Havent heard anything

[casinobum]

I filed a complaint over a month ago against Cloud casino for 7700.00 and havent heard anything from the OPA. Not even a response to my emails. The ower is still in operation w anyother casino. Just would like to know whats up.
Thanks

 

[steve]

Marco had contacted me saying that he thought you had cheated. Said he could not prove it. So i suggested he pay you.

The other casino is tommorow casino and they claim that he does not work there.

 

[steve]

Oh the reason the OPA has not done anything is that it looked to us like someone else had settled this complaint for you.


Steve,
This person has already contacted other 'mediators' regarding this
<, issue, I thought they had reached an agreement with gambling.com
<, whereby they would not post in any forum until the matter was solved. I
<, did indeed keep contact with Julie at gambling.com
<, Have not heard from her so I would rather not comment on this until I
<, do.
<,
<, Hope you understand my position
<,
<, regards

<, <, Complaint : I played at Cloud Casino for the frist time on 2-18-01
<, <, deposited a few times and made withdrawls for a total winnings of
<, <, 3110.00 included cc deposits. I have been made promises and
<, <, promises to
<, <, be payed. On 5-12 I played with the 279.00 I had in my account for
<, <, overa month when Cloud was down. I played on and off during the
<, <, day and then
<, <, hit a Royal Flush for 4000.00. When I logged out I had in my account
<, <, 4600.00+ (not sure of the little added) The next day my account was
<, <, locked. I emailed Marco for a few days and didnt recieve a
<, <, response. I
<, <, contacted John at gone gambling to have him check out why it was
<, <, locked.I contacted Spearmaster and then a complait with Julie at
<, <, gambling.com.I will attached all emails I have recieved starting
<, <, from the most
<, <, recent. I still havent received any money to this date or heard
<, <, anythingregarding this.. Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2001 06:09:27 MDT [Show

<, <, saying that they only want to pay 4000.00 total? And not the 3111.00
<, <, from previous winning which includes my own money from deposits. I had
<, <, 3111.00 winnings from Febuary and have had so many promises that this
<, <, would be paid, and have 4600.00+ in my account now which comes to a
<, <, total of 7711.00+. Somehow this doesnt seem fair. I did not cheat in
<, <, anyway. Played by the rules exactly, played the cards I was dealt. Do
<, <, you feel this is fair? They are a aproved OPA casino and I dont feel
<, <, paying a portion of winnings is fair to me or another gambler that
<, <, playsthere and that they could do the same to them. Please let me
<, <, know. I
<, <, feel full payment is fair and I would never play there again
<, <, anyways. I
<, <, will file a complaint with the OPA is it becomes neccessary.
