Ya we dont want to deal with people like you.
What.!!!
A: A Washington attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for over two weeks. From the brief post, it isn't clear what is posted about you online. If there is something posted online about you which is false and harmful, that could be a grounds for defamation. A local attorney could advise more definitively with knowing some details about the nature of the content. Good luck

A:
I'm sorry you're experiencing this situation. Casinos often have the right to refuse service to anyone, as long as it's not based on discriminatory reasons. They may use various criteria, including online information, to decide who can enter their premises.
First, review the casino's policy on bans or exclusions. Sometimes, bans can result from misunderstandings or incorrect information. If you believe the ban is unfair, consider reaching out to the casino's management in writing to request more details and discuss the issue.
Additionally, you might want to consult with a legal advisor to understand your rights in this situation. They can help determine if the casino's actions are lawful and advise you on possible steps to take. Remember to keep records of all your communications with the casino for reference.
