I make ONE deposit at an RTG casino and this is what happens.

Who's this Babs person you are referring to? If you have a link or something, I'm always interested to read about this kind of stuff.

Happened a couple of years ago, she was a long standing member here.

Will give you a little bit of reading.

I read some pages and can't believe how many people are banned now, or some people who don't even post anymore.

I read some pages and can't believe how many people are banned now, or some people who don't even post anymore.

I've read a lot of these older threads and the number of banned people, many of which looked like they were pretty active members, is astonishing to say the least. Not judging, it's just an observation. I'd expect that kind of thing on a very large forum with a lot of activity, not in a smaller forum with a close community like this one where everyone seems to know each other.

It does,

We used to be able to trust the processors casinos used, and on the odd occasion that something went wrong, the casinos were keen to put it right. Now we have so many cases of processors taking bogus charges, and casinos increasingly taking the attitude that it is not their problem if a player got screwed by a dodgy processor. Rushmore then went a step further, telling players to make a chargeback as they were not prepared to lift a finger to help because they no longer used that processor.

Even telling a player to wait 30 days is not good enough. A mistake should be rectified immediately, not at the miscreant's leisure.

Now it seems even non-US players are getting hit by these dodgy processors. There is no excuse for casinos placing these transactions through their high risk US facing processors. They also leave themselves open to more aggressive action from players caught up in the mess, as they don't have to worry that their bank will kick them out if they complain. US banks are only getting fooled because the players play along if they are asked about that bicycle from the middle east, or the clothes from China.

If a UK player just started out and saw their first deposit billed to a shopping mall in the Philipines, they would think the casino was a con, and had stolen their card details and started using them. They may go straight to the bank before even giving the casino a chance to explain themselves. A UK player would expect a casino deposit to show up as one, correctly coded as "gambling chips", and showing the name of the casino operator.

This point has bothered me for a long time, and I've mentioned it repeatedly. Using these rinky-dink USA facing processors (those of you outside USA should see some of the names that are listed when we deposit at RTG casinos ) for NON-USA transactions is a disaster waiting to happen. The likelihood of a USA facing processing being blocked/confiscated/seized by USA authorities has not lessened in recent months, even though we hear less about it. Why in heaven's name are the 'legal' gamblers (outside the USA) tranasactions not kept separate?

You would think that would be the smart thing to do since there's nothing other than the backlash from the casinos themselves stopping players outside of the US from just telling the bank "I was gambling with this card but someone keeps taking extra money."

8 days and still waiting.

The transaction is still listed under "pending authorizations" and not actually a settled transaction.

Maybe they're just waiting for it to expire.

Ok, the money made it's way back to my card. I guess they just ignored it and after sitting in "authorizations" for 2 weeks it expired.

So this time it was just a general error. No real harm done.
