Ok. I will spare you the usual "I hate these scumbags" speech. I have been in contact with Mark @ IGS. In fairness to his orginasation, and to him I felt the need to post a new thread. He has expressed his displeasure with me for posting our email conversations on this and various other forums. He feels that they are confidental, and not meant for everyone else to see. I agreed to not post them, unless of course I don't get paid....very very soon.
Let me say, that Mark has shown a keen intrest in my case, to date he has lived up to every promise he has made me. Of course my opinion could change, but so far I appreciate the level of respect he has shown me.
The owner of islandjoescasino.com wants to make "paymentS" to me, Mark expressed his desire to pay me in full, and of course I agree with him.
Folks, I am not one of those annoying people who expects perfect service no matter where you go. If I eat at the Waffle house, I don't expect 4 star dining service. However, when I play at a casino, I do expect to be treated a certian way, and if I'm not I get very pissed very quickly.
I was playing BJ for $100-$500.00 a hand times three hands. When I won and cashed out I did not expect it to take over three months for someone to finally say "you will get your money". I also did not expect playercenter to lie to me for over a month telling me my check was in the mail. Above all else, thats the number one thing that sent me over the edge. If you can't or won't pay up, don't lie about it. Tell me up front. They could have told me in Feb about this IGS player gaurantee. Instead they took the position of "we are here and you are there" and there is nothing you can do about it. WRONG ANSWER. Again, it took 2 more months of bitching at this and other forums for someone to finally step up to the plate and say " I will take responsibilty for this". Even then I was the one who had to make first contact. The Meister was told in Mar that this would be handled, and nothing happened. In April I stepped up the attacks, and finally got to the point we are at today.
This is no way to treat someone who has played at the SAME place for over three years. What did they expect? I hope it wasn't a "we will get around to dealing with this someday" mentality. However I think that is exactly what happened. $4,800.00USD is not that much money to pay someone, and I find it unfortunate that it had to come to this level of complaining. My posts, as well as word of mouth to friends and complete strangers has cost them much more then that in lost revenue.
Trust me on this one folks, if I don't get paid shortly, my attacks and complaints will double. It is the only recourse I have and I will exploit it for as long as I can. If and when I do get paid I will post that as well. Thank you and I look foreward to your replies.
