Reasons for Blacklisting

My blacklist is a place for the most unethical of Internet casinos. Reasons for inclusion on the blacklist include:

Game results are not consistent with a random game.
I expect all casinos to offer a fair game as evidenced by the fact that the cards or dice observed fall in line with statistical norms.

Non-payment of legitimate gambling winnings.
Granted the word “legitimate” is rather vague. I would prefer to say “any” gambling winnings, but many online casinos have a policy to not honor winnings in the case of extremely aggressive bonus abuse. While I strongly feel that casinos should honor their own rules, I want this list to consist of casinos that are significantly worse than the industry norm. Seizing deposits, or prior gambling winnings to the current withdrawal, are not acceptable, and justify blacklisting.

Non-payment of affiliate royalties.
Internet casinos typically pay advertisers according to how many players they deliver or how much those players lose. It is not unusual for untrustworthy casinos to short-pay their affiliates, either by changing the commission formula retroactively in their own favor, or simply to stop paying without explanation. Either way, a casino that can not be trusted to pay their advertising debts also can not be trusted to pay winning players, in my opinion.

Stealing web site content (typically mine).
The Blacklist

Here is the Blacklist, starting with the most recently added.

EasyStreetSports.com — Added Apr. 25, 2011

Added for failure to pay a winning video poker player and the feeble excuses not to. For the whole story, please see my page on the Easy Street Sports vs. Cory1111 dispute.

Even though the casino should pay you in THIS case, it is kinda ironic that you have done practically the same thing in reverse by doing chargebacks.

Maybe now you can see why casinos hate chargebacks.

Sorry, but I have no sympathy for serial chargebackers when they run into trouble.

For what it's worth Cory has been banned at over 20 sportsbooks for doing chargebacks (allegedly). He has never denied doing chargebacks either. (admitted to doing "Some" to another forum)

Also while forums were working with the book Cory felt the need to insult the book, it's customers, it's owners, managers and so on. BEFORE any ruling took place. So unfortunately he gave the book little incentive to pay at that point.

While I don't ever agree with confiscations or a book stiffing a player, I think this is an example of why more players should just file a dispute... let the forum do their investigation and avoid posting while that takes place. He now spams every forum with the same posts 5+ times a day in hopes that it will somehow lead to him getting paid.

The book is based in Costa Rica and at this point just does not want to pay him. Unfortunate but living in the U.S. where online gambling is unregulated puts players in this potential position.

Also numerous untruthful items were posted from both sides. Cory claimed to deposit 10k... in actuality it was 2250.00. Cory's first deposit by MG was not able to be picked up (according to the book). Cory also allegedly went to the FBI because of a death threat he received.

Moral of the story... Costa Rican books are operated where no government involvement exists and anyone can start a book. If you post before a credible forum can complete an investigation it is playing with fire. From years on CM I have seen posters get screwed and other posters screw themselves. Nothing is worse than winning a large sum of money and having it taken away.. however if you are a honest gambler with a clean history or clean path then you truly give the book no ammunition. Chargebacks hurt books, hurt the industry and shut down processors.. all of those ultimately affect the players.

The odd thing is that the chargeback issue, and the fact that 20 books have already banned him for this, was a valid reason to investigate him, and to give the book cause for concern that they could be 21st in line to suffer chargebacks. Yet despite this, they didn't mention this at all in their reasons for non-payment, but instead started telling fairytales about fast play "overwhelming the RNG" and other items of similar complete bollocks.

Had they refused to pay because of the 20 chargebacks, they would have a fair bit of sympathy from the rest of us, but now it looks like they were just looking around for reasons not to pay, rather than because they had actually FOUND one that prompted this decision.

VWM -

I agree. This is just a case where the book does not want to pay the player. It's not necessarily right or fair. I just think before Cory tries to make himself seem like such a big victim people understand the type of player he has been at other places... someone who takes shots. In this case clearly the book is at fault.

I have played here and my experience was not negative. I just feel as a whole people should learn to try to resist as much as possible posting negative information about a book/casino while an investigation is pending. Especially "This book has stolen from me" prior to any ruling. Obviously Rogue casinos or sportsbooks pay players small amounts fairly easily and when it comes to larger amounts it is always a pain in the ass.

I feel Cory should get paid something but I don't see it happening at this point. Really us Americans just need online gaming legalized here so we can play with more reputable places. Anytime I send a western union to a place in costa rica I am not sure if I will ever see that money again or any winnings in general.

f. the player used a bot in order to play the hands fast enough to overwhelm the RNG, thus providing favorable odds to the player

That is the best part of their findings. It shows how credible the investigators are.
