I can't figure out how 3Dice are deciding what is "abuse", and what is legitimate. It seems skiny IS being accused of something, and was told some while ago that what he was doing was "abusing the system".

Enzo seems to be saying that players are transferring $50 to and from the safe without even attempting to make the 2 comp points every 10 days, yet skiny says that although he used the safe rather than deposit from outside, he moved $100 in to the casino and lost the lot, yet this is also considered "abuse" by Enzo as this is the month he made the change, and would have told players if even ONE "dolphin" got caught in the net.

As for stopping "loopholes", it won't work. This is not about depositing $50 from Skrill, playing a couple of token spins, and withdrawing, say, $49 or $51 back to Skrill to buy a month of VIP tournaments, which WOULD cause processing charges to be levied on the player for not properly risking the $50 deposit. If skiny had known about this, he would have withdrawn the $100 he won from his lucky spell, and redeposited $50 from outside, and maybe another $50. There would have been no grounds to claim this was "abuse" if enough action had been generated in order to win the $100, or when the returning $50 was played and lost. It seems that Enzo IS treating money in the safe as not being the same as money stored in Skrill.

What will happen is that after a big win, players will not put ALL of it in the safe, but will withdraw a chunk that will give them a few months worth of $50 deposits from outside should what they leave behind for further play be subject to such bad luck that they don't make the 2 comp point criteria.

Pretty soon, further rule changes will be needed to prevent a new form of "abuse" from taking hold, the problem being that "abuse" is not being objectively defined, but instead is based on what the casino believes is the intent behind the actions of a player. Players who are unlucky clearly "intend" to qualify under the $50 exception, and will do this from the safe if the option is available (it is easier), but will quite happily deposit $50 from outside if it is not.

A simple way to "game" the new system would be to have, say, $200 set aside in Skrill, and each month deposit $50 from Skrill to the casino, and then move it to the safe. Over 4 months, the whole $200 will sit in the safe. At this point, the player would check that they had made enough playthrough based on $200 of deposits, say $400, and then withdraw the $200 back to Skrill for use over the next 4 months. 4 months of VIP tournaments alone should generate enough playthrough to satisfy requirements on $200 worth of deposits, and may even add to the $200 so that a net win can be withdrawn.

If done properly, this will have the same effect as the recently closed loophole, but will cost the casino an additional cost of processing 4x $50 deposits and 1x $200 withdrawal.

This would entail the need for one new rule after another to keep the $50 exception limited to only those players who deserve it according to 3Dice.

A simpler solution would be to ditch the $50 exception altogether, and manually "opt in" those players that fail to make the 2 comp point criteria, but who are nevertheless considered deserving cases by 3Dice. Unlike an automated system, this could not be manipulated because human judgement could be used on a case by case basis, and any attempts to "game" the system would be spotted. The manual exception could then be "gifted" to qualifying players at the start of every month, so it is seen as a gift from management, not a "right" bestowed through meeting set criteria.

I'm confused about the statement "4 months of VIP tournaments alone should generate enough playthrough to satisfy requirements on $200 worth of deposits". Tournaments do not generate playthrough as they use "fun money".

If you did what you describe, and deposited $200, played it through enough to generate the 2 comp points, moved it back to the safe, and did the same every 10 days, then you would qualify via the minimum playthrough requirement, so how much you deposited or moved or whatever would be immaterial. The problem Enzo is talking about is players getting a gift, playing until they reach $50, moving it to the safe, and then moving it back to their balance to create a "deposit"....whilst all the time having no intention of even attempting to generate the comp points required for normal entry. It is very clear that the $50 min deposit exception was NOT created for players like this, but for players who deposited their $50 and lost it all trying to generate the comp points. The players doing it the other way COULD generate the comp points with their money, they just CHOOSE not to, as it would mean they might LOSE their $50 and they won't be able to "recycle" it for the next month.

I think your idea about manually qualifying those who ARE genuine is a better idea than weeding out those who are NOT, but the volume of manual work might not make this feasible.
 
OK being neutral here. Did he play 100 and lose it- because now the ? is regardless of what he did in past months he did play the min 50 needed - Enzo I see your point. But if safe money is his money and regardless of whose money he started with he turned it into a 100 and lost then he did play 50. or am i still confused?
 
Bryan is right...this thread is now going around in circles and the original reason behind the whole thread has been completely lost!!!
What started this whole thing was skiny saying he wasn't informed of the changes, its as simple as that but has blown into a whole other chitload of crap.
In my own opinion, I don't care if a player plays once a month at a casino or everyday, if the casino makes/has made/or is going to make changes then a player should be informed of those changes no matter what. JMO
Stick a fork in this please :)
 
Your accusations against me skiny are rude and not appreciated and another attempt to take the focus off of what the issue is. :eek: It reeks of another attempt to deflect and for you to gain sympathy. You mentioned facts, well you are the one who hasn't presented all the facts. You posted the things that you thought would make people sympathize with you. You failed to tell the whole story nor about your motivations in how you posted this nor in how you moved money back and forth. You wanted to keep a perk that you weren't entitled to and hadn't been entitled too for a while and you were just mad that it was taken away from you. You manipulated 3 D and you are manipulating people here. You are fogging up the issue on pupose.


Maybe I'm simplifying it too much but why not have it like this in order to remain vip. You deposit 50 per month from outside regular deposit options, you have to play through it at least once. Safe contents, nor gifts, or tourney wins should not in any way count toward keeping your vip.

At best I think this thread should be split into a new thread regarding the VIP status and how it is maintained, etc, etc. You have a great point there bb28 regarding maintaining VIP status :thumbsup:
 
Just because a gift came from inside the casino instead of outside, doesn't make it less real. Just because a money came from a win, it doesn't make it the casino's.

If my real life friend or partner gives me some money, and I choose to deposit it, it's my money and my deposit. I often see people say their spouse gave them some money and they are going to load their cards.

If I deposit $30 and win $10K, and I play it all back, that does make me more loyal than the player that deposits $50 and loses it straight off IMO. I don't think I've ever had a big win at 3Dice that I didn't play part of back, and all of it eventually, even though it may have moved out of the casino for a time.

If I deposited $30 and lost 10K back in a session, I'd probably be upset enough WITH MYSELF to not return for a couple of weeks. So I'd fail to generate the necessary comps the following period.

My last two withdrawals at 3Dice were possible through generous gifts from other players. Subsequent deposits have been possible because I withdrew funds, used some of the money for bills or other necessities, played some back after receiving it, and had money available to deposit later because other needs were taken care of.

And I must agree that it was not proper of Enzo to discuss Skiny's prior depositing history without permission. I don't see the discussion of 7 minutes in the safe as a breach, since Skiny brought up the $100 win.
 
Jas I have to agree with you, I did not like the fact that Enzo said that as well. I've played back many and I mean many wins so now I am more confused then ever- I know big shock I'm confused again LOL:D
 
This whole thread and 3Dice is starting to smell like the local bingo gossip club, rather than a casino, to me.

Not to derail, but cripes that was funny! LOL

P.S. no offense to anyone :)

And your typical bonus rant threads are like boy scouts fighting over the potato chips? :what: :p

I agree with Brian, maybe this needs to be closed due to the fact that the subject keeps going in circles, and is getting absolutely nowhere.

True, I would agree with Brian if I knew who he is. But this Bryan thinks this thread has run its course.

Thread "forked".
