Lucky Club - Disgraceful

[Nifty29]

I just received this via email.

I found it disgusting and very unsettling.

"You're too broke to pay your bills? Play our slots and win millions!"

It's so bad that it's almost funny.

How much money was left in your account?

I have to admit it is pretty bad. I received one of these emails from them a while back but it didn't say anything about making end meet , etc.

 

[dionysus]

well, personally, I didn't find it offensive; they didnt suggest you deposit

 

[Nightfly]

Received this from numerous RTG casinos. Just a gimmick to sign on to the casino and make a deposit. Yes, I do find this sleazy, however I did turn an .80 cent balance into a $175.00 withdrawal one time.

Mmmmm crappy email - I notice they exclude UK players from bonuses - not many casinos do that!

Fair call.

I just thought the suggestion that you can solve your financial woes by playing in their casino is really shifty...and certainly goes against the CM philosophy.

The balance I had was .17c

I agree, thought gambling was for entertainment purposes

I don't find the email disgusting more sh*tty than anything else... You could win BIG with just three cents lol!

 

[dionysus]

Deffo low likelihood, but I have made a pretty good bankroll from less than 17 cents; ya just never know

 

[chuzzleaddict]

Yeh, I don't like the way its worded and I would too be pretty disgusted to receive that kind of email from a casino. It is widely stated EVERYWHERE that gambling should only be considered as entertainment and not income, so although they have not suggested you deposit, they are still suggesting that gambling is a way to pay bills. I don't like it - totally agree.

 

[dionysus]

but really is it much different than any casino that offers incentives (prizes, cash, trips, rewards) for MOST STAKED, tournies for most buy-ins, cars for biggest wagerers; honestly, if it were JUST for entertainment purposes we wouldn't need a withdraw button...we all hope to win, not play and have fun, or we'd play in fun mode for free..anyone that deposits is hoping to cash out, be it to buy things or pay bills

They have been doing this for over a year. Grande Vegas of the same group also does the same. You are right and I do find this quite nauseating.

So much month left? - 4 days , tbh this is right out of the CR book of *How to entice those not the sharpest tool in the box sort of people* spam, the least they could have done was remind you how much cash you still had in your account.

"To much month left at the end of the money?, then pawn everything you own and sell the kids on E-Bay, and take our fck the bills reload bonus".

Remember a few years back there was one of the Microgaming casino groups that had some 'testimonial' letters that were like that.

"I was facing foreclosure and had no food for my children and I was depressed because my husband died and I lost my job so I decided to play the last money in the house to get my mind off all my troubles...." or "I had enough to pay the rent but not enough left over to play, but I decided to play instead..."

I can't really remember offhand what exactly they said, but they were along those lines. THOSE ones I found really offensive.

I was thinking the same thing, I don't recall a slot at LC that pays close to a million.
