Well, I wish I had known about this site prior to playing at this casino but live and learn. On January 13 I made a request to withdraw $5000 which I had won playing slots (I was actually up at one point to $20,000 and had made a total of 26 withdraw requests and redeposits prior to my final cashout request). After waiting about two weeks with no cheque, I spoke to customer service who advised me I would not be getting my money as I had "not adhered to bonus rules"...I asked them to explain and they created some cock and bull story about playing 700 + games of blackjack on a slots only coupon (completely untrue btw). I suggested that maybe they check my histroy but they stuck to this story. I also suggested that even if I had played blackjack, the coupon I used was 10 days prior to my cashout request and that, I was in fact using my own money at this point (remember the 26 cash out and reversals?) No movement what so ever and in fact they became rude and insulting. OK, so a PAB was filed here and as expected no response, but not the end of the story. I signed on to my account on 29 of January to note in my account history that two "deposits" were attemped using my credit card (obviously I would not be stupid enough to play here again so I inquired with customer service what these were related to?) I was advised that they were depsoits from the 14 of January that were just late in being run through (give me a break....anyone who used a Mastercard knows authorization is instant and certainly doesnt take 15 days!!) I suggested to the customer service rep that Cool Cat was attempting to run my card without authorization and given my past experience this wouldnt come as a surprise to me. She stuck to her story but surprisingly enough when I tried to sign onto my history again all records had completely vanished!! Fortunately I was able to contact my card issuer and have a new card sent out. I was also able to get ALL deposits reversed so even though I dont have my winnings at least these bastards don't have any of my credit card deposits either. It seems like there is absolutly nothing that can be done with these rouge casinos. Given this experience I will never play online again anywhere and will stick to land-based casinos. Thanks casinomeister for your help to resolve this....
 
They sent me a free chips recently. I won a little with it. Not much, since the max cashout was 100$. Next thing I know my account is locked.

Even 100$, they will do anything to avoiding paying.
 
Just wanted to mention that we tried to contact these guys weeks ago about this complaint and it went nowhere. Rogues do as Rogues are.
 
Hello ranham;216559!
Sorry your story is pretty typical.. I do not think anyone
can do much to help.. However: the one person who has ever
helped me resolve issue with my own account was the Club Player
Manager: Cynthia. She helped me resolve a problem with a
Cool Cat account.. this was over a year ago, but I still
see her name on promo emails.

You can try to catch her in live chat or email
support to her attention. If anyone can help it
is her, but I would not expect too much. I would
go at her in a hurt, loyal player sort of way for the best results .. ;)

GOOD LUCK and I am sorry this happened to you and so many others :puke:
 
Cool Cat is scum. Their sister Club Player stole $50k from me. Search the forums for the incredible story if you feel like reading an incredible true story of casino BS.
 
I should add that I had very ugly dealings with "Cynthia" but I hope you get better results. Both Bryan and I couldn't even get her to respond professionally to our complaints.
 
My guess is that the likelihood of Manager Cynthia to resolve a non-payment complaint is inversely proportional to the size of the amount of money involved (i.e., $50K complaint = ignore).
 
Well I think $5000 = ignore as well. I sent Cynthia a very respectful email and have not even gotten the courtesy of a reply. I just think the only way to send a clear message to these people is to make sure that everyone knows what a group of scum the Virtual Casino Group is and to ensure that no one ever plays at any of their sites again. Casionmeister has a list of them all in the Rogue Casino list......lets put these people out of business once and for all.

I am sorry for you ranham.. I did notice the day I posted
my original suggestion that Cynthia logged in here at Casino Meister..
and presumably read this thread.... so she is a member here.

The horrible thing is that these group of casinos get so many newbies
with all their free chips :( I wish I had some suggestions for
everyone who was mistreated by these RTG casinos. The only thing
I can say is that there are good casinos out there... 99% of which
are NOT RTG

Sorry again to everyone :(
 
You are right

RANHAM,

I am only in here because you do have a valid complaint, and I am very sorry for this mistake. I have reviewed your account though, and you are being a little dishonest. You did play 845 hands of Blackjack on a slots and keno only bonus. The bonus coupon that you redeemed was...

240% BONUS
Slots and Keno ONLY!
NO Playthrough
NO Max Cash-Out
Redeem: 240ACROBAT
Deposit $100 or More
(Redeem Unlimited Times)

Deposit:
$50+ and get 50% INSURANCE
$100+ and get 100% INSURANCE
$250+ and get 150% INSURANCE
$500+ and get 250% INSURANCE

This coupon was written exactly as you see it here on the promo you received. The reason that I am saying that we did make a mistake though, is that you did not win anything on Blackjack. All of you winnings came from slots, and you in fact lost over $1,400 playing Blackjack during this whole session. Due to this, I replaced the $5,000, minus the $600 in bonus money, and requested the $4,400 out as a withdrawal for you. But, from this point forward, in order to avoid these types of problems in the future, if a bonus says slots and keno only.. PLAY ONLY SLOTS AND KENO!

As I said, there is a $4,400 withdrawal pending in your account for you now. I will be talking to the accounting manager about this on Monday, and hope to have your withdrawal approved and sent to you within the next week.

I apologize for any inconvenience, and wish you the best of luck in the future.

Sincerely,

Chris
CoolCat Manager
 
A nice surprise from Cool Cat Casino

Well Chris I must say that I am very pleasantly surprised by this. I will take your word that this withdrawl will be processed ASAP. I am still not convinced about the Blackjack however I am glad to see that you at least listened to part of my arguement and I think that $4400 is fair all things considered. I hope that this is the start of Cool Cat Casino getting off the rogue list as I have always said, that t was my favourite place to play.
 
While I'm surprised that the manager did not void the player's winnings, it bears saying that this is NOT the beginning of Cool Cat turning over a new leaf.

This is an attempt to save face and lure more new players into the abyss which calls itself The Virtual Group.

...but s/w dont you think chris did the right thing, he could have said screw the player but he did have the guts to come on here and make it right with the player. i for one think he made a good move on his part and the casino he represents but hell what do i know its just my own .02 cents. im happy the player is getting paid and isnt that the idea?, just one word of advice dont play it out and let us all know how it all goes.....laurie

Honestly, I think the manager went above and beyond in this particular case. But I also think that $4400 is a small price for them to pay if players see this as a sign that the casino is a safe one to play at, and then proceed to do so.

For every player who complains here and has a favorable outcome, there are probably many more who silently get screwed out of their winnings.
 
Well, knowing I will get shot down in flames, since October 07 I have had over $4000 in withdrawals paid to me with no issues whatsoever from The Virtual Casino. I have paid in far less too. So until they try and rip me off, I have no reason to leave them.

That is great to hear Demon!! :thumbsup: I do not think anyone will shoot you down...
It is just that Many people here at Casino Meister have seen awful things from
Virtual Casinos.. they just want people to beware and save someone
else from having the problems they have had. (Virtual Casino itself is the worst in my opinion)

I also have cashed out at Club Player and Cool Cat.. (not fast and not in the last year)
but I know there are so many better casinos out there.. We just do not want to see you back at CasinoMeister with a
horrible post saying how you won and are not getting paid.

I know you have had good experiences but for your own sake remember:
Casinos are not placed on the rogue list at Casino Meister,
and all over the web, without good reason. (USALLY MULTIPLE REASONS)


That said: play where you want and GOOD LUCK!!:D
 
One of those withdrawals was for a fraction over $2000 and it was paid in full in one go.

Don't worry, I will swallow my pride and let you know if that happens and you can all laugh and say you told me so:).

In fact I currently have a small withdrawal request in at the moment. Should be $350 once the bonus is removed. I am not expecting it for another week or so, but then again I am aware of their stated rules and don't expect it too much quicker. If I had a problem with the length of time, I simply wouldn't play there.

Good luck with yours, incidentally I have never played at Cool Cat.

I would never laugh at you.. I would feel sick! BUT You would be suprised how much more fun it is to win and get paid in a day or 2..

Try a Rival casino if you are bored with RTG.. they have better bonus
terms.. all deposit bonus is cashable with no max cashout. They give
frequent freebies for depositors.. comp points have no max cashout and no playthrough.. all my cashouts are 24-48 hours to Quicktender.

Many players here at CasinoMeister love 3Dice.. I have not tried them personally, but heard they pay SUPER FAST.

Again.. play where you want but GOOD LUCK and remember to cashout:lolup:

(Personally I have been cursed out by Mr. Virtual Danny himself and
hate that casino.. try any other casino than Virtual.. PLEASE :notworthy )

I understand you but keep your deposits on the low side and try not to leave your account with any balances over $100. If you want to play make sure that you are paid fully before depositing again. Never be tempted by massive bonuses to reverse your withdrawals. Good Luck.
