Well, gee, its only been over six months now. How urgent can it be for Mainstreet to fix this? Obviously, its not very important to them. Talk is cheap and deeds are precious. Uh, but VWman keeps omitting that Mainstreet group is also falsely advertising who owns the casinos as well. False advertising and other misrepresentations are part of the pattern of deceit here. People are getting fooled here into thinking these are UK casinos and wagering in GB pounds is OK, and it really isn’t. Where are Mainstreet’s servers? I don’t see it listed on their websites. I don’t think they are really in the UK if they are processing all of the payments in US dollars!

I believe this is probably a case of failure to keep the websites up to date, and is unlikely to be related to the issue of the 5% fees.
Opinions are like bellybuttons. Everyone has one, but I strongly disagree. My problem here is that Mainstreet failed to disclose its bizarre policies of charging commissions on withdrawals. Even after they admitted they were wrong and edited their webpages, they still continued to falsely advertise related matters regarding how the payments are processed on the six casinos listed:
http://www.diamonddealcasino.com/aboutus.php
http://lasvegasusacasino.com/about_us.php
http://www.sunpalacecasino.com/support.html
http://www.twinacescasino.com/faq.php
http://www.slots.com/support.html
http://www.vegascasinoonline.com/faq.php

Again, actions speak louder than words, and I still haven’t been paid in full.

But for them to advertise as “Mainstreet Vegas ltd. registered in the UK”, and that they are owned by another UK company that process the financial transactions, AND THEN to selectively charge an undisclosed 5% commission for withdrawals in GB pounds is truly scandalous. The last time I checked those colourful pieces of paper with the Queen’s picture on them where the legal currency of the UK. This is outrageous!

I want to know to whom can I complain to about this nonsense in the UK?

The people on the new UK gaming commission should know about Mainstreet’s practices when considering them for licensing.
