FortuneLounge, while "thesmacker" may be new with casinomeister, I, am not. As a player, and no, I am not with your group, I am so sick and tired of ALL the nonsense when it comes to paying a player. You have a real chance here to make a difference in this frustrating and crooked industry.
What exactly happened with you people that gives you the confidence to think you have the right to investigate us players? You, yourself, admitted that you allow ANYONE to deposit and play, and the verification process does not take place until someone wants to cash-out, (While this is not an actual quote, this is what you implied).
It seems to me, that most online casinos, find a way to halt/hold/delay/or just not pay players, and you use the most ridiculous of all reasons to justify your actions.
Has it ever occured to any of you casino owners, that if we players made a concerted effort, we would definitely find that 99% of you have atleast one server located in the United States, and that would be enough to shut you down? While, we players have not done this as a group yet, I think it is something you should file in the back of your mind.
In closing, why not do what Jetset suggested. Pay JohnnyDean (and all the other players) the money you owe them, close their accounts and move on. Imagine a casino group actually doing the "right" thing. You would impress the hell out of me and earn some respect.
