Grand Banks Casino please help!!

[athena]

okay does anybody know if this casino is to be trusted cos i won some money last week and they are taking forever to send me the bank draft. i've been in contact with their accounts department and they said they are back logged and that they will process my request on a first come first serve or some crap like that and that..basically when they get to me..but I dunno I have a feeling they arent gonna send me my winnings...

Was this cashin for a first time deposit, or have you made a few deposits there using a bonus? This makes a big difference.

If you haven't done so already, fill out the "Pitch a Bitch" form and I'll be getting on this next week.

FYI, it took a month to get mine from their sister casino, black widow. And that was after some intervention by Bryan. They gave me the same excuse as they did to you, and others here have had the same issues.

I played at Grand Banks a fair bit at the end of last year and the begining of this one. They are slow to pay! Any cashouts from this group have taken me between a month and six weeks. They paid me everytime but never quickly. If the only excuse you are getting is that you are in the queue I think you are OK. If prompt payment is important to you I suggest you skip Grand Banks until you hear that their payment turnaround has improved. If you can wait a few weeks then they are probably fine.

It's incredible that this industry has become so bad that one month to six weeks delays on legit cashouts are now apparently regarded as acceptable.

This sort of delay is not acceptable and these casinos know it.

Our Casinomeister had an interesting discussion in Montreal last week with the BW owner and will be sharing that with you in due course. It will make for interesting reading, I'm sure!

yes, the newest edition has been posted here with a scathing report about the BW group.

Ohhh, scandalous indeed!!

OH MY GOD! Bryan, I hope you made up or dreamt that whole scenario with that scumbag that owns BW & I assume GB Casino as well. That is simply unbelievable that he would have the balls to actually say that they are screwing around with payments to anyone who uses a bonus. The arrogance of this guy is nearly beyond belief!

I can guarantee them this, I am a loyal Casinomeister member and will be removing their software from my computer WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE as soon as I get home and I urge everyone else to do the same thing. I won't go back unless they clean up their act (not likely!).

I wanted to also say THANK YOU to Bryan for having the integrity and morality to say no to this clown's offer of megabucks to promote them. You are probably the most honorable person in this business and all of us players owe you a debt of gratitude for watching out for OUR best interest.

I think that the Casinomeister has by his actions proved on any number of occasions that he's not for sale and will always tell it like it is. He has come under attack from certain operators, the GPWA and others for doing this, but on the positive side he has deservedly earned credibility from the players (and others in the industry)

As for Mr. Woods...well, his rather silly approach to the Casinomeister has shown him and his casinos up for what they are, and it is not a very flattering picture.

Hi Bryan and all...I just read the situation which took place between Bryan and the moron from Black Widow. I cannot believe that Mr. Woods thought Byan could be bought. I have said it many times on this forum that Bryan Bailey is a man of integrity and honesty. As for everyone who is continuing to gamble at Black Widow, I would hope that you give some serious thought as to what this casino is all about and what little if any regard they have for thier players.

Many casinos are popping up all over the internet and they have one intention and one only...that is to rip off the players. It is obvious that the industry is getting extremely bad. However, who should we blame? The cainos or ourselves?
It is our patronage of Rogue Casinos that give these crooked bastards the confidence to continue their deceitful behavior. If you are a member of Casinomeister, and do not adhere to the warnings of these scam casinos, and continuing playing at these sites, why are you so shocked when you are ripped off? I think we owe it to Bryan and all of our online gambling friends, to clearly warn them of thieving sites such as Black Widow.

I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I do know that if we want this industry to be honest, then we MUST STOP PLAYING at rogue casinos.

linda7,

You have brought up some really good points IMO, however like most things, most people don't care unless it's them who are out of pocket or lost in some way.

Bit like saying " Speed Kills " ( as in driving ) everyone know that it does, but who listens!

It's also like the Virtual Casino Group, I see it every day, people say " I would never deposit there, no way! " But these same people are using their ( Virtual Casino Group ) Freebie Coupons.

Somehow they just don't understand that doing this, they are keeping these rogue casino's in business.

If people veto a casino because it has a bad reputation, the casino will either go down the tubes or fix its act up.

At the end of the day, if nothing changes - nothing changes!
