My responses are in BLUE.

Read from the bottom up.

I am still awaiting a response.


Dear xxxxxx

Thanks for the reply, however - no apology?

If I am going to invest 100.00 in your promotion each day, you could have at least had the courtesy to apologise for not sending the card out.

How small do you make your players feel????

Kind regards

xxxxxxx.

I find it never pays to pee off the customer service department actually who might just flip that little switch which says kill all wins :rolleyes: lol If you believe in that sort of thing that is ;)

Hehe.

However, I'm not looking for the on/off switch.

I just want to be treated like a valued customer.

Really pisses me off when I'm treated like a number. If I ever treated my clients in such a way, I would feel ashamed.
 
I don't see anything at all "harsh" in your letters. You come across as a proper British gentleman from Norf London. I think their response was canned as are most cs replies. There was not so much as a "gee, we screwed that up for you Mr. Cheeky and we will fix this for you toot sweet" from them. A good many of the support reps in this industry could use a bit of a lesson from Miss Emily Post on etiquette and the importance of making their customers feel his/her time and concerns are valued. It only takes an extra moment or two to add a personal touch before hitting the send button. :)
 
There's definately a correlation between the standard of service and the size of the company in any sector of business. Small independents have more time, less customers and less scenarios, more staff familiarity etc.

Unfortunately with big companies, you are a number and as much as they'd like to convince you otherwise you will always be Mr Account No/Ref 78945603 from the "UK". When you become a High Roller, you'll probably get assigned a host at some of these places...that's when you should start to worry IMO :)

Exactly.

Very true. At the end of the day, I'm just a small little fishy in a big ocean.

I shouldn't take these things too personally! :thumbsup:
 
In the end they sent me 2 scratchcards and an apology:

Dear xxxxxxx,
Thank you for your e-mail.

I think that there has been some misunderstanding the card was sent out to you by us and for whatever reason it would appear that you did not receive this. Of course we regret that you did not receive the card but to the best of our knowledge this was sent to you. Please let us know whether you have received the replacement.

Please be assured that you are a valued customer of ours and it would never be our intention to make you feel small.

If we can be of any further assistance, please contact us again and we will be more than happy to help you.
Kind regards,


xxxxxxxx

Job done. :thumbsup:
 
It would appear to me that Ladbrokes has more than made up for their booby now after that last email. Kudas given to Ladbrokes :thumbsup:
 
Out of interest how do you get these cards? I deposited there last month but don't think I got one. Should I have applied?
 
Cheeky

As i know you have been with ladbrokes for a long time cheeky you know full well that this is the standard of customer support there now they really couldnt give a monkeys about there customers. I had the same problem with the scratch cards and it took me 4 phone calls and 3 emails to get it to my account 7 yes 7 full days after i completed the wagering. Also they really cant take you telling them how bad there support is i have now been threatened with them closing my account as i have complained to them to much unreal is all i can say. Im really surprised that they are now being promoted on casinomeister as there support is a joke.

Turn over 100.00 PER DAY on Mega Moolah and you will qualify for a scratchcard. Valid until 31AUG07. You don't need to apply, it is automatic.

Hey, denny. :D

Yeah, the normal CS dept. is a bit of a joke. But their promotions/VIP dept. are normally quite helpful. Speak to Donna or Janet or Ewa in promotions and you should expect an answer by email within minutes. If you need email addresses PM me and I'll give them to you, but I think you know them anyway.

That's well out of order of them to threaten you with account closure. I would go mental if they said that to me. I would take it to the highest level possible!
 
LMAO

The only problem with taking it to the highest level is that it is the higherst level possible thats threatened the closure. I also do have all the contacts that you mentioned and this is part of the reason that im gonna get thrown out as they dont think you should keep escalting things to them all the time. They were all fine and dandy helping away when i had problems to start with but these days im blacklisted from the helpfullness. Ps it was J F that is doing the closing i assume you will know who he is cant really go much higher than him.

Hmmm, I nearly always go to the contacts I mentioned and have never been threatened with account closure.

Hey, are you sure you are not bothering them about the 10p you lost in one of their shop roulette machines?!? :p

No seriously, I'm really surprised to hear that denny. I have a mate that constantly bombards them everyday with emails about one thing or another and he has never been threatened with account closure either. In fact I always have a go at him about it as I think it is embarrassing the amount of times he bothers Donna, Janet etc. - lol.

But just going back on what Simmo said. He's right, we are all just numbers when dealing with a conglomerate such as Ladbrokes. We just have to expect it I suppose. :oops:
 
Never mind all that - did you win anything with the cards??? :confused:

BTW, I did 100 on Moolah last week & also never got a card. Amazingly I didn't lose much during my 100 wagering, but I thought the slot so shit I really could not face playing it again, so did not even bother chasing up my card.

Can't complain - I won 100's off their scratch cards a few months back!
:cool:
 
Don't think you were too harsh at all. In fact I emailed them after not receiving a scratchcard a week and a half ago and they haven't had the decency to reply to me at all. If this is how they treat their customers, they don't deserve my custom. Simple as that.
