How many check transactions did you have in life?
Do you know what a hassle it is when your check moves forward and comes to the bank/court and you atart arguing about whether it was cancelled for a valid reason?

Aside, in some contries the very cancellation of a check is illegal - bar a few exceptions. I mean you can cancel it and the bank will not honor it, but it is considered a criminal act.

Taken as a whole, many business consider check cancellation only as a last resort.

Note also, that many casinos have their checks issued by third party companies, which adds to the problematicness of cancelling checks.

problematicness

I was unavailable and my partner wrote a bad check. I had to plead nolo contendre (actually alfred plea) for a so-called withheld judgement. It still shows on my record. Guess I'm a fraudster. waaaaaa

Got this funny yellow paper from my bank the other day, said, 'this is a legal copy of your check you may use it as the original' Sure, sure, I'll do that.

Like paper and fire

You are missing the point completely Tester.

The whole check/fedex issue is an aside - any casino worth its salt would have fixed that situation up very quickly and sent him the funds via Neteller (then again, any casino worth its salt wouldnt have a $2500 weekly withdrawal limit). At the very least they could have just kept sending the rest of the weekly instalments via Neteller and looked into the check issue in the meantime - it was NOT an excuse to stop paying.

Its a very, very simple case of a casino not paying a customer on time and in full and according to their own terms and conditions.

The customer made their first withdrawal in mid-June 2006, and if they were paid at the max weekly amount of $2500 they should have been paid in full by around mid-September. It is now March 2007 and they are still owed more almost $10,000.

Its such a no-brainer that I cant believe that anyone actually has to argue the players' case.

1) the player did ot ask fcor another withdrawal, clearlyb implying that he wants this very disputed check. I udnerstand him. But he made the point that this is what he cares about. At least that is the appareance he made.

2) The $2,500 weekly limit is in the T&C. I still canno get why people keep arguing on stuff clearly stated beforehand.

Well. It happens that some people see the situation differently than you. As I already wrote here, I agree that the casino was not most competent in this situation. However, we hsould keep in mind the huge difference between various levels of problems.

When someone surfs the forums here he can geyt the impressins that a stupid chat session is almost as crucial as balatant non-payment. I do not like this "everything is catastrophe" approach.

Yup.

I'm blowing this whole player-taking-9-months-to-be-paid-and-still-isnt thing way out of proportion.

This statement is entirely incorrect. PM me if you would like to discuss it further. I don't see a need to explain every tiny bit of minutiae in this thread.

Just read all the articles about trying to get paid from Shark! Boy can I relate, they owed me 12,500 of which I received 4400 max payout at one time, after 3 weeks and 575 back into account. I have been trying to resolve this for over a month and have given them one last chance to resolve. If not cleared up by end of week, you'll be hearing my complaints...WOW! You will not believe it! I'll keep you posted on their integrity.

Yes, you requested a lot of different payouts for over $12K BUT you canceled most of them and played it all except the one for $4400, which we sent to you in full in a single payout, this information is available in your casino history for you to confirm as it is on our end where it shows that you or some one at your house cancelled the payouts requested.
