IMHO it is correct to be cautious about the kind of people to whom you are dealing with that lurk behind the curtains of any online casino because yes, it is cost-efficient to pay a thug to silent a problem which otherwise isn't going to go away easily ... when you take into consideration the kind of money that these casinos see coming in (and then on top of that have very little money going out due to cash-in stall or avoid tactics)
... and the kind of damage an adamant campaign to bring such an unscrupulous casino's tactics to light can do in terms of warding off potential and even current players which as mentioned represent an almost one-sided flow of currency ... could easily and quickly prove very expensive to the offending casino.
And when you consider that: it doesn't take very long before losing even a few decent-sized players would represent far more money lost than it would take to hire a thug ...
... and since it is true there exists the kind of scum whose values are such that greed and money is placed above respect for life ... it is prudent that everyone understand this before they potentially put themselves in a position they may later deeply regret.
...........
that said; what amazes me is the incredible lack of intelligence and business savvy their whole approach to your situation has shown.
I mean, can you be any more small-time than to be stupid enough to give someone a hassle about cashing-out money they never gambled in the first place? especially a lousy $200. Geez even the bad casinos spend that on advertising in the same manner you or i would spend the cost of a cup of coffee ... on a cup of coffee.
and I think we can all agree it has already cost them a ton more than $200 in terms of bad publicity just in this thread.
As an affiliate (please note this is speaking generally as I am not now or ever been affiliated with bet royal or sister sites) - this is the sort of thing that makes me freakin' crap my pants! It costs me more than that to send a real depositing player to the casino and here this stupid #!*%$@! is basically catching them as I sent them thru the gate and turning them around running them off ... and for what? nothing!
Show some damn brains (if you can't muster integrity) and give the customer back what is his/hers in the first place and maybe ... just maybe they will decide to go ahead and gamble it since you had just proven you were worthy of their business.
And here's a surprise! they might just decide to keep on playing at your establishment for a lot more than the tune of $200.
Now what makes it even more amazingly STUPID is that since they are obviously an unsavory bunch anyhow ... why not do it right: and follow my advice above and then once you've looped them in to trusting you ... then later (and I remind you only if you won enough and were cashing out enough to merit it ..) then later they can still always screw you around then.
These guys can't even manage to be smart enough to be competent thieves.
I guess at least we have that going for us ....
