The CLASS 1 CASINO is owned and operated by NAG Holding N.V., a registered company located in Curacao.

i did a google search for class1 casino and NAG Holdings N.V didnt get any hits for them

ahh it suddenly becomes very clear, sent them an email enquiring about it and got this reply,

Thank you for contacting Class 1 Casino Support.

I would like to inform you that Maxima Casino is no longer operating, therefor you are kindly invited to join our new Class 1 Casino, with the same support team and even better treatment. All you are required to do is just to click on the Maxima Casino icon and it will be automatically updated, so you will have an opportunity to experience a first class treatment right away.

Kindest regards,

Natasha Miller,

Class 1 Casino support team

still wont be depositing there

Thanks for the update.

It looks as if Maxima may have morphed into this new operation (or was perhapsmay just discontinued) due to a change of ownership - Maxima was previously owned by an outfit called Amixam BV.

It's still using Playtech software, and its poker is on the iPoker network.

I can see that the wall st. jackpot is actually gone .. restarted today.
Now, if this player is not getting paid, where will the money go ? The players money, I might add !
The casino in question, or Playtech ?
If there's a dispute, and the player is not getting paid, for whatever fair, or unfair reason, they should at least put the jackpot back online, to be won by another player, and certainly not just pocket it !

[tonymorritt]

they say that the money is now void.. but like you say why cant they put it back online i think its gone to the casino and if i was to argue over it of which i did. if it would have gone any further i would have walked away with nothing so to say i never put anything down i got a good return for my nothiny stake well £2020 the rest will now be paying the rent or some sort at casino 1 never mind.................

[casinopotato]

I'd definitely stay away from any casino that you have a difficult time in reaching their support.

I do believe most reputable casinos will put the jackpot back. I know Inetbet does.

Maxima was notorious for this, as well if anyone remembers emails stating that Maxima was going bankrupt, their reasoning was a disgruntled employee got ahold of the player database and was sending these out, Maxima also had a bunch of non pay complaints for reasons of bonus abuse and crazy bullshit bonus terms....STAY AWAY!!! Things dont seem to have a changed much.
