    Grand Prive (Big Dollar Casino)

    Anyone know why BigDollar Casino is not on the Grand Prive list as a rougue casino?..After all, it is part of the Grand Prive group isn't it?

    I just wondered

    Big Dollar split off from the Grand Prive Group long ago. It hasn't offered an affiliate program in it's stand alone status.

    Oh OK...It's just in their T & C's (for promotions) it says >> The cash-in pending period at all GrandPrive.com casinos is 48 hours. and >> Progressive Jackpot wins will be paid out as quickly and in as big a segments as GrandPrive.com’s processing partners allow.

    Does this just mean they haven't bothered changing their T & C's ?

    When I asked in a chat session if they were part of GP, they replied no. Explained that they share some administration like customer service and payment processors. I still play there, no luck at all in months though.

    There has been this long standing conspiracy theory that they are not as separate as they claim.

    ...... and this kind of lax carelessness does not help. Players see this, and think WTF, as far as they were concerned they are playing a stand alone casino, but suddenly worry if any "sins" at Grand Prive will be used against them while playing at Big Dollar.

    Since Big Dollar didn't have an affiliate scheme, or the same one at least, they were not involved in the sins comitted by Grand Prive (abrupt and unilateral reneging on affiliate "lifetime" deals for referred players), which is why they were rogued, and thus Big Dollar does not get dragged into the mess, and the rogue pit.

    I know nothing about affiliate programs, but I do know that as of this past August Big Dollar and Grand Prive are linked. I was told (while I was getting the run-a-round by Big Dollar) that they use the same payment processor and customer service. They would never confirm or deny (even tho I asked several times) if they were part of Grand Prive. It was interesting because I cashed out at Big Dollar and Bella Vegas within the same week. Bella paid within 5 days. Big Dollar paid me after 6 weeks and one returned check. Adding insult to injury, Big Dollar charged me for the wire transfer that replaced the bad check they sent me. By the time I got my money I was just happy I got it all.

    In my opinion Big dollar is a part of Grand Prive. About a month ago all Grand Prive casinos changed their bonus terms. And guess what? Big dollar changed it too, exactly the same way.

    Operators: If you don't know what Transparency means, then here you go.....now how about practicing it?

    Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. ...
