Let me start by saying that I regularly play at several casinos, and this is the first time and only time this has happened, so I assume this is not common practice.
A couple of months ago, I registered and played at 32 Red. Several times a year, I go to Equifax to check my credit report, just to make sure everything is as it's supposed to be. I did this a couple of days ago, and was very surprised (more like shocked) to see that 32 Red had done a credit check on me. Like I said, no other casino has ever done this - only 32Red.
As you know, when a credit check is made on you by anyone, your credit score takes a negative hit - albeit a small one, but a hit nonetheless. At this point, I want nothing more to do with 32 Red because I personally find this quite unacceptable. I'm not financing a car or a house - I'm simply making a small CC deposit, so there is absolutely no need for a credit check! Also, they make no reference about this practice in their Terms and Conditions, and I think they should. People should be made aware that a credit check may be done on them.
I just wanted to warn people that 32 Red may be doing a credit check on you as well, so be warned!
