Bonus Issues at Mansion Casino

Same position here unfortunately. I lost 1300 in a ridculously small aount of wagering on multi hand VP. I never even made it close to meeting the playthrough for the first bonus, and its the first time i ever gave up on a bonus. I never noticed the recycles, but i knew something was not right! :confused:

What was the bet size and # of hands played?

You would have a high risk of busting under the current bonus setup requiring 40xB playthrough (on VP). With a 4 bet, ~5500 hands are required to meet the playthrough. There is a 13-30% chance of busting, depending on VP game. With a 16 bet ~1400 hands are required. There is a 35-80% chance of busting, depending on VP game.

That's not the point.

The point was that NannyRose was being ripped-off by Mansion casino with their short-pay video poker.

There's nothing wrong with having short-pay video poker, but you have to tell people.

On average they were taking at least 3% more than they claimed they were from the game description.

This is unacceptable.
 
I was fully aware i was playing "short-pay" VP. I was NOT aware just how "short" this VP actually is. It is a different game to the one described, and clearly I (and many others) would not have played this knowingly.

It most certainly is. Could we hope for an explanation from the Mansion rep. here?
 
Just spoke with the Mansion rep over the phone; the tech guys have fixed the problem, and they are going through player logs making compensations. They will be coming out with a statement soon - just wanted to give you a heads up.

By compensate I hope they don't mean giving a dumb bonus or something -- I think the fair thing would be to compensate in full based on how much was wagered and the increase in house edge this problem caused. If this is done I may actually play there again.

I don't think a lot of casinos would do this, but I think Mansion is a classy casino, at least that was my impression up untill this software glitch was discovered. Now they have a chance to prove it.

I can't help but wonder though: are there "problems" with other games at this casino as well?
 

Here is a new one on Mansion besides the ridiculous bonus rip off. I was playing in a poker tournament and was dealt the k of clubs and the 2 of spades which I folded of course. Imagine my surprise when the k of clubs hit the board. The hand ended before I could get a screenshot but that was the last dime of my money they will see. I went to withdrawl and discoverd the ridiculous policy of having to send an overseas fax to get "validated". Anyway the second K of clubs was one K of clubs too many for me to ever trust them!
 
Question to CM: did they discover that only the Multihand was recycling cards? Or the single line as well?

I had thought this (recycling cards) was just an idiosyncrasy of the site which reminded me not to play it. Seeing that things are happening, I guess I'm glad I brought it up.

This is unacceptable.

And if the bonus is complete-the-playthrough-and-then-receive, there's no such thing as busting it. No doubt plenty of people had been losing their initial deposit (sooner rather than later due to the house edge) and then redepositing in order to complete the requirements.
 
i've been waiting for an update from mansion and the rep in livechat last night denied knowing anything about this ! :eek2:

anyway, i'm wondering just how long this VP feature has been in before anyone noticed it. if its been in since day one this is going to cost them big time !

Thank you.

My account doesn't seem to be getting any larger. Is this compensation really going to happen? Is Mansion going to make a statement?
 
Actually, I misquoted them. They will look at player accounts on a case-by-case basis. Still waiting for the statement.
 
Regarding the issue with retroactive change of t&c:

I had a similar problem as Linus. I have fulfilled wager requirement according to original t&c, but not according to the new and higher requirement where War etc only count 50%. I told them that I stick to that I have fulfilled the wager requirement acccording to t&c at the time I made my deposit. I have just received a mail that my bonus will be released.
 
I emailed mansion about this. I deposited 575 and lost it all. I played alot of video poker. The reply I got was...

So they are saying I won on video poker and lost on blackjack so this makes cheating on video poker OK ? :confused:

I e mailed back with..

So because I won on video poker it means the fact I was being cheated is irrelevant ?
If upon being caught false dealing a blackjack dealer stated that the player was winning
regardless this would mean it was ok ?
That's pretty poor I think. Very disappointed with that repsonse.



They replied with...

Thank you for your email



MANSION welcomes all feedback from players and yours will be passed to the Casino Department.



Thank you for choosing to bet with MANSION.


Looks like I am being ignored in otherwords.
They say I won 49.75 playing video poker. Perhaps it might have been 949.75 if I was playing the game I thought I was playing - I wasn't.
I won on video poker so that fact mansion were cheating doesn't matter ?!?!
Perhaps I might have won more !

Let me ask you if you were playing deuces wild poker and you were 50 up and then you lost this cash elsewhere. If someone then told you, oh by the way when you were playing deuces wild one of the deuces was removed the whole time, would you not feel a little cheated ?
I mean what has happened here isn't quite the same in terms of maths but the principle is still the same surely ?
I thought I was playing a certain game as descirbed by their terms and conditions. I wasn't, I was playing a completely different one.
Casinos are always keen on making you read terms and conditions as well aren't they ?

Perhaps I am coming across as bitter just cos I lost but I was cheated neverthe less and now it seems like mansion are just gonna ignore me.
Pretty disappointed really. :(

Why don't you just chill, and give them a chance to look into your situation?

That reply from Mansion is lame. Maybe it was from a temp or just someone who has no clue. I hope so anyways.

They should just credit players automatically, because otherwise we are probably going to face a lot of these types of responses as we individually beg for our rebates.

Of course, if they did that, they'd have to give rebates to a whole bunch of people, not just the subset who (1) read this thread, and (2) have the ability/interest/time to complain.

If they aren't going to issue automatic refunds to everyone, I'd at least suggest that they send that same letter that was posted here to every member of their casino. (They may already have plans to do that; I certainly hope so.)

Judging by everything Ive read and experienced at Mansion so far, I think that is about as likely as actually making a profit there. :)

This is the "English Harbour" defence that is now going to be trotted out every time a Casino is caught with it's pants down.

Like English Harbour, this Casino is inclined to prevaricate one issue after another whether it be awarding Bonus, cheating software and/or providing compensation for affected players.

If a zero-tolerance policy is not enforced here then what is to stop every on-line Casino from cying "English Harbour - oops, sorry it's the technicians you know" before proceeding with business as usual.

If Mansion Casino truly regret this fiasco we should be witnessing an urgent communication with every video player and arranging just compensation according to an appropriate formula. Instead we get nothing of the sort.

In an earlier post CM (response to Britaldeluxe "Why don't you just chill, and give them a chance to look into your situation?") implied victims in this sorry affair are at fault for expressing a little impatience. Fair go CM - this Casino does nothing to rectify the wrongs until it is dragged screaming to a position of accountability. Players are entitled to be and remain sceptical because we have heard all this before in the not too distant past. And this is just another shameful episode of shafting players.

Probably, but if it were a genuine accident then they shouldn't mind paying it to everyone. Afterall, there is still a house edge with their video poker even if they don't recycle cards and Mansion has been spending a lot of money marketing in various media in the United States. So clearly they care about their reputation.
