$117,248 Jackpot Poker win @ Pharaohs Casino

Maybe I can add something here, because I was actually the last player to win this jackpot.

On May 31, 2006, I hit it for $62.5K at Super Vegas Casino, the Boss Media licensee owned by Sportingbet. I withdrew all my winnings on June 1st by wire transfer, and you want to know how fast I got paid?

How about the next day.

My positive testimonial was later featured on Super Vegas' website. I was happy to do it because the way they handled everything was the way it should be: zero hassles and fast payment.

The fact is, most casinos are thrilled to have a player win a large jackpot because they get good public exposure (if handled right), while the winnings typically come out of a pool and not their own funds.

Instead, so far Pharoahs Casino has managed to squander this opportunity through its refusal to pay funds already in its possession. Pretty soon the message is going to be that any player would be wise to play progressive jackpots at Super Vegas rather than Pharoahs because you know you'll be paid fast.

Fantastic win Liquid! BEEEEEEautiful!!

Any big plans for the spending of such funds?

Good post, sdaddy - and belated congratulations on your own significant jackpot!

I wonder whether this delay is influenced in some way by the hint that Pharoahs is about to change to another software platform?

Thanks sdaddy. That confirms that it is at least possible for a lump sum payment to take place. Another belated congrats on the winnings!

Since my last post in this thread, Pharaohs have come back to me and offered to pay in two $59k installments. I've not been paid yet but the first wire transfer should be initiated tomorrow, with the second following as soon as my ID documents have been verified. I will update when i've got the money! All in all, it looks like a delay of just over two weeks between winning the jackpot and receiving the money, which is not as quick as i'd hoped but certainly not a disaster.

Many thanks to Pharaohs, Webdollar and the Casinomeister

Good to hear at least something is happening. Congratulations again on a win I could only dream of!

Glad to see that Pharaohs reversed its decision. I commend them on doing the right thing.

Congrats wioth your win, however it's damn sad that they have ruined atleast one week of your life now - loosing sleep frightened something should go wrong! And, we all know, this is not the first time. Why the heck can�t the casinoes be fair and pay their customers who are lucky to win!

I'm looking forward seeing you get paid!

Here is my advise, take 1/2 the wininngs and pay any dept you might have at once! Be nice to your family (unless they expect you to be), get yourself some nice stuff - get a plasma TV, XBOX360 and PS3 - get all that shit! And try stay away from online gambling for atleast 2 month! If you can't do that, atleast don't spend a dime untill fully paid!

Take care!
