VIP LOUNGE CASINO??

[dunarunnin]

anyone have any opinions on them?

 

[jetset]

Here you go - from last week's Casinomeister News:

Classy and understated

The owners of the latest online casino to be launched with Realtime Gaming software seem to have done a lot of research before putting the site together, and the result at VIP Lounge Casino.com bears witness to their diligence.

The presentation of the theme successfully conveys an ambience of luxury, opulence, elegance and class and is very professionally executed on a site that has plenty of upfront information and is easy to navigate.

Taking a leaf out of 32Red's book, the management and is clearly identified with contact addresses. Manager Christopher diAngelo reports to the British owners, Westar Accounting in Southampton, and general manager William McNamara.

The loyalty program is creatively structured around three levels of membership - VIP, Hi Roller and Jetsetter - each with escalating incentives for players. On the signup front there's a 200 percent signup bonus, and that is augmented with a 20 percent reload bonus and several promotions and draws that will help to retain players.

Adding interest is an unusual (for online gambling) section which enhances the theme by looking at lifestyle choices for the rich and famous like private jets, exotic cars, mansions and holiday homes, jewellery, travel and private boats - an eye-catching and interesting addition.

The main attraction will be the download games - a very large gambling suite for all tastes from Realtime Gaming which features all the latest offerings from the company and 10 big win progressives. These are all accessible through a games preview panel that is well designed and easy to use.

Players will also find a wide choice of financial instruments through which they can deposit and withdraw including Neteller Instacash.

Here's the JF release:

KAHNAWAKE, Canada -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- The Jackpot Factory officially raised the curtain on the newest member of the group, The VIP Lounge Casino.

[dunarunnin]

thank you both for your input..Ive been reading mixed reviews and wanted more opinions.I did have the pleasure of talking with support and they were very helpful and informative..which is always a plus in my book!

 

[jetset]

JF's VIP lounge is jfviplounge.com

Aha! All is explained. Thank you, GM.

 

[chuchu59]

I know there is a free non-cashable $50 to try them out. As Jetset said, the casino gives you a great feel different from the usually mundane RTGs. Too bad I busted so I dont know about the timing of the cashouts.

 

[frufrugirl]

I know there is a free non-cashable $50 to try them out.




Chuchu....who has the $50.....jfvip or the other. I didnt see it at vip lounge casino..any tips on how to find it?

 

[dunarunnin]

about the free $50 to try them out...typical 15x rollover..2x max cash out of chip..and you need to make a deposit of atleast $50 to show "good faith" and that you are not a bonus abuser..

I kind of enjoyed the first time in the lobby..very James Bondish...but after a few minutes I was very grateful for voulume control..most definately a classy rtg...

 

[frufrugirl]

But have you played there and won....

Had to edit cause you and I were typing at the same time! I couldnt find the $50 chip thing. Where did you get it?
According to csr there you can play on anything to meet the 15xdb 200pcnt signup bonus.No restrictions. I copied the transcript because there just isnt much in the way of t&c requirements. Im hesitant to deposit since there hasnt been much buzz about it.
This is the viploungecasino right?

Yeah, this made me pause, too. Not to mention it's a sticky bonus, but there are NO games prohibited from being played?

Wonder how long that will last?

 

[amatrine]

Re

Probably because they do not offer all the RTG games there.

I was disapointed that my favorite games were not available.

There were no regular rtg slots, and in the real series they did not have Ronin.

Not sure what else is missing. I do not play blackjack or anything so didnt look.

Thought I'd go for a bit of a snoop, check out the T&C's and so on.

(remove XXX)
On the promotions page (XXXhttp://www.viploungecasino.com/promotions.html)the terms & conditions link only refers you to these few lines:

By redeeming promotion code VIP200 you agree to VIP Lounge Casino terms and conditions.

200% Match Bonus comes with a 15 times rollover (based on the amount of your deposit + the bonus amount).

You are eligible to withdraw your deposit and winnings however, bonus money is considered non-cashable and will be removed from your withdrawal request.


However...Looking over at:
Outdated URL (Invalid)

Tells a completely different story.

Maximum Withdrawal: Maximum withdrawals are based on the amount of your deposit only.

For example, if you make a deposit of $100.00 and take a 100% bonus that comes with a 10X maximum withdrawal, the maximum that you will be allowed to withdrawal is 10X the amount of your deposit ($1,000.00). In the event that the bonus is non-cashable, which will most likely be the case with any bonus of more than 50%, you will want to request your withdrawal for 10X the amount of your deposit plus the amount of the bonus that you redeemed. In this same scenario, $1,100.00 would be the perfect amount to request as a withdrawal in order to cover your maximum withdrawal of $1,000.00 and the amount of the non-cashable bonus ($100.00).


Why casinos have the BS 10x cashout rule is beyond me. They try to portray the lavishness of their B&M conterparts, but when it comes down the the nitty gritty they pull this BS 10x cashout capper.

Not to mention restricting weekly withdrawls too.

Standard players : $5,000 week

HIGHROLLER: This player class will receive payments of up $5,000.00 per day, and up to $10,000.00 per week, until their winnings are paid in full.

JETSETTER: This player class will receive payments of up $10,000.00 per day, and up to $25,000.00 per week, until their winnings are paid in full.


IMO VIP Lounge Casino has lots of eye candy and looks the part. However, trying to portray the image and high roller style they've chosen makes me laugh when they still enforce a maximum withdrawl limit per week.

Thanks but no thanks, I'm sticking to microgaming.

 

[brianzz]

There were no regular rtg slots, and in the real series they did not have Ronin

Ronin is listed under slots/real series video slots and the 3 reel regular slots are listed under slots/video slots/three reel classics.


damn spell check

I won 640$ last week with their sign up bonus - even thought they claim that they have a 4 days payouttime - I received the funds within 24 hours.

Thats great

...but I agree with you - 5.000$ pr. week is way out

 

[aussiekeith]

I have not tried VIP Lounge Casino as yet, but I will be very soon.
I have had email with the manager who told me that there is no payout restrictions on any bonus`s except for the VIP Bonus which as a restriction.
Its a nice Casino and cool how the Man and Lady move from the left to the right in the software screen when it loads up.
I see they have all the video slots installed now but as yet, I have only played in freeplay mode.
As soon as I get paid out from a certain rtg casino that I am awaiting money from, then I will deposit at the VIP Lounge for sure.

 

[amatrine]

Re

Thanks Brianz. Mabey ronin wasnt up yet when I played . I played when it first opened.

The rugluar slots listed under video, ahh, thats why I didnt see it

After being screwed by a $10 max bet on a sticky from Club Player recently and then hearing that Casino Extreme has been doing the same, I've been skeptical about depositing for anymore RTG sticky bonuses. What game(s) did you play, and what were the table maxes?

I am repling to Screwed by Club Player.
I have a thread running elsewhere in this group but i was screwed at Dreams Casino when using a 10x max coupon.I won a random jackpot and ened up with $17,600 in my account.They told me they cant pay the jackpot but only 10x my deposit.They told me just to play out my account down to zero for comp points and I though nothing more of it and actually played over a periond of 2 weeks down to $14,000 balance.Yesterday I went and checked my account and they had paid out 25% x 10 = $250.00 to my neteller account but here is the worse.
They had taken the $14,000 out as well and my account is now at zero.
The T&Cs say so the manager said, once the withdrawal is complete any amount in the account above the 10x max cashout is taken from the players account.I was in shock LOL.
But apart from that I feel that VIP Lounge Casino with be honest and be fair.

Well apparently you are special because my cashout has been in reversible mode for 48 hours now.

Are these guys hard up or something? Geesh, it is such a small amount of money. I guess I'm not a VIP

 

[frufrugirl]

I finally played viplounge casino today- used their offer 200% signup bonus (I dont like bonuses so this was a leap of faith for me)cashed out at $300 off of a $25 deposit. Cleared playing War, (which i love playing so its just not a clear the bonus thing) played up to $500 then started a streak down so I stopped before it all disappeared! It was a $10 minimum (gulp)and a $50 max bet allowed game. Since its a weekend I wont know how fast they cash out. Ill let you all know.

 

[aussiekeith]

I made a deposit of $75.00 2 weeks ago and recieved $150.00 match bonus.
Made a withdrawal request today for $650 which will give me $500 after the $150 bonus has been taken out of my account.I still have $300.00 in my account to play with.I am quite happy and this casino I will be staying with and will be my main RTG Casino that I play at now.I have 18 comp points worth $18.00 that I have not cashed in yet. As there is no playthrough requirements with the comp points, it is even better. I got a confirmation email and should have my money in my neteller account within 48 hours.

 

[amatrine]

Re

I was going to make a deposit there , but they dont have central coin as an option and its the only ewallet my bank will accept. Owell

Amatrine

 

[aussiekeith]

Go to Live Help in the Casino and Talk to Chris as he is the Manager.
They maybe able to add Central Coin as an option.
They have options in the Cashier that you can talk to them direct about.
It would be worth a try anyway as Chris is a nice guy to talk with and I am sure He will try and help you out with deposit options.
Quote.

***************
I would at least give it a go as in my view they do have a great set up for an RTG Casino, The best that I have found to date for sure.
Almost all deposit coupons have max cash out with no restrictions.

If that dosnt work Amatrine, open a Neteller account, buy a gift visa at a grocery store and fill up your Neteller account with that. You can make a one time $10 purchase of an atm card with Neteller also so you can use it at a local atm to withdraw, or have a check sent to you. I havent done this yet but it was suggested by several senior members earlier in this section about 2-3weeks ago. Now that I have a stash I think IM going to go this route! It might be an option for you, banks are getting fidgity about ewallets now, mine will soon follow.

[sneakattack]

Reading the terms i found this contrary to what someone posted about max wins:
"Maximum Withdrawal: Maximum withdrawals are based on the amount of your deposit only.

NOTE: All bonuses, excluding VIP Chips, offered by the VIP Lounge Casino, including the 200% Signup Bonus, come with no maximum withdrawal. In special circumstances we may offer a bonus that does come with a maximum withdrawal, however. If that is the case, the bonus will specifically state that it has a maximum withdrawal attached to it. In the even that you do take a bonus that comes with a maximum withdrawal, that maximum withdrawal will be based on the amount of your deposit only. "

Suggesting that there are no max withdrawals unless explicitly mentioned. None of there bonues appear to have this in their terms.

 

[aussiekeith]

You have to read the T&Cs carefully as with all Casinos.
Personally I check with and will keep doing so, in live chat with Chris.
I did email him sometime ago and he sent me the terms, you also have to remember they have a system where you can claim back your losses for the previous month and recieve a percentage back, when you contact them via live help.I think the cash back chips come with a specified cashout limit, if you win.
Withdrawals also depend on your VIP level as to how much you can draw out per month.I do know that specified VIP Chips come with 10x max cash out.
Considering only a few of the chips are actually VIP then to me they have a great system.I know the monthly 100% match bonus come with a no max cash out but it does have a higher playthrough ( rollover ) as they call it, than the new user 200% bonus which is only 15x playthrough.I think the monthly match bonus has a 20x playthrough, however that to me is still quite fair.I have been recieving mails from other RTG Casinos in the last week and most of the coupons they have are 10x max cash out and 30x playthrough.
Connect to Casino with the special bonus 400% that they have for the new games is 50x playthrough for the deposit and bonus and cash out is just 2x the bonus amount. work that out, it is almost impossible to win.
2x the bonus in my calculations is less that 10x the deposit.
And to the other question posted in here, I agree that maybe Amatrine would be best to get a Neteller account or even a Click to Pay account as most casinos now use both of those systems as their prefered payment system.

re

Hi,

My bank does not take click2pay, and I had my neteller account closed
when It got hit with the keylogger. ( you can see that story on other complaints, and on the news interview I did here in the valley on it. )

I suppose I can try moneybookers, I never tried to add that one to my bank,
but they will probably deny that one too,lol

I have a good affiliate payment comming in next month from fortune affililates,
and I set it up ACH, I hope my bank does not deny that one too,lol

When I had neteller, they denied my ach winnings from there a few times, and had run it though a few times until my bank accepted it.

I never though about chatting and asking if they would take central coin.
I will give that a try At least the place I play at the most takes it.
I even tried Echeck and my bank denied it. Considering my credit union
is tied in with the schools, thats probably why,lol

Ama

 

[silcnlayc]

I had my neteller account closed
when It got hit with the keylogger.

I closed my Neteller also after getting hit and kept it closed for a week till I cleaned my hardrive and reinstalled everything. Then I proceeded to reopen Neteller with new code and password (called them direct to do this). Haven't had a problem since. Just a suggestion since you also had Neteller on reopening your Neteller.

2x the bonus in my calculations is less that 10x the deposit.

This place is way too complicated and the specific terms are hard to find. You need to go to live chat to find out what applies to your situation, which is just more hassle than I am willing to deal with.

I busted the initial deposit, then got a less then $20 no deposit bonus. The max cashout was a whopping 2XB (not even $40). The good thing was that all games were allowed. But still, 2x?

 

[amatrine]

Re

Thanks for the suggestion. I am going to pass though since they have no customer protection. I took a money loss, and they do not cover you
when your a victem. I should have read the fine print when I signed up. My husband read it after the fact and got mad at me for signing up for it first place,lol I had that account for years withoug a problem, but when you become a victem like that it scares the crap out you I tell ya! At least paypal offers some protection for ebay
transactions, allbiet limited in my opionion, and when selling high dollar items on ebay I now only take money order. I sold an item once for a few hundred dollars and they did a charge back. I was not proctected and lost the item and the money.

The virues are getting worse. I got the same virus three times this week searching the web. Of all things, I was looking at a page on the properties of garlic. Went in and BAM . Virus. It was a virus where a hacker hacks the page and places code in it. I tell you, a website about garlic hacked! Must have been a vampire,lol

Ama

Anyway, didnt mean to steer the thread in another direction here.

 

[frufrugirl]

Amatrine,Sorry I missed the part about the neteller!Its been awhile since I read the front part of this thread! No wonder you dont want Neteller back! You can load with the gift card on click2pay too as an fyi...
Hey, If they take credit cards you can just use it with the Casino, no? Im going to have to go back to that thread and check it out.

What a mess! Garlic and virus..scary combo! It is amazing how fast these computers can be attacked. My son wanted a webcam but I wouldnt get it because I couldnt trust him to remember to turn it off - there are hackers that invade and can actually view thru ur webcam! Creeped me out. I digress....good luck with funding your account..

 

[amatrine]

Re

Ewww that is creepy!!! Though once tht hacker saw me at 5:30 am,
they would think twice before peeping again,lol

I did not know they could do that.

On click to pay it wont let me withdrawl any money at all as my bank wont accept them, I have zero stars. Not sure how the card thing works there?
Wouldnt I still need stars to withdrawl to the card?

Owell, Im fine with central. Just sucks waiting for a check in the mail though.
But At least I have no money hanging around the account as you cant get your winnings put there.

With neteller my bank paid back those charges, but I lost what was in the neteller account too before charges were made to my bank and that of course was not paid back. Neteller also held hostage the money I got paid from affilaites after the incident. Its intersting that my account is closed but they can still take money from people to that account. I got a nice email saying you have money in your neteller account, but I cant get it,lol They kept it to pay for the the money
that was lost due to the hacker. Anwayay, old news now. I just steer clear.
Some affilate casinos only pay by neteller, so Im kind of SOL there, but I no longer own my website, but still generate income on the old sign ups. I changed over the ones I could.

Ama

 

[frufrugirl]

LOL If they saw me they would barf..but its viewing my son (he is 12 ) that worries me as the computer is in his room.
Click 2 pay..I had the star thingy to. I deposited via my bank..(you would have to deposit via a gift card..) then I had to call them cause I couldnt withdraw to the bank. They changed it to 2 stars so I could. I know they have atm cards also but they are pricy I think they are 40 bucks. If you withdraw alot that may not be a big deal to you but I rarely cash out so it is to me!

As a followup - took 4 business days as t&c said it might take. I emailed docs on 2nd day without them asking, hopefully now it will go a little faster, if not, so be it. Im happy.

 

[aussiekeith]

I am very happy with VIP Casino.I will be staying there for sure.
They have that monthly cash back on loses and the best promotions I have found at any RTG Casino.The first $500.00 I withdrew was in my Neteller Account 4 days after I applied for the money in the Casino Cashier.
They state 48 hours for withdrawals to be completed and 24 to 48 hours till it is in the account you choose for them to send the money to.
I got an email to say when the withdrawal had been approved and also when it was going to be sent. I have since made another withdrawal to Click To Pay and got an email today ( Sunday ) to say that withdrawal is approved and will be in my designated account within 48 hours. Not bad $500 x 2. $1000.00 from a $75.00 Deposit and I still have $400.00 in my Casino Account and 27 comp points that can be cashed in if I want to with no playthrough requirements.
I think this Casino will go a long way and hopefully some of the other RTG Casinos with the stupid 10x max cashouts and 30x playthroughs may have to wake up.However saying this, I wonder if VIP Casino can keep up with the generous promotions? To me they are very professional and provide excellent service to their Clients.
