I saw this online and wondered if it was up and running in memory of Julie....

Yes,this site has been up and running for some time. Julie was well and truly a champion for all online players. She is sorely missed.

I miss Julie too. I think Casinomeister has kind of taken up her mantle. Casinomeister is the most respected watchdog in the industry now.

Thanks!

The site is being operated by Julie's husband, who is an equally kind and respected person - and is definitely a good site for handling complaints.

We all miss Julie very much but she certainly remains in my memories and I am sure she is watching over players from high above

 

[slotchik]

yes, she is.....she was simply wonderful!

That's odd. I just did it no problem...

Sorry for bumping an old thread but anyone know what has happened to that site?

They have been offline for some time now.

C'mon now, a 9 year old thread?

C'mon now, a 9 year old thread?

If I had created a new thread ppl would complain and say there is already one just search and if I would bump a thread ppl would complain about that.

It's a damn if you do and damn if you don't.

Maybe someone can tell you what did happen to that site. Gl

Julie Sidwell was the first player advocate that worked for gambling.com back in the day. The section of gambling.com that dealt with complaints was called "Gambling Grumbles". She worked there for a few years until she left (in 2002 I think), and was hired on at eCOGRA as their first Player Advocate (what Tex Rees does now). Sadly, Julie passed away shortly after being hired.

The Gambling Grumbles that you are referring to was started up by her husband, Herb, who was a really great guy, but it fell by the wayside. I believe he died of cancer as well.

The "new" Gambling Grumbles that people refer to today is a different website. It's run by the original owner of gambling.com (Graeme Levin), and it deals strictly with casino complaints.

As an admin note, please don't hesitate to start new threads instead of bumping up a really old one. Thanks!
