CASINOMEISTER'S ROGUE PIT

Over the years, Casinomeister's infamous and sometimes coveted "Rogue Section" has spawned into a number of categories - each with it's own level of roguish attributes. There is the most serious level of being a straight out "rogue" operation that is clearly a rip off joint to the lesser "Bumblings, Blunders and Negligence" and "Stupid Casino Tricks".

Nevertheless, it doesn't matter whether these operations are just plain sloppy or have intentions to cheat - the operations listed within these confines need to be scrutinized by the careful and diligent player. Proceed with caution, and at times - trepidation.

Casino Warnings

These are the Casino Warnings that are posted in our forum by either me or Max Drayman our "Pitch a Bitch and complaints manager. These usually precede rogue listings so this is something you should be paying attention to.

19 April 2012
Warning: Vegas2Web is slow-paying players, claiming "processor problems". We've had a few PAB complaints against these guys recently and they all seem to add up to the same MO: slow-paying players, endless promises that are repeatedly broken, blaming the "processors" but never actually resolving the problems and getting players paid. They claim that they are "working with the players" but the players report back that nothing has been done.

More here.
22 March 2012
Warning: Smartlive's dodgy practices = no pay.  Smartlive is using some exceedingly dubious methods to handle player complaints, the end result being non-payment of 1000s of Euros/UKP of player winnings. When players press their cases with the casino they are offered fractional pay-offs, BS stories, and lockouts. Players are advised to avoid Smartlive

The full story here.
20 March 2012
Warning: Bingo Card, klutzing out and keeping payments.  Bingo Card appears to be confiscating player and affiliate funds for a variety of unsubstantiated reasons. They won't discuss cases with the players and they won't respond to third-party attempts to assist. Players are advised to avoid Bingo Card with extreme prejudice.

16 March 2012
Warning: Wonder Bingo: enforcing non-existent Terms, etc.  This will be brief: player came to us with a complaint regarding Wonder Bingo and related sites -- "bingopalace.co.uk, 24hourbingo.com, astrobingo.co.uk and others" -- wherein they were booted off the network due to "a rule" that apparently says "it is not permitted to play with more than one account per day on any networked game." We tried to contact the site but received no response. We could find no such "rule" in the Terms & Conditions, nor any reference to a "network", but we did find this:

Read about it here.
9 November 2011
Warning: Best Casino denying withdrawals, non-responsive  A player came to us after the casino had denied a €1800 withdrawal claiming "we need to verify your credit card with the bank before we do any payouts". They then returned the player's deposits, locked the account and refused to provide further information or respond to the player's attempts to communicate.

We received the PAB, forwarded the details to the casino, and heard nothing back even after several attempts.

More info here.
13 October 2011
Warning: Slots Jackpot: no pay, Support non-responsive  A player came to us with an issue where they had won €9000 at slots. The casino paid some of it then locked the player out and wouldn't respond to phone, chat or email. This went on for eight months before the player filed a Pitch-A-Bitch. We tried several times to get a response from the casino but they completely ignored us.

More info here.
Rogue Casinos
"Rogue": an unprincipled person, a scoundrel, a rascal, an undesirable deviation from a standard. The Rogue Casino list is a bit more serious than simply not being recommended. Most of these casinos are guilty of gross customer negligence bordering on the criminal. Some of these casinos have disappeared leaving their players empty handed and downright disgusted with the industry as a whole.

Not Recommended Casinos

The "Not Recommended" casinos are just that, they are casinos that are not recommended because of substandard customer service, poor support, serious payment delays, bad bonus terms, and questionable business practices. Simply stated - these are casinos that you should avoid until they have corrected these malfunctions.

Bumblings, Blunders and Negligence

The "Bumblings, Blunders and Negligence" section is reserved for casinos that either screw-up something fierce or are negligent by failing to protect their players from software bugs, stolen data-bases, or commit other acts of serious stupidity. In the military it's called "dereliction of duty" and is punishable by massive pushups, water-boarding, or burning shitters. This is the list:

Evil Casino Software Providers

There are certain software providers that either have funkified software that cheats, or they have a "hands off" approach to their licensees, allowing the casino to do whatever they please.

Fake Watchdog Sites

There are a number of casino operators that feel that their players need to be deceived into believing their casinos are a safe place to play. Some of them have set up "watchdog" sites that claim to be monitoring the fairness of their operation thus giving themselves a "stamp of approval". This is deception in the lowest form and borders on the criminal. Other organizations were formed in good faith, but over the years have become indifferent, apathetic, and flaccid.

Sometimes casinos that display logos from the following sites are unaware of the "ruse" they are playing a part of. Obviously, they didn't do their research, or perhaps they think that the logos look pretty. Nevertheless, casinos that display logos from the following organizations should be avoided. Fake and flaccid are here ...

Dungeon of Evil

This is the archived section of the Rogue Pit - casinos that faded away into the depths. Most are offline or out of business, but that's not saying their operators aren't. This is why this section exists. The complaints may be outdated, the sites may be dead, but in the Dungeon they molder.
