Villa Fortuna - MAFIA TERMS
Just be warned, there is a term at Villa Fortuna, I didn't believe my eyes when I saw it:
Inactive accounts WILL NOT receive balance payments for wins. An active account requires that a player deposits a minimum of $/?/€20 per week, and that the deposit is wagered through 20X. (All table games and Video Poker excluded from meeting the wagering requirements). You can ALSO keep your account active by depositing $/?/€80 and wagering it through 20X at least once a month. Again all table games and Video Poker games are excluded from wagering). Well, thats wagering requirements on normal deposits AND if you happen to play there and havn't played a month, they can always say: "ehh, ehh, you will not receive a single coin...your account is sleeping..." You really have to wager 1600€ on Slots only per month, or you will not receive any winnings?? What if you deposit 80, and cannot meet the 1600 (not too uncommon) ? You have to deposit more and then wager it again 20 times ????? Oh MY GOD, Microgaming should kick'em out !! FAST! |

Previously, terms relating to inactive accounts have allowed 180 days to pass, and only charge fees as a deduction on balances left behind, and the player can take some of the blame for not making sure all their monies are accounted for. In effect, a player could take a break from playing, either generally, or at individual casinos, and for a mere few weeks at Villa Fortuna, and them return and have all losing deposits taken without comment, but with the possiblilty of payouts being refused based on this term. In terms of responsible gambling, there may be spells where there is not any spare money for weeks to months, and it is right that the player should be able to stop gambling, and return the next time they have some money to spare. There are now TWO very serious issues with Grand Prive, yet Microgaming seems not to care - shown by their inaction on the previous issue, which is essentially a breach of contract between a business and a number of it's promoters, surely not something Microgaming would tolerate if it were THEY that were told they would not be paid for the rights to use the software despite payment being agreed in the initial contract. It seems the industry sinks lower and lower, and if someone does not take action, it wont only be the US banning them, other governments will be queueing up to implement bans based on reports of such predatory terms, breaches of contract, and general "we are outside the law" approach some casinos have to their business. There are a large number of countries where these casinos are technically illegal, but are tolerated because the governments have more important issues to worry about. If problems increase, then the issues will become "mainstream", and the majority who do not play online, or even understand it much, will be demanding action from governments to deal with the "menace" of unaccountable offshore casinos taking money and there being little a player can do if they renege on the bets, or cheat players by rogue "smallprint" that would normally never be allowed anywhere near a consumer contract.

Unreal - it is staggering that an online gambling group that has been around as long as Grand Prive can even consider this sort of crap.
It's almost as if they want to chase players away - something they have probably managed to do with their many other reeally stupid moves.

Just a small note on this I discovered when writing it up: the rule only applies to players awaiting balance payments on wins over $10k, which is maximum monthly withdrawal limit. It's still bad, but worth noting.

And interestingly, a casino I've never heard of called "Mandarin Palace" which must be tied in to GP too as the T&C's are identical. xhttp://www.mandarinpalace.com/terms-and-conditions.html#player-warrants |
