Fantastic work CM

Sounds like the casino were trying it on big time with the knowledge that this particular customer would gamble a lot of it back if they paid him weekly.

And without CM they would have proberly got away with it.

Suggestion: get your bro-in-law to open up a new bank (Savings?) account with higher interest and no debit card or Internet banking and put the money in there where he can't touch it online!! I wrote up an idea here: Outdated URL (Invalid). May be useful in light of your concerns.

Then get him to take you all on holiday

Cheers

Simmo!

Glad he got his money

Always glad to see folks get their money. Bryan deserves all the credit.
And that is another reason we are all here. It is a trust issue.

With that type of cash, it'd be best to open a Money Market acct. Much higher return than a savings/checking account Banks would be drooling to get his business...hehehe

Glad to hear the casino did the right thing (forced or not).

btw, nice article Simmo Great ideas.

..."If it wasn't for those meddling kids!!!" I'm wondering if the casino operator in question is Jake the janitor, dressed up as a ghost - using a projector to scare players out of their winnings?

Seriously though - big rap on the knuckles for the naughty operators, big slap on the back for the Casinomeister!

Invest the money!

After making a few nice gift purchases from the Meister's list, he should take the rest of the money (OK, keep out $5,000 for "fun") and go directly to a financial advisor and invest the funds in a non liquid asset. The advisor can ensure first that he has maximized all his options for retirement accounts, etc. and then can steer him in the right direction. Just be certain it is a "fee for service" advisor, not someone on the payroll of the bank or brokerage firm. Good luck!

A great resource to find such a person is www.daveramsey.com

This guy only endorses advisors that have the customer's best interest in mind, not those out for a quick buck.

Just click on "Investing" on the right hand side of the main page. You'll fill out a short form and recieve contact information for someone in your area.

ps: If you ever have a chance to see this guy live, DO SO! He gives a great 'roadmap' for getting out of debt FAST. He also has a great book called "Total money makeover". You don't even need to buy it, it's available at most libraries

He's also on the Radio. Check the website for stations/locations...

Thanks Winbig

Thanks Winbig. I know of the fellow. It is an excellent recommendation for him
I couldn't provide any names since it would be a conflict of interest for me, so I am glad you did. That is the smart way to go.

hahaha exactly. But you forgot: "Credit cards are evil".

Stunning - I would dearly like to know what went on behind the scenes at Casino Rewards/ITS to trigger this sudden change in policy!

My guess is that they either got or were about to get rebuked by Microgaming....

They knew what they were doing, namely exploiting the vulnerable, it's just they thought nobody would find out.

Is it anyone wonder the US just voted to ban online gambling when you get casinos pulling crap like this with money that isn't theirs to start with?

guys

this is an absolute disgrace! a casino trying to profit from a persons good luck :machinegu i mean guys, would you get like 32 red or ladbrokes casino trying this on? no i think not....these casino rewards people need to be in a rogued section. (if they are not already). if it wasnt for cm, this guy would of probally lost the lot of the money keep gambling and reversing his winnings. this casino rewards wants some serious bad press about this:axeman2: i would be interested as to know what actually happened here bryan, if you would be so kind to inform us......

 

[winbig]

I wouldn't doubt that it probably came down to "Pay this man his money as you're required to do, or we'll pull your license". Notice how fast this was resolved once MG was made aware of the situation.
