Cool Cat Casino Won't Honor Deal

[bgammonb]

I was contacted by telephone and offered a 200% bonus by Sam Nathan who is with Cool Cat Casino, I explained that I did not gamble at Cool Cat because the bonuses were noncashable. Mr Nathan said that he could make half of the bonus cashable. I specifically asked Mr Nathan if I was correct in understanding that if I deposited 100 dollars, I would receive a 200 dollar bonus and that 100 dollars of the bonus was cashable. He said that I understood correctly. I deposited 100 dollars and received a 200 dollar bonus. I was fortunate and won three hundred dollars fulfilling the play requirements. When I requested a withdrawal of 600 dollars, Cool Cat Casino subtracted the 200 dollar bonus and deposited 400 dollars via Neteller. I contacted the casino several times by phone and was told that the matter would be resolved and that I would be notified. I was told that the phone call was recorded, so I thought the matter would be resolved. Instead, I was emailed by Valerie Simmons saying that the bonus was non-cashable.
Since they have the conversation recorded and I remember what the agreement was, this should be easy to resolve if the casino personnel are honest. It doesn't look that way.

I'm surprised that an online casino would attempt to solicit customers via phone, especially since it would likely have better coverage with a mass mailing - via snail or electronic. And you do not appear to be a high-limit player, so I'm curious as to the telemarketing effort.

Regardless, since you have neither a transcript nor anything in writing, I'd daresay that your chance of receiving the money (which runs contrary to their general policy) is slim to none. Could it be possible that you misunderstood the casino rep?

It is the first time I have heard of a "partly cashable bonus". A verbal agreement is just as binding as one you have in writing. Unfortunately it will be very difficult for you to prove that Mr. Nathan promised a partly cashable bonus over the phone if the casino refuses to pay out the bonus money. Let's hope the casino is honest and honors the deal it offered you.

What else is new, bonus problems, phonecalls not honored, casino stalling. Remember: Always get it in writing.

What is the word on this Cool Cat Casino? Are they rogue/unreliable?

Cheers,

This is the casino equivalent of the dodgy doorstep salespitch. Verbal promises, nothing in writing. When it comes to honouring the promises you find out that the salesman exceeded his authority by making "special arrangements" with a particular customer.
Such sales reps are generally on commission, so they actually have a vested interest in making the customer sign up. Here in the UK our big Gas and Electricity utilities have actually been FINED by the authorities for allowing this practice to happen and then saying "what promises" when the customer complains they have not got the deal they signed for. A couple have received multiple fines as they STILL don't get the point the regulator is trying to make to them!
The most common response I have had after this kind of stunt is "they no longer work for us", but they still expect the customer to take the consequences of the deception.
The only casino that has telephoned me offering a "special deal" is Royal Vegas, after I stopped playing because the promotions were "crap", and their software kept falloing over.
If any rep offers a deal that falls outside general policy, forget about this "all calls are recorded" crap. Marketing callcentres pull this one all the time, usually it is only a SELECTION that are recorded in order to facilitate training, and any dodgy rep will make sure to use a phone that is NOT in the system for monitoring.

　I had a same kind of problem with them once. They never fullfill their promise
they made either by phone or on chat, Cool Cat was last casino I will choose
to play at now.

By the way, they might be "asking you" if you "WOULD LIKE" to close your
account in the near future which occured to me when I posted complaints
at WOL and you will notice how broad their capacity of mind is.

And funnier thing is after I closed the account "according to their request",
they have been "SPAMMING ME OVER HALF A YEAR" for their promotions
which shows what kind of smart guys they are.

This group does offer partially cashable bonuses... Cirrus does anyway. So such a thing does exist, but next time ask for an email.

Don't ever ever make deals over the phone. Always get any deal - especially something as stupid as this one, in writing. This group of casinos are notorious for doing this. It's your word against theirs now.

I have played at Cool Cat & had the same thing happen to me - unfortunately, they just put you off with excuses which will make me never go back.

Stick to the big players which are reputable - you can't really go wrong!
