Now I may
seem to be all knowing - but I am not. Sometimes I know more than others simply because I "know" people in the industry (managers, owners, current and ex-employees) who can give me scraps of info to piece together.
Many of these RTG casinos use the same offices, the same support, the same managers - but yet they try to obscure all of this as if they have something to hide. This is what is bogus.

Remember Cirrus? Bryan was flat out convinced they were associated to Virtual. Subsequently it transpired they were not.
I was NOT wrong concerning Cirrus. Cirrus had all the earmarks of being a casino from the "Virtual" clan. They were on Prism's server, the emails were coming from Prism Casino, the download was from prismcasino.com, the traffic stats were on Virtual's account, etc. I even reported this on last June 4th's webcast and provided a screenshot of their traffic stats to prove my point:

Now I was careful to say they "probably are" one in the same, not "are" one in the same - because in this business, you just never know. You may have evidence that one thing is going on - and yet you may be unaware of other things that "may" be happening.
Supposidly, Cirrus and Prism were clients of Virtual and worked out of the same offices. And as they grew their sea-legs, they moved on (I guess to the offices accross the hall
) I met with the owner of Virtual last January in London who explained some of this, and I get emails from other interested parties who explain other things as well.
What it boils down to is that you never can tell about most of the RTG casinos operating out of CR. I don't know who to trust - and you probably don't know either. I really don't understand what these casinos are trying to hide - everything is so damn secretive. When a MG casino group merges or buys out another, it's pretty much common knowledge and everyone talks about it (Vegas Partners for instance picking up CasinoUS, Cinema Casino, etc.) What is the deal with that?
Bethug has a legitimate gripe. He was lied to. The whole Destination Poker/Connecto "connections" are obvious and should be explained. A player has a right to know who they are making a deposit to - especially if they have strong feelings against the way one group of casinos operate. If Connecto casino wishes to obscure this connection, well then what the hell - they still lied to Bethug.
Caruso, I'm not ragging on you, but you seem to downplay this deceptive activity. If a casino has something to hide, there is probably a good reason for this. All signs point to a common denominator - IP addresses in emails don't lie.
Why the denial? Why not an explanation? Why the BS?
