    I can attest to John's statement on the upgrading of accounts. Mine was upgraded and I received more bonuses. A couple of days ago, after making 2 deposits and losing them all, they sent me a promotion stating that there will be 25% bonuses on deposits thereafter. I replied saying "Boo, couldnt this have come a couple of hours earlier'. Now, Bang they replied that they were giving me the bonus retrospectively. It's only a few bucks but it's the thought that counts. Most other casinos would have ignored my e-mail or simply told me that I will have the bonus on my next deposit (stating the obvious).

    Well done, John and co.

    My experiences at all the Rivals were generally very good. Excellent play time and enjoyment, just the whole withdrawal / flushing issue and the invite to an e-wallet that never came. I was actually able to reverse some withdrawals 10 days after cashing out... that would certainly extend an ach payment quite a bit. However, my need to take a break would have occurred no matter where i was playing. On retrospect, i really should have stuck with Thisisvegas and 3dice because of John's and Enzo's contributions here. I think there is a comfort level in knowing the big guys are here in the trenches.

    Now for the important stuff :

    Apparently, me wanting to get off the computer was not as important as my daughter wanting to get on it to watch this over and over.... for 20 minutes! I cannot get this song out of my head now, lol. You guys will curse me for getting it stuck in your head too, lol!

    Well I can make you a VIP at Rival but I don't exactly want to put my foot in my mouth. If you are taking a break because of the lack of flushing features then I can make a judgement call to upgrade your account. If you are taking a break to get away from casinos and do a few more things in life then I would rather have your account closed. This thread gave me an idea that I sent to Rival which is every so often the software could suggest the player take a break, similar to Nintendo wii showing an image of the wii controller on the table with the window open to take a break.

    Thanks a bunch for your PM John. I will certainly be taking a break for a little while (i expect my friends here to keep me honest and slot free for at least a couple of months ) until i can wean myself to become a more recreational player like i used to be. I will only have accounts at Thisisvegas and 3dice for obvious reasons. And like i said in my pm, John, i think we all appreciate your continued support of our community. Very nice of you to show your concern and support.

    p.s. apparently the song that's stuck in my head was extremely popular and there are versions in many, many languages.... even opera like. Check it out, it's funny. Have a great weekend everyone!!!

    Hi hippo its the toughest break in the world enjoy!

    And babs is right 3dice offer some great tourny action i allways end up there when i am on a break too my broke@break.

    I have had a nightmare past 4 weeks before then i was doing great betting minimun bets and having fun instead off all them kamikaze higher bets, a new stratagy came up and it worked for me to a point then i pushed it too hard and didnt stick to the strat and you know the rest.

    But i am doing good now with no deposits since, I won $44 at canbet on a nd and i won couple off tournys at 3dice and now i have ran that up to $360, I just cashed out $70 so i can get back on the vip tourns at 3 dice as my month ran out the other day also $20 for the micro tourn rebuys.

    Ok back to the flushes and vip treatment i too got a email from sloto cash which upgraded my account to vip gold here is the email there was also a few more good points to the vip account have a read, here is the email that was sent to me.

    Welcome to "Club Sloto" VIP Gold!

    I didn't realize fees are higher when processing flushed withdrawals. Or did you mean if you allow flushing less people will actually go through with their withdrawals (reversing it), thus saving you the processing fees? Just curious.

    In general, it's easy to answer this...

    If they do not flush your withdrawal, it will stay there for a day or 2 then only gets to them for processing. At the day or 2 you can reverse it, which most people do.

    The reason why he says it's fees is higher is because if he flushed it and they process it immediately, they will have a cost there and at the mean time, a lot of people actually do redeposit some money again which is another cost to them. Thus the reason why he said the fees are higher. That's the general idea of the entire concept.
    You win some, you lose some... nobody can win it all.
