Grand Privé wants to get out of the Rogue Pit

[felicie]

I would like to say that I am sorry to hear that this group will not get another chance to try and show good faith. There have been many that went to the wayside that were given multiple chances before being rogued or listed in the not recommended list. What made them so different than this group?

As I said on Friday night, I made a withdrawal of several hundred dollars and it already appeared in my usemywallet account ...It was faster than some accredited casinos. Especially since they do not do withdrawals on weekends and I had to resubmit my docs for updating.

The decision has been made by the powers that be...so be it..sadly excepted...

Dry those tears silc They can show a little more and then get a little more until they get it right I imagine.

I knew you wouldn't fall for their line of BS, Bryan!!!!

Thank You for being "our" Advocate of Fair Play.

:notworthy

Just curious...

Bryan said one of the changes he would like to see with GP would be the use of recognizable popular casino software.

I would think that BetOnSoft is pretty popular with US players? After 3Dice and RTG, BetOnSoft certaintly would be in the top 3? People don't seriously play Rival and Top Game anymore, do they????

And BetOnSoft have about doubled their game selection in the last year. Not to mention the Lucky Creek group (the OTHER half of the BetOnSoft casinos) is a pretty solid operation..

It's ONLY US players that are really targeted with this software, so outside of the US it is not all that "popular".

Provided it passes the criteria for the "popular" brands, such as independent testing for fairness etc, the brand itself should not be a barrier for removal from the pit, or even an accreditation.

The problem here is that GP have not just changed software in an orderly fashion, they "did a runner" from their licensing jurisdiction rather than adhere to the rules regarding a change of software, they breached their contract with Microgaming, LIBELED Microgaming, and chose a new licensing jurisdiction that would NOT call them to account were they to behave in a similar fashion in the future.
It's not a single thing, but a pattern of behaviour, that justifies continued inclusion in the pit.

They will just have to try harder, and ask again next year, and not send a "lackey" to do it for them, but have the owners themselves talk with Bryan.

Bet On Soft is pitiful, small wins, bonus rounds impossible, this software really does suck, perfect for GP to suck the life out of another set of unsuspecting people.

I am guilty as charged. I play at "THOSE" places. I got rid of 3Dice and Inetbet a while ago (months?) Many others also..but those were the worst for me. Because all they did was "suck the life out of you" as me_and_ed quoted

that GP was doing. At GP, I have withdrawan more than I have from the ones I tossed to the wayside, such as 3Dice and Inetbet. So I guess it is, to each their own. I play at both of the off flavour casinos. As you can see, as long as I have been here I have never had to "pitch a bitch". I believe a lot of that has to do with not taking bonuses.

Since I choose not to pour money down a black hole...all in the name of great cs...fast payout etc...what's the point of all this "greatness" when you NEVER get to withdraw?? So, I guess I will take my chances on these off flavour places since I am actually making a few withdrawals in between my deposits unlike before ...zilch withdrawals with over 100 deposits respectively..not once, but hit that mark twice...so ....that was enough for me...

USA players have limited choices...and all casinos know this that continue to serve us. I think that is where the problem lies with the "great" cs and quick payout casinos...they believe we will continue to stare down that black hole...I for one...filled it in and moved on..until things change for the better...I will continue to play at places that give back a fair amount of return in withdrawals...and avoid the black hole casinos until changes come...

Hopefully, I will never need any help..but if so, I can still get my "one free shot" if I ever need it with maxd.

 

[rouletteguy]

yeah give em a chance if they screw it they screw it. make sure players can make small (20 dollar) deposits and see what happens.

 

[peralis]

No, never, what the hell? Why even the consideration? Seriously? After the stunts they pulled? How is this ever an 11 page thread of discussion? NO NO NO!

Would you give Ted Bundy another chance if he said "Sorry"!? (Which Grande Prive to date has not even bothered to do.....)

So.. NO NO NO!!!

Bad - Evil - And things I cannot write....

grand prive

As far as Grand Prive goes...I would vote a weak yes--only because I have not deposited there and do not have that personal experience.
Problem is I consider depositing there because I really enjoy the slot machine and game format.....problem is I do not like to pay in free mode because I do not think is a eal example of how it would play with real money. Trying to get any no deposit bonus that will work is difficult. Even got one in the snail mail recently that won't work.
I guess to sum it up I seriously like the slots and games there---if I could try them out more I may deposit ...carefully....with the knowledge of their reputation.
Hey I am finally posting to the forum:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:
Good luck all!!

Sometimes you get a free chip offer that does not work (I had a few). Just go to live chat and they usually will enter it for you . They will ask which offer it was and what the expiration date is if it has one..if not , you're good to go.

They have been very helpful when I needed to use live chat. Every one of their free chips that were not expired has always been honored for me.

my opnion on grand prive

Well, my email is go***@gmail.com, I live at a frat house, have for a while, so alot of people use computers, on my network. But they have permanently banned me from grand prive, despite the tens of thousands upon thousands of dollars i spent with their group, and I enjoy their group, still to this day, IF I COULD PLAY. They refused to work with me, and someone logged on my network, opened up an account, not even in my name, it was a girl, and I met all their demands, and they denied me from having my account activated. With that being said, I would have to say I don't think they should be removed from the rogue pit, because, their reasoning for why they had banned me, I quoted out of their rules, why they were wrong for banning me, because their own rules clearly stated, I was not in the wrong, so if they can't give a faithful player who truly enjoyed their group of casino's a chance, why should we?

Welcome to the forum.
Posting your email address on a forum is one sure way to get a mass amount of spam email in your inbox.

To err is human to forgive is divine.

You can guess what I voted.

you are human so you probably erred in voting. never mind, i think we both voted for the same side. while past issues are important, i have more confidence in casinos using the mg platform than say rtg. if microgaming can give them some back-up i will have more confidence in them turning over a new leaf.

Grand Prive

Everybody deserves second chance

 

[same_old]

Lol, not when hey don't mind shitting on people.

 

[shirlsplay]

[sideshowsuzy]

I think they should be given a chance but watched really closely. And tell them that if they screw up then back they go.

For what it is worth . . .

I know that Grand-Prive has a less than horrible reputation among affiliates across the globe. After reading some to these posts, it appears that they have failed to pay high sums to several site members.

A few years back, when I was a crazed high-roller online gamer, and they were still Microgaming, I never had any problems with them. Now, as a US Player, they are one of the only non RTG options that I have. I played two separate "free chips" successfully and they cut me a check and I received it within two weeks. It was mailed from Singapore drawn on BofA Shanghai.

I am not an affiliate marketer so I cannot speak regarding that issue but maybe they have new backing?? Who knows? Otherwise, what about the other group of "Bet on Soft" including Bet Big Dollar, Treasure Mile, and the rest.

Are they good with most who post here?

 

[pmutts]

After reviewing the thread closer . . .

I realize I was wasting my keystrokes.

 

[gaf133]

I vote yes give them another chance.
I won $2800 and was Paid.

 

[pmutts]

The poll is closed and the most here despise them . . .

BUT:

I definitely think they deserve probation. In the US we have such a limited number of options. Grand Prive may have screwed over affiliates and may have screwed up on a bonus offer.

But, they DO pay their winners and they HAVE winners. I am not an affiliate marketer and I was not involved in the big "Take Back" I have read about. Why not put them on probation if for no other reason than to see how responsive they are to the members of this forum if given that chance.

I have NEVER won a dime at Jackpot Capital or Slotastic. NEVER. Intertops is so tight I don't play there anymore either. What does that leave me with? Club World. Club World is above average and I have won there a few times.

Bovada (bodog) is on the up & up but very few bonuses and it costs 5-6% just to deposit by CC there.

Why not give them a chance. At least they do pay their winners relatively fast and they are on a different platform than RTG.

Old thread not really up for debate anymore so closing it.
