Has online gaming really gone as bad as it seems??

[tim5ny]

Been away from online gaming for about 6 or 8 months.. and away from the forums also. What I notice now when I read the forums here and elsewhere is an increase in postings claiming no pays and cheating software. Nowhere have I read any posts from players having a good day and winning anything significant. No longer do I see any playtech casinos in the reputable casino list. What's been going on?? A year ago, it seemed like people were posting screenshots of nice wins and praising certain casinos for fair play and fast pays. Can't say that I'm seeing much of that as I read the recent posts. Have things really gone down and dirty that much in a year??

Well according to most of the regulars here..all casinos are cheats and thieves who mani pulate their software...nothing to do with them losing of course..oh yeah, and they all do voluntary work out of a sense of honour and fairplay to the players ..the same ones they willingly send to their financial gambling death ( of which they get 35% LOL)

Muahahahahahahaaa

That's the impression I get on some forums lately! ( not just this one) The black-jack players are all claiming that the software is rigged... and the slot players are all losing... and the occassional winner has problems getting paid.

Win or lose

i guess thats why its called gambling

But yes you can mess with the odds it just a matter of hitting a few buttons but if its a reputable casino i dont see that happening

Maybe that's what they mean by "Misery loves company"?

For the billionth time, Bethug - no-one hates you when you win, at worst they're completely indifferent. They only dislike you for encouraging people to lose money by claiming the casinos can be beaten by a crude progressive betting system.

Hey tim5ny,

And welcome back. As an observer and participant in this industry for the past six years plus, I can honestly say that no matter what - there will always be issues. Further, players will tend to voice their complaints much more often then voicing their kudos and hurrahs. But there are the occassional threads which champion the winners such as here http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...&page=22&pp=10
Believe it or not, people are winning, and people are really enjoying themselves.

There will always be the underbelly of the beast, and there will always be problematic and/or surprising issues. Take Playtech for instance; they would rather threaten me with legal action then answer several questions that I made public last spring. Anyone could have asked these questions, but I chose to do so. As a result, they made it clear that they reserve the right to not answer my questions - and I reserve the right not to endorse any operation that they are involved in. Thus their removal from the reputable section.

And there have been a number of positive developments concerning player issues; eCOGRA for one, RGT's Montana dispute process for another. So in short, we ain't goin' to hell in a hand-basket, at least not yet. The industry really isn't as bad as it seems.

Thanks for the replys. I guess Playtech is out for me. If they don't respect the Meister.. then who would I turn to if I were to have a problem? Bethug... I believe you when you say that you win.... not because of any system... but rather because the fact that I've read many of your posts.. and you seem to have a handle on knowing when to stop and cash in before greed takes over. That's a quality to be admired. Thanks for the warm welcome Meister! I haven't played very much online since 32red casino eliminated U.S. players. The customer support and ethics that they showed me as a player are something that I've not seen elsewhere yet. Not to mention that I had many lucky sessions playing their slots and VP. Ed Ware... who is the top dog at 32red, has time for the player. He's very approachable. By the way... I was going to post a screenshot a few weeks back.. but the file was too large. Could anyone tell me how thay change the format to something that takes up less space? Thanks guys! Please post your winning screenies. It's nice to see the positive side of gambling too.

I'm sorry you have to see a negative side once again, but I have to ask what is the Montana dispute process exactly? Since I have $1700 in disappeared Delano I'm very interested to learn more about Montana. I have already filled their form linked by casinomeister but don't know anything about them. Have I any hope to see my money again? If I get them someday, I'll make sure I post some positive news
