By Steve adkins on Wednesday, February 3, 1999 - 11:22 am:
hit another royal flush for $20,000.00 at the flamingo casino....
Uh oh, first rant...
By Steve adkins on Sunday, February 14, 1999 - 12:26 pm:
The showdown Casino is a ripoff... See the above posting by me.
They claim they cannot find my money in their system.
Stay away from this rip-off
And the second rant...
By Steve adkins on Monday, February 22, 1999 - 09:15 am:
Never have heard anything from the showdown casino concerning my
posting here.
They emailed me a record of my play and said I did not lose the 80
credits. LIARS
Could it be a premonition?

Yanni, I would like to be the first to be arrested in the
states for gambling on the internet. Please let us know
what you find out.
Sometimes even we didn't see things eye to eye...

Dear Bryan Bailey
Just because you would have everyone believe that somehow
you do that forum out of the kindness of your heart, do not
blame me when they find out the truth about you.
www.thequeensucks.com does not sound like something that you
would do to upset me. Sounds like something you would do to
get the hitmob upset.
You have handa lopez casinos on your site. They are crooks,
it has been proved that they are. Why would anyone in this
industry believe otherwise?
So save the song and dance for someone else. You have proved
time and again what your all about.
I have contributed more to your site then most. But no more
there Big B. You sir can go straight to hell and kiss my
ass.
You change posts at will. You have crooked casinos on your
site and your a disgrace to your race.
I would like to know if anyone else has ever had this problem with
these crooks.
And then who could forget the Golden Palace fiasco. It was problems at Golden Palace that gave Steve the motivation and prompted him to start the Online Players Association.
By Steve Adkins ( - 205.188.197.174) on Wednesday, May 3,
2000 - 02:37 pm:
James, you do not have to explain yourself here. We know
Golden Palace is a dishonest casino.
Notice he has not said anything else.
The forum quickly filled with complaints from players, and Steve's interventions. But after threats were made to several people, to include Steve and his family, most of these posts were removed.
By Steve Adkins ( - 205.188.200.53) on Sunday, May 7, 2000 -
03:31 am:
I am looking for US Citizens that have been screwed over by
Golden Palace. Please email me with details.
I say it is time to stop these thieves
And it goes on...

- 03:19 pm:
Spearmaster, If Starnet pulled a stunt like this. I would
do the same. We are not taling about Starnet or the others.
WE are talking about Golden Palace and microgaming.
The manufactures have to take some of the responsibilty for
the actions of their licensee's.
When the Claude Levy thing blew up, what did Starnet do.
THEY MADE GOOD ON EVERY DEBT OWED TO ANY GAMBLER. THEY DID
THIS TO SAVE FACE IN THE online gambling COMMUNITY.
Why does Microgaming sit by and do nothing? How long has
this been going on with them? Double billing, billing for
declined purchases!
So boycott the sites that highly advertise microgaming
casino's.
OOPPSSS I FORGOT YOU OWN ONE.
And more...
By Steve Adkins ( - 205.188.200.31) on Monday, May 8, 2000 -
08:02 pm:
Yes, anyone having a claim at all against Golden Palace.
If your account is locked with money inside, no matter what
the claim is. I have to proof all sorts of fraud by them.
Time to lower the big kaboom.
And then his sights were turned on Lucky Nugget

Pro Cyber is a boil on the butt of humanity!
Keep calling! Keep emailing! Do not slack off!
And then he aimed his sights at the Interactive Gaming Council

To: Sue Schneider
Subj: Golden Palace
From: Steve Adkins foodctr@aol.com
Dear Sue,
I have received over 50 complaints from players about the
Golden Palace Casino. Those players were offered a bonus,
so they purchased and played.
The players that lost, well of course they just lost their
money. However the players that won, well that was a
different story. Mark Francis (Head of security at the
Golden Palace) has stated these people were bonus abusers
and they will not get paid. That he is well within his
rights to close and take all that money.
Not only that, but soon after these complaints were put on
the web, Mark's crackpot security team posted as a happy
player and belittled those who complained. The IP was
traced right back to them. This is not just some
allegation, this is the truth. Everything that I say, I can
back up with proof.
I know that several complaints have been filed at your
office. As of yet there has not been any official response
on your stand.
We know that Golden Palace is a Microgaming Casino, and that
Microgaming CO-founded the IGC. We also are aware that this
is a conflict of interest on your part.
Your organization was formed to protect the rights of
players and casino's alike, but in this case you have failed
to meet your self appointed obligations to the online
community.
I would hope that this issue would be very important to you.
This self regulation is apparently not working very well.
I agree that a casino can lock out who they want. Even on
Golden Palace's web site it says they can close accounts and
refund the balance into your account. They have not even
done that. They have kept money that is not theirs. That
is the worst thing that an online casino can do. But to
have your organization by your silence, allow this to happen
is shameful and is not to be tolerated.
This is off the front page of your website.
*****To establish fair and responsible trade guidelines and
practices that enhance consumer confidence in interactive
gaming products and services; and
*****To serve as the industry’s public policy advocate and
information clearinghouse.
*****IGC Members are dedicated to achieving the goals
implicit in this mission and welcome your comments and
support.
And now I will quote from the Rules of Conduct, item number
4
4. Truth in Advertising: IGC members shall be truthful in
all promotions and publish only accurate information about
their operations. Gaming and Wagering Operator Member rules,
registration procedures and payout percentages will be made
available to the public.
The Golden Palace is guilty of this and should not be a
member.
They should be made to make good on all the money Golden
Palace has stolen.
Fair and responsible trade guidlines? Do you have a rule
for this?
Sue, Maybe you should just resign your position. It is
apparent by your lack of concern about this problem that
your not the one for this job. So Please if you care about
the online gambling community, just resign.
The online gambling community has had enough of the crooks
like Golden Palace, and bogus organizations like yours that
continue to give casino's like them your seal of approval.

Robert, there is no use in talking to Mark Francis in
Security. As he is an inbreed. Drools alot! He is the
almighty god when it comes to Golden Palace. He is crook
number 1.
He lies, cheats, steal players money, why he even calls them
at home to harrass them about wanting their money.
Well I have held back enough now. Do not want to give the
appearance that I dislike this ••••••• they call Mark.
Finally it looks like the OPA begins to take form...
By Steve Adkins ( - 205.188.200.22) on Thursday, May 25,
2000 - 01:45 am:
Hello Everybody: We are in the process of forming an online
players association. We want to bridge the gap between
player and casino.
We would like for you to take a survey to help us better
serve the online gaming community.
Have a lucky day.
Also we are forming this organization in a public message
board. Your comments are more then welcome. Go to
http://www.yourluckypage.com go to the message boards under Online Players Association.
How ironic...

- 02:05 am:
Since I am not making any money, I hope the spam song does
not come after this post.
After a couple of years reading posts about unhappy online
gamblers,and being unhappy myself.
I know it is time to do something. Several months ago,
Right here in this forum the idea of a players union was
brought up and welcomed by many.
We are working on a code of ethics for the player and the
casino. We have Casino's that welcome our members with
bonus money. We need everybody to give us some input on
how to bridge the gap between player and online casino.
EVERYBODY IS WELCOME
It is time that the online players all work together with
the Casino's.

On Golden Wager...
By Steve Adkins on Friday, September 1, 2000 - 08:45 pm:
For about three weeks now, I have been trying to collect 15k
that is owed to one of our members.
Last week on my show, they promised they would contact the
player and make arrangements for a wire transfer.
Here it is a week later and the player has got no word from
them. So I again call and speak to Paul Sharper who informs
me that they will send the player a check for 5k each week
for the next three weeks.
I asked if a wire could be done instead and he just hee
hawed around it. They promised me last week on Air that this
would be taken care of this week. Nothing was ever said
about this three week payoff thing.
I yelled at him and told him it was bull****.
This will be on the show tonight. Should be up around 5pm
EST.
So they lied to me last week.
STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS CASINO. THEY ARE CROOKED, AND A
BUNCH OF LIARS.

About Steve and his radio show at Casinogazette, it was, well very explicit at times and not for everybody. Here are some reactions to one of the "songs" he liked to play...
By humangirl (humangirl) on Tuesday, May 15, 2001 - 01:42
am:
Now, now Steve...so you'll understand...what the f__k are
you doing? Here's a complaint for YOU. How can you go on
air and claim to be "THE VOICE OF THE ONLINE GAMBLER" when
you refuse to take responsibility for the OUTRIGHT MISOGENY
on your show? Yes, I am referring to that little jingle
used as an unpleasant interlude on most if not all of your
shows. Which online gambler are you "THE VOICE" of? The
male one? Don't you think women listen to your world famous
show? Don't you think women deserve the right to not be put
down and ridiculed for being who they are, namely not men?
Don't you think it's time you take responsiblity and abolish
that f__ing crap you use on your show?!!! I do. And I am
sure there are a lot of others out there who would agree
with me. Do the right thing Steve, take it down...or one
day 'misandry' will make it to the dictionary (if it hasn't
already).
-HG
Steve's reply...
By steve (steve) on Tuesday, May 15, 2001 - 02:11 am:
Oh man! errr I mean woman. Get a grip...
forty thousand people each week listen to my show and I only
get one complaint.
Ok, I will play something very special just for you... Just
to show you I am truly a nice guy.
Now, you better get back before they realize your missing
Another response...
By steve (steve) on Tuesday, May 15, 2001 - 03:07 pm:
Thank You Colly ,,, I am glad you are not offended. I only
mean to offend stupid people.
And another...
By Spearmaster on Tuesday, May 15, 2001 - 03:21 pm:
I'm offended.
Remember when Bringmeluck.com posted the OPA's approved banner on their website? Here are Steve's postings concerning this:
By steve (steve) on Tuesday, September 04, 2001 - 12:57 pm:
Yep this Unified Gaming site has stolen the OPA approved
casino logo and is displaying it on their awards page.
Now display this you bunch of
crooks.
THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE OWN AND OPERATE
UNIFIED GAMING SITES AND WHY PLAYERS SHOULD NOT EVER PLAY IN
ANY OF THEIR STUPID SITES.
LIARS, THIEVES, AND TRAMPS.
WE HAVE A NEW AWARD YOU CAN BRAG ABOUT RECEIVING.
YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO RECEIVE THE CROOK OF THE MONTH
AWARD.
NICE JOB... NOW REMOVE OUR LOGO YOU SCUMBAG. AS HELL WITH
FREEZE OVER BEFORE ANY UNIFIED GAMING SITES ARE ALLOWED IN
THE OPA.
And he had a bit more to say about this:
By steve (steve) on Wednesday, September 05, 2001 - 02:45
am:
Let me back up. First of all the only reason we found out
about it was from a member who played there. This is what
our member wrote to us.
Larry:
If you go to the home page of BML and under "select page"
pull up "awards," in the first column, 5th one down they
have a logo which says they have been approved by the OPA.
I thought this was strange as I didn't find anything on them
at your site. Can you tell me if they in fact have been
approved by the OPA?
Ok, I then personally went to this page and saw that yes
indeed they had our logo there.
I then sent out this email to the casino and to legal and
unified gaming.

Hello Again,
One of your dishonest sites has stolen the OPA approved logo
and placed it on their site. This is a very dishonest
thing to do. Use of this logo without permission can and
will result in legal ramifications for you.
I request that this logo is removed at once. For a company
that is sooo worried about players that steal by using
robots, this is a very dishonest thing for a casino to do.
I trust you will have them remove this from their site at
once.
Steve Adkins
OPA
And this to the casino.

Hello,
My name is Steve Adkins, President of the Online Players
Association. I noticed on your awards page that you have
our logo stating that your site is approved by the OPA. I
am sorry but I show no application or membership under this
casinos name.
Please remove our logo immediately.
Steve Adkins
OPA
Then I read the garbage this casino is telling Bryan about
the logo was never on their site.
Bullshit people I went to their site and saw it with my very
own eyes.
So I wrote this letter to the casino manager.
Subj: Please remove our logo from your site
Date: 9/4/2001 7:37:04 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From: Pitbossopa
To: justin@bringmeluck.com
Justin,
I just read your response to Bryan Bailey about how honest
you are. Just remove our logo from your site.
Your not OPA approved as you want people to think. That is
a dishonest thing to do. Safebet says your not a member,
IGC says your not a member but yet you tell your customers
you are.
Please just take the damn thing down
Steve
OPA
He then wrote this one back to me.
Subj: Re: Please remove our logo from your site

To: Pitbossopa@aol.com
Dear sir,
We never had you in our website, please stop saying things
are not true. We have many things to do and you are just
taking up my time. Bryan designed a page and he is trying to
make some bad publicity about us.
Thank you.
It is bad enough that this dishonest casino stole our logo
and tried to make people think they were OPA approved. Now
when they get caught they are going to call us all liars?
I then sent this back to him.

You lying sack of shit. I went to the site myself this
morning and our logo was there.
Nice try.
Steve
Lets understand that this casino is dishonest, they stole
logos and put them on their award site.
I got an award for them. Called not recommended list for
dishonest scumbags.
And he was a funny guy too.This was posted in our jokes section..
By steve (steve) on Friday, March 30, 2001 - 05:20 pm:
Have you heard about the next planned "Survivor" show?
Well, lets take a look at the rules of Domestic Survivor.
6 men will be dropped on an island with 1 van and 3 kids
each, for 6 weeks.
Each kid plays two sports and either takes music or dance
classes.
Each man must take care of his 3 kids and keep his
assigned house clean.
They must run all errands such as the drugstore, Wal-Mart,
grocery shop, etc.
They must cook, do laundry, help their assigned kids study,
and correct all homework, complete science projects and
cook dinner each night.
The men only have access to television after the kids have
gone to bed and all chores are done, however there is only
one TV between them and there is no remote.
The men must shave their legs and wear makeup daily, which
they must apply either while driving or while making four
lunches.
They must attend weekly PTA meetings, be a committee
chairman of something, clean up after their sick children at
3:00 a.m., make an Indian teepee model with six toothpicks,
a
tortilla and one marker; and get a 4 year old to eat a
serving of
peas.
The kids vote them off the island based on poor performance.
The winner gets to go back to his job!
And finally, his last posting:
By steve (steve) on Sunday, December 09, 2001 - 08:28 pm:
At least I am not the only person being fucked with for
this online gambling crap.
Beam me up scottie
So, Steve will be missed by many, and for others it is a pleasant relief that he is gone. Not that the rogue casinos will not be under scrutiny; there are other forces at work. He made his mark in the online gaming world, this is undeniable. And the mystery will always revolve around him and obscure the "real" Steve Adkins.
But then, will the real Steve Adkins please stand up? Find out what really happened to him here.
