Hi All,
As an update:
Initially there had been some problems with incomplete docs, additional information was then requested from the OP.
There were also some issues with file size on some mails.
It took some time for the OP to come back to us again (around 10 days). After that there were some mails back and forth with support and the OP. In these they were informed what was needed. The last of such was answered just a few days back on the 11th.
During the interim period the OP played with the funds in their account. Over the course of a few sessions they added quite a substantial amount to the balance they had when the first docs were sent in. They actually added over 30% to their balance.
In the last reply on the 11th the OP was informed that the new the info they say they sent in had not been received by us. They were asked to resend and also to again make sure that the file size was not too large.
We did not hear anything back from them. Later that evening it looks as if they decided to play with the funds again. Unfortunately this time they did not add to their balance but lost.
I understand that the OP would be frustrated with this outcome. However we have not asked for anything exceptional here, such as notarised documentation.
It was the OP's choice to play again with the funds in their account.
Have a great weekend all.
Best Regards

So then the OP is not being totally honest? You did not ask for anything exceptional? You did not demand that they get proof of how they fund their ewallet and send it to you? They simply had incomplete documentation and never responded to you when you asked for complete documentation?
I'm a fan of iNetBet on Facebook - when they first started their Facebook page, they said, "Like us on Facebook for special deals and free chips" and that's cool, once they reach a specific milestone they'll post a $5 freebie or a freeroll tourney or something for people who 'like' iNetBet. What's pretty amazing is the amount of people who post on their wall asking for freebies. There were people who had never played with their own money asking for free chips, and people who have 4 or 5 or more free chips in a row asking for another one.
That actually made me realize that when iNetBet said that they didn't get live chat because the whole thing would be bogged down by people looking for freebies, they may have had a point.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - I've personally never had an issue with their support, if I send a mail I usually get a response within half an hour. I agree with whoever said that it would be nice if the manager bonus shows a playthrough - but the only time I've ever made playthrough on a free chip, the excess was removed from my balance so I knew right away anyhow.
As for GG, it's not a site I frequent, but I've checked it out a bit recently. I find it interesting that people go there AFTER coming to Casinomeister and not winning their PAB - then they can throw some mud at Bryan and the gang too.
I enjoy playing atINetBet, but their email system is horrible. I have emailed them several times with no response. After 7 or 8 emails asking for a reply to the original email, I get the response, "We did email you a reply, please check your junk folder". I have them in my contact list and their mail always comes to my inbox, NOT junk. I asked them to send me a copy of the original reply that they sent me and not once did they send me a copy. So, the next time I had a problem--i went to Facebook and sent Emily a message--She replied within 24 hours.
It is just strange that all their "promos" get to everyone's email, but their so-called "replies" get lost in cyberspace. For tis reason, I limit my deposits with them. I think they need some customer service lessons....
This really sounds like the issue I had with Inet about 4-5 months back. I had my first withdrawal with them after making 10+ deposits. Sent in my documents and 2 days later received a reply. Responded and got another email 2 days later. Then again and got a response the next day. Finally figured out after the 3rd email that they didn't like the signature on my identification compared to my fax back form. I actually posted it on here a while back showing how similar the signatures were. Anyway, after about a week and a half my documents were finally approved.
Then I received an email saying my withdrawal had been denied and my winnings removed because I took a bonus that only allowed play on 4 certain slots. Not all slots like any others I'd seen. My fault for feeling too comfortable with general terms an RTG casino would have when taking a bonus.
Needless to say it was a learning experience And for ME a good enough reason to avoid this casino in the future. There are just better ones out there, even for US players
One interesting comment I'd have is that when trying to get my documents approved it would take 1-2 days to get a response. Though when it came to emails back and forth about the t&c of the bonus my responses were within 1-2 hours.
@nonif.....just head over to gambling crumbles....they will print the truth even without all the facts. You can't go wrong.
...otherwise "your truth" is ALL we need...
dont we??

One VERY simple upgrade to the system would be to add an autoresponder such that every email received gets a response that can be used as proof of receipt by iNetBet. Players could also know through the lack of an autoreply that their email has NOT got through, so rather than just waiting days for a reply that never comes, they can quickly address the problem in case there is something their end that has gone wrong.

Agreed. Although if you send an email to support and it doesn't go through, how can you follow up if there's no alternative to email support?
I actually remember someone saying that they'd tried to send email to iNetBet and didn't get any response until they used the contact form on the website. Maybe they could incorporate an attachment button on that form so people could send their docs that way - that way they could also limit the size, and maybe even have a confirmation mail sent to the player that the mail was sent....?
One more thing - one thing I always do when sending docs is to compress them into a zip file - I've had mails to my clients go missing when I include a graphic file, it seems that some email systems don't like receiving attached graphics but they're ok with zips. So I do the same thing at the casinos, I send my faxback, my DL and bank statement all in one zip file, and I've never had an issue about them not being received. I usually scan at 300dpi and then save down to 100dpi so the whole zip file is less than 1MB in size.
The contact form is one way to follow up, as it uses a different system. With an autoresponder in place, the player would quickly know their emails were not being received, as opposed to iNetBet deliberately ignoring them, and could use the contact form to raise the issue of emails not getting through. This would at least make iNetBet aware that the player was contacting them, but it was not getting through.
The problem with compressing documents is that clarity is sacrificed. This could lead to the "your documents are unclear" response from CS.
Other cases of "unclear" documents have been caused by players scanning them as a "document", which is around 100dpi, rather than a "photo", which is around 300dpi. It is a particular problem with the photo id, rather than any faxback form. Advice then has been to rescan the ID as a "photo" and resend, and this usually clears up the problem.
ZIP files themselves could end up getting rejected, or finding support "cannot open the file". The latter will happen if the correct "unzip" application is not present on the casinos' systems. This is probably less of a problem now that we have a "zipper" as part of the Windows OS, but in the past there were only third party zipping applications, and they could not necessarily handle files zipped by a competitor application.
RTG could also develop a messaging system for the lobby as an alternative to live chat. It would work like email, but rather than being at the mercy of the ISPs, it will be handled by the RTG client and back end. Microgaming has had such a lobby application for some time, although it is little used.
Contact forms to confirm, auto-responders, zip files, dpi standards, software applications and messaging systems.
Seems complicated for the average standard Joe.
inetbet is becoming an embarrassment. They have not been right on the timing of these emails and they have not been totally forthcoming on them either.
Shumantic, can you look at the attachments that you sent and give a size of each please? That way we can see if that is the case or if there is more fiction coming.
If the attachemnts are under 10mb in size then They should send the player their money in the amount before they grew it and before they lost it. In other words, what was in their account when they first started trying to get this process completed back in September should be sent to them.
How can you not have better handling? Go to 888, they have automatic upload of your docs and it is quick and safe.
Yes. The first email had 4 attaches and was a total of 785kb that inetbet admitted to receiveing.
When I sent in 4 individual emails the next group were 118kb for the 1st, 2.3mb for the 2nd, 2.3 mb for the 3rd and 2.3mb for the 4th.

So you would also have insisted that, if the player had won more instead of losing the lot, the balance should have been restored to the original lesser amount? Yeah right.
The player ignored the casinos request for almost TWO WEEKS whilst they were winning. Then all of a sudden, when they lose, it's "blame someone else for my poor decisions" time. The player wagered in the knowledge that they could win or lose....just like anyone does when they gamble. Insisting that the casino should return the losses is the mating call of the Twilight Zoners.
It's amazing how everyone with a personal beef against iNetbet jumps in with the knives as soon as someone makes an unsubstantiated complaint about them. I'm just glad that this is Casinomeister and not Gumball Grumbles......most intelligent people here, including the staff, look at both sides of the issue and don't take everything a player says as gospel. E.g this thread where the OP conveniently omitted that he ignored the casino for almost 2 weeks.
@Shumantic.....take notnappy's advice re the PAB....he's speaking from experience.
