Can these casinos force bonus on player?!! even player didnt asked for it..
 
I would try contacting the I-Rep of GR Casino- I'm sure they will work with you

Exactly! But unfortunately some casinos are like that... I contacted their Rep too.
 
If the rep confirms that CS were correct in their decision to breach this standard of accreditation, report the issue to Max and Bryan. If the rep fails to reply, report this also.

This casino looks to be angry after i posted here so not answering.. Contacted the rep too, no answer..
 
THats a pretty major rule breaking there in my opinion for an accredited casino. I would imagine that Bryan will have no choice but to act on this one otherwise it makes a whole mockery of the accreditation rules :confused:
 
Umm...they are supposed to be able to remove it. They know this. Looks like someone in support didn't get the memo :rolleyes:

Curt hasn't logged in for a few days, so I'll email the operator directly.
 
Hi there,

Please could you Private message me your account details so that I may investigate the matter for you asap.

Kind regards,

Curt

Bonus removal

Hi there,

Our Promotional terms and conditions do state the following with regards to players wishing not to receive bonuses:

Terms and Conditions Applicable to Bonuses and/or Promotions
NOTE: If a player does not wish to receive a bonus from the casino, he should inform the support centre via email before he makes a purchase;

As you have not yet started playing the funds, we have removed your bonus of €20.65 in good faith.

Please do not hesitate to contact me directly should you have any concerns going forward.


Kind regards,


Curt
 
Thanks VPL for finally resolving this issue for the player.

Good for you Markus for having the discipline not to begin your play.

But almost a week after depositing is a long time for a player to wait.

If frontline CS can't remove the bonus, make sure they tell the player that they must submit an email request. Not that it just can't be done. You need to update support on your own terms.

Lets make it clear,

You forcing into customers account unwanted bonus then after 1 week struggle you take it away, now you call it "good Faith"....


You should at least open a popup after deposite asking players do they want bonus or not, or before deposite.. you cant just force it into player account your 10% cheap bonus then deny removing it...

ps. yes i forgot to mention your chat closing 3 times the chat on my face each time after getting my detail for varification...

If the removal of bonus was an act of good faith I shudder to think what they would have done if they used 'normal' procedures.

Since a player does not actually "opt in" to this type of bonus before or after depositing, it should be removed on request as a matter of course, not as an act of good faith.

The alternative, as suggested, is to make the player have to opt in to a bonus each time they deposit, perhaps by clicking on an "I accept" button, or filling in a claim form with their account number.

The problem with this ongoing 10%/15% bonus is that it is such a low percentage, yet ties the entire deposit not only into the WR, but all the other restrictions attached to bonuses such as allowed games and max bet.


Provided no play has taken place, front line CS should remove any bonus on request without argument, not subject the player to a week of argument, and having to go over their heads.

It does rather look like it is policy handed down to front line CS from higher up that created this stalemate, and your own statement that you are removing the bonus "in good faith" because the player made such a public fuss over it, suggests that this is actually policy to force a bonus on a player once it is automatically credited.

This is all very well, however it does not meet the standards for accreditation.
 
This is what you can expect for Casino Rewards group. They are the only casino group that I have ever been banned from simply because they said I had to take bonuses including comp points and when I reluctantly played the comps in a manner to LOSE so they would be gone and I would not receive further bonuses or comps (per my email requests, many many times). They suddenly called me a "bonus abuser".
That was strange as I repeatedly asked for no bonuses. Ask for no bonuses, get them anyway, play the bonus and that makes you a bonus abuser with Casino Rewards.

They are bigtime scammers!

Golden Riviera is a Vegas Partner Lounge casino, not CR.
