CASINO770?

[Rusty]

I just came across a casino I had not heard of before casino770.co.uk.

They offer a free 10 chip and since I had not seen there software before and they are supposed to have land based casinos I thought they might be on the up and up and worth a try.

Anyway I joined and a chat window opened and I was asked if I was about to deposit.
I said not yet I was going to try the free chip and see if I liked their slots.
Then I was typing in a question about deposit methods but they had gone!
Doh!
Not to worry maybe I cut off so anyway I applied through email for the freechip which is supposed to be credited straight away.
Then I logged back in an hour later and no free chip yet but the chat window opened and I was asked if I was making a deposit
I said the same thing and wham bam no goodbye or kiss my arse they were gone again the moment I mentioned the free chip.

Hmmmmmmmmm now that is some CS especially as when you try to get the chat back up to speak to them it says they are offline (although they are supposed to be 24/7)

Warning signs.

So has anybody heard of these people or played at their casinos?

 

[GI Joe]

They have been around for a while...but I never made a deposit there.

They offeres freechips in many variants...but I never get any wins big enough to cash out.

Im quite sure i dont want to make a deposit

GI Joe - happy new year to all!

 

[uungy]

I have played there in the past.

The customer support is officially in english, but rarely do you get a response which can be unserstood. They seem to use an online transalator, which is useless.

Payments are usually within a week or so, I have had to wait for about a month once, but they do pay.

The only real thing is, I had a really bad "run", I cant say it was "rigged", probably not enough hands, but I contacted their "english support" and wanted to know who has checked their software

they responded

The RNG (Random Number Generator) has been checked by one of the employees
who work for the Fairplayer company.

Please go to 'Our fairplay certified software' on the bottom of our home
page and you will find the certification signed by Eric Bouhanna, one of
the company's representatives.

Not really much of any use. Fairplayers.com who is a website who is registered to adictel.com (the whois says that), a company apparently who fight casino addictions.

The strange thing is, if you go to Fairplayers.com now it goes to hxxp://www.partouche.com/ who are the parent ownsers of casino770!

So in fact casino770=adictel=fairplayers. It doesnt seem to say anything about the trust of their software.

the last response I got from them was

We can assure you that Casino770 works only with reliable companies and
trustworthy on-line entities

Which shows they are trying to decieve me, and pretend as though they are seperate companies.

If you get a free chip, play with it, abd if you win they will pay out, but I think their software is unfair (no proof) but they dont smell clean

 

[aka23]

The only real thing is, I had a really bad "run", I cant say it was "rigged", probably not enough hands, but I contacted their "english support" and wanted to know who has checked their software

You aren't the only one who had a really bad run. I have the following warning on my site:

"Casino 770 has had a disproportionately high number of player issues for a casino of their size. About half of the issues I am aware relate to software problems. For example, there was an issue in early 2007 with split and double buttons disappearing while playing BJ. More recently, a referred player reported a similar issue with a missing double option while making a half-bankroll bet. Other issues include poor support and slow payment.

A player recently contacted me about a statistically improbable result in baccarat. The player lost 133 while wagering only 788 with some bets on banker and some bets on player. The odds of this occurring randomly are extremely low. I estimate nearly 1 in one million. Having said that, several other players have reported normal game results and having a large net win at Casino 770."

 

[aodat2]

Whatever the case, be it that the software is flawed or something. If they are giving out free money, I don't mind trying to play there just for the free money part of it.

Other than that, I'd rather play somewhere else with better English and better communications.

But for those out there who is reading this post. My philosophy still stands and I'm sure everyone else would have more or less a similar philosophy as well. When they give out FREE MONEY, just play there. Be it that you win or lose, it doesn't matter. If you win, all the better. If you lose, there's nothing lost.

Having said that, I wish everyone good luck and a very Happy New Year.


Ps. Never deposit anywhere until you are certain that everything is in order and everything is good to go!

 

[chuchu59]

My experience with them:

I played poker at their poker site and was sent an e-mail in Dec 2006 where I was awarded a birthday bonus of not less than 10 Euros(that's what they said) for use at the casino. When it wasnt there, I contacted support who seemed to have no idea as to what the issue was. I then PM'ed their forum rep who promised to look into this. After our exchange of PMs on 26 Dec 2006 he simply disappeared and never returned nor was there anyone who followed up.

I didnt bother to PAB because this only involved free money but this tells you a lot about their organisation. Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

 

[SlotsWizard]

I love exposing crappy casinos, and this place really takes the cake. Here are just a few observations I made within a couple of minutes of playing in free mode:

They claim to be the "No. 1 Online Casino" ... how original! The official count of "#1 Online Casinos" now stands at 5,267

The currency you select before entering a video poker game is , but once you're in the game it has miraculously lost value by being converted to €

The screenshots of their video poker games are all in French, and some of the games themselves are entirely or partially in French, such as their "Texas Hold'em" Joker Poker variant, which by the way, doesn't even work. I entered it and clicked "Miser Max" (Bet Max) and my fun-play balance was updated to:

Old Attachment (Invalid)
(for those who don't know, NaN means "Not a Number", which means the programmer screwed up - obviously)

They do not offer "Jacks or Better", but they do offer "Jack or Better" with a totally messed-up paytable that features the following return percentages:
1 coin: 93.76%
2 or 3 coins: 92.58%
4 coins: 95.47%
5 coins: 94.47%
... so you're better off playing 4 coins instead of 5, assuming what you win actually matches what the graphics say. 100-hand Jacks or Better returns 93.73% regardless of what coin size you play (there is no increased payout for a Royal Flush when betting 5 coins).

The Kings - and only the Kings - are in French, displaying an R (Roi) instead of a K (King).

The autohold does not hold the best play. I was dealt 2,4,5,7,8 of mixed suits and it auto-held the 4,5,7,8 even though the best play was to discard everything, even for their crappy paytable.

I'm sure there are countless other problems. I can't believe anyone would actually deposit money here. C'est pas magnifique.

 

[jetset]

Sounds like bad news and bad management here.

I may be stating the obvious, for which apologies in advance, but this property is owned by the Interactive arm of the considerable French casino gambling company Partouche.

They (the Partouche Interactive division) put on a significant exhibit at an industry expo in January, expensive glossy brochures and all, apparently trying to expand the use of their software by offering it in turnkey online casino deals.

This is in the Casinomeister archives:

"The Partouche Interactive stand was large and well manned, showing off a growing range of interactive and internet products. PI is a new subsidiary of the French land casino company Groupe Partouche, which owns some 55 land operations throughout Europe.

"The company flew in famous footballer Eric Cantona as their ambassador for the new platform which offers no download Platinum Backgammon using software from the French software developer Que des Jeux. More can be expected from the well backed Partouche Interactive which has been created to "establish a gateway between land-based casinos and communications technology networks" on a global basis.

"The company is selling Flash instant multiplay casino games both web and mobile, and web and mobile Backgammon. It is also offering Cash TV, a unique television channel for gaming broadcasts in France on Canal Satellite around-the-clock, and will be producing poker TV programming through Sogimage Productions.

"Partouche Interactive was formed under CEO Frederic Vinzia in April last year."

I'm not sure that flew too well, but they have not been particularly visible lately.

Nice info, but has their programming be tested for fair randomness.

The fairplayers letter is their own company , so it means nothing. Secondly the letter (can be seen

) when I transalated into English, ias far as I remember it hardly said anuything about the tesing of the RNG.

Partouche may be a big company, but I really would not trust the software, unless they had a non biased random check, and also kept to their word a little bit.
CS officially respond within 30 minutes, but you rae lucky if you get a response in 48 hours

I didnt bother to PAB because this only involved free money but this tells you a lot about their organisation. Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

I also advise to stay far far away from this place. After pointing out a software glitch on their blackjack months ago (visual error, not gameplay from what I saw), I was given a $10 free chip. When I tried to claim it, the code didn't work. The rep here (now gone AWOL for quite some time) never responded, and my emails to support went unanswered. I finally gave up on them.

I could just imagine how it'd be if I actually had real money involved.

FWIW, the dealer count was 16 when a jack and 5 were shown.

 

[Rusty]

Thank you everybody, on the face of it they seem like a good place to play in that they have many B&M Casinos.
I just logged in and no sign of the free credit so that probably confirms what most of you have been saying.
Not worth the risk of a deposit and thanks again for the info.

 

[Alexandre]

Run away !!!

Hi Rusty,

I'm French and I know well Casino770's and Partouche's history, as a player and as an affiliate.
I won't discuss it here again as I've already did it in this post
Partouche is stucked with Casino770 (but don't say it to anyone as they've told the French government a very different and complicated story which they swallowed because they wanted to) because they finally couldn't develop their own software with Quedesjeux after they've heavily promoted it.
So they've thought they could do it themselves...with no budget.
This story should be told, not written, and I promess I will give full details to the interested members coming to the ICE expo.
Then they decided to make a deal with a big software.
Now imagine this big software, with very agressive and unethic pratices against his own operators, seing Partouche, one of the big land based casino operators, coming to them with their huge client database (land based and online)...that would have been a massive orgy in Partouche's database.
But they've smelled the ambush and they've runed away.
Now consider that Partouche has created Adictel, a network of shrink helping compulsive gamblers, and I'm still asking myself how they did it, but they've managed to convice land based casinos (their competitors) but also online casino (like 888 !) to heavily promote it (some of them are paying to have the right to offer this outsourced "service" to their customers !), especially their hotline number, giving access to their most profitable players, compulsive gamblers in need of help, to Partouche through Adictel's database.
They've performed an hold up on their competitors without using weapons and a dirty kind of one because they've targetted addicted people by giving the illusion of an organisation which should help them.
And they have more obsure plans with Adictel for this year, the kind of one you could only imagine happening in France...
I'm sorry to end up like that but I really can't give more details on the forum.
All the Jackpot Factory and RTG stories sound like fairy fales comparing to this one.

 

[Rusty]

Thank you for the information.

Let me try to be sure what you are saying though.

Are you saying that Partouche who own Casino770 have created an organisation called ADICTEL and through this organisation have gained access to a database of problem gamblers from SHRINK and are now outsourcing that information so that these gamblers can be targeted by Casinos?

I really hope I have misunderstood you or that information is wrong as I can not imagine such abhorent behaviour from a Casino group.

 

[Alexandre]

There are many evidence of this, like the fact that Eric Bouhanna is part of the Partouche staff, they usually send him as a representative of the company for important deals.
I'ts one of them, they trust him and they gave him the ressources and the support to create and run Adictel.
But it's only words...facts talk better:
Outdated URL (Invalid)
Outdated URL (Invalid)

I'm always amazed when I see this kind of mistakes.
They know as much about Internet as I know about quantic physics.

But they've done "better".
Their offices are in the same building:
Old / Expired Link
Old / Expired Link

The funny thing is that here, in France EVERYBODY knows that Adictel=Partouche, even the journalist from Journaldunet.com (they are not known for their investigational skills) asks Eric Bouhanna (2nd question) in

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

:
"What is your business model ? Is it true that the Partouche group is a shareholder of you company ?"
The answer is magic but it's late and I won't traduce it, quickly it says "No, Partouche isn't shareholder, there are no private operators in our shareholders, it's false rumors, our success disturbs (lol) bla bla bla"
Clowns...but not funny ones.
The worth is to come.
They have set an obscure plan to blackmail french affiliates.
The con mecanism should look like that:
"Put Partouche's online operations EVERYWHERE on your website. Put the Adictel seal on your website. The Adictel seal will cost you 5% (or more) of your revenues. If you don't do it, we will contact the "Renseigments Gnraux" (like the NSA in US, they are the authority which deals with land based casinos and Partouche has incestual relationships with them), we will provide them your name, address and offshore account number (they have 99% of the French affiliates in their affiliation program database, ACF Webmaster) and finally give them the evidence you are a casino affiliate.
Do you know you could go to jail for that ? At least it's going to cost you a huge amount of money in taxes and fines you will have to pay for not declaring your revenues during years".
Bryan, Simmo, feel free to delete this post if you think you should do it.

 

[Alexandre]

Sorry, double post

 

[uungy]

I think I have proven already they run Adictel, but the put together you state is unbelievable. Fairplayers (whom whois shows adictel) now goes to partouche.com

Good post on what they are doing, and i think they deserve the Rogue big time!

They are luring addicted gamblers to play on their unlicensed and non tested software

 

[lojo]

This is amazing if the dots connect. I am very interested in reading more. [I was going to suggest Rusty ask you, Alexandre (as I recalled you posting about partouche previously - one of the only recollections I have of that name) but it turned out I didn't need to]

Datamining and its implications and repurcussions to freedom are beyond most of our imaginations, including mine, and if this is a predatory example of the worst sort - the consequences should be criminal. Rogue is not a strong enough word. Do the French still have islands of hard labor with life sentences? If true and proven; this, or a similar fate is in order imo.

 

[uungy]

I have just contacted JM-Partouche via PM's and urged him to read this. He resopnded, quickly, however he obviously did not read this post.

I can not respond to him, as his PM inbox is full

I have contacted via email now

 

[uungy]

I have recieved a response, and waiting to see if I can post his email.

I havent had time to look through all of it yet.

 

[The Dude]

Just a quick admin note that JM-Partouche was removed from the Casino Contatcts page and I-Gaming Representative user group due to his account inactivity - thus his PM box was shrunk down to the default registered member size.

But he's been placed back in the rep section so he can be PMd now.

 

[Simmo!]

They do not offer "Jacks or Better", but they do offer "Jack or Better"

LOL

Now that sounds like a +EV game if ever there was one

 

[The Dude]

...
Bryan, Simmo, feel free to delete this post if you think you should do it.

Just hope you can back this up - it's pretty damning.

Casino770

Hello

Following the track down by Uungy - I sent him an answer to about all the messages from this threads - Sadly i wish i could be the whole day answering/speaking on the forum ( i would love that ) - but in cas you have a problem/question that cannot wait, i will do all my possible to help you as much as i can - you can send it in email to jm [at] casino770.com

Please excuse me for me english in advance, because as you can guess, i am suffering from frenchia

Now, mainly here is a cut/paste to one of the many emails i sent to Uungy because i tryed to work well on that matter

Best Regards

Jean Marc

Dear Uungy,

Ok let me go message by message

1st from Rusty - It looks from the bonus structure plus a little of despair which is understandable. His username would and actual problem would help me sort things out for him. [Rusty - send me a mail with your username and the exact problem, i will do my best!]

2nd from GI Joe - He got free chips, lucky guy - but he is in LA, so if he is american sadly he might not be able to deposit/withdraw. [Same - give me your username, and we can check that out ]

3rd message Uungy (you!) -

You cant understand the customer support, provide me with the message and i will make sure that if thoses staff check up their english, since they usually sign with their first name (french habit).

[Here - send me a few mails / messages you received from them, and i will take care of this]

The RNG (ISAAC) has been indeed check up by FairPlayers, linked to Casino Partouche - but i wish that casino770 would be adictel or fairplayers - sadly it is not, Partouche is merly a client of the software solution used by Casino770, this is why my nickname is JM-Partouche, at this time i used to consult with Partouche on the UK Market Also the ISAAC RNG has been approved by the authorities of Malta (LGA Commission) - if you wish, i can try to ask the operator CasinoRiva to send me with this information, even tough Casino770 is not lisenced in Malta.

For the fairplayer/adictel - you can contact mr Eric Bouhana (sorry is i mistyped his name) - director of Adictel, he must have a french number - let me look up on his website.. ok the WHOIS indicates : +33.172748270
He can confirm you about his company, he might get a little upset that you think he is an online casino since he is against all kind of dependencies and fight really with all his heart against compulsive gambling and casinos helping to the spending of players ! Unlike me his english is perfect ;-)

[Hopefully a translation of the Fairplayers paper, and further testing by companies such as TST will help restore your faith]

4th message from aka23

Well sadly the guy is an affiliate, so mainly i can redirect him to his affiliate manager, to check on the website again and see if the warning can be removed - which i will do, lets try to be fair and square

[aka23 - Maybe indeed you and your account manager (whoever he is) can revise this situation and indeed talk about it]

5th message from aodat2 :

Whatever the case, be it that the software is flawed or something. If they are giving out free money, I don't mind trying to play there just for the free money part of it.

As i told you, bonus policies plus a player cost (in average) 500$ on the market.. 20$ is worth a loss for a 500$ player -some casinos even give you back your first deposit up to 1000 euros (microgaming).

[Sorry i gave avay the big CPA secret]

6th message - chuchu59 :

I remember last year i tryed to help him but he was not able to give me his username on the poker - and his email was not found in database, so again - if he has his right username or email used to play with us, no problems, with extreme pleasure i will have his bonus rewarded

And sadly, i diseappeared, because as you can imagine, i cant go on a wild goose chase forever.

[chuchu59 - please remember your PSR login and 1 year after - WE CAN FIX THIS ! i still remember - the PSR login is given by all the playtech softwares.]


7th message - SlotsWizard

For his problem, i would need his specific username on the casino to forward to the technical departement to make a checkup with the games he actually played - as you must know casino policies, we can check players enguiries only with their statistics in our databases (photoshopping is so easy).

As for the payout percentage, this one got to be calculated on a few many hands to be known rightfully - since the video pokers follow the vegas poker rules (random) - and unlike slots are not using what we call cycles, the percentage will indeed vary a lot if you play just a few hands - this relates to the ISAAC random generator, and again if you wish to get a few tests on millions of hands - it would be with pleasure (might take about a week to find you this)

[Mainly here, id need your Casino username to check up your little problem/outcomes with the poker - send it to me in email - i will straight forward it to the technical notice, with an URGENT notice]

8th message - jetset

Well partoucheinteractive will be indeed lanching i think their Casino/Poker solution in Feb (this is why we closed www.casino-partouche.com) - but sadly this is all about business deals, and i cannot reveal any of it, lets wait until Feb -

[Mainly business reason like - in 2008 the french market is believed to open to online gambling for people having real land based casino - thats a secret ]

9th message - uungy (again)

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

You are right this letter is in french, we might have it translated, because it will be a little more usefull - so you do
not have this kind of misunterstanding next time

Again, ISAAC RNG is approved by the LGA in MALTA.

But moreover - we have been in touch with TST - a testing company to make another test of our random generator. Since here we are more at a negociation phase, as you can guess, tests are quite expensive (running a lots of hands expensive ?? oh well - they have a good living like that ) - but i do not despair that we will have somedays a TST certification, and this might helps in the forums

[My best to try to have 770 (and the others using the software) to clear things out.]

---

Again, i would like to thank you all for this feedback, as i said to Uungy, we run a project in the french speaking countries nammed Conseil des Joueurs (Counsel of the players (?)) - where we take up all the feedback from the forums (the relevant feedbackm,problems,politics,etc) - and its with pleasure (and lots of our free time) that we will try to find solutions/reply to them - If you are interested by sending me the feedback of the English community, you can indeed email me at jm [at] casino770.com

I am indeed in love with online gambling, as for the social outcome that we can try bring from it, to help people from solitude, with an addiction problem. There are a lot of good debates to do here as well

Casinomeister - please put me back in the casino contacts - i will be good i promise

Best Regards,

Jean Marc

Dear Uungy

I follow up on the client chuchu59 to tell you that i sent his Casino Details to the Poker team - so they will try (again) to find him to reward him his gift - but he would need to send me (in email) his PSR Poker login to ensure 100% (if not already rewarded) that his gift to be rewarded.

On his casino account chuchu59 - he has got a 10 Pounds bonus for his birthday a while ago, but didnt get notification because he requested to not be sent and emails from 770.

[winbig]

Thanks for your reply in this matter, but:

1: You never responded to anyone for months on end via email nor PM's
2: I understand dropping USA players, but I for one was never notified. I wish I had exact dates, but I was still able to log into my account, so this was definitely pre-UIGEA.
3: See #1

Have a good one Glad to see you back.

 

[Rusty]

Thank you for the reply JM-Partouche and your efforts to explain the connection between 770casino, partouche, adictel and fairplayers.

Unfortunately these links appear a little ambiguous but that may be a translation problem so I will give you my understanding of it and perhaps you can clarify or correct me where I am wrong.

First of all it appears that fairplayers are the marketing arm of adictel or at least the Two are very closely linked.

You say that the RNG for casino770 is checked by fairplayers and fairplayers are linked to partouche The RNG (ISAAC) has been indeed check up by FairPlayers, linked to Casino Partouche
What is that link?

Surely any verification of RNG should be done by an independent body.

You then say that you wish casino770 were fairplayers or adictel what does that mean?
Casino770 have fairplayers and adictel banners.

You then go on to say that partouche is merely a client of the software provider of casino770.

The software provide of casino770 is Fast-CPU do they provide the software for partouche and is that there only relationship with partouche?

If partouche have no other connection to casino770 then why do you represent them?

I am very confused at this point so any clarification of the situation would be much appreciated.

As for my bonus it was the free 10 chip offer I applied for but don't worry about that.

Thanks in advance for your time.

 

[aodat2]

JM, let me point out a few things.

I have registered an account at Casino770 and tried to redeem the FREE money but unfortunately till this very moment, my account still shows 0.00.

It's written very clearly and very BIG in the promotions area that all you have to do is write to [email protected] with the promotional code "Goodgame" and we'll get the free money within 10 MINUTES!!!

That is unfortunately not entirely true as I have waited for at least more than 48 hours since I first sent the email to them and have not even received a reply or anything!

Perhaps you could tell me and everyone here what's going on?

...believe it or not, I actually got this 10$ freechip! Well...the 10 min..of course they meant "several days up to forever". C`mon guys - be honest. I wouldn`t deposit there....but hey, if some of you can proof that this is a clean place - but til then I stay with the accre. casinos...well I shouldn`t if I take a look at my banc-account.

I`ll will BLOW this freechip out - right tonight. Maybe I will install a webcam. This is going to be a real happening!!! Woooheee...fasten your seatbelts!!
Yes - I am at the office for too long today

 

[uungy]

I am confused too!

If adictel=casino770 but not partouche, why did Fairplayers.com take you to Partouche.com (they have now changed this, and fairplayers has its own site back up, stange it has been changed since it was pointed out here!)

Also if the LGA commision have checked the fairness, I would have that plastered on your site, not the baseless unbiased fairplayers.

his request about the Warning - to see if we can work review the situation.

-- two --

Dear Uungy

I follow up on the client chuchu59 to tell you that i sent his Casino Details to the Poker team - so they will try (again) to find him to reward him his gift - but he would need to send me (in email) his PSR Poker login to ensure 100% (if not already rewarded) that his gift to be rewarded.

On his casino account chuchu59 - he has got a 10 Pounds bonus for his birthday a while ago, but didnt get notification because he requested to not be sent and emails from 770.

-- three --

I found the client aodat2 - he was indeed rewarded the "Good Game" 10 pounds bonus and it seems he used it yesterday i
believe

If any problem occured to this client - please let me know.

--

For GI Joe - sadly we were not able to track him down, i would need his Casino Account to help it out.

--

For Rusty - same, couldnt find him.. just too many Rusties registered
We would need his username to help it out.

--

For SlotsWizard - same - didnt find him, we would need his username to help it out.

--

For jetset - Well he has no real problem with the games/etc - but more looked into the news

--

For winbig (if registered as winbig on Casino770 - note added - )

Well actually the problem we had with his is that he is american and therefore we could not accept him any longer after mi
2006 (or so) because our policy if you read casino770.us is (Since our processor actually do not want us to process US
credit cards or US clients) :

US citizens and residents are not allowed to use the services and products we provide and they will not be accepted on our website.

General Health & Financial Warning: Gambling involves risk. By gambling on any real money website, you run the risk that
you may lose money or suffer psychologicial injuries. You gamble at your own risk.

He did enjoy 3 free gifts with us.

Well thats all folks, i hope i opened up a good and healthy debate, and wish you all a belated happy new year

Hello,

I just cant believe you are back. While you are still here, can you kindly resolve the issue we had that dated back to Dec 2006 in our exchange of PMs.

 

[JM-Partouche]

Dear Aodat2

I asked indeed the customer service to check on you, but since i am quite faster than them

I will ask them to make that gift - it is your right (since its in Casino770 conditions)

Keep me posted, by PM, here or email - as i told Uungy, its not a matter of days, but we will try our best to satisfy one by one every one.. (if such thing is possible)

Best regards

Jean Marc

JM, let me point out a few things.

I have registered an account at Casino770 and tried to redeem the FREE money but unfortunately till this very moment, my account still shows 0.00.

It's written very clearly and very BIG in the promotions area that all you have to do is write to [email protected] with the promotional code "Goodgame" and we'll get the free money within 10 MINUTES!!!

That is unfortunately not entirely true as I have waited for at least more than 48 hours since I first sent the email to them and have not even received a reply or anything!

Perhaps you could tell me and everyone here what's going on?

Dear Winbig,

1. Sorry i got another job Usually CasinoMeister used to mail me when a complain was received.. UUngy took that job - And again, feel free to mail me anytime at [email protected]

2. Well, this matter is fixed as well, the notification was on the website
www.casino770.us

As you can read :

Now i guess we can argue forever about whats the good solution to advise a customer about notifications, i am open to debate anytime.

Best Regards

Jean Marc

Thanks for your reply in this matter, but:

1: You never responded to anyone for months on end via email nor PM's
2: I understand dropping USA players, but I for one was never notified. I wish I had exact dates, but I was still able to log into my account, so this was definitely pre-UIGEA.
3: See #1

Have a good one Glad to see you back.

Hi

Really its ok to be confused, no problems - i am sure we will all succeed to get something out from this

Casino770 is actually following the orders of Adictel to help compulsive players.
If Adictel wants us to close or limitate an account following a complain, we have to do it, we signed a contract for it.

Casino Partouche is only play for fun now - therefor doesnt need the use of Adictel for its Online operations (but uses adictel for its land based operations)

FairPlayers opened its new service to actually look up software sources, check up payouts and give their validation of software - it was an opening,we jumped on it But indeed, we are in contact with TST Global to make a good playtech like certification - Its gonna take a little while, but its gonna be done and ill be proud to put it here first - Also next week ill contact Casino RIVA (Malta using our software) - to check if they can send us the agreement they have with the LGA that ISAAC Random generation can be used in Malta - But sadly Casino770 wont be able to put this certification on its website, because Casino770 is not licensed in Malta - it will be between lets say you all / us

See you

Jean Marc

I am confused too!

If adictel=casino770 but not partouche, why did Fairplayers.com take you to Partouche.com (they have now changed this, and fairplayers has its own site back up, stange it has been changed since it was pointed out here!)

Also if the LGA commision have checked the fairness, I would have that plastered on your site, not the baseless unbiased fairplayers.

 

[JM-Partouche]

Sorry for the thread

One last thing.


Adictel is used for instance by 888 and Sportingbet - its a service to help compulsife players.

Also preventively i asked the customer service to give out on my budget to the people that got your familly name (got it from the casino770 account chuchu59) 10$ - tell if me it worked.

I couldnt go without finishing my replies, it would have been a little disrepectfull and im orry about it

Also whenever you have a complain about us, do not hesitate , MAIL ME, use the complain button of Brian, mp me (ill try to find back my pass ), do what is necessary - its always a pleasure

I am non the wiser

Casino770 is actually following the orders of Adictel to help compulsive players.
If Adictel wants us to close or limitate an account following a complain, we have to do it, we signed a contract for it

Why would a Casino bind itself to a group it had no affiliation with and give it complete control over their operations unless legally bound to do so?
What does the casino get out of this contract other than a warm glow from this philanthropic gesture?

Is casino770 part of the partouche group or are Fast_cpu the software providers part of your group?

I assume you are saying that because casino Riva uses Fast_cpu software and is licensed in Malta that Casino770 software is trustworthy by default but you do seem to understand the need to be independently audited and RNG tested.That is good.


I still do not understand the connection between fairplayers and Adictel either they seem to be odd bedfellows.

Sorry if I sound cynical and kudos to you for taking the time to explain and help out some of the other members in this thread.

One last thing JM can you tell me how your slots work.
With previous software I have played the slots have virtual reels with a set amount of symbols on each reel and the order never changes.
With your software I did not see the same order of symbols appear reappear on any reel.
Are the symbols generated randomly or are the reels just very very long?

Happy New Year to you too.
Thanks

4th message from aka23

Well sadly the guy is an affiliate, so mainly i can redirect him to his affiliate manager, to check on the website again and see if the warning can be removed - which i will do, lets try to be fair and square

[aka23 - Maybe indeed you and your account manager (whoever he is) can revise this situation and indeed talk about it]
...

I send to the Account Manager of "aka23"

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

his request about the Warning - to see if we can work review the situation.

Based on comments in this thread, it sounds like the warning is still accurate. If the related issues are resolved, then I will update or remove the warning. The 3 main components are:
1. Disproportionately large number of disputes for a casino of this size
2. Software issues, like the ones SlotsWizard described a few pages back
3. Players have reported highly improbable win/loss results

 

[JM-Partouche]

Hi aka23

1. 2. and 3. - This is completely understandable - The good point is that you are ready to review the situation at some point in time - which is good - remember that you can keep in touch with me with "situations" in email (its everywhere)

Best Regards, and happy new year to you aka23

Hi Rusty,

Well you know in business, i am confused as well

Anyways - Casino770 is indeed following the orders of Adictel to help compulsive players - you can try by yourself, send a mail to them, give them your account and tell that your spending is not controlled correctly, and mainly i will get virtually slapped (not me personally, but i guess some guy at the risk management)

Now - Why is that ?

Simply, because in France (mainly), we have a huge social history, we help people, and that if you get adictel, it is a big plus, it means that your Casino is actually one serious Casino on the French speaking market. Its a little like casinos that gets Ecogra on the UK market (something else in the list yes !)

So mainly we give control over the players operations (non showing them any financial details, or game details) - because they actually represent the people playing on our Casino. Again, we got to treat our players as we would like them to treat us. If a player feel his spending is out of control on Casino770, he will contact Adictel, that will mainly ask us to limit / or close his account (for 7 days minimum), if we do not, we loose Adictel, its all over the french news (Thanks to Adictel media power), basically its over ! - See here i gave a good tip for online operators wanting to do the french market

Adictel does this for Online gambling, but as well for online Gaming (WoW !), land based casinos, Tobacco, Drugs, Alcohol, Eating disorders, Instant messenger addiction, s?x addiction.. the guys are big. They even developped a system to check someone is really 18 online (we aim to try that somedays)

So mainly, financially its indeed a loss, but wed rather prefer loosing a client out of control in its spending that loosing most of our french speaking market because we didnt follow adictel guidelines - well i hope you understood, and i really hope its clearer for you - my apologies if its not..

As for casino770 fastcpu partouche etc

Mainly Casino770 started it all, back 10 years ago (or so!), then the software evoluted quickly into something interesting others Casinos, Fast CPU got created, which acts independently - ACF-WEBMASTER was created for following the affiliates needs, same it acts independently, and actually it will soon get other casinos that fast cpu ones, Casino Partouche is a client but removed its Casino (and Poker) internet online operations, to (wild guess) actually apply for an actual French Casino License for its online operation, and should be back mid-feb.

so lets summarize :

Partouche is not owning Casino770.
Casino770 is not owning Adictel nor Fairplayers.
ACF Webmaster is an independant affiliation plateform owned by the 770 Group.
FastCpu is now independant , but was originally created by the programmers of the Casino770 Software.
Adictel/Fairplayers is a french company that helps out addictions.

--
Sorry if I sound cynical and kudos to you for taking the time to explain and help out some of the other members in this thread.

Really please do not worry about this

--
I assume you are saying that because casino Riva uses Fast_cpu software and is licensed in Malta that Casino770 software is trustworthy by default but you do seem to understand the need to be independently audited and RNG tested.That is good.
--

Indeed, its for the sake of Casino770 - I also even recommand for Casino770 to obtain a European License, and its progressing.. but again its a slow and long process (all that involves lawyers and money mainly !)

--

Here - i am sorry i dont understand the question, just because my english is not that good

more exactly that part :

And so it is clear that at no time has anyone in these organizations used a database of problem gamblers to market a gambling product?

 

[SlotsWizard]

7th message - SlotsWizard

For his problem, i would need his specific username on the casino to forward to the technical departement to make a checkup with the games he actually played - as you must know casino policies, we can check players enguiries only with their statistics in our databases (photoshopping is so easy).

I don't have an account there, nor do I plan on opening one up. I was playing in free mode. If you actually think I went to the trouble to photoshop it, you can see for yourself by playing the game in free mode as I did.

As for the payout percentage, this one got to be calculated on a few many hands to be known rightfully - since the video pokers follow the vegas poker rules (random) - and unlike slots are not using what we call cycles, the percentage will indeed vary a lot if you play just a few hands - this relates to the ISAAC random generator, and again if you wish to get a few tests on millions of hands - it would be with pleasure (might take about a week to find you this)

Please don't insult my intelligence. I did not post the return % I experienced from the few hands I played in free mode. What I posted was the long-term theoretical return of the paytable. These results can be verified by using video poker analysis programs such as

or

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

.

Mainly here, id need your Casino username to check up your little problem/outcomes with the poker - send it to me in email - i will straight forward it to the technical notice, with an URGENT notice

Again, I only played in free mode (which requires no account registration) and the same results can be experienced by simply opening free-play mode yourself. The steps to recreate it are very simple:

1. Go to

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

2. Click on "Instant Play Version"
3. Click on "Play Money"
4. Click on the "Video Poker Games" category
5. Enter the "Texas Hold Em" game
6. Select a coin size
7. Place a bet

Your software gives the impression that little, if any, debugging took place, and hardly any attention was paid to detail. Some of the sound effects were ripped off from Microgaming software.

You can't just throw something together and deploy it in the hopes of raking in the Euros as quickly as possible - things like this take time. Hire a decent programmer or something.

One last thing...

video pokers follow the vegas poker rules (random) - and unlike slots are not using what we call cycles

Did you just admit that your slots are rigged?

 

[Zoozie]

.. since the video pokers follow the vegas poker rules (random) - and unlike slots are not using what we call cycles
Jean Marc

Did you just admit that your slots are rigged?

I agree with Slotwizard. It is misleading to call them slots then.

Thanks for that information, it was probably more than you intended to give. And Vegas slots does also not use ''Cycles'. The LV video-slots uses random non-weighted reels. This information is available IGT that produces some of the most popular video-slots or Wikipedia. But cycles have been used in AWP/"Fruit slots" and not in normal slots.

You saved me from having try the slots (in fun mode) since they not really are slots anyway.

 

[winbig]

2. Well, this matter is fixed as well, the notification was on the website
www.casino770.us

As you can read :

That's fine and all, but why weren't players emailed?

Nevermind really, it's a moot point. I think you have bigger problems to explain, judging by the previous posts...

and omg, I just looked at the free play mode....
Doesn't MG have a copyright on their lobby layout?

FWIW: Here's the place where they got their games. Outdated URL (Invalid)

 

[uungy]

Just recieved an email back from LGA

The System Review for certification does not include software testing. However with respect to the RNG used by the licensee, the Authority requires a certificate from an independent certification entity stating that the RNG is truly random.

This doesnt resolve this at all, in fact cofuses it alot.

LGA are a very reputable licensee, I have used them in the past, and they really do have powers over their licensed companies, however this only really seems to be for the financial side, ie refusal of payments etc. They resolved my dispute extremely well (in my case I got the money within 24 hours of them saying I was in the right, which I think is what they have to do), however when it comes to testing I think they rely on third parties, which doesnt really put much credit on the software.

I have sent them a follow up query requesting the company who tested the software, and will post the follow up

 

[ugaboga]

I am always intrigued by French operations, being a francophile and all So I decided to download Casino770, being a French operation.

The software is an absolutely disgrace, the GUI (user interface), is a culimation of copies from Playtech and Microgaming. The slots also use similar game and audio themes. Even the layout of the slots are extremely similar to those of MG.

It's quite a sad state for a French company to use non-inspiring software like that which is being utilised by Casino770. The French have always been leaders in innovation and technology. I can confirm this by looking at my collection of Citron's! When I look at my Citron Desse, I am reminded of just how unique and innovative the French are! (not to mention how inspiring their designs are!)

I'm sure Patrouche can do better!

 

[Rusty]

Thanks JM,

I received an email explaining that I had received a free chip to the value of 20 for casino770 which was generous as the promotion was for only 10.
So a good way to playtest the slots in real money mode without risk.

The software is very sloppy with no consistency between the interfaces used in the slot layouts.
It is difficult to see just how much you are staking at times and the payline diagram obscures the reels as they spin
It seems they do not have set reels and each symbol is generated (who knows how) and they certainly do not have the feel of proper slots
In the lobby I could not see anyway easy way to check my balance and I had to load up a slot before I realised I had credit.
It does feel like this software has been tacked tied and taped together and I would not dream of depositing to play the slots there.

JM_Partouche has been very responsive to most of the issues raised here so I can not say that Casino770 is rogue but for such a large operation their software is quite amateurish and as Lojo and Uungy have pointed out there are still some very serious issues that need to addressed
