The
real problem though, with online gambling, is that the lack of any internationally recognized regulatory board, allows rogue operators to flourish and prosper.
What a sad commentary on the industry, that the Crystal Palace's of the world, have to be "goaded" into paying up rightfully accrued winnings (assuming of course, they pay at all, which is highly unlikelyl!)
Insofar as casino bonus promos go (most notably with
RTG sites..), again, the primary intent of many operators is to thoroughly confuse and yet entice the player to make a large deposit.
Of course, when a cashout is requested, then the litany of obscure bonus rules violations are rolled out, and the player is ulitmately screwed - and winds up on a board like this!
Yes, I agree that "buyer beware" is still very much part of the deal here....You wager at a disreputable site with a sordid history and you're asking for trouble....STILL.....it's downright shocking - and disgusting - to see so many of these clowns still in business for so many years regardless of the volume or intensity of player complaints..
While I do not agree with the current US position to severely restrict/ban online gambling activity, count me as a very strong supporter for the British and Australian systems of truly REGULATING online casino operators.
Final comment: it's time for
RTG and other "software developers" to stop hiding behind that flimsy curtain, and terminate licensees who consistently behave in a below board manner. Even those that are top producers,,,
