Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Below is a copy and paste from a post I wrote at the forum where I "work" ...

What do they say about things that sound too good to be true?

I've spent most of the night investigating. In a Live Chat, the Customer Service rep recommended that I use something called "XL-Pay," which seems to be very similar to PayPal.

Well, one of the things that XL-Pay advertises is that you can "Start Your Own Casino!" They also advertise that iX Casino is one of the places that use their software. I looked into it and it redirects a person to the site http://www.start-your-casino.com/.

At this site, it talks about the ease of setting up your own casino. However, I find this little tidbit in their FAQ section ...

Q. How are the profit and maximum winning coefficient calculated?
A. The maximum payout coefficient is based on the current profit state. It's using only the wagered amounts in all calculations. For example users have lost $4000, and have won $1200, current profit is $2800 the payout coefficient is 80% or $2240 � the maximum a user can win is $2240.

I've bolded the most important part, I feel. "The maximum a user can win is $2240"? That sure sounds like software that a casino can tweak to make sure you don't win like you might with fair and random software.

So glad I spent the time tonight digging into this ... see ya, iX Casino!

Yeah, I saw that as well, Sodax. The 21 symbol is a dead giveaway.

I started looking at them because they were offering a bonus of 100% up to $200 with only a 1X wagering requirement.

The customer service rep confirmed the wagering requirement, but only because he's "just a support assistant."

McGyver, the Sept. 17th article from InfoPowa reads::

posted Sept, 17, 2004 in infopowa

Profits to order: Looking over iX Casino.com we were intrigued to see no-download software by XL Corp. We made a few enquiries which unearthed a positive labyrinthe of registrations and sites embracing the UK, France and Italy using Yahoo mails. On one of these sites was the intriguing if startling claim Quote: * OUR PROPRIETARY RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR IS CALCULATING YOUR PROFIT BEFORE THE WINNING/LOOSING NUMBER IS SENT BACK TO THE GAME. YOU CAN SET A MINIMUM PROFIT THAT IS ALWAYS KEPT FOR YOU! THIS ALSO ENSURES THAT YOU WILL NOT WAKE UP WITH $20000 DEBTS!Unquote. The suggestion that win/lose rates could be set on this casino product seems to be confirmed at http://www.xlpay.com/casino/casino/admin/?a=settings together with site copy such as Quote: The software is very good, with great control over the profit/winnings. It has the ability to change the winning % per game/table in real-time. Also you can withdraw the profit and limit player's winnings. Games are completely random, if the winning is within the limit. If the bet is causing winning over the set limit, the generator is generating another number until the winning is within the limit (or player loses).Unquote. Joker-Club.com seems to use this software, too and there may be others.
