Connect To Casino....Do Not Play

[jpm]

Caruso, you are right on the mark with this one. Bethug, you are doing a bit of what you are accusing the casino of doing. You led us to believe that connectocasino STOLE $100 from your credit card. You didn't make it clear that this was $100 you deposited at destinationpoker that came thru on the bill as being from CTC. They didn't steal anything from you, you gambled it and lost, and they perhaps lied about their affiliation with CTC, seems like the jury is still out on that one.

I just looked up the whois information on the owners of these 2 domains, and they are totally different. Their name servers are totally different as well. Their IP addresses (ping connectocasino.com and ping destinationpoker.com) are different. The two IP addresses are, however, hosted by the same company (Everyones Internet, Inc.) using the same subnet. But then again, so are over 8000 other IP addresses, so thats not conclusive either. That their email header says it comes from CTC isn't totally conclusive, since it could be one central email server that this internet company is using and the dns entry was the first done and therefore comes back as CTC.

They may have lied about their affiliations, but they did not steal anything from you. You need to supply all of the relevant facts when you accuse someplace of being thieves.

It think u need to re read my post jpm, for one.
Connect2 casino denies any thing to do with destination poker and that is who is on my statement right now. Since u have nothing to do with destination poker , why are they on my statement. and if you calle the 1800 number it connects to connecto casino and not destination poker, but the same person will pic up. I have no reason to mis lead any one. I was mislead to think that destination poker had nothing to do with connect to casino.

We sought clarification on this email header thing, and whilst Jeffrey Wallace did not answer that directly other than saying they have the same host he did give the additional tidbit of information that Connect To Casino "lent us a helping hand" at one time. This is, if memory serves me correctly a similar line to that taken by Cirrus when its relationship with Virtual was being questioned.

Bethug,

the gripe that you do have is that you asked them if they had any sister casinos. If they had answered yes, connectto, you would not have deposited.

They said no. So you deposited. You are chagrined about being lied to, since you would not have chosen to play there if they were sisters. I agree with that. You do have a right to know this. You did call them thieves, which they are not. They may be liars though, for all we know. In any case, I doubt they will give you $100. Even though in real life their lie may have been considered false advertising.

Ok, so maybe they are not sisters. I am still kind of suspecting that they may temporarily share a licence as well as some other stuff since Destination is so new.

Caruso, you make an excellent point also. It's the old thing about crying wolf - if you cry wolf too often when there is no wolf, then no one will pay attention to you when there really is one. It is wise to investigate thoroughly before going off.

Bryan, I am also aware of these type connections. I find them not limited to RTG though. I've stumbled across this elsewhere when there was trouble.

Marco - I thought you had already sent Caruso your italian version of things, and he read it and answered it. Persistence can be a virtue - but you also got to know when to fold'em. And it's time. If you keep running around the internet writing about connectto eventually no one will believe anything you say.

 

[bethug]

dom , i still see about 3 people getting jack around from them, and one i know

 

[dickens1298]

And I know one of them was just recently resolved. Marco's issue is in a category unto itself...

I write becouse I am convinced that they must to me my winnings. (4000)

And more the bonus of the promotion of WU (10300)

They are in the midst of working on the new complaint section. In the meantime use this URL Link Removed ( Old/Invalid)

Please let me know how this goes.

I have send the form the day 26st May 2004 but up to now without answer

Well, with wol being down I haven't been back there. These threads are getting very convoluted. For every one note someone leaves, Marco leaves three or more. There are a number of threads going at the same time. It is getting to be difficult to keep track of any real issues. They may have totally slipped past me.

Who is not getting paid, Bethug? Do you have some facts to share?

 

[marcolino]

Marco...

Excuse me Dominique but I don't know what is your problem

 

[dominique]

Never mind Marco, there is no point in repeating myself - again.

It appears that Pokermike and ohdreampop got paid.

That leaves marco's complaints and bethugs complaints about non-disclosed pertnership between two casinos.

 

[bethug]

dom read these post at wol

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

It might be a whole bunch of people gettig jack around, Alot of people dont visit forums.

Look what swim said. that is bull crap if i ever seen it.

 

[caruso]

That WOL thread is so full of incorrect statements, outright supposition and general nonsense from all concerned it's really not worth commenting on.

 

[dominique]

Well, I am going to sit back and watch for a while before commenting again.

Excuse me ,

how many time need Disputes of RTG for one answer?

 

[marcolino]

Excuse me ,

how many time need Disputes of RTG for one answer?

yesterday after beyond two weeks the answer of disputes has arrived that says:

"We understand your urgency, but it can take up to several weeks to work
through this whole process. Please be patient while we work to resolve
this issue. Thanks.

The Player Dispute Team"

Well - I will wait for...we hope that connectocasino it does not close before

 

[marcolino]

A question: if connectocasino between little time it is closed... What can I make for my disputes with they?

 

[marcolino]

One problem more about connectocasino/portofino/hampton

At:

Link Removed ( Old/Invalid)

Say:

-"THIS IS A WARNING ABOUT PORTOFINO CASINO & THE SISTER SITE HAMPTON CASINO.

Do not deposit at these casinos they do not pay their winners. I have been lied to and messed with for almost 2 months about a cash in I had.

They also lured me in by opening an account for me at Portofino Casino using my Hampton Casino Account number only adding a B at the end. They included this information in a email they sent me with a deposit promo in it. I took them up on the promo and I cashed out 1500 dollars but now they say I have multiple accounts which I
DO NOT. They also locked my account which also had over 300 dollars in it.

Deposit at these casinos at your own risk, but I would not expect to be paid if you win. Just like THE VIRTUAL CASINO group.. "-

another history similar to your history:

Say:

-"Can anyone help me out with these guys. They accepted my PrePaid ATM deposit and will not credit my account!!! "-

 

[caruso]

I'm starting to rethink my position here. I'd had almost a year of trouble-free play, regular payments when I won (I've lost many times but am currently ahead) and accountable owners. Things now seem to be taking a turn for the worse.

 

[jpm]

Portofino is turning into quite the rogue, they simply refuse to pay legitimate winnings. They have repeatedly lied to both my and Bryan regarding my cashin, and I'm waiting for RTG to resolve this for me. Unfortunately for Portofino, I have screenshots of the logs to prove my case. They will be hard pressed to refute them without modifying the logs, which would gain them immediate rogue status I would hope!

Have you change your opinion about connecto/portofino/hampton/DP ?

 

[bethug]

connect to casnino and there sister casinos , play way to many games

 

[jpm]

Have you change your opinion about connecto/portofino/hampton/DP ?

I don't think I had a positive opinion about them, and the only one I ever played at was portofino. They were ok a couple of years ago, didn't give me any troubles when cashing in then, but they definitely SUCK now!

 

[caruso]

Is anybody currently getting ANY kind of a response from these people? They've totally dried up on me. Both Vince and John used to reply in timely fashion - I can't get anything from either of them now. At least in terms of my own experiences here this has suddenly taken a worrying turn for the worse. They seem to have all completely vanished.
