Sorry - apples and oranges, dude.

The funds coming from a progressive jackpot win, like in this situation, are pooled from all operators on a monthly basis. When a player wins the jackpot at xyz casino, and cashes out, the casino only loses the player's deposit - not the $5 mill whatever. But the funds pass through the casino and into the player's casino account.

When the player cashes this out, the casino has no right (IMO) to delay or make stipulations on these funds since this is not the casino's money. The TIV thread is a different situation - it's the casino's money.

I certainly saw the difference that you refer to and thus said simliar in tactic as to intent (avoid having the make pay-outs on large wins ((but I understood the means of obtaining the flow of funds are apples and oranges)) the with the devil being in the details. (TandC's,PM's,Screenshots et al). I will cease as maybe you will be interested in the devil of the details later and sorry for the derail but I also believe and know as others there is an ethics issue in both although apples and oranges.

That is a ridiculous amount to win online. Its a scarey thought. In a strange way I would be happier with a 20k win

i cashed 29k at casino rewards once (god im due) and got paid within 72 hours direct in my cnd bank account. but im a high roller so mabey that has something to do with it.
