Rome Casino - Analysis

[RobWin]

Well for one thing Winbig if the costs are too much the Business can't make money and goes out of business.


Quicktender was started by the big casino software providers... Which, I am sure, look at RomeCasino as an up and coming competitor, that runs on a different software platform...

Unless your casino's software provider is one of the ones involved with QT, using QT is NOT an option.

Rome has targeted the US market and I would be willing to bet the vast majority of their customers are US residents. So the cost inside the US market effects them a great deal, I'm sure.

I would expect that Rome is extremely concerned with slow payouts and high cost of transactions inside the US and that they are working very hard to reduce both.

I don't currently promote Rome.

That's the thing though, QT IS a deposit and withdrawal option at Rome Casino, so since it is and the player in the US uses this option to both deposit and withdraw with, then the fact of the statement made by Josh regarding the "US Market" is a moot point.

Hey guys,

I am limited in my choice of online casinos because of the country I happen to reside in, and I have been burned by a couple of casinos that adverstised acceptance of players from my country. For me, an online casino that adheres to its terms and conditions and provides fair games is a blessing, and Rome Casino has proven to be so.

As for only being allowed to withdraw on Mondays: This is not a big deal to me because Rome Casino actually processes the withdrawals on Modays like they say they will (I remember Cirrus Casino advertising quicker withdrawals but then disappearing off the face of the earth when you request them).

Anyway, Rome Casino has treated me very good so far. Their rep answered PM's and I was even able to use CC's for deposits so I think I will stick with them. Again, I only play Blackjack so I am ignorant of the slot issues.

Good Luck,

And your point is?

It is NOT acceptable for a casino to hold money hostage for a week.

A few days ago I had a casino rep tell me how much they are being charged by their payment processing company for every US transaction... It is truly out of this world... It is a real wonder how any online casino can afford to continue to do business inside the USA.
(Note to self "see if any US payment processors are publicly traded companies... I'll buy some stock... Their profit has to sky high.")

I don't think the non-us folks truly understand what is going on here in the USA with payments.

On the face of it, it does sound ridiculous that they are only processing payments once a week.

However, once you take a hard look at what is going on inside US online gambling payment system, the once a week payment processing sounds perdy good at least it does to me...

This is so, and affects EVERY casino that still transacts with US players, however it does not explain how it is somehow cheaper to process all the withdrawals on a Monday, or a few each day of the week, surely the cost is the same.

US players probably WILL accept this, since they are already used to waiting weeks for their funds to arrive, however, non-US players will NOT accept this as the "norm", which leaves Rome Casino highly vulnerable to a sudden loss of their US player base. This kind of overnight loss HAS happened before, and is usually due to a "dawn raid" attack on some part of the operation by the US DoJ. If this happened to Rome Casino, it will suddenly stop receiving US player deposits, and will also be tied up with a big mess of loudly complaining US players who are not getting paid - they will all notice, and all at once, one Tuesday - with all the sh1t hitting the fan in one go.
There will still be staff to pay, and running costs to cover, but little in the way of a player base outside of the US to keep the cash flowing.

This business of Monday only withdrawals keeps reminding me of Winward casino, and thus there is a subconcious connection between such oddly restrictive withdrawal rules and "rogue" operations.

While US players put up with it now, how many have believed this merely to be a temporary measure put in place for a growing new casino; now it is looking like Monday only withdrawals was always intended as a permanent feature, and for those US players using QT as an option, for how long are they prepared to put up with this 7 day lag when they want their money out fast, so they can play again.

US players probably WILL accept this,

VWM, not all US players...I refuse to play anywhere it takes longer than 48 hours because I can drive to a B&M in 4 hours and have instant access to my winnings.. and a free room, food and show all to boot..

for those US players using QT as an option, for how long are they prepared to put up with this 7 day lag when they want their money out fast, so they can play again.

That is a very good question and I would love to see how many actually play at a casino paying out only once a week from the USA and wait that long for payment when we have other choices in faster payouts in casinos..I can't imagine for the life of me why anyone would wait 7 days for a payout..and that is only my opinion..and my choice not to play at any casino that refuses to pay out in a timely manner...

Well, Rome casino seem to have "thousands" of players whom are perfectly happy with the current set-up, and this is the reason the rep posted that they are NOT going to budge on this.
This seems to be saying that if the customers accept poor service, they might as well keep on dishing out the same levels of service - after all, if they make a profit all is well. It seems many businesses take this for granted, however I believe that US citizens do NOT tolerate the same poor levels of service that us Brits put up with, so it is all the more surprising that "thousands" are happily putting up with Monday only withdrawals, and with the further risk of a COMPLETELY RANDOM "fraud check" that means they have to wait 14 days, not 7 days - when there is no reason at all why the checks could not be done during the rest of the week, so that they might be completed in time for the coming Monday. All it takes are a couple of minor errors and players could have withdrawals pending for 21 days, 28 days, maybe longer, and this is more than enough for a player, US included, to believe they are being stiched up.

I love it when you give me a chance to dredge up this old poll:

I feel the same way that the US players are being treated as dumb bunnies when offered these terms from any casino...but the dollar is mightier than the casino and when the crunch comes, I know which casino will be bit badly in the end...

Excellent Simmo!! Thanks for the link! I think I missed that thread...maybe some casino reps need to glance through this list and see how most of the players voted..it might open up their eyes, change their minds and end up increasing their business..

Topgame will soon have an official website with the relevant facts but rest assured that they are as serious as the other big guns. It's a serious operation going to offer a great dynamic product with service to match. Much work to do but getting there!!

I'm still looking for an official website and more information on Top Game software.
