Ridiculous offer from Virtual

[VirtualDanny]

You guys are all way off base. Every year I do this 911 promotion, amongst other important subjects dear to my heart. When I first did it I had players contacting me saying thank you that I did it and in the way I did it. I didn't do it last year, but when I didn't, I received a great deal of contact asking me why I didn't and telling me I should have continued. My style of promotions are different then that of what you will see in other casinos. Thats just the way I am. I like to draw attention to things that matter to me. The only way I can bring any attention to important subjects obviously is to do it through my promotions. I'm from New York, my sister was there when it happened 3 blocks away and just got out, so don't for once think you got me all figured out. Don't for once think I did this promotion for a deposit. You dont know me. I shed light where I feel it needs to be, I keep players thinking and remembering what it is they need to remember. I try to do good where I can as well, unlike others. Do you not see my pledge to The Red Cross? Were you guys also upset at my Katrina Promotion where we pledged? If you don't like something I'm only an email away. All you have to do is tell me and then I can explain my reasons and then you can make your judgments. Im very surprised at you jumping on this band wagon Steven, very surprised. Seven was a typo by the way - it should have said Several. I caught it after I saw it. I know it wasnt 7 years ago.

What a joke. The players that were thanking you are BONUS WHORES, and could care less WHY you're giving them a monster bonus.

As you can see by the feedback here, this was a totally tasteless promotion.

I'm glad your sister got out, that's great.

Your pledge to red cross? A matching $1 for every deposit? Get real. If you really cared about it, this amount would be MUCH higher. If you really donated so much, let's see figures (and proof) for what you're donating.

You'll come in and pipe up to defend your actions about honoring a promotion, but clam up about constant player complaints about not getting paid?

WE are all wrong? All of us? Other than him I see NO ONE else agreeing with him. Wonder what his sister thinks?

With friends like him, who needs enemies?

And gosh there are soo many other things that need be memorialized...cancer, euthanasia, serial murders, soldier deaths from roadside bombs, why did he stop at one?
And FYI a typo is when you type ate in stead of eight or sax instead of six.
So sickening I am almost too embarrassed to admit I have ever gamlbled online anywhere.

He should just have made a game for Red Cross/ Heroes. He is sooo stupid.

Hi Danny,

Thanks for joining the discussion - er, lion's den. Like I said in my email, RTG should shut you guys down - period.

This promo is abhorrent. If you wanted to do something honorable, you could have donated a month's worth of profit or something of this matter to the Red Cross. I don't care if you're from Manhattan, Basra, or Timbuktu. You don't have ownership of a very horrible incident. You exploited a tragedy to gain profit.

And there is no band wagon here. You are simply wrong.

If you still don't "get it" then you never will.

Mr dany. We are one day after 911 and you still have time to send execuses to all players. You still mainting your decision on that promotion and you continue to post here to convince peoples.

Do you know that if the americans autorities know about that ,then you will have to answer in front of an american judge and the family of the victims about who give the right to use this tragedy in the marketing or gambling industry. The 911 is in all our harts and we have our own ways to remember it. I think what you have to do is an excuses to the honest players, to RTG CEO, to the spirit of the victims and clear yourself at the end, then you can come to this website to post .Be sure you have no right for this anymore.

Thank you for having me in Bryan. Like I said, this has been so totally blown out of proportion. And not one of you are willing to listen to me. So I don't know what else to say. Only that I know why I did it. I just received my log on info so if there were Payout complaints I didn't know about them to post any replies to.

Danny,
I know you and I know where your heart was, but when you bring up things like the "Twin Towers", and Certain places, that feels more like salt in a wound than anything else. To honor the fallen there is usually silence or a ringing bell, there is not someone shouting from the rooftops, and that is what your invitation was like. Yes it was a terrible thing and no one should ever forget, but no one needs to see the videos of the towers falling to remind them.

And with your other promotion....what's up with offering a "come back" bonus to those who you confiscated funds from?

afaik: Virtual owns all virtual casinos. The GM is Amit Jain, the owner is Tej
One subgroup is the prism, sov, vip, etc. managed by Chris D.
The virtual group of virtual is Danny, or Roger's herd.
I don't think Danny influences Chris's management nor viceversa so I don't see Danny answering that.

But fundamentally, afaik, all profits from any of their casinos go to the same place.

I am not defending anything here so please don't mix your emotions on and ally me with this faux pas promotional blunder of Danny's.

The casino's honesty, reliablility and overall reputation really should be seperate from this thread and if this manager has skin thick enough to take on the heat here, he should be allowed the opportunity at a future time in another thread, as well as the opportunity to correct any past unresolved issues.

The promotion is the issue here.

You want me to believe your heart's in the right place, and this was all done for charity? Oh, HELL no.
If you had really wanted to do something, then you could have simply posted a message....MESSAGE...not a promotion, on the front page of your site...along with a pledge from Virtual to give a large donation. Period. No bonuses, no sick little word games with the coupons, no revenue collected by Virtual on the backs of the victims.
Your company is evil, your customers are greedy simpletons, and you sir are a money hungry artard.
Bugger off.
