    Same Casino under 3 different skins?

    I noticed I log into the following under the same username:

    Casino33
    Riverboat
    Playfair

    I initially thought they were three separate casinos, but noticed the progressives are at the same amounts. Interesting concept. So what's the point...just marketing? I'm thinking you'll get the same play at that time, no matter which casino you play.

    That doesn't mean that they're the same casino (I'm not saying they're not, but it's possible). For instance, RTG progressives such as Jackpot Pinatas and others are the same in all RTG casinos..
    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. ...

    Not necessarily.
    The Jackpots may well be linked, but I would think the individual slots in each casino could still be set to different RPTs, especially in the light of what CasinoJack (the manager of all three) said in recent threads.

    Yes, the three casinos work under the same umbrella and share the same database. Therefore if you have an account at one you can automatically use that at the others.

    We have the three for marketing purposes but the customer service is the same for all three.

    Please note multiple accounts are not allowed and may cause your other accounts to be banned by the system. We can make exceptions, but initial deposits bonuses are limited to one per person not one per account.

    You would be incorrect in thinking that, the RTP is the same across all three.

    This is a MASSIVE problem. It leads to untold confusion among players. THEY will, quite rightly, see these as three separate casinos, and have no idea they are one, but with 3 different skins.

    The problem is compounded because you would lack tight control over how third parties market these separate skins. They may be presented to prospective players as separate casinos, this could be through affiliate sites, or through spam.

    It is similar to a player who receives marketing for iNetBet, and then for Club World. They will see different webpages, content, promotions, etc, and assume these are two different casinos - in this case they would be correct.

    The FIRST these players will know about it is when they have winnings confiscated, or accounts locked. They will then feel you have led them into a trap using deceptive tactics, and they will consider you no better than the average rogue RTG outfit.

    Here is an example. The OP thought these were separate, but THEN happened to notice unnatural similarities between the three, and found that they could use the same login at all three.

    The point is that this was AFTER they had been playing, whereas players need to know this BEFORE they start signing up & making deposits, otherwise they risk having their winnings confiscated.

    If the OP didn't notice, then this connection is buried too deeply in the terms.

    If a player creates a second account they do not risk losing their winnings. They will not be allowed a second initial deposit bonus that is all, the same goes for free chips. The system has anti fraud safeguards built in, one of which is to compare all players against all others and ban them if they are too similiar. Creating a second account will often casue this to happen. That is why we recommend using the same account at all three casinos.

    The system will not allow a player to use the same e-mail twice so when signing up they will be told that e-mail already exists in the database.

    We can and do make exceptions, for instance for people living in the same house who both want to have accounts. If in doubt contact customer service, they will always be happy to help you. You can of course PM me as well.

    Well, this is better. It's not JUST email addresses though, some players use different email addresses for different casinos so that they can see who is selling them out to spammers. Checks on name and address as well as email address, with "contact support" if any one of these delivers a match, should protect against innocent players getting an extra bonus.

    The fact that the same login is used in all three skins should be more prominent, since this is rather unusual, and is a recent development in many softwares, often leading to confusion among players.

    The rogues have a history of misusing rules such as this to deliberately confuse players, so that an excuse to confiscate winnings can be created.

    Crystal Palace group, for example, would quietly lock a long unused account of a player, promote other skins to them, but if they ever won would void it because they "had a locked account at a sister casino".

    Sadly, players remember these things, and are suspicious of anything "unusual" in the way a new casino seems to operate, fearing a trap.

    I have accounts at all 3 casinos. You cannot claim the sub at more than one casino but if you go to live chat and ask you get something similar at the next 2 casinos you join. However, I hope that the home page for these 3 sites especially the one for Playfair can be updated. Any new player who visits the sites wont be impressed as the info is woefully outdated.

    Just wondering how you could have logged into all 3 casinos when you didnt register at the 2nd and 3rd casinos. They would have rejected your registration if the username were the same.
