my experience at 32 red

[suzy1975]

hi all,
i am a regular every day player online and until now i championed 32 red who i have to say have been great with me up until recently.(well done steve and pat) Recently i have found that the runs i have had have been pretty poor around the 40/60% mark and it seems that this is okay .......well it was to one person anyway....however after a whole load of deposits and double deposits i have decided it is time for a break as its more of a donation i give now and when i went on to live chat to a lady supervisor she seemed unwilling to listen to me although my payout for the session was again under 50%. This has put me off and it probably cost them my deposits for the next few months as i can not continue to play where i feel uncomfortable as the lady in question(supervisor) said she had reviewed my account and she was unwilling to look at it again but then seemed surprised when i informed her i was deaf. This is one of the first things it says on my account!!!!! Anyway without trying to slaughter a casino who have been good to me in the past and their staff and as i said Steve Finnan and Pat Harrison have been faultless but because of this i am taking a break.....for now

cya

WOW, 32 Red? WTF

RTG players are taking a break around here, so taking a break from 32 red might not be a bad thing! I do hate you had problems with 32 red support, I thought they were the #1 CM casino for many years running? Maybe the elders can help??

In all fairness to 32R, suzy has something of a history of troubles and misunderstandings. Check her post history. I'm not saying she's a bad person, just that a black cloud seems to hang over her gaming and ... well, 32R ain't the first. Sorry suzy, just trying to put this in context.

That said I'll tip off the 32R guys to this thread.

Oh, thanks Maxd. Didn't look back..

Suzy, I think you owe 32Red an apology. I've learned that you were upset with your play results and tried to threaten them with bad posts here at Casinomeister. That is totally inappropriate behaviour, far below what we expect of our members.

You really need to make good on this. Please do the right thing here so we can leave this behind us.

I have been totally misunderstood on this occasion and did not wish to upset any1 and if i have done this i do apologize to 32 red for this. As i said in my thread i think Pat and Steve are great and have helped me in the past and although i did not name any1 particular person i will apologize for what was said as i can not go into specific details of my complaint without causing more grief so i will apologize and humbly walk away from this one.

Hi Max, i am sorry but i have never used c/meister as a weapon and never would i simply agreed that Pat could post a chat from my conversation with him. I have apologized to 32 red but in the same token i was not belittling them at all as all i have ever did was tell every1 how great they are but i can not hear therefore i have to depend on chat where sometimes things get mixed up. So once again if i upset any1 i apologize for that.

 

[maxd]

... i have never used c/meister as a weapon and never would ....

I beg to differ. I've seen the transcript of your chat and whether you intended it or not it came across as "I'm not happy with my winnings ... what can you do for me? ... I might have to go on Casinomeister and tell people how unhappy I am ... why won't you do something to make me happy?" The way I read it that's a threat, blackmail if you prefer, in an attempt to extort a freebie from them. Perhaps that's not what you were thinking but that is how it reads.

In any case, we're getting off the subject here. Your post says that the CS supervisor "seemed unwilling to listen to me". That is not at all the case. She listened to you, answered your questions, gave you almost all the stats you asked for except for that day's which apparently unavailable to her at the time. You obviously were hoping she'd come up with something else to alleviate your unhappiness and it was only when she said "sorry, there's nothing more I can do for you" that you got upset at her.

As to her being surprised that you are deaf I fail to understand how that is a valid criticism of anyone. If I was talking to you and didn't know that you were blind in one eye how would that be a fault of mine? Perhaps it would just mean you had a really nice glass eye.

The issue of your deafness only comes up in conversation when you bring it up. I mean seriously, this is the internet for heaven's sake. I could be a paraplegic dwarf with two different colored eyes and a Prince Albert and you'd never know it unless I talked about it. (Oops! Did I just give something away? )

Sorry Suzy but you've got a history of these kinds of actions, so the question is and remains: how is any of this 32Red's fault? From everything I've seen it is not which is why you owed them an apology.

Regards,
Max.

And all this time I thought you looked like Hugh Jackman Max....there goes that fantasy.

Suzy, I feel for anyone with any kind of disability, and I know there's alot here who feel the same. But I'm just not sure what being hearing impaired has to do with an online live chat....or with playing games on the internet.

I can only speak for myself, but I can honestly say in four years of playing at 32Red, I have never had ANY CSR there, be rude to me in any way, shape or form. They have had a couple over the years that I wasn't overly impressed with....but generally speaking, it wasn't just me obviously, as those couple didn't last a whole long time there. Beyond that, no problems. And providing I haven't abused the privilege, the few times I've asked for a comp when my playtime has really sucked....they've accomodated me...whether that be Steve or Pat. But again, I don't ask all that often and as a rule, playtime isn't one of my biggest complaints. I just give it a rest, and go back and try another day.

To be fair to suzy1975, even if she had made some "threats" in chat, I dont think her post could be seen as "bad". Calmed down a bit maybe?
Similar posts are made almost every day. She just vented about bad results and actually gave kudos to Pat and Steve.

And about the CSR rep dont knowing that she is deaf and why she was surprised about it. You can have notes on your account, for example I have that I cant reverse a withdrawal.
But in this case I think that the rep just reviewed the play, deposits , bonuses etc and didnt look at what possible notes the account had. So therefore maybe Suzy tought that she didnt review her account?

At first I tought it was just an attempt to "extort" a freebie (maybe it was or maybe not), but as said, similar posts are made almost daily.

And remember sometimes its the other way around Edit: not particularly 32Red or any person.

 

[maxd]

... I think that the rep just reviewed the play, deposits , bonuses etc and didnt look at what possible notes the account had. So therefore maybe Suzy tought that she didnt review her account?

Suzy asked specifically what her payouts had been over a couple periods, didn't like the answers, and that's when the discussion of being deaf came up. In the context of the conversation it had nothing to do with what was being discussed ... unless it was somehow supposed to make the CSR respond differently to Suzy's "is there nothing the casino can do to alleviate this a bit" request, referring to her poor payouts that day.

As I say, I've had these sorts of discussions with Suzy before and it's usually only when she is in some distress regarding the unsuccessful nature of her request(s) that the deafness issue gets mentioned.

As to her post here being "bad" or not I respectfully point out that saying "This has put me off and it probably cost them my deposits for the next few months as i can not continue to play where i feel uncomfortable" is not intended as a compliment or statement in support of the casino.

Come on, let's be real: Suzy is saying "I was treated badly at 32Red". This is pure bunk and that's where we have a problem here. It's one thing to say "I had a bad day, got any freebies for me?". It's quite another thing to take "No, sorry, not today" and somehow turn that into a bad thing the casino has done.

The casino did nothing wrong here. The CSR did nothing wrong. Suzy is out of line in her complaint against the casino and the CSR and that's why I'm calling her out on it. It's nothing more or less than that.

I don't think it is just 32 Red (even tho I can never have a win there) it is all casinos at the moment I think. In the last week I have played at William Hill, 32 Red, Lucky Red & Spin Palace - deposited lots & got little back in return. I did give up but just can't keep away as I love the pokies but I really should cut down my depositing so much as there is no-where that is paying like they used too & I have figured this out just by playing online for 7 months. I guess they have to make money as well but I think as every week goes by these casinos are getting greedier. JMO.

 

[TOC]

Maxd, I totally see where your coming from but my only question/concern within this thread is that you posted you read the chat between 32 red and the OP. It's not posted here by the OP so why would you have the access to this? If you're going to refer to the chat transcript, everyone should see it.

I'm in no way sticking up for the OP, I think I know what's going on here but I don't understand how you can view things that should be between the player and the casino and the OP should post this to plead her case!

32 Red should never let an outsider view a players chat transcript as far as I see it, please correct me if I miss understood your post.

>> I beg to differ. I've seen the transcript of your chat and whether you intended it or not it came across as "I'm not happy with my winnings ... what can you do for me? ...

The way I read it that's a threat, blackmail if you prefer, in an attempt to extort a freebie from them. Perhaps that's not what you were thinking but that is how it reads.<<

Again, I'm not sticking up for the OP but your reply of reading her chat bothers me. I'd be mad if 32 RED let you read my chat sessions without my approval, sorry!!!

 

[maxd]

Suzy gave approval for the chat to be seen and read.

I totally disagree that it should necessarily be posted -- just because I've seen something does not make it public property -- since this is not a debate on the issue.

I don't really care if the chat is posted or not, but I do care very much that the assumption is that the reasons for my decision regarding Suzy's use and abuse of the site should require public justification and the display of related materials. If that were true the Pitch-A-Bitch process, for example, would be DOA in a heartbeat.

The bottom line AFAIC is that Suzy was using CM to pressure the casino (whether she realizes it or not), that's wrong, and that makes it my business to call it out.

Nowhere in there is a public call to discuss the merits of Suzy's beef, in fact that's exactly what her tactics with 32Red were intended to do: turn this into a situation where 32Red is being pressured in public for absolutely no good reason whatsoever. It's a complete fabrication and by asking to get involved in the debate you are legitimizing the tactic. All bad if you ask me.

So am I saying that you need to trust me on this? Damn straight I am! And so I should. Protecting this site and monitoring it's fair and proper use by the membership is very much a part of my job here.

Sorry but I don't understand why you're trying to intimidate me inside this forum. Maybe a few people will read this before I'm deleted and possibly banned for sharing my opinion. This is a public forum, correct? Although it appears Susi might have been out of line your acting like this forum has alternative motives for backing up 32 red. You jumped on this like a dog on a bone! I wanted to let this die but after reading your rude response I had to respond. You could have said she agreed that I could read her chat and all is fine but then you started talking about how you wouldn't be important if this thread wasn't ended. Come on, thank you's by the followers. I do respect you for keeping piece around here but I don't respect you protecting certain casino's interest inside the forum when no facts have been shown.

She posted this in a public forum, why would I not respond? If you don't want me to respond close the freakin thread.

Susi posted this about her chat session:

>>Hi Max, i am sorry but i have never used c/meister as a weapon and never would i simply agreed that Pat could post a chat from my conversation with him.<<

Now, this was public and doesn't it appear she doesn't want her chat public? I really don't know what happened here and would be happy to let the thread die but I don't appreciate you trying to make me look like a fool inside your world, to be frank I never said her chat had to be posted. Freedom of speech, reply to what I was reading sounds fair to me and if you didn't want it to continue delete the thread and THE END! :notworthy I'm done unless you reply with horns, power, fire and BS. Cheers!!

This sounds so USA. The terrorists can decapitate their prisoners, but yet we can't sprinkle a little water on ours.

The only thing good about the liberals that took over this country (USA) is we might get online gambling back.

 

[maxd]

Sorry but I don't understand why you're trying to intimidate me ...

??? I have no idea why you would feel intimidated by anything I have posted here. If you wish to discuss that further please quote the specific statements that troubled you.

Maybe a few people will read this before I'm deleted and possibly banned for sharing my opinion.

Again, no idea where that is coming from. You'll have to be more specific, perhaps examples of people that were "deleted and possibly banned" for sharing their opinion would be in order if you wish to make those kinds of allegations.

You jumped on this like a dog on a bone!

I have some amount of history in dealing with this person's situations so I knew that it wasn't going to be as simple as it seemed. When I learned that she was trying to use Casinomeister to pressure the casino I did indeed respond quickly because that sort of thing is way out of line. I have and will continue to "jump on" such abuses of the forum without apology.

... your rude response ....

Again, please back this up with specific citations of said rudeness. I don't recall being so at all.

... I don't respect you protecting certain casino's interest inside the forum when no facts have been shown.

If a casino is being blackmailed by a Casinomeister member I do believe it is my responsibility to step in and do something about it. I would do that for any casino, and would also protect a player if they were being abused by a casino on the forums. That's my job.

And, as indicated previously, I don't think it is or should be necessary for me to offer "proof" in the routine pursuit of my duties here.

She posted this in a public forum, why would I not respond?

??? Who said anything about you should not respond? Specific references please. I said you should avoid feeding Suzy's manipulation of the casino by supporting, or taking seriously, her unjustified attack against them.

... I don't appreciate you trying to make me look like a fool ...

Understandable, but I don's see where any such thing has happened. I said that I disagreed that I needed to "prove" anything and that you were missing the point of the issue here. Nobody said or implied anything about fools.

... to be frank I never said her chat had to be posted.

When you said "If you're going to refer to the chat transcript, everyone should see it" I understood you to be saying exactly that. How was I mistaken?

if you didn't want it to continue delete the thread and THE END!

That's not at all how things are done here so ... not sure where you're getting that from. Specifics?

 

[Casinomeister]

Thanks Max for dealing with this during my "absence". I had an unexpected computer failure at my in-laws that pretty much kept me offline for the past couple of days.

Please people - do not threaten casinos (explicitly or implied) with negative postings in the forum. This is not Casinomeister-like conduct, and we don't like it.

closed my 32 red account today

hi there
after a long time playing with 32 red and depositing and winning some and then depositing and losing more than i won (which is the way of casinos) i have lost my passion for the casino altogether. I do not mind losing as ....god i am used to it now but just felt that it was my time to throw the towel in as (correct me if i am wrong) but the average payout of 98% or whatever that happens only rarely but you are never likely to get a payout of much more on an m.g casino as then you would have to expect big losses for a while to bring you back to the parameters of their expectancy? I loved the casino and the staff there but just think it is time to try playtech for a while. Anyway thank you 32 red for my time there and wish you all the success in the future.

 

[funeral979]

Not trying to sound rude or anything, but.....do we really need to start a new thread everytime we stop playing at a particular online casino?

And I seem to remember you started a thread about 3 weeks ago... also about 32RED, and you were going to be taking a break from them then?

 

[maxd]

I find myself in such agreement with the previous post that I'm going to merge this thread with the OP's previous "I'm unhappy with 32Red" thread. It all seems to be on the same topic and to the same purpose AFAICT.

Geesh, I agree with the above poster Suzy, you have been there and done this before. If you're mad about losing at 32 then stop playing there and move on! No more need for the I keep losing at this casino, I removed their software but damned if they aren't nice people crap. You slam them in every post you make with the bad vrs good so stop. Try the RTG casino's maybe you have the lucky IP address..

 

[big_mac]

Well, I was going to say that moving to a different casino because you are having 'bad luck' is rather pointless and you might as well just move your computer to a different room - unless you think they are cheating, and there's no evidence of that.

But now the threads have been merged and I am reminded of the original, there seems to be little point!

Although I don't agree with Suzi trying to bring down this casino without a good reason I do think that there's an alternative motive within the thread/ forum management, since it's been merged and so quick. I've seen no RTG threads merged and OMG there's been tons lately! Go figure!! What happened to Fair Play?

Geez TOC - still pushing the RTG barrow I see?

We all know YOU have a vested interest given that you operate an RTG casino - and we all know that CASINOMEISTER is completely impartial when it comes to software providers.

Max merging the threads had nothing whatsoever to do with Microgaming or 32Red or any other operator - it was about combining several whining member posts into one. Its been done plenty of times before.

If anybody around here has an alterior or hidden motive - its you.
