I moved the money to the safe so I could take it out and play it at my leisure. My playing habits and strategies may not be the same as yours but it's not an uncommon practice at 3Dice. People use the safe to store winnings and take smaller amounts out to play with. It's not an unacceptable practice.
People will see what they want to see. Maybe what you see is wrong. What I see is you siding with the casino in pretty much every complaint I've ever read. Maybe what I see is wrong. But I guess we all have our own way of perceiving things.
I'm not sure what you think was recycled. I put the money in all at once and took it out a little at a time. I lost it all and then noticed that it didn't count toward vip. This is a new rule. A rule I knew nothing about and assumed nobody else did either. A new unannounced rule warrants a discussion. Just like someone's birthday warrants a discussion or help with a scanned picture warrants a discussion or a joke or a movie. People are welcome to read every title or the first paragraph of every thread started here and if they have no interest they are just as welcome to move along. As for "several" posts, as long as people continue to discuss it or give their opinions I see no reason not to remain in the discussion. Especially when the new posts are directed to me. Or should I have started the thread and ended the first post with "Ok, discuss this amongst yourselves?"
Again you mention recycling money. No money was recycled. If I had not made a deposit in 6 months it would and should have changed nothing. There was a single gift to my account. I played that money, won more money with it and put the lump in my safe to play later. That is not abuse. That is a general practice. You also seem to be under the impression that the only reason people don't deposit at casinos is because they can't afford to. It doesn't matter if it was me or anyone else and it doesn't matter if I deposited every day or haven't done so in a year. The gift was real money that did not belong to the casino before it was sent to me and did not belong to the casino after it was sent to me. With that real money I won more. I know it's surprising but it does happen once in a while. Now this being a "real" casino, the money I won with the gift is also supposed to be real money. Real money that belongs to me not the casino. Now I have much more real money and if I decide I want to use that real money to make the monthly deposit that allows me to play vip games it is my choice. It is not abuse. The only difference now is I have to remove it from the casino first. And apparently if I win enough money playing these casino games that I don't have to use my own money to make a deposit that is abuse as well so at some point I have to lose all of my money and then deposit or deposit more than I won? Basically it seems like if you win often enough that you use the casinos money more than your own you eventually get a rap on the knuckles.
Set the rules how you like. Everyone I know is following them. If they change and everyone is aware of the changes everyone will continue following them. Of course you might get some arguments from the "unlucky" people who are bronze 2 and have deposited twice as much as someone who is a "lucky" bronze 3.
Gift.
By the way, you do realize it's probably impossible to maintain a vip level of any kind stricktly off tournament wins? I've managed to win enough on occassion to pay for the vip deposit but nobody I know of ever maintained a vip for any long period of time using only tournament wins and I don't think I need to stress again that money won at the casino belongs to the player. If I have $10,000 cash and 200 of it is in my safe at 3Dice it's still part of my $10,000. It makes no difference how it got there.
You're more than welcome not to agree with it. I take no offence to anyone not agreeing with my opinions. I don't need to be offended to offer my rebuttal. I do love a good debate. I don't even mind being called pedantic.
You're right. Your blonde is coming out. But nobody is holding it against you.
I've made about 1200 posts in this forum and yes, it's true some of them were complaints. I don't think I need offer appologies for giving my honest
opinions. I won't ask for yours if you don't care to read them.
I did deposit "my" 50 bucks. In fact I deposited twice that.
