I thought they reviewed accounts every 10 days for those?

That is for the loyalty status level. Player, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum

From their website it states: "Whenever you have a VIP level of Bronze or better, you get to play in the free VIP tourneys that are organized all the time at 3Dice."

So, in order to maintain "Bronze" level there also has to be a certain level of deposits and playthru. I'm sure Enzo will correct this if I'm wrong.

That's for the VIP tournies, but there are still the free tournies, for non-depositing players. Usually there's only two every 24 hrs (one all games and one all slots), unless another player sponsors an open tourney...like Laurie did a while back.

Two points:

I am not going to do any advantage playing. It requires a hefty budget and a lot of patience. So we can end that discussion.

Secondly, I don't think it's really anyone elses business how 3dice runs their operation. Enzo read this thread and told me he would never "kick me out". I've won a couple tournaments for money - NEVER cashed out. So in effect, I'm saving him money.

It costs $50 every 30 days to play VIPs, but there are other free tournaments. I don't think I'm at risk of breaking Enzo's bank. If I ever want to cash out $50 or $100 from a $10 tourney win and he wants to say no, that's fine, but until that day guys please give it a rest. I am handling my issues quite well now. This is yet another thread that's turned into an argument and honestly it ruins the whole point I was trying to make.

I've gambled once in the last three weeks. Not online. I play some free tourneys at 3Dice, don't win. If you don't like that, I really couldn't care less - I'm not breaking any laws and I'm improving my situation. I couldn't be happier about it.

Hi Guys,

Just putting a couple of dots on the i's here .. For starters.. ck's deposits at 3Dice are disabled. It is the first thing I asked him after reading this thread - and it is not the first time that that initiative comes from our side. (yes - I've been shot at, shouted at and pab'd before for disallowing people to deposit - damned if I do and damned if I dont ).

Furthermore, 3Dice has never banned anyone from tourney-play - or bonuses for that matter. It's not our style and I've never had any motivation to do so. There are many other ways to contribute to our community and I consider the presence of a friendly and social person as CK in chat a big contribution. He is and will continue to be more than welcome to play in our free tourney's, play his winnings and withdraw - and none of those activities would get him banned.

As far as tourney's go, we offer free tourney's to non depositing players (80 of them the past two weeks - listed on our website - or 5.7/day), and even more to those players that do deposit at 3Dice. (266 VIP's past two weeks - also listed - 19/day). For many of our players those tournaments mean a guaranteed extension of their playtime, without taking away from the budget they reserve for real money play - and that is exactly what they are there for. Even the lowest variance game cannot give this type of guarantee. (plus, broken record, low variance is not good for the players).

If it helps CK to stay away from real-money play then I can only encourage him to do so, and for those of you that are uncomfortable with the idea that a casino actually has the best interest of their players in mind, look at it this way. 3Dice is so viciously smart that they make sure their players don't get in trouble so that they stay happy and can continue to deposit within their budget delivering much higher profits in the long run

Regards,

Enzo

Glad to hear you're doing well Kyle...really glad to hear it. It sounds like you are achieving your goal. And I haven't missed your point at all, it came through loud and clear.

I just don't think he wants people arguing about what's best for him, or 3Dice, or advantage play. That's my take anyway. But you're right, when this subject gets brought up....there are lots of different viewpoints and opinions. And we do care, and just want to make sure he's doing okay. Bunch of den mothers.

Enzo, I have the utmost respect for you and how you handle situations like this. In a way, this is exactly why I hope your operation stays small. It allows you to have that "personal" interaction with each of your players, and keep a handle on situations like this. You're never going to please everyone, no matter what you do. Like I've said before, I'm positive that Kyle has put himself in very good hands.

Cindy, do you even read the thread...?

The main point of the thread got derailed, and instead it was beginning to turn into a debate on 3Dice's operation choices and how I could keep gambling while making a profit. I feel as those kinds of posts are unconstructive to the point I was trying to make in the original thread, and I think any reasonable person would agree...

I wasn't telling people to stop caring or give it a rest when it comes to posts on topic.

Don't know why you're so quick to judge my posts.

Kyle

[GGW Laurie]

Do you understand Kyle just how many people you have probably helped with your thread?

I dont think Cindy is trying to undermine you , most people will always differ on whats best for someone wanting to cut back or just quit gambling for good.

I think you have this all in hand now and will continue on a better path than before, i can even tell by the way you post now as opposed to before when you were gambling at full speed.

I would like to see more casinos take a interest in watching out for players that may be having problems with gambling, and they can tell. It would be pleasing to see some of the better casinos take the actions like Enzo at 3 Dice has imo.

Kyle, you have started a great topic here, that could impact others and maybe show new online players, that its fun for awhile, but fun and gambling never lasts forever and someone always pays in the end and its usually the player......... continued good luck................laurie
