Inter-Casino Progressive Jackpot Games

Haha, remember when Mike (Hitmob, Radio Boy, Foofoo) interviewed the $1 MILLION winner of Oriental Casino's contest LIVE on Casinogazette.com??

Does anyone really believe this prize is legit. Did Bossmedia ever come forth with evidence of this?

In January 2001, Susanne Uebler from Long Island, New York State, USA
won $1,000,000 in Oriental Casino. Now, just over a year later, she
explains how winning the money completely changed her life...

"My life did change quite a lot and I am happy as can be. I had the
chance to finish school without the pressure of having to work and all
my bills were paid and it was really fantastic to go to the beach
during the week.

I bought a 36ft. motor home that, thanks to the casino, is completely
paid off. My boyfriend and I left at the beginning of January to drive
to Key West in Florida, where we enjoyed two fabulous months in the
sun.

All this would not be possible without Oriental Casino. My life is
great".

Susanne promises she'll keep us posted on everything she gets up to
over
the coming months as she continues to enjoy her million dollar
lifestyle.

Has anyone come forward with evidence that it was NOT legit? The burden of proof usually rests with the accuser.

I was in liaison with Mike Craig on other matters when this particular exercise was in progress and I can tell you that he was enthusiastic and acting in the genuine belief (which has yet to be overturned btw) that the win was one hundred percent genuine.

I guess there will always be cynicism and negative innuendo when positive things like jackpot hits come along - perhaps the answer would be for the companies involved to have the award certified by an independent third party audit - but then there would probably be someone saying the audit company was in their pocket. Where does it end?

People worldwide who win big on lotteries and jackpots often do not want to be identified for a variety of reasons, and it is right in my view that their wishes in this regard be respected - imagine yourself in that fortunate position! That always provides fertile ground for those who wish to cast doubt on the whole concept of jackpots.

Oh *yawn*

Back to this I see...

When I was at the ICE 2001 in London (along with Mike) we chanced upon the Boss Media booth, and lo and behold on their computer screens was their winner exclaiming her happiness at winning this lucky prize...

If it wasn't a legitimate win, would Boss Media be flaunting this at their booth for thousands of people to question and scrutinize? I don't think so. It wouldn't have been a smart move.

Jetset, you're 200% right.

A major accounting firm needs to be involved,
and certify that the winnings are legitimate.
I may be paranoid, BUT EVEN *I* WOULD NOT ACCUSE A MAJOR ACCOUNTING FIRM being bought off by the software developer. (With the possible exception of Aurthur Andersen.) The accounting firm just needs to verify the transfer of funds from point A to point B, certify that the person receiving the funds is REAL. The accounting firm will then obtain a copy of the player's drivers license or other ID on file as proof.) Also the accounting firm will obtain a copy of the players banking details.

There are a couple of internet lotteries that had thier major prizes certified by KPMG.

So it is absolutely do-able. Why should players take an internet casino's WORD for granted.

We, THE PLAYERS, have been lied to TOO MANY TIMES.
