PriceWaterhouseCoopers

[Simmo!]

Looking around today it seems most casinos have PWC touted on their sites as in "Payouts independently audited by...".

A very respected firm (over here at least) but is this the sign of a trustworthy casino would you say?

Simmo!

Oh the can of worms you just opened, you have no idea!

Oh come on JPM. Simmo you have no idea what kind of pond scum Price Waterhouse Coopers is. But a simple search of the Casino Meister archives will give you a very good idea. Have a good one.

The PWC logo is just a stamp bought by the casino to make it look more legitimate. For all intents and purposes it is meaningless.

Meaningless - nothing more than a rubber stamp of fictional figures on a sheaf of papers handed over by the casino, for which priviledge they pay a high price. Standard casino deceipt to suck in the mugs.

Uh-oh. I sense there's trouble-a-brewing...

Thanks guys and sorry.

Thread Closed ;-)

You sure have, Simmo - perhaps intentionally?

That's your right on a message board, and as you have seen here there are some posters who do not have a favourable opinion of PwC despite it's sound international reputation as an independent business services organisation of some significance. I suspect that that has something to do with the failed OCA project and the endless debates on the TGTR process which you will find in abundance in the archives here.

It is unlikely that opinions will change.

Hi Jetset: not intentional, honest. I only joined here about 2 months ago and i really should have searched back like Cipher suggested. I really should know better - guess my Avatar is quite a good representation fo me right now

No explanation necessary, Simmo - as I said it is your right to post whatever you wish within the rules laid down by our host here.

It seemed to me that the question was of a deliberately provocative nature designed to elicit exactly the response it received from some members here, who have in the past shown that they have strong if perhaps (i.m.o.)misguided views on this multi-national company.

Rather extreme example in Caruso's inimitable "style": "Meaningless - nothing more than a rubber stamp of fictional figures on a sheaf of papers handed over by the casino, for which priviledge they pay a high price. Standard casino deceipt to suck in the mugs."

That being the case, I felt it necessary to post a contrary view, because in my personal interaction at conferences with PwC officials I have been impressed by their professionalism and commitment - and it's my right to say so.

Rather than regurgitating extensive debates that have meandered on for weeks at a time here, I will instead recommend that you go to the archives and read the differing views on issues connected with PwC, eCOGRA and all these allegedly "crooked" casinos in order to reach your own conclusions.

I'll do just that Jetset

Now... Die Thread, Die!

(hmmm...does that come out as "The Thread, The" in your country CM )
