PLAYTECH: the nightmare list

[sdaddy]

Should be added to the list?
(just asking after reading many negative posts but I dont know the current situation)

I would have to agree with you there. I went through my own payment nightmare with them for months.

Royal is a famously slow-paying sports book, alla Grand Banks, which has been looking for a buyer for a long time now. Most likely not broke, but not a place you want to have your money. Also, they have a history of offering deposit bonuses with no wagering requirements. Why? One assumes it's so that they can cover withdrawals: one more deposit in = one more customer paid. Really is a bit of a ponzi scheme, which can only explode eventually if a buyer does not come along. No current casino issues as far as I know.

Haha, speak of the devil; what did I just get in my email?

15% No PlayThru Bonus on any deposit over $100 or more.

...delightfully appropriately, themed on the various "Corleone" family members in the film The Godfather!

I think not.

Just put my 2p worth..

Played at Vegas Red,Casino Tropez,Casino Del Rio and
Monaco Casino over a year ago, cashed out a fair bit from them all and was paid.

But was the usual "please send ID" from them and over a week to 2 weeks wait for the whole proccess.

Suffice to say i no longer play at any of them any more.

I also still play at the Tropez-Europa group and the Swiss group and get paid normally but the point is what happens with the people who have specific problems, not the rest of us. New players should be warned about the various "typical" tricks and dangers. (I cannot forget a bad experience with USA casino in my early times of online gaming)

This gives me an idea: Although the list may become complicated, it would be useful to place a grade beside each group of the danger involved (e.g. 1-5 or 1-10, from less dangerous-more dangerous, or use a number of "nightmare" icons).
Caruso must be the most appropriate person to do that and also has lot of information and experiences for a better evaluation.

There is not one casino out there for which someone will not be able to say "I played and was paid".

It is of absolutely no relevance - no more than it is when a player posts a complaint and someone chips in with "hey, FTR I played here and was paid. Just my 2 cents".

And..? The point is what? What does this prove?

These casinos have payment issues, or are sister casinos to those with payment issues. This was my point in making the list.

The point about grading each entry: that would be a bit of a pain in the arse and I'm not sure it would achieve anything more. It would also inevitably be contentious. I think a simple listing, highlighted as is, is pretty much adequate. In the opening post I listed the issues pertaining to each casino. I can redo all that to include ALL the additional groups.

Thanks for the thought though, Nectar4d.

Are there any readers from Asia, who have experience and can evaluate the "Asian market" oriented casinos of Samvo, Dafa888 and ****** playtech casinos?
****** has an impressive site and nice bonus terms and I was wondering about their reliability...
About Dafa888, when someone clicks the english page, Megasport casino appears, so they seem to be under the same group.
Asian-based readers may enlighten us

Ha ha ****** casino used to spam this forum, so I made their name unmentionable. I almost forgot about that. Pretty nifty tool, eh?

Yes Bryan, I understood that directly as I show my post!
Handy tool!
Lets see if the tool is clever enough: zip-ang, zippang, ziipang, zipan-g

But spamming from casino reps such a dominant and so helpful to players forum is unacceptable for sure. Not a good start to attract western players.
