added)
• New areas directly added (if you count new interiors, like the Facility and Arena War arena, and casino, then they did add them, but they didn't add any new place in the open lobby)
• Purchasable Lazer (They eventually did, but it was more expensive than we would have expected in 2015)
• Legal access to North Yankton (Nope. Still have to glitch to get there. It's actually a small area with not much to see)
• Cross-platform play (Sony and Microsoft say "No" and neither playerbase wants to deal with the BS from modders on PC)
• Job Points have a purpose (Nope, they still don't)
• Editable Pegasus list (You can't sell/remove anything, but at least its in categories now. That's a lot better than it used to be)
• Re-valuation of Shark Cards (No. A Megaladon is still $100 for $8M, but they often run bonuses, targeted or general, often enough. It doesn't go nearly as far as it used to)
• Ability to purchase/store/modify any emergency vehicles (Police vehicles are still verboten, but you can finally own a Fire Truck and the Lifeguard Granger, so... yes?)
• New Heists (Whether you count the Doomsday "heist" as a heist or special storyline of missions, the Casino Heist is a proper heist)
• Aircraft carrier in freeroam or new mission (Nope. They put a lot of work into that model to only use it once)
• The Jet Pack (The Thruster is an actual "Jet Pack" as opposed to a Rocket Belt that we had in San Andreas. I guess that counts.)
• Return of the old Freemode Events (Sadly, they're gone for good)
• An armed and functional JB700 (Ok, it happened, but the result is overpriced and underwhelming for a weaponized vehicle. Too little, too late; and it's still missing some of the better functions the Story Mode one had)
• The "1,000,000 paint job" (Gold paints were rumored to cost that much before release. None of the paint or liveries cost nearly that much)
• Items rank-locked above level-135 (Nope)
• Animals in Online (Only temporary. When the Peyote Plants are out a player can transform into one until they die or cancel it, but that's only happened 2-3 times and only for a week or so each. There's no NPC animals, still)

Hi,
I've been playing GTA online and encountered that I can't use casino slots or wheel. After some research I've seen list of countries with this banned (I'm in that country). Is there any way to make it work? Something like region change or anything
Thanks in advance

so I wanted to get a VPN so I can spin the wheel in the casino since it is banned in my country so I got NordVPN and when I connected to the UK with it and launched GTA I couldn't connect to social club and couldn't go online while the VPN was on. Can anyone help?
Edit: Problem was fixed, I got in contact with their amazing customer support and they guided me through the process, I had something called Ncap or something like that on but managed to get it fixed

People always wish for GTA 6 to set in Vice City,especially the '80s(which would be cool as we wouldn't have crap like Oppressors,Khanjalis,Akulas or even flying Deluxos but instead NORMAL Deluxos).
But has anyone ever wished for LAS VENTURAS or SAN FIERRO? None of those cities had their own game,not even their own 3d game. They only took a small part in GTA SA.
A HD version of each one would be amazing,but San Fierro would be a more possible location as most of the buildings and gambling minigames in Las Venturas would be banned in most countries(which is already the case with the gambling minigames in GTA Online Diamond Casino and Resort).
Hell,a full HD version of Carcer City would also be dope. Maybe if it takes place in '88,we could hear in the radio a robbery that has happened(Michaels first score). Could also be a possibility if the game takes place anywhere else in that time. Would make for some nice easter egg.

Anyone here stopped playing as well??
Basically I stopped playing the game after the casino update came out....Why? Well it turns out I can't play in the Casino because it is region locked in my country. However, let me tell you a funny thing. Gambling and online gambling are COMPLETELY LEGAL in my country. I can even play poker games on my console. So why isn't it allowed it on the online games from Rockstar? I dont really know, bcause no one from Rockstar has the decency to give a proper explanation.
Even the damn wheel in the casino is blocked, which doesn't make any sense because there is also a wheel you can spin in the NBA 2K games and that wheel is completely open to everyone. And when you take it into account that both Rockstar and 2K belong to Take-Two, it's even harder to understand why you can't spin the wheel in GTA Online.
But if I, and every other person who can't play poker and such online, can't acess the casino features, you would think that Rockstar would give us discounts, reduce the price of shark cards, or gives us alternatives to win free cars or something like that.
Why are we paying the same exact price for less content than other people who have access to more things???
Why do I have to grind multiple hours to buy a car when someone else can just spin a wheel and win it???
What is the point of owning a casino penthouse, when you can't use the...well, CASINO???
Of course Rockstar would never do that. Reducing what??? Gotta keep the money coming, even with the subpar servers and broken gameplay.
​
I stopped playing GTA Online after the Casino update came out because, one, I can't play with friends who were most times, playing in the casino, and the lack of explanations from Rockstar regarding why we can't play in the Casino does really make you not want to play that game. Like I said before, GAMBLING IS 100% LEGAL in my country so the ball is on Rockstar's court to do something about it!!!
​
I just wanted to express this frustration, it's ridiculous that Rockstar literally doesn't give a damn about their players who live in those "banned" countries. We play the game the same as everyone else, we invest our time as everyone else, we paid as everyone else and when it comes down to enjoying to game as everyone else, because they are too lazy or greedy to buy licenses, we just get the "This option is not avaiable for you" text and piss off.
​
Absolute lack of respect to their players! My opinion might be a unpopular one, specially to the people who can use those features and enjoy them, but if they knew they couldn't get the game out to EVERYONE, then they shouldn't have released the update to begin with. And if they released the update, at least update the prices for the banned countries because there is no reason we should be paying the same amount of money for a game and get less features as other people!!!
Is that even legal??
​
Anyway, sorry for the long post! Tell me what you guys think, cheers!

Can i still collect the playing cards in gta online if the casino is banned in my country?

I am trying to get daily spin but can't since i am in banned country. I have multiple questions
1) Can i get VPN on my laptop and connect Laptop to PS 4 with lan cable to use diffrent location?
2) Is it legal i mean can i get ban if i manage to do it
3) If you have any experience with this or if there is post about this please direct me to it.
Thanks in advance... since GTA Online casino is banned by government i am going to sell coke weed and meth that is allowed 🙄

When i enter the casino in gta online on my pc , i am stuck . From a post here i sae that online gambling is banned so my country is not effected. Can anyone provide some help or ideas? I am online now waiting since 5 minutes

So I bought a casino penthouse thinking it was the requirement to play the casino games but apparently my country banned online gambling or something should I send a ticket to rockstar to get my refund or should I keep the penthouse and do the heists? It is really important money for me since I am a beginner and that was all the money I had (even though I have properties from the gta v enterprise pack and a few other things)

Error: Files required to play GTA Online could not be downloaded from the Rockstar Games Service. Please return to Grand Theft Auto V and try again later
This is what pops up when I try to get into the game after the newest GTA Online update, while connected to the VPN. I was using it to avoid gambling ban in my country, so I could spin the wheel in the Diamond Casino. When I disconnect from the VPN, everything starts working properly. Anyone else with this problem?

I recommend looking at my GTA Online guides first before reading this Q&A.

Questions and Answers.

Q: Don't they have plenty of other guides like this on the GTA Online Mega Guide Thread?
A: This guide combines VIP work Headhunter, Special cargo, Vehicle cargo, Bunker, MC Businesses, Nightclub, Terrorbyte and Arcade with Master Control Terminal in one guide assuming everyone has those businesses. The Mega Guide thread definitely helped me make this this guide with me putting links of more additional in depth tips from threads on the mega guide on how to do special cargo missions, vehicle cargo missions, Bunker, MC Businesses and Nightclub. I also posted the Mega Guide link twice in this guide for more in depth info and more in depth tips such as the original heist guide for newer players.
Not many people know how to do the Biker business solo thus why they're giving up on it so that's one of many reasons why I'm making my own guide. I would love it if the mods put this guide on the GTA Online Mega Guide thread so it can get more attention and help other players. Also some but not all of the poor to rich type guides are outdated e.g no golden revolver headshot challenge or Maude's bounties with stone hatchet challenges that earn $250,000 upon each completion yet but they still give good information on how to get started so still look at those guides when in doubt. I'm looking to offer something new in 2020.
Q: What links did you use from the GTA Online Mega Guide Thread?
A: The main guide itself of course. https://www.reddit.com/gtaonline/comments/8xvpow/the_gta_online_mega_guide/
https://www.reddit.com/gtaonline/comments/5tzgfk/guide_for_vehicle_cargo_imports/

Not sure this is from the Mega Guide but I'll link it anyways. https://www.reddit.com/gtaonline/comments/95crke/nightclub_profit_and_popularity_guide_not/
Q: Why doesn't this guide include the Hanger Business?
A: Because the Hanger business is designed to have multiple players in your CEO organization and collecting crates solo can take up to 10 minutes and you only make $10,000 per crate while you can be making $22,000 in three minutes doing Headhunter or $31,000 in three or four minutes doing Terrorbyte missions Diamond Shopping, Targeted Data and Robbery in Progress.
Q: I'm broke but I have all the businesses the main guide requires including a fully upgraded bunker or MC Businesses (Coke, Meth and Cash) and Nightclub with all upgrades and technicians.
A: Follow the steps on the main guide as normal and you should be all good.
Q: Why not do the Doomsday Heist instead for newer players?
A: The facility is expensive around two million dollars for one in a decent location whereas a high end apartment for original heist only costs $200,000 and you can get around $2,000,000-2,500,000 million after finishing the original heist assuming you got all the extra bonuses and done all of them on hard with having 55% cut on the last four finales and 60% cut on the Fleeca finale. Doomsday heist missions are also hard because of the insane accuracy of the enemy NPCs which will require plenty of resets such as starting the current setup or finale. So paying two million for a facility isn't recommended for newer players.
Q: Why no glitches such as vehicle dupes or Act 2 finale replay?
A: This guide is for players both new and well set who want to earn money legitimately. Money glitching may get you banned and reset so I don't want players to risk losing their hard work and progress.
Q: Does this guide have any glitches?
A: Mostly no except changing your MTU on console or suspending the task manager on PC to get into solo public lobbies to avoid griefers. Other than that; no.
Q: I bought the Criminal Enterprise starter pack and got a free Bunker in Paleto Bay, should I get it?
A: Despite the Paleto Bay Bunker being free it's still a big NO. This is because the sale to Los Santos is a very long drive which takes time to get to the destination. Also most resupply missions take place in Los Santos so it's a very long drive the get the supplies back to the Paleto Bay Bunker.
If not in a solo public lobby, there's a high chance a griefer can come after you on the exposed highway. Your much better off saving up for a Bunker in Farmhouse or Chumash since they're closer to the city.
Q: Speaking of Criminal Enterprise Starter pack; should I get it and if I do get it what should I do?
A: No; it's not worth spending real life money on the Criminal Enterprise Starter pack.
But if you do get it it already has a free CEO Office, MC Clubhouse in Great Chapparal and a Counterfeit Cash business in Grand Senora Desert. Since you have free $1,000,000 then buy a high end apartment in Del Perro and start the original Heist. Scroll up and follow the "My Guide To Get Rich For New Players" for more.
Q: I'm rank 25 but the host keeps kicking me out of their Heist finales or setups before it even begins, why is that?
A: Because they don't trust lower ranked players from finishing the heist because they have a bad experience from lower level players not knowing what to do or constantly dying thus spending plenty of times of constant resetting if a low level player keep failing or dying so they're not even going to bother with them and kick them out in a heartbeat.
Q: Wanted level won't go away at the Prison Break finale after everyone boards the plane even flying for hours still won't get rid of your wanted level?
A: I think it's glitched due to bad connection that if a person already has their wanted level flashing away and the person with bad connection still has their wanted level thus everyone still gets the five star wanted level. If that's the case then reset the finale, if still doesn't work then change roles and if it still doesn't fix it; your going to need a new crew preferably get players who are in your country or continent for better connection since they're in the same regional servers.
Q: I lost too much money while doing the Pacific Standard Heist?
A: Restart the Heist.
Q: How do I destroy all 10 Duggan shipments and should I even bother destroying them?
A: You need a Buzzard to destroy all of them on time. With enemies on boats and helicopters, fly behind them and spam rockets and they should be destroyed. Buzzard is quick enough to get from one end of the map to another. Hunter or Akuka also works as well if not better.
Yes you should destroy them especially doing the aggressive approach because the guards have armour and helmets that they take so much bullets to kill via headshot. On top of that, they also have and assault shotgun which shreds through your health in an instant. Destroying all of them means the guards won't have any armour, helmets and they'll only be equipped with a pistol.
Q: When should I start buying other properties such as a Doomsday Facility, Casino Penthouse and Hanger. Also when should I start buying vehicles such as weaponized vehicles, planes and supercars?
A: Once you have all the businesses required for this guide and you follow the steps everyday so you can save up on whatever you want to buy.
Q: Now that you mentioned the Casino Penthouse, should I get it so I can do the Casino Penthouse missions.
A: No, because the basic model costs $1,500,000 and the max payout assuming you finish all six missions is approximately $1,100,000 dollars. Only get it if you can do most of the steps on the main "Well set" guide.
Q: I read the main "Well Set" guide already and know what to do. I want to get my friend who's new to the game to make easy money, how much will they make?
A: Assuming your doing Step 1 Import/Export Method. Terrorbyte mission pays them $31,000 with Headhunter $21,000 and another Terrorbyte mission $31,000. They gain also $5,000 per fifteen minutes with additional $500 per successful source mission (crates or vehicle cargo) and $10,000 per sell mission. They'll make approximately $100,000 per cycle or approximately $300,000 per hour just for helping. They lose $250 per fifteen minutes though if the CEO dies.
Once you move to Step 3 Selling Bunker and MC Businesses; the associate will get 10% of the sale capping at $30,000 on top of the extra $1,000-5,000 bonus per successful mission. Best to sell Bunker as MC so your associate can get $21,000 instead of $10,000 per successful sell mission (assuming you only bought one supply batch and your Bunker is fully upgraded).
I maybe wrong on this though, if so then let me know.
Q. Is the Buzzard better than the Oppressor MK II for grinding and why should I get the Buzzard before the MK II Oppressor?
A: Overall as a grinder vehicle, I'd stick with the Buzzard because it can be consistently spawned using the CEO Interaction menu to spawn vehicles. The MK II Oppressor has a five minute cooldown after it gets destroyed or you returned it to storage and plus it remains at the location where you have picked up the vehicle cargo while doing source vehicle mission or on crate missions where all the crates is in a vehicle thus you have to leave the MK II Oppressor at the location. With the Buzzard you can easily spawn another.
The reason why you should get the Buzzard first is because it's cheaper and already comes with homing missiles whereas the MK II Oppressor costs more and you require the Terrorbyte to install the homing missiles which are limited to 20 and already costs a lot on top of needing to own a Nightclub which you need in order to purchase the Terrorbyte. I recommend getting the MK II Oppressor once your well set.
I know some will disagree with me here but personally I still use the Buzzard more than the Oppressor MK II for grinding with the Oppressor MK II being used for some missions and as a supplement grinding vehicle with it's better missiles and being easier to land in tight places.
Q. Why should I buy supplies for the Bunker and MC Businesses, isn't it more worth it to steal since your not paying $75,000 to purchase supplies?
A: Depends if it has upgrades or not. If it has full upgrades then it's not worth stealing because you can be doing other things such as doing Step 1 Import/Export guide while your businesses makes product in the background. Doing Step 1 I/E method makes more than enough money to pay off the supplies. You can also easily make money back by sourcing and selling vehicle cargo after you sell product from an MC Business or Bunker.
If it has one upgrade, steal supplies until you have three bars or 60% of the supply bar is filled and buy the rest.
If it has no upgrades then yes, I suggest stealing until the supply bar is full to make maximum profits.
Q: Should I get security upgrades on the Bunker, MC Businesses and Nightclub?
A: For Bunker and MC Businesses no. With Bunker if you stay under 50% of product you shouldn't be raided since buying one full supply batch gives you 20% of product. With the MC Businesses, make sure to register inside the MC Business and disband immediately after selling to prevent getting raided. For the Nightclub yes because there's less chance of getting raided. I have the security upgrade on the Nightclub and done the AFK method several times and not one time did I get raided, just make sure your not registered as a CEO or MC President while AFK.
Q: Why do the Steps have "Repeat 1-5 or 1-8" instead of "Repeat steps 1-5 or steps 1-8"?
A: To make it clearer so people don't get confused from "repeat steps 1-7" which some people will think but there's no step six or seven. Most people shouldn't get confused though but I want to make this guide as clear as possible so no one gets confused.
Q: Is it worth doing Nightclub popularity mission to keep your Nightclub popularity full?
A: No since the missions are pretty long and your much better off switching DJs every 90 minutes to prevent losing popularity and get back to what your doing quickly.
Q: Is selling two Post OP Van missions possible while selling the MC Businesses from Los Santos?
A: Yes if your quick and if your Coke, Meth and Cash is NOT in Elysian Island or Terminal because it'll be much harder or impossible to sell two Post Op Vans. Make sure the Coke, Meth and Cash is in northern Los Santos if you already bought those Los Santos locations.
Q: About the MC Businesses, I bought the ones in Paleto Bay or Elysian Island/Terminal, also my Bunker is in Paleto Bay or in a location other than Farmhouse of Chumash; should I move my MC Businesses to Sandy Shores/Grand Senora Desert and my Bunker to Farmhouse or Chumash?
A: Yes, if you have the money to do so because you have to re-buy the upgrades once you change locations although you get half on what you spent on the location back unless you got the Paleto Bay Bunker through the Criminal Enterprise Starter pack, which in that case, you can't get any rebates from moving to a different location.
Q: Other than MC Businesses and Bunker should I move my other businesses and Bunker away from Paleto Bay?
A: Yes again, since most missions take place in Los Santos. Don't be tempted to get the free arcade in Paleto Bay if your a Twitch Prime subscriber, instead buy one of the locations in Los Santos. With the facility, this is entirely up to you if you want to move.
Q: Ok but why should I NOT buy a business in Paleto Bay?
A: Because most of the resupply missions for the MC Businesses, Bunker and Arcade/Casino Heist setups take place in Los Santos and it's a long drive or flight back to those businesses. You might be lucky and a resupply mission takes place in Paleto Bay but overall it's not worth it. Also sell missions are very far from Los Santos should you choose to sell remote and unnecessary amount of time is being wasted in trying to get back to collect another vehicle while you already reached that second vehicle if you sell from the Sandy Shores businesses.
If your not in a solo public lobby, there's a higher chance griefers can come after you and destroy your product since your open on the highway and your most likely not even half way to your destinations when you could've arrived their if you sold from the Sandy Shores MC Business or Farmhouse/Chumash Bunker.
I think I mentioned something like this in an earlier question above.
Q: I want to move my Bunker, MC Business and Arcade out of Paleto Bay but don't have the required funds yet although I'm more than willing to re-buy upgrades for them. How do I still do solo sell missions from Paleto Bay.
A: With the MC Businesses assuming you have the upgrades, sell in the Blaine County area. With the Bunker sell remote to Los Santos as normal but make sure your in a solo public or peaceful grinder lobby to avoid being griefed. Still buy supplies though since you still make a profit (except on the Document Forgery) if they have full upgrades. Half upgraded, steal until three bars and no upgrades steal until bar is full. Good luck with the long drive back from Los Santos.
Q: Why do players buy businesses in Paleto Bay anyways?
A: Because players get duped in buying the cheapest location for the Bunker and the Arcade. Another reason I hear is because to get away from other players and tryhards/griefers, you can go into a solo public lobby to fix this problem. Don't be tempted at any costs in getting a Paleto Bay business.
Personally, I have a medium house with a six car garage there only because I have plenty of money and only wanted a property in Paleto Bay just for the sake of it.
Q: A majority of players suggest getting the Farmhouse or Chumash Bunker but which one of those two should I get since I know they're both closest to the city. I'm torn apart on what to choose from?
A: This is a hard choice to be honest, I can see why many people suggest since they're closest to the city and both are next to a freeway. Since the guide suggest buying supplies, you'll be doing sell missions most of the time.
Here are the sell missions you get and which location is best for which missions. Feel free to disagree with me here, this is from my experience from doing Bunker sell missions.

• Phantom Wedge mission: Slightly for the Farmhouse Bunker because most of the drop offs are in eastern Los Santos and the Farmhouse Bunker is located on the eastern half of the map.
• Insurgent Pick Up Custom delivery to one location: Probably even because the drop off locations are in mixed east and west of Los Santos.
• Insurgent Pick Up Custom multiple drop offs: I think slightly for the Chumash Bunker for this one because most of the first drop off is also located on the western half of Los Santos.
• Dune buggy: Probably even for this one since you can take whatever drops feels closest to you.
• Monster truck mission: Probably the Farmhouse Bunker because most of the drop offs take place on the middle to eastern and south eastern parts of the map. Some of the drops does favour the Chumash Bunker though.

I maybe missing some missions though so let me know which ones I missed.
Price.

• Chumash: $1,650,000.
• Farmhouse: $2,375,000.

Which one should I get?: Personally I'd go with the Farmhouse but it's a bit more expensive than the Chumash which is another great location.
Q: A griefer is coming after me or the vehicle carrying the product got stuck and there's literally no way to get it out or the plane drop mission is glitched thus making it impossible to drop cargo and finish the sell mission, because I spent lots of money buying or lots of time collecting supplies, what should I do?
A: Close the application if on PS4 or dashboard if on Xbox One or find a new session on all platforms. You only lose ten percent of product but at least all that time or money isn't wasted and you get to keep most of the product.
Q: Should I sell in a populated lobby?
A: Yes but only if your certain the other players there are peaceful otherwise a griefer may come after your cargo. Make sure your in a grinding lobby just to be safe.
Q: I have three other players with me in my organization, I know how Step 1 I/E Method works but how should I do the cycle?
A: Instead of selling the car, source the vehicle instead until you have four top range vehicles stored in your warehouse and repeat the cycle since there's a twenty minute cooldown per vehicle sold in one go, so since you sold four vehicles, you'll have a one hour cooldown.
Q: Is selling a full 111 crate warehouse possible solo?
A: Yes, I've sold 111 crates several times solo no problem. The only problem I had was the plane mission with the enemy Buzzard and Valkyrie variant. All I did on that mission is get in the Titan, scout the area with a Buzzard or Hydra, destroy the enemy NPCs, drop the crates off and done. Three Brickades and one tug boat sales are very easy to do.
Q: Should I get the vehicle upgrades for selling the crate warehouse missions?
A: Armour upgrades don't provide extra protection from rockets fired from griefers in MK Oppressor but it may provide extra protection from enemy NPC bullets and explosive rockets from Hydra or Lazer. Bulletproof tyres are useful on the Brickade and speed upgrade is useful on the Tug. Jammer upgrade is near useless on the plane especially if your in a solo public lobby.
The upgrades worth getting are the speed upgrade on the Tug and bulletproof tyres on the Brickade.
So should you get upgrades?: Up to you really.
Q: You mentioned buying supplies from the Master Control Terminal from the Arcade but should I sell my product from there though?
A: No because you have to go all the way to the business your selling from which wastes some sell time just trying to get there. Your much better off selling from the actual business location because the sell vehicle is right there most of the time.
However, not all vehicles spawn at the business location such the Dinghy boat, Dodo plane or Buzzard for the MC Businesses and the Tug and Plane for the crate sell missions. The sell vehicles for the Bunker are always located next to the Bunker, the sell vehicle for the Nightclub is always located next to the Nightclub. You still need to actually go to the vehicle warehouse to sell a car though.
Q: Why do you suggest using the Bati 801RR, isn't it the exact the same as the Bati 801?
A: The Bati 801RR actually has better acceleration than the Bati 801 but they still share the exact same handling and top speed.
Q: Did you have any help while making this guide?
A: A little bit from Youtubers and some threads from the Mega Guide, other Reddit posts and the GTA Forums but I mostly made it with my experience in grinding the businesses. Also the tips I post are mainly from my experience in selling.
Q: Who does this guide cater to?
A: Players who are new or well set.

So as many already know, there has been a recent update to GTA online where a casino was added.
Many countries prohibit online gambling.
Gambling by definition is: "Gambling is the wagering of money or something of value) (referred to as "the stakes") on an event) with an uncertain outcome, with the primary intent of winning money or material goods. " -Wikipedia.
In other words, the chips in the casino in GTA online can be purchased by GTA$ at the cashier, and GTA$ can be purchased as shark cards for real money. This is the "wagering of money" part, where a person can spend real money for the casino chips. When a person wins a bet in the casino in the game, they get back more of the betting chips, which can then only be converted to GTA$ and not real money, so it does not provide real money or material goods.
​
What I am trying to say is, IF R☆ blocks the ability to buy the betting chips with GTA$ for people from countries that banned online gambling, and allow them to earn the chips from the casino missions and by playing in the casino, something that requires only time and not real money, then it will no longer count as gambling since there is no real money involved, just the betting chips in the game and the persons time.
That way, even people from countries that ban online gambling can enjoy the new update and content.

So since my country's laws don't allow players to gamble on the casino, I used a VPN and was able to access the content on my ps4. However, when I turned the VPN off and was returned to the story mode , I noticed that when I got back to GTA online I was still able to play on the casino even though it was technically illegal.
I don't know if this improves or lowers the odds of me getting banned but I wanted to share it. Maybe some of you can explain to me if having the VPN on is better than switching it everytime I open the game and turn it off right after.
*Everytime the game restarts it detects your location and doesn't change it until you close it and open it again. No matter if you switch your VPN on/off (on PS4 at least)

Should Rockstar do something about this? Will this be a disadvantage for those who can't use casino?
Have a nice day!

Alot of countries have banned casinos from gta online. I have lost most of my interest in that game. I always came back to see all new dlc stuff, but only thing i can do is to just watch other players win money and cars. Lootboxes work on a smilliar mechanic, right? For example these event alpha packs from rainbow six siege. Only avaliable with special currency that costs real money. IMO there should be a rule, where the banned countries can play, but only a few times a day. I know that you can use VPN's, but i do not want to risk my account. I hope rockstar will try to change that. Are you from a banned country? What do you think about this?
