My understanding of people who count cards on Blackjack(The only situation where it is "too good at the games") is that a Casino put restrictions on their play when caught - they can only play 1 box, and at minimum bet. And that is assuming that a Casino isn't just using Continuous Shuffling Machines.
This at least used to apply at Skycity Adelaide. Because yeah, it isn't a crime to have a good memory.
It'll depend on the casino and the player. A heavily bankrolled team or individual card counter are more likely to get kicked out than someone who's doing it for fun and winning on the order of a few hundred dollars. This guy has a bunch of videos showing his experiences as a professional card counter and how casinos often like to skirt around the law when dealing with card counters
