Big Dollar Casino

[cheetahwind]

So I'm going to take a wild crack this casino. Considering the domain name is betbigdollar.com. That it's probably a grand prive venture? Just because I find it awfully funny the domain name was registered on the same day as betgrandprive.com. I find it awfully hard to believe that they would just happen to want to open up for business on the same day.
So far I mean the free chip is a nice gesture like usual, but still makes me a bit leery about actually depositing.
I'm thinking this might be another CD coaster type of casino.
Oh also on that very same note... the only thing that makes them slightly different. Is the tier levels they call themselves, so I suppose that makes them slightly different, but still leery.
Any thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

I got 25 free spins on the Alpha Squad slot and a $50 free chip, i did the spins first and won $75 but then after awhile of playing i gave it back, so then i did the code for the free money and i am still playing with it and its been a few days, i only play for shorts bursts but still, it's lasted more then anyn other casino deposit of late

I received a CD from them today and it went right into the trash at the Post Office, same place I deposited the Grand Prive one I received two weeks ago.

 

[marcsudbury]

a few years ago they sent me a cd 3 times with 100$ free on it. lmao i cahed out over 1000 every time. sadly they stopped sending them to me.

 

[cheetahwind]

So anyways, I decided to go ahead and play here for a bit.
I took the non deposit offer.
I ended up cashing out. Lucky me. Only had to send in a copy of a util bill and ID.
Got my cashout within literally 3 business days via check.
Now here's the real shocker.
The checks are still coming from the Kahnawake settlement even after there spat?
I'm wondering if it's really over or if that was all for show.
Just something I wondered after I saw what I got was all.

What 'spat'? I have no idea what that is a reference to - can you explain?

 

[cheetahwind]

Well last I knew they had there gaming license pulled after switching software providers. So wouldn't that also cause them to no longer help them with payments? Just wondering

You know what's so funny? When GP and Big Dollar were all MG, Big Dollar AND GP support all told me that Big Dollar was NOT GP. They merely used the same support.

I believe this is still the case. I asked them a few months ago and they said they were not part of the Grand Prive group, but did use same support, and maybe same payment processor(s)?

Just a small reminder; though Big Dollar Casino itself is not on the rogue list, the company who own them (Grand Prive) are. So if you should run into any problems with them, I think you will be SOL as far as getting any help from CasinoMeister goes...

Shame they DID fall out with the Kahnawake, since the new list of who owns what would have revealed the TRUTH. From what it DOES reveal about other casinos that also said "they are not part of us", I am now CERTAIN Big Dollar was a fully paid up member of Grand Prive.

This "who owns what" list reveals that both Jackpot Factory and Villento are actually owned by the SAME overall holding company. Ask support though, and I'll bet they will tell you otherwise.

Jackpot Factory have long been known to have this "secret" upper tier of ownership, but there were no names given. The Kahnawake list now NAMES the holding company that itself owns the two subsidiaries "Jackpot Factory" and "Villento Brands". There are other top level connections between other casino groups that, on the face of it, have nothing to do with each other.

Quoting from my own website's Blacklist page:

This long established and previously very reputable group have committed an act which is unprecedented & totally unheard of before from any operator of Microgaming casinos.

In November 2008 they announced their marketing program would close on Dec-1st, and so their advertisers (webmasters) would no longer earn commission for their marketing work.

Everyone assumed that the casinos would be closing too. But the casinos are still open for business, which means that Grand Privé have broken contractual agreements with 100’s or even 1000’s of advertisers like myself.

Basically they have just stabbed us all in the back & are stealing money which was promised to us in a life-time agreement.

If they can treat their loyal business partners like this, how on earth might they treat their players?

That is why Bryan put them on his rogue list.
To be fair, player complaints have been very low to non-existent, so they may well be safe to play at, but if you ever do run into problems with them you are unlikely to find any webmasters (e.g. CasinoMeister) are willing to help you.

thanks for the info

That's not too cool, I agree.

They were rogue before they changed to betonsoft. Now that they are betonsoft everything seems legit as far as payouts are concerned from what I have read. I have never won enough to cash out on any betonsoft grand prive site. However I do pretty well on the other betonsoft sites that are not grand prive. The fact they changed from MG to betonsoft should raise some red flags though.

Not really.
With MG withdrawn from the USA market they needed to switch to a software they could offer to all the American players their previously loyal webmasters had brought to them and so carry on making money for themselves...

My experience so far

ok its been 3 days of hastling over documents, "can't see all the borders of your DL, need copy of backside of your debit card, need faxed form authorizing debit charges, need copy of ulitility bill(none in my name so they accepted a copy of top half of credit card bill).

Biggest problem, sent all via email attach and fax but took forever for them to get it together. Finally today they acknowledged that they did infact receive all documents and they were acceptable.

This is nothing new for Big Dollar, always got the run around even before they because betbigdollar.com

Now will see how long to pay quicktender.

 

[pokerdan]

it takes 48 hours until they process, and then 24-48 hours most likely.You should receive your money in quiktender monday or tuesday i bet, let us know when it goes through, I am curious if it takes the same time as the other betonsoft sites. Thanks

 

[footdr]

As I Promised regarding payment from betbigdollar.com

After the hasstle over documents, once they were approved I was paid on Friday November 12, 2010. My withdrawal was made on November 9th.

So not bad!
