cashing in...need help please

[wanda5]

Hi Guys,
I am getting really freaked out because we have been playing at Jackpot City The Gaming Club & other Bella Rock Casinos on and off for over 3 years and have never had a problem with them until now. We have cashed out 4 times since November and now we have 3 more cashouts being processed. We moved and put our change of address where it asks on the page and the first check never got to us because I screwed up on one number when I changed our address on thier web page.
It was no big deal, they just asked us to provide a bill and drivers liscense (for the first cashout check) & then it came to us just fine. On the next cashout, they then had the wrong address again, as if it were never changed the first time, so again we sent them the info and got that one and the next two just fine.
BUT now we cashed out again on the 23rd of Dec. and since we had not recieved anything about it, we emailed them asking what the deal was and by then we had two cashins total, they then sent us ANOTHER email saying they need that same information again! SO again we provided it to them and my husband wrote also that they please fix whatever keeps causing this to happen. We got an email that said they recieved our info & it all looked fine and will let us know when its processed. Again, we never heard back from them. So today my husband called them and now they are telling us that they need proof of a BILL from WAY BACK when we first signed up with them at our original address from 3 years ago! We have moved 3 times in the last 3 years and have always provided them with all of our information & proof. This is just sounding too freaky. I went through old boxes and FINALLY found some things with that address but damn, as much money as we spend in thier casinos, I am just stunned that they are putting us through this BS. We got lucky with winnings for the last few months, but trust me, we are no where close to breaking even lol
Can you guys just tell me if this sounds like they are giving us the runaround because we recently started winning some money back? The account is in my husbands name so they wont talk to me and I am afraid my husband is not asking the right questions.
They said there has been a lot of fraud going on, but we have consistantly played there and informed them of any changes. I dont know why someone would sign up as someone else who already has an account anyway...that seems rediculous. I mean if we were brand new to the casino I could understand it, but jeeze over 3 years and now this?
Can anyone set my mind at ease, and tell me if this sounds normal, we have a $379, $900 & now $500 cashin so the total is $1779 that we are waiting for and its not a lot of money so I just dont get all of this.
It seems like they would have good customer service for people who spend a lot, but they just seem so unorganized.
What sucks is that they are the only casino company that I have really learned to trust and feel like they have fair payouts & the cash ins that we did get, came VERY fast after the initial BS.
Hopefully I am just being paranoid, but I really dont want to stop playing there.
Thanks
Wanda

Wanda, I know just what you mean about Jackpot City. When they were on their own, they were the best with fast payouts, etc. However, now that they are with the mothership "Belle Rock" it seems as though you must jump through hoops to get your cash. If I were you this is what I would do. Try and get together information which proves where you lived in the past 3 years. I think you said you moved three times, so I would get a bill from each of these addresses, approximate the time that you lived there, and that should take care of the address part of the problem. In addition, send another copy of your hubby's drivers license, and any other info they may be requesting, i.e. copy of credit cards, etc. Put this nice package together and either fax it or scan it to them, but first get the name of a Manager that you can send it to personally. Ask the manager to kindly assure you that your information is legible, and ask him/her to send you an email stating this. Also, once you receive the email from the Manager assuring you that all is well with your copies, keep this email in a folder, and if necessary forward a copy to the financial dept of Belle Rock and ask them to please process your withdrawals. I know this sounds like a pain in the butt, however, it should work and you will never have any trouble again with JP City and you can start enjoying playing there again with confidence that your payouts are safe.
I hope this is of some help.

It's good to hear from the both of you. In this particular situation I think I'd get in touch with Bryan. He's got to have better connections with the upper management of Jackpot City than anyone else on the planet and I can't imagine it would take anymore than one phone call to get this done once and for all. Afterall it's not uncommon for people to move.

Secondly Wanda, if you're not already, I'd be doing these deposits and cash-ins with Neteller. Have a good one.

I forgot I posted this! HI AND THANKS CIPHER AND LINDA!! Hope yall are winning!
I just typed this long post and hit something and lost it darnit ! so quickly, I will say I LOVE Jackpot City and the Gaming club again!
Just before we got our last check from them we recieved and email explaining that they were no longer using proc-cybers services, so I am going to assume, it was probably proc-cybers fault. Those of you who know me here KNOW how much I HATE proc-cyber...so good riddens!!!!
I am so happy now! Everything is great and we are having fun and no problems with them whatsoever!
What a relief!
Linda you may want to give them another go. Before this happened we got our checks in a flash and my husband just told me we got another one that was processed on tuesday and got to us via courior on thursday!
Best of luck all!
Thanks a bunch!
Wanda

Just after posting how much I loved these guys...customer service proves once again to be lacking and here are the emails back and forth so you can see what a joke they are. I am so sorry to have raved about them. And thought I better let you in on what happened. I tried to shorten the irrelevent parts so you can kind of breeze through it...

Dear Kyle,

As a valued player at Belle Rock Gaming, you can expect to
always get the best. We are continually striving to bring
you the highest quality gaming experience possible.

In saying that, if we've ever disappointed you, we would
like to know all about your experience so that we can

NEXT EMAIL SENT TO ME:

Dear Kyle Doty
Thank you for submitting your claim for the
bonus offer at Belle Rock Gaming. Your claim
is currently being processed (this could take
up to 24 hours).

FEW HOURS LATER THIS CAME:

Dear Kyle Doty

Thank you for claiming your Bonus Credits at
Belle Rock Gaming.

Unfortunately, your claim was denied because
of the following reason(s):

The account number that you submitted, 'tjcxxxxxxxxr', does not exist
in the list of valid applicants.

If you have any queries, please contact our 24/7
support team on the e-mail address or toll-free
numbers below.

MY RESPONSE


Please tell me why my account with JackPot city does not apply to this bonus. Once again, here is my account number that I am trying to claim my bonus for:
JACKPOY CITY: tjcxxxxxxxxr

Thanks,
Kyle Doty




Thank you for emailing Belle Rock Gaming's Online Casinos.

Your details for the 150 chip offer was submitted using your Gaming Club Casino account number and will be reviewed shortly. Please allow at least 24 hours for this to be credited to your casino account as the process is fully automated.

We trust this information has been of assistance and look forward to hearing from you soon. Should you require any further assistance, feel free to contact us. For your convenience, we have a toll free helpdesk available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.



MY RESPONSE:
Please forward to a manager...
You ask me if you have disappointed me? Well, with every (loyalty) bonus offer you send me, I make my deposit, put the promo code in along with the other info and you then send me and email stating that I AM NOT ELIGABLE only for me to email you back with the email that DID in fact make the SPECIFIC offer to ME. Then at your own convenience someone LATER writes me back letting me know I have then been credited.
I dont know why I go through this each time, and its the same with my cash ins. OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. I have been a customer of your casino for over 3 years, spent thousands and thousands of dollars with you. Yet there is always a problem. And with every problem I recieve an automated response that just seems to delay everything.
AND what urks me the most is that at the casinomeister forum, I had just given you RAVE reviews, but did say that your customer service is lacking.
From now on if you want my business I want a managers response. I spend way too much money to go through this and expect to be treated as the loyal & honest customer I have been. The following is a copy of the email WITH the promo as well as a copy of the one rejecting me AFTER I already made my deposit.
Kyle Doty

Ok, please let this be the last time I have to mess with this.
I made a deposit of $150.00 into my JACKPOT CITY account. Here is my account number for
jackpot city: tjcxxxxxxxr (NOT THE GAMING CLUB! MY JACKPOT CITY ACCOUNT NUMBER STARTS WITH TJC NOT TGC)
After I made my claim for the bonus (deposit $100 and get $150) and used my jackpot city account number (since this is where I made my deposit).

I then get an e-mail saying that my account number is not a valid casino for this promotion. We know this is not true, since JackPot City is one of your casinos. I then had to e-mail Belle Rock back and tell them they are wrong and to fix it. Now I get an e-mail saying that I used my Gaming Club account to deposit and get the bonus and that I might have to wait 24 hours (another 24 hours) before it's processed.

This is the 4th time after making deposits and claiming a bonus that I get a response saying that my account is not a valid casino. Each time I have to write back to you and tell you this is a valid account and after several hours, (OR DAYS) I get an e-mail saying that bonus has been approved.

I just want this fixed and never want this to happen again. I should have already had my bonus in my account and playing...instead I am having to write my 3rd letter within 24 hours trying to get this fixed. It shouldn't be like pulling teeth just to get what is rightfully mine

Kyle Doty

Kyle then called them and I said for him to ask for a manager this time and they said Managers do not work on the week ends and that they would have to wait until Monday to try and resolve this issue. (AND told him that they can only credit bonus' on the weekdays. If this were true, why offer us a bonus on a friday, that says our account will be credited in 24 hours? Thats a total lie then right?)
BUT WHATS THE ISSUE?? Are they are just making things up to delay giving us the bonus money. And Kyle said this is the fourth time they have done the exact same thing. Every time, they first say our account is not valid, they then say its the wrong account and always say its the number for our Gaming Club account, which its not, they then, days later act like nothing happened and send us an email that says our account has been credited.

We are supposedly VIPS and literally spend thousands in thier casinos, sometimes up to 10K in a month, so even though the loyalty bonus' are small, they can mean a lot after you lose a few grand or more. So please do not think its a bonus abuse thing, these are separate bonus offers we are offered each month solely for a select group (supposedly)
I can understand if this only happened a few times, but now its making us question them completely.
Its not even the money as much as the principal, or BS we go through. I was not aware of this until today because Kyle never mentioned it to me. So again I thought it fair to keep yall informed since I wrote my last post.

What terrible customer service!! And as you say you are one of their "better" customers. I know what I would do, take my business elsewhere with immediate effect. Plenty of places will treat you like royalty for your kind of action.

[slotchik]

Girl, I'll tell you right now. I have been a VIP with Jackpot Factory ( All Slots, First Web, etc. )for years and have gotten treated right each time! I have a special number to call when I have a problem ( which is rare ) . They pay me within 24 hours, and if they DO screw up, they compensate me immediately. I often email them and say, can I have a 100% match on my next deposit? They have never denied it. No playthrough requirements either...
You need to find a new group!

That is crap!

[wanda5]

Hi Slotchik,
Thanks so much for letting me know that Jackpot Factory is a trusted company. I have played at thier casinos but maybe had bad luck, but I will surely try them again.
The worst feeling is when you are let down so many times by customer service. Or treated as if we do not matter especially when we spend so much.
When we go to Vegas, The Monte Carlo showers us with gifts, free everything; limos, cuisine, gorgeous suites, shows etc... and we are treated like royalty because we do spend a lot in thier casino AND remain loyal especially because of this treatment. I dont expect all of that from an online casino, but the least they could do is give good customer service.
I was so sad today because Sunday is MY big day to gamble because my husband watches football (its kind of a trade to keep me out of his hair I think lol) Anyway, it was like I had no where to go. A zillion casinos and after avidly playing for over 3 years I still hadnt a clue where to go. So I went shopping instead
You would think these guys would give some kind of insentive, as the land based casinos ALWAYS do. You would think they would want to create loyal customer relationships as well.
So my revenge was the new LV duffle carry-on I bought today telling myself that we will stick to Vegas from now on.
Of course I got home and football was still on and realized Vegas cant be done every Sunday, so I HAVE to find a new casino group. Plus my husband and I both like to play together on Fridays and Saturdays, its such great fun together time!
I will download a Jackpot Factory casino today and give them another go.
Thanks a bunch and best of luck to you!
