There has been many reports and rumors that somehow WGI (World Games Inc.) is affiliated with a company called Club Platinum Inc. out of Poland which runs La Isla Bonita Casino. It was reported in this story:
"La Isla Bonita
We featured this online casino in Casino Cautions two weeks back for bad communications, slow-paying mainly Danish players and some quaint domain changes. This week the heat seemed to be again focused on this operation when Jan Gunnar Furuly, an investigative reporter on the staff of the Oslo, Norway based newspaper Aftenposten started asking questions in the online gambling community. Apparently some sort of ownership struggle has been going on at the casino, which is technically operated from Warsaw in Poland where it has offices and a call centre. Aftenposten has received details on significant numbers of Danish players who are awaiting over-delayed payouts. Furuly has apparently established that in addition over a thousand Norwegians have invested in La Isla Bonita through a WGI company called Club Platinum Inc. and they are impacted by the ownership and possibly financial problems associated with this operation. It has also transpired (confirmed by Antiguan authorities) that contrary to its claims to be licensed in Antigua this is not so. If any of our readers have any useful information on this operation, Furuly would like to hear from them at tel: +47 22864008, mob: +47 91164210 or fax: +47 22864054."
You can be assured that they (WGI) have no affiliation whatsoever with this company, and that World Games Inc. has been informed of these accusations as well as the Toronto team leaders of WGI. I am waiting to hear back from them on this matter.
