I've been playing online for about ten years. During that time, I have narrowed down the places I play to MCG sitse as I prefer their software. I currently play at 3 sites.
I did have a problem shortly after the US legislation was passed which prevented us US players from making any deposits for about six months or so. I was a black diamond VIP at GP and was removed from that list by the new VIP manager for not having made any deposits. I explained it was through no fault of my own and he made me a deal. He said if I deposited 10K over the next 3 months he would provide me with a 35% bonus (deposits minus cashins x .35%). I did this and when I notified him, he refused to honor the agreement despite the fact that it was in writing. CM has this complaint listed elsewhere on the site. I also filed a complaint with eCogra who said it was a bonus and they could do whatever they pleased with bonuses depsite having proof by having it in writing. I have totally lost respect for eCogra as a result of this.
Anyway, my main reason for this post is the past three months or so, I have noticed that my play has changed significantly on the MCG sites. Sure there have been times when I hit a legitimate streak of bad luck but that resolves itself - until now.
I find that on all 3 of these sites, 90% of the spins on slots are zero and when I do hit it is usually for less than my wager. On BJ it is astonishing how many times I get pushed when I get a 17 or above and even pushed/beaten with 21's on a 20 or 21. Also the number of "teen" (13, 14, 15 ,16) hands I get is phenomenal and most of the time the outcome of the hand has nothing to do which the choices I make. For example, 90% of the time if I have a 13 (10 and 3) with the dealer showing a 3, I know the next card will be a 10 so I do nothing because I will bust. However this doesnt' help me either as the dealer will have a winning hand regardless. I'm tired of hearing the word "random" because being able to predict that this card will be a 10 is just that predictable NOT random.
Despite changing up my games, wagering amounts, time of day playing, the outcome is the same on all three sites. Because I have played so much and for so long, I tend to notice even small changes in my game play and am beginning to wonder about this "run of bad luck".
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a significant change in their game play such as this since the beginning of the year - perhaps end of last year. First MCG bans US players from progressives, then they won't allow the sitse to accept new US players, now they ban us from new games and as CM has said elsewhere - US players will just have to learn to play elsewhere.
I feel like this is a US account issue - targeted to my account number and as a US player, because if I am going to win (in the past) I would win on whatever games I usually played during that session or would lose on whatever games I played during the session - like whatever was going to happen was an account thing across the board. My payout percentage isn't even near the average (lower) as well and I'm astonished at how my play has so drastically changed during the same time frame on all the MCG sites all in the same way.
Obviously if I contiue to lose I won't be playing which is perhaps just what they want. I wonder if any other US players are experiencing this type of thing?
