More Fortune Lounge Problems

[Catwoman]

After reading all the problems many people have been having with Fortune Lounge this will probably come as little surprise, but I feel this really takes the p*ss.

I made several cashins at their casino's (most without bonuses) at the weekend after making several deposits and received the money back to Neteller for most of them. However I noticed my cashin at Desert Dollar was $150 down, Vegas Towers $50 down and Fortune Room $35 down.

I emailed VIP support to find out why this was to be told:

Please be advised that the remainder of your cashins were credited back to your Desert Dollar, Vegas Towers and Fortune Room casino accounts, as you did not meet the wagering requirements in order to cashin. The wagering requirements in order to cashin these purchase match bonuses is your purchase plus bonus, times 10. Thank you for your time and kind understanding!!

I can't beleive it - not only have they wrongly removed money from my cashins yet again (yes - it's happened to me before) but now they're ACTUALLY LYING to me. The credits HAD NOT been credited back to my casino account - bonuses had been added on Monday which were similar to the amounts removed from my cashins and they were blatantly trying to fob me off pretending they were from my cashins.

On top of this only the Vegas Towers cashin involved bonus money, and the wagering requirements for that had more than been met. They've now told me they're sending the details of the matter to their e-cash company to investigate the matter - but the whole thing stinks.

Bryan - I really don't know how much longer you can keep these in your reputable casino section. How many people will it take reporting of money taken wrongly from their cashins and being lied to from support before they are recognised for what they are?

Fortunelounge - don't you get frustrated sometimes

Well surprisingly enough my problem suddenly became a top priority for them once I'd posted here. It turns out the money removed was from previous bonuses I'd received.

I explained that I'd lost the other bonuses I'd received only to receive this reply:


Thank you for your e-mail, it will receive my speediest response.

I understand that you had lost your bonus amount whilst playing, but when you had initiated your cashin you had not wagered
enough to do so even though you had lost the bonus amount. From the date the cashin was initiated the wagering requirements still needed to be met in order to cashin.

If you could give me a ring I would gladly explain the wagering over the phone step by step for you.
You are a most valued player and we wish you a continues fun filled experience and I'm holding thumbs that you win a big jackpot. All the best and enjoy your gaming.

Sincerely,

Unbelievable!! After all that has been posted on here a member of their support team (VIP support at that) is still claiming wagering requirements from previous bonuses lost still need to be met.

Like I said before.. If 10 people get screwed...7 may accept it and not say a word. 2 of them may try to fight it on their own and give up after awhile, and 1 of them will come here and post it and get their problem solved. So you see... the casino is still ahead on the other 9 players, and the 1 that posts here may get paid, and the casino looks fair because that person will post that they have been paid. It's a strategy that works well for them.

If 10 people get "screwed...7 may accept it and not say a word and will not play with us again. 2 of them may try to fight it on their own and give up after a while... and will not play with us again and 1 of them will come here and post it and get their problem solved.....and will either not play with us again or reduce their play with us.

What commercial sense is there for us to deliberately "screw" players ?

I suggest you wait for my reply as promised before.

Catwoman:

I notice that you failed to post the mail we sent you which explains, in detail, the transactions you referred to. This mail was sent to you BEFORE the one you quote below.

In order to clarify this issue to other forum participants as well, I will repeat the salient facts. This relates to a cash-in on 17/04/04. The bonus forfeit and new wagering requirements were already in place before all purchases and bonus additions took place. The facts below were exactly but more elaborately explained in our mail to Catwoman.

Desert Dollar: Purchased $500 on 03/04/04. Received match bonus of $150 on 05/04/04. Wagerering requirement: purchase + bonus x 10 = $6 500.
Actual wagering: $850. Bonus of $150 removed. Cash-in of $610 processed on 18/04/04.

Vegas Towers: Purchased $500 on 03/04/04. Received match bonus of $50 on 05/04/04. Wagering requirement: purchase + bonus x 10 = $5 500.
Actual wagering: $581. Bonus of $50 removed. Cash-in of $442 processed on 18/04/04

Fortune Room: Purchased $350 on 04/03/04. Received match bonus of $35 on 08/03/04. Wagering requirement: purchase + bonus x 10 = $3 850.
Actual wagering: $535. Bonus of $35 removed. Cash-in of $380 processed on 18/04/04

It is abundantly clear that Catwoman did not even closely meet her wagering requirements.

The fact that she mentions "previous bonuses lost" indicates that she is, perhaps, understanding that Zero Balance refers to the bonus. In other words, when the bonus was played out. This is not correct as Zero Balance refers to when the actual account has no more credits.

It is concerning that the above was explained IN DETAIL to Catwoman, yet she is still finding the situation "Unbelievable" and selectively quotes a mail that was sent AFTER the full explanation. As I had direct communication with her after her initial posting, I am also surprised (or maybe not) that she did not contact me after receiving our explanation.

I hope the above is clear.

[bethug]

so, she got the bonus, made a profit> then without making playtru cash out. She got happy and tried to cash out before her time. Then run here. Catwomen if you knew other people was having problems at Fortune Lounge , why did u play there?

catwomen if you going to play for a short time , dont mess with the bonus

 

[The Dude]

By the way Catwoman, welcome to the forum.

When you made these deposits were you aware of the wagering requirements? This is a straightforward question not laced with sarcasm. This sounds like a newbie mistake of not reading the terms and conditions.

Were you aware of the x 10 wagering requirements? It looks like you were wagering the deposit and bonus x 1.

 

[Catwoman]

Hi Brian - thanks for your welcome!

Yes - I am fully aware of how FL bonus system works, I have been a regular reader of the forum for a few months and have been following the whole story(they have WRONGLY taken bonuses from my cashins before only to recredit them when I've emailed them my Playcheck logs).

Just to prove that my balance DID DEFINITELY GO TO ZERO I shall post my playcheck logs below.

Dessert dollar: (as you can see opening balance before depositing $500 is CLEARLY zero and no bonus is credited before I cashin)

[Catwoman]

Just to add what a complete and utter joke this all is - I can't beleive I've had to resort to posting my playcheck logs. Surely FL must have access to them? One quick look would have proved what I had told them.

So during this whole ugly episode FL have told me the following:

1) That the money removed from my cashins had been recredited to my account - LIE (the worst of them all)

2) Told me that wagering requirements from previous bonuses need to be met - LIE (in my case anyway)

Bethug - I've been a member at FL for months now (VIP there), before they started making all these ridiculous changes to their policies (i.e when they were a good casino), and I enjoyed playing there. I hadn't bothered much for a few weeks but gave them a go again last week hoping that maybe they'd got themselves sorted. Obviously not.

Also the only one out of these cashins that actually had a profit from my deposit was Desert Dollar - whom I lost $2K at a couple of months ago without a word of complaint.

Also I've never EVER not complied fully with any terms and conditions set by any casino.

Oh yeah - and they removed the money from my cashins without telling me.

From FL t@C:

5. Purchases only need to be wagered once on the day to qualify for the Weekly Purchase Match bonus.

6. Fortune Lounge Casinos will credit the player's account with the bonus on the following Monday, as specified in the offer letter.

7. To cash in the Weekly Purchase Match bonus the following wagering obligations apply:

a. wager the purchase at least ten (10) times

b. wager the bonus at least ten (10) times
_________________________________________________________________

5. Catwoman clearly wagered once her deposit to quilify for the bonus.
There is no mention there she can not make a withdrawal.

6. The bonuses were not credited till Monday.

7. After bonuses are credited she is supposed to wager it 10 times + 10 times
the deposit to be able to withdraw the bonus.

So, let's take Vegas Towers example. She deposited $500 wagered it once, made a withdrawal. I don't see anything wrong with it. After she receives $50 bonus she is supposed to wager 10x(50+500) = $5500.

Fortunelounge,

What did she do wrong?

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Ah I see what FL have said now - I'm not sure Catwoman is right

 

[tim5ny]

Fortune Lounge person... this board is constantly bombarded with complaints against your group. Maybe you care if people will come back and play again.. but it's obvious that the rest of the employees don't. It reminds me of the "good cop"/"bad cop" approach. They piss everyone off/ and you schmooze things over when it hits this forum.

 

[Catwoman]

Well they've finally given me the removed cashins back and also given me an extra $50 for my troubles.

Shame it's had to take all this really.

 

[bethug]

good job catwoman , i will never play there, to much mess for me

Fortunelounge,

HateMG: Thank you for your posting.

Catwoman complied with (5) above and was awarded the purchase match bonus. The issue is not about withdrawal here.

We complied with (6) and credited her account on the Monday.

She did not meet her wagering requirements on all three casinos she cashed in.

Again: On Desert Dollar she purchased $500 and received her purchase match bonus of $150. Because the wagering requirement is purchase x 10 and bonus x 10 she had to wager $6 500. She only wagered $581.

On Vegas Towers she purchased $500 and received her purchase match bonus of $50. Because the wagering requirement is purchase x 10 and bonus x 10 she had to wager $5 500. She only wagered $581.

On Fortune Room she purchased $350 and received a match bonus of $35. The wagering requirement is purchase x 10 and bonus x 10 - so she had to wager $3 850. She only wagered $535.

She made the withdrawals (cash-ins) AFTER she received her bonuses. If she made a withdrawal (cash-in) BEFORE her bonuses were added there would have been no wagering requirement.

I hope this answers your questions.

Catwoman: The bonuses were re-credited to your accounts as a sign of goodwill only. They still have to be wagered 10 times as per our mail to you.

My postings above are clear and show that you have not met the wagering requirements and that we were absloutely correct in our application of the Terms and Conditions. Your Playcheck statements prove that you are incorrect in stating that your account reached a zero balance. The statements you provided show clearly that your accounts only reached a zero balance when you cashed in. "Transfer Casino Credits to ECash" means that you have cashed in and your account would therefore revert to a zero balance.

I think you may have misunderstood her point with the playcheck postings. She was saying that her balance was $0 when she made her neteller deposits at each casino. Check the very top line of each playcheck log, its says something like 'Opening Balance $0.00' just before she makes a neteller deposit (except the 3rd one which was at $20 before the deposit). I think that was the point she was making, that she'd played out the bonus previously received and then played starting with a $0 balance at a later time with apparently no bonus applied, at least none that showed in the logs she posted.

Catwoman,

If you play out the bonuses they put in your account this time, make sure you logout of the casino for at least an hour before you deposit any more money. That should be enough of a span for the system to recognize that you zero'd out before you made a subsequent deposit.

What on earth are you talking about????????????

My Playcheck logs CLEARLY show that my balances were at ZERO before I made my deposit. They also CLEARLY show there were no bonuses added to my account before I made the cashin so exactly where do you get these wagering requirements from????????? Are you saying that bonuses you busted out on now carry wagering requirements over????

Also why on earth did you give me an additional 50 bonus if this was the case.

What you are saying here is completely different to what you said in the email's regarding this - in fact I have already withdrawn the returned money. To quote:


Hello Erich,

I take it I can withdraw the returned money straightaway?

Please can you add the 50 to my Platinum Play account.

Rgrds

Cath


Hi Catharine,

I have put a note on your account, to the effect that wagering requirements have been met for the bonus.

However you will need to meet the wagering requirements for the $50 bonus I will be crediting now, which is X10.

If you wish to cash out the other bonuses, you are welcome too.

Sincerely,



Erich



Aargh! I really can't tell you how angry this has made me - I've NEVER EVER not complied with any of your terms and conditions.

To clear things up maybe you can give me a straight answer to the following questions.

1) Do you accept that my balance was at zero prior to me making my deposits? (as shown in Playcheck logs)

2) Do you accept that no bonus was added to any of my accounts between me making my deposits and cashing in? (as shown in Playcheck logs again)

3) If you accept the two above questions (and I don't see how you can't seen as it's there in black and white) then are you now saying wagering requirements from previous bonuses lost do now carry over? If not where on earth do you get these wagering requirements from that I apparently didn't meet?

4) Why was I not informed that the money was removed from my cashins?

5) Why was I told by a member of your VIP support team that the removed money had been returned to my account when I initially enquired - when it hadn't?

I look forward to your answers.

P.S If this is the service VIP's get I really feel for your average customer.

P.P.S Note I have never referred to the returned money from my cashin's as bonus money - that's because it wasn't, the bonuses were lost well before my cashins.

She made her withdrawals (cash-ins) on Thusday 15 and Friday 16. Monday is 19. So it was BEFORE any bonuses were added.
