So is this spintee gezza :) is now stating his name as ben playford?

Nicola stated she had seen his passport (Stuart aka Spintee) post #196.

In the other forum, Everything was fine there, born in 1987

Then in the farewell thread its Stuart Hedley

Are we getting any closer to the fraudster? Ben Playford AKA playford AKA spintee AKA Stuart Hedley, born 1987, supports arsenal and has two kids who would love a holiday to Disneyland where there are lots of fairytales.

I agree with DreamRJ about screenshots she used to post. I always thought that they were too good to be true. They were constant like she must have had a shit load of games playing at the same time and a number of casinos. What I also saw was that comp she did was winnings from yet another signup bonus. I say another as if my memory serves me right a lot of her wins was from new sign-ups

Now she stated she contributed a lot of time over the years to forums and alike. So I would have thought she would have the decency to prove her self and to shut us up before she called it a day.

Been looking more into it, simply because it concerns you and @Playford7 . I have a few more caveats that point towards this being some set-up from the get-go.

1. The 77 bonuses miracle.

She claims to have played for 45 hours (see screenshot) to accumulate 77 bonuses at an average bet of $3 and that with a starting balance of $4,000.

- slots spin at roughly 600 spins/hour x $3 = $1,800 needed per hour x 45 hours
- 77 bonus in 45 hours --> is 1.7 but I will do 2 bonuses/hour to keep it simple
- The base game on slots is on average between 50 - 60% RTP
- So from the $1,800 wagered in 1 hour to get 2 bonuses she would have lost $900 - $1,080, leaving her with roughly $3,000 to carry on.
- Going by the same model, she would have had enough for another 6 bonuses, total 8.

Now let's be generous and say she is a super extra mega lucky lady who can conjure scatters to fall onto the reels and she managed to get double that figure - 16 bonuses. That is still far off the 77 she claims to have collected.

Let's add that she was even luckier and hit every hour at least a few massive mega base game wins of +100x, that would double the number of bonuses again - 32. Yet, still far, far off from the 77.

In all this, we can never calculate that she caught a slot in a bad mood running at just 30 or 40% RTP as they often do, especially the HV ones she played.

In essence, collecting 77 bonus with $3 - $5 bets and a starting balance of $4,000 is simply "cuckooland fantasy" or we are all playing some completely different slots than Nicola. :rolleyes:

2. WHG Rep at TGC was aware of the bonus hunt

She mentioned in one of her posts that the newly assigned WHG rep was aware she was running the comp. I would think that the casino could have helped with a "casino play account" because Nicola never showed anywhere that it is her account that she was using, nor did she show a deposit slip for the 4K. (couldn't find a post or a mention)

3. spintee AKA stuart hedley AKA playford7

Bear in mind that the times shown are GMT+8. so 10:43 = 02:43

The Arsenal match finished at 4:45 PM, and he posted at 08:13 PM (04:13 shown - 8 to get to GMT). I don't know London that well, but I used to need much longer than 3 hours to get home after football matches unless I would leave early. But let's say that is all OK.

So that "spintee" posts the first time about the win after returning from the footie and within less than 1 hour they had already spoken on Skype, he had shown her his passport and Nicola was over the moon to split with the 6K (in the results post she said she would have the mod check who the winner is).

And all that although there was talk in between that there were irregularities with his account and Nicola said she would have the mods double-check. Yet she declares quickly all is fine.

Would anyone in normal life do that when we are talking about giving 6K to an apparently complete stranger? Especially, when it was clear that there was something not totally kosher with his account?

My answer would maybe be a YES if it wasn't my money or that no money would actually change hands because the entire malarkey was just a marketing stunt to get my latest business venture off the ground, with some gracious help from a very large casino group. :rolleyes:

I would suggest that @Casinomeister and the owner of TGC compare IP addresses of the user he had to register and login to their account at CM and TGC. This "spintee" impersonator must have some beef with a few people and funnily and miraculously, out of the blue he wins a comp and Nicola quickly says "all is fine". :rolleyes:

And I was going to work on Meister Minions stuff today. :rolleyes:

What a f*&%ing mess.

Sorry to see Nicola go, but this is just plain weird.

So yeah - I'm closing the "Nicola" account down. I feel it's a shame since that person had contributed to this community and was quite helpful at times. Sad to see her go. But there ya have it, life on the Internets.
 
I became suspicious of her when she returned to the forum and got some stick for previous dodgy dealings.

Most of the time a leopard doesnt change its spots but i didnt want to judge as i didnt know too much about the situation.

Found it easy to condemn her once she contradicted herself on posts. Once or twice raises an eyebrow but too many times she avoided direct questions. The questions she avoided were incriminating, hence the avoidance.

The closing of the accounts is her way of getting a last word in and then disappearing so she doesnt have to lose face.

Wonder what would have happened if she had come clean and said 'you know what, im sorry guys but i did fake it and heres why'. Were all human, its a tough world and i have sometimes considered doing the wrong thing to get ahead.

My post of 'good riddance to bad rubbish' was my emotional response to the situation and in a way i still stand by that (god forbid somebody would try and take advantage of this community) but the logical part of me does not like to be judgemental and ideally it would be good for her to return and come clean.

Call it salvation or redemption if you like.

Be nice to get to the bottom of it - members details being duplicated, fake money offered from fake bonus hunt. One quick question - Does it help this sites SEO by using the same member names as on here?

She was not the only one who stood to benefit from faking a competition to boost the popularity of either herself and/or a forum and/or a casino or maybe all 3, but it is possible that she was the player in all of the scam i suppose.

Glad she got caught out and its a shame the OP got themselves banned. I thought they were quite open to criticism and were open with their discussion. Im glad they brought it out in the open.

Getting home from the Arsenal match within 1 hour is possible if you live in an area somewhere next to the stadium.

I remember that on some website I saw that Nicola originally is from the Finsbury Park area which is one or a couple of train stops from the Arsenal station.

Which means that Spintee impersonator lives somewhere near and really got home in 1 hour, which makes think that he might be very well known person to Nicola; childhood friend, even ex neighbour etc...
 
Didn't see it at first.

But so typical Nicola, blame again everyone else but posting no proof whatsoever, e.g. that the rounds were indeed played on the 7th.

She is a gambler herself and knows full well that gamblers will start doubting if there is no transparency. She went to great length to hide any date stamp whatsoever. Then the strange account appears and posts a guess within $3.

Plus, I say this again. Take an imaginary 4,000 on demo mode and see if you manage to collect 77 bonuses with an average bet size of $3. And run the full collection on Lil Devil and Royal Mint. You won't get to 20, let alone 77.

People, do some calculation. Do you hit bonuses so quickly? In her case, she never lost on average more than 17x her bet before hitting the free spins. You can have that a couple of times in a session but 77 times? 77 times?

Who is she trying to kid?

Again, maybe I am biased because of her GAMCHECK connection but I for one am not blinded by her screenshots or whatever. E.g. she could have easily posted a receipt for the transfer to the charity to dispel doubts. She again chose not to.

And that has been the same again and again over the years.
Your being over generous with your average $3 per spin calculation. The average was more like $4.00 per spin.
But in essence you are spot on
 
Well what do you expect when you run a competition to give away £6k? You are asking for trouble as for 100% sure you will have the cheaters / chancers entering.

Fuck me, I had people cheating when I used to stream for video slots and the first prize was a, when compared to £6k, crappy 50 free spins on minimum bet on Book of Dead.

Mind you, they were on the high RTW then lol
 
So has anybody anywhere .. casino.rep... cm member...
.. mod... affiliate anyone ever seen or met her?
I am sure that she/he suggested that she attended a convention where she had the chance of easily finding members of casinomeister yet none of them did meet her.
Someone else's fault..AGAIN? :rolleyes:

You run a comp of that magnitude 1000% transparent. Plain and simple. And when questions come up, you post proof not avoid answering or post non-answers accusing everyone else. Period!
Didn't she fashion herself as being a risk manager? Who would offer £6K as a givaway on a little used site without ensuring that the terms for taking part where not watertight? Especially if your crust is earned as a risk manager?
In fact who would offer such a givaway on a slow traffic site when your also a member of a place that has 20 times more traffic as an option?

Thank you! I've been one of the few that has called out her weekly, 1,000X - 10,000x win posts and 250k profit claims and finally she's been caught. I'm just wondering what's her angle?

Have I misunderstood this? I was at the understanding that she had began collecting the bonuses on the Friday evening then played them through during the Saturday before presenting the results that Saturday evening?

She collected the bonuses up to 22:41 GMT on 2nd March (as per her video) and started playing them at 00:00 GMT on 7th March .... that's what she said.

Guesses from members were possible up to 22:00 GMT on 6th March, which itself is opening the door to all sorts of shenanigans. People then asked for a date stamp for the game rounds on 7th March but she claimed after first saying something else and shrouding herself in mystery as usual to have TBA'ed immediately after making the withdrawal for 12K .....what a nice excuse, IMO. :rolleyes:

She posted the results with the 12K on 7th March at 02:43 (it says 10:43 on my post but that is my time region which is GMT+8)

I'm sure she also implied she would send the charity donation to the admin to pay to prove it was above board, she also said she would pay the donation after she was paid. They have a 48 pending period, not inc weekends, so how did she pay the charity yesterday? Why not show the passport of the winner (no GDPR issues as she isn't a business), time stamps of bonus round and donation to either admin over there or Bryan on here to prove her innocence and stop all the doubters?
 
Wow nothing like letting sleeping dogs lie, Nicola has left the building!

The comp wasn't run on this forum, yet you are all quick to try everything possible to tarnish her further - you are like a pack of wolves hunting it's prey and for me says all I need to know about a lot of people on this forum!!

I am out of here, god forbid I ever cross any of you!!
 
BTW, her previous giveaway was for 20% of the winnings and sounds just as unreal with 46 bonuses.

Apparently, she cashed out GBP4,500 from Lil Devil while building up the hearts on 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, 0.80 and 1.00 bets. And that on top of her bonus hunt winnings.

Then later claims she couldn't send the prize money immediately as she had to find someone with a GBP account, yet her wins are in GBP. :confused:

I said I didn't think the thread should have been allowed on here as it was a witch hunt carried from another forum, however it is still open and Nicola commented so therefore she was obviously happy for it to carry on.
She could VERY easily put it all to bed by posting a screenshot of when the bonuses were played. She chose not to. She cannot then complain because people don't believe her.

Lest we forget, this thread appeared in the Swedish part of the forum on a Sunday night (that was ingenious btw) and it ran on for pages until Monday morning (yesterday). No one here clicked the report a post thingy, and the only reason I checked it out was that the dude who started it got banned for being a troll by Max :p

So anyway, Nicola has left the building, whatever promo that was going on is dead and done. And most of this involved another website - and I don't want to risk this becoming some forum war with Joes coming over here and trolling folks and visa versa.

So let's end this, shall we? If there is anything important to say - say it now. And then I'll shut this thread down at noon my time, OK? :D
 
Probably best to end it as it started:

By congratulating Playford on his conversion to affiliate-ism and hope he spends the money on dog treats and kebabs.

And Harry, for setting up 'Panther Investigations: For those who just need to know' - I just hope the missus doesn't hire him to look into my late night Whatsapp conversations
 
From the other forum where someone opened a thread with her "farewell, it is everyone else's fault" post from CM.

Somebody is having serious beef with Ben. :rolleyes:

For what it is worth, there is a guy called Carl Bentley, who has a serious beef with CasinoMeister and the forum members over what he considers to be a "stolen $50k" win from Karamba casino, due to the T&C's.

And one of his main targets is.... Ben Playford1.

So could it be this Carl Bentley who is behind all this?

Just a thought.
 
Before we close, did we reach any conclusions or at least a summary, or is it still he said / she said, if, but, maybe?
TBH, I think it is more of a case of he said that she said that he said that she said.....ad nauseum.

Couldn't really make head or tails of it, but one thing I do know...

Some of the replies were very, very funny - haven't laughed this much in ages, so thank you everyone for brightening up what has been a truly lousy day. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

You mean this guy? LOL - he never even PABd. He just came out attacking folks left and right. Freaking nutjob.
Karumba casino vs ASPIREPLEYFORD

He did not give us a chance to help him.

I conclude that this has been a massive time suck. :p
