Already mentioned, but I'm updating this thread as it relates specifically to this issue.
Gambling Federation now blacklisted by Michael Shakelford, the "Wizard Of Odds".

The first reason is non-payment of winnings. In May 2005 A player by the initials CB opened accounts at 10 Gambling Federation casinos in the same day, all with the same bonus, and played them all in rapid succession. He had large wins at two of them, for a large overall net win. The Gambling Federation refunded all ten deposits for the reason he was clearly a bonus abuser. It is a long story but in the end they site (sic) the following rule as reason enough not to pay, although other reasons were originally disputed, "The Casino management reserves the right to withhold any funds if it suspects any foul play or manipulation with the Casino. It is recognized and agreed to by the Player that, in the case of any discrepancy whatsoever, management's decision on all matters will be final." The screenshots below show the two wins that were never paid.
The reason I blame G-Fed, as opposed to just the two casinos shown above, is that the decision to not pay the winnings came from G-Fed and not individual casino management.

My own discussion about this matter with the Fogli boys can be read here in my
G-Fed at ICE report, and the player posted about this outcome at
WinnerOnLine.
