RTG's Caribbean 21 lie

[aceinhole21]

Just so everyone knows where I stand on this:

I just want to say that I admire CasinoMeister's integrity. I thought he was wrong at first to call Pirate a "fraudster" and was even about to ban him (especially since this forum is the only recourse Pirate had, which is why I had suggested to him he try another forum), but CasinoMeister was able to do something that most people wont- admit they were wrong and make amends. In fact I like how he is now putting the heat on Hamptons to shit or get off the pot. And a story by MSNBC is probably the best way to address this, and at least would publicly expose the idiotic antics of Hamptons to the world. Anyway, in my support I am going to click through a few links here and play at some of the advertisers here now.

I would just like to request to the rest of the gaming community not to blame the other RTG operators. Some out there are trying to make the business reputable and RTG stands with the operators that are honest and fair. Hampton tried to worm themselves out of a humiliating situation and they got plunged deeper into their whole. Casinomeister did the honourable thing to apologize to the player. You go Casinomeister.

As usual RTG gets a black eye in the medias. Why do they always wait until it's to late. When they began discrediting Hampton in this forum they knew Hampton was deadwrong. What were they waiting for? Rons braintransplant so he would be able to do the right thing?

But many gamblers blame RTG and the casinos for disputes like the “Pirate”-Hampton standoff. Such problems occur all too often, they say, because the software company fails to exert any oversight on its licensees and that, as a consequence, some of the RTG-affiliated casinos run shady operations.

LOL.

Ron The Gangster is selling up.

So apparently the reason for not wanting to pay was not in fact related to detailed study of mouse-mapping and other highly technical matters leading the the indisputable, proven conclusion that the player cheated.

It's actually because he doesn't have the money.

I'd never have guessed.

This article will be read by millions! Go to msnbc.com, then click science/tech, and the article is listed right there! This is the most appropriate fate for the Hamptons crew. Although I am not sure if this publicity is a good thing or not for Pirate's situation. The article also shows that some other casino managers (I think it was Breakaway mentioned in the article) were responsible enough not to raise Pirate's betting limits for realization something like this could happen. What is unfair is they took away Pirate's anonymity by printing his last name, but they didn't print the true name of Lewin. This idiot should have his identity revealed, so the only future job he can get will be flipping burgers.

This article is excellent!

Mike Brunker did an incredible job of describing the nasty situation while not harming the online gambling industry.

To the contrary: He helped our cause by pointing out the inherent problems with the gambling laws in the U.S. as they currently stand:

"Keith Furlong, deputy director of the Interactive Gaming Council, a gambling industry group that promotes best-practice guidelines for online betting sites, said that some problems with RTG licensees occur because the U.S.-based company has had to go to considerable lengths to insulate itself from its licensees out of concern that it would otherwise run afoul of federal anti-gambling statues.

“That’s why we’ve advocated for government regulation since 1996,” said Furlong, a former New Jersey gaming regulator. “.... Without regulation, our most-responsible gambling companies, which guarantee fairness and understand issues like problem gambling, aren’t allowed to participate in this industry and give it credibility.” "

He also chose to quote strong advocates of the online gaming industry. People such as Keith Furlong and Bryan Bailey.

All in all, a stand-up job.

Three cheers for Mike Brunker!
