we should have a new thread every month for all "bad" casinos. keeping the stories of slow- or non-payment and other issues wrt certain groups of casinos current will reinforce the fact that they are rogue or at least dangerous. someone who is unaware of the lack of integrity within gambling (the "mark" at a carnival game which is obviously rigged or near impossible, the "n00b" to online gambling), who gets shafted at such a place, googles "crystal palace steal money" will get linked to casinomeister and subsequently become a jedi. when it is playing online you wish, careful you must be. if we daren't speak a rogue's name just because his name is listed in the rogues' gallery, how can we spread word of his roguedom? this isn't a gay relative we should try to sweep under the carpet and pretend we never heard of. this board's job is to keep people informed of all the goings-on at all sorts of casinos, good and bad.

^^that's poetry there, man! and about the gay relative bit further up, i have a gay relative but i'm saying it here without apprehension, no biggie for me, he's just like the rest of my family in every other way so it's nothing to sweat. don't be ashamed anybody, especially these days you have less and less to worry about reactionally. acceptance of alternative lifestyles is ever rising, and i think somehow science is allowing lesbians to mate and have a biological daughter with a regular pregnancy. (paper scissors rock/ ro-sham-bo ya for it?) like i said in politically incorrect section, i can make a joke because i don't have the prejudice required to load the words with hate, or that's my take on it at least. i don't hate anyone!
however on this particular subject i do feel there are too many babies without parents and homes that those who cannot naturally produce children (homosexuals and infertiles/steriles alike) should not be using artificial help to create more babies. with fertility drugs also, more eggs are often fertilized, resulting in the side effect of multiples, many of which are often terminated during the pregnancy. subjecting ourselves to these conditions is unnatural and unnecessary given that there are so many young people who never had a chance to have a home with loving parents and may never yet get that chance, and the life they might have had, had they had that, is too much to overlook. even in the event i can phyically create children (admittedly i'd like to create a child of my own, but if i couldn't i could live with that, i'm young yet anyhow, a green 22), i am stongly considering adoption as well, given i can afford to take on a child. whenever thinking about a child, i will consider adoption each time. and if i decide i can't afford to physically adopt any children, at the least i will pay the $250 annually to sponsor one in a developing country.
unless all the countries "develop" by like 2015, maybe they won't need it. who knows, maybe world peace will come and charity can provide for all the world's needy. in the words of stephen colbert: "astronomers have discovered an earth-like planet in another solar system, drive those hummers all you want folks". that's promising, the rich can fly away to live on another planet, and indeed the meek shall inherit the earth! religion is cool to study but imo not to follow, there are too many views on it and no "one true way" like science always boasts of having. not that i'm a huge fan of science either. some of it is also fudged bollocks, like remember when the earth was flat? or when human flight without a lighter-than-air balloon was physically impossible?
anyways, hope i've derailed this enough that dc backs off. who gives a crap what this guy does with his money? no one person's vote counts, especially when the balance does not remotely hang. it has been said here by da_gambla iirc that the entire meister community uniting to boycott any rogue casino will only have the support of those who read here, and who represent probably <1% of those bad casinos' customer bases anyway. they will stay in business no matter what we do, no one's goal here is to shut down any casino, we simply can't do it. we can expose frauds, chide word wizardry wrt t&c's, warn sternly about questionable operations, laud and promote class operations, but we can't do anything to cut off a casino's resources completely or force anyone to conform to any sort of promise. people play where and what they want, ignorant or not. you could argue to boycott slots because they offer ten times the edge of blackjack and it's "throwing your money away" to play them. whatever it's all subjective.
we've heard all the sides on this and are just flogging an expired nag at this point. d_g, who is wise, has already spoken to shut it down, and dc persists. this thread is dead but threads like it are useful and have a place here imo. cheers and let's not fight any more. kakata we wish you well and hope you come back with some winning shots/stories in the future, or any other tit-bits you can contribute. good day, au revoir, auf wiedersehen, arrividerci, hej da, sayonara, tyek it easy mon!
edit: oops, a whole page of tort and retort while i wrote this. that's too bad. i'm waiting for dc to come back with "don't start suckin each others' cocks just yet boys"
