I have received an Email telling me they have "new software".
I thought they just meant they were going at last to the new version following Intercasino.
Next, despite "doing" my special bonus last month and cashing out 1000 I have been booted FURTHER upstairs to the top flight VIP club.
Well, just now - I found the catch
It really IS "NEW Software",
It's Cassava (Oh Crap).
There are a couple of really EVIL terms and conditions which make the deal very one sided in the event of a dispute.
While they have the right to do all the usual things that many casinos do, they seek to wash their hands of ANY responsibility to the player should ANOTHER PLAYER have cheated and skewed the games, they do not even have an obligation to so much as ACT on such a complaint!!!!
Why is this a problem,
In a nutshell POKER
They could pull an "Absolute", and if players complain, they have the RIGHT to decline to investigate unless THEY feel they must.
They also have NUMEROUS ways to confisacte EVERYTHING in a player's account, beyond the usual narrow definitions of SERIOUS actions.
ROBOTS - penalty, confiscation of EVERYTHING!!!!
Crappy Internet Connection. If they deem that the player is deliberately creating disconnects (and how the hell do they REALLY know), they again confiscate EVERYTHING. Incidentally, how does this "cheat" the randomness of the games, other software has safeguards to prevent disconnects from messing up the games, and the old Cryptologic was the best of the bunch, it would actually TELL you about it when you next logged in, and let you complete, or show you exactly what happened.
Dormant accounts - 10% MONTHLY after 6 months (formerly $2 or 2)
They are peddling VIP bonuses, but this just gets me thinking of the Lucky Ace disaster. I can just imagine existing Littlewoods players getting their 100% match to celebrate the change over, playing the way they used to on Littlewoods, and being screwed over by Cassava.
When any Littlewoods player gets their email - for goodness sake, READ THE NEW TERMS, they are SIGNIFICANTLY different from the old comfortable Cryptologic ones. Will they actually carry out the draconian measures they allow themselves? Who knows? but they certainly did with the Lucky Ace launch, and were screwing players earlier than that with their "Grief Club" casino that wasn't theirs, even though we and they knew damn well it was.
When I get my 100% VIP offer - I'll give it to my lawyer for dissection before (if?) I deposit I still have 30 in there to see if the software is any better than it used to be.
