Hello BGO folks. What's up with the recent problems getting you guys to talk to us about player's complaints?

You do know that these complaints come to us directly from the player and we forward them on to you on their behalf, yes?

And that we are a certified arbitrators who have every right to act as ADR to the player concerned, yes?

Lately you've been telling us to contact your Compliance guy but that has produced absolutely nothing, no response whatsoever. So the complaints are going nowhere ... dead in the water.

I have a suggestion: step up and take responsibility for these complaint(s) against your casino! Do what an Accredited casino is expected to do.

Feel free to respond here or privately if you prefer. But please do respond because as things stand this non-action/do-nothing position looks bad for both of us.

Regards,
Max Drayman
Player Arbitration (PAB) Manager, Casinomeister.com

I don't undrestand casino's that at one point are great to solve problems for players and still somehow somewhere down the road they spontaneously give you the finger.
 
Please note our nominated Alternative Dispute Resolution provider can be contacted here ...

Hello Rebecca,

That doesn't address the problem. Player comes to us with issue; I take issue to you guys; You tell me "can't discuss ... talk to Compliance"; I follow your suggestion and nothing happens. So WTF? How is that a solution to anything?

It doesn't; since the thread is relevant to the players here on this Forum making complaints and filing for ADR through Max; what is this, amateur hour? :eek2:
Hello,

Thank you for your response.

As detailed in our Terms & Conditions across all Bgo Entertainment Ltd site, our nominated Alternative Dispute Resolution provider is eCogra. I am sorry this does not help in this instance.

Hello Max,

I am sorry for your disappointment, I am sure you can imagine how busy Head of Compliance is. You will receive a suitable response in due course :)
 
So you're saying all player complaints -- UK or otherwise -- are supposed to go through eCOGRA?

Just trying to get a straight answer here.

And if that is the case why didn't you say that weeks ago?

As to your Compliance guy, yeah, sure, busy man. So am I and I generally manage to get off a response when someone has emailed me three times over the course of a week for a simple answer to what should be a basic question. Unless I have no interest in answering, of course.

So be it. Sorry to hear that because it means without you coming out and saying it that you won't accept or reply to issues that come through us. Very disappointing indeed.

It would be lovely to see the justification for this. But I reckon that takes us back to Mr Compliance doesn't it?

Wow, just wow

These 'talk to the hand' responses from BGO are somewhat shocking to say the least.

IIRC, a previous rep made a good effort this time last year or so, whats the problem with a little professional courtesy?

Seems like a degree of staff "anti - training" has been undertaken, c'mon BGO we're all busy but never too busy to keep our customers happy and thus business thriving eh?

Indirectly you are saying that casinomeister is not a medium anymore for your casino to solve complaints. I hope casinomeister takes you off the list of accredited casino's. It's a shame you guys choose this path. A lot of traffic here and when people have problems they want it to be solved as quickly as possible, that's where casinomeister comes in. I don't even get the point of having a casino representative here when you clearly have no intentions to ever comply or listen when people have possible problems.
 
Bloomin eck, when this rep appeared she was all sweetness and light, what a transformation! Now she is curt and non engaging, who would want to play at a casino that has a bad attitude :eek:
 
In the name of even-handedness I must report that BGO's Compliance guy has now contacted us. While their hands may be tied regarding UK player complaints -- because of the UKGC's ADR policy where licensed casinos must use UKGC approved ADRs or provide explanation why they have not -- I hope for and look forward to a productive discussion regarding the non-UK jurisdictions.

So does that mean no UK customer can use the PAB service any more?
