My Hype Withdrawal Experience

Hi all,

I know there have been a few players recently that have been anxious over HypeGaming withdrawals. I too have been in this situation so wanted to detail my experience to date!

Basically 2 weeks ago I made a $1500 deposit and withdrew a very nice $7200 (thanks in part to a x100 Magic Mushroom win on a $25 bet!). However, then the 'run around' started. However, after much chasing, contacting KWBlue on this forum and also other affiliates I know, Hype have put the following payment plan together for me:

17th Feb: $2200
23rd Feb: $2500
2nd March: $2500

Now this is fine for me, particularly since I really just wanted my deposit back to start. On this note, I am pleased to say that true to their word I did receive the first payment via NeTeller today. Similarly, I got an email stating the reason for delay was that all US$ funds were frozen even for non-US players. As such, they were transferring money over to make payments.

However, despite the poor communication and delays, it would appear so far that things are moving in the right direction. I hope this puts minds at ease for those waiting on payments. Of course, I'll keep you updated on how the plan goes.

Best of luck to those awaiting monies!

good to hear.
On the other hand:
I cant see any reason, why i should touch a casino, which needs to make a plan over several weeks for a 7 grand payout.
For me hype is gone down to the third class (or league).
 
Glad they are paying someone. I have had a withdrawal since mid January. They promised me payment yesterday which I never received. I've been in contact with their support team and with the rep Tristan here but I still haven't been paid. I'm ready to pitch my first bitch very soon.
 
Sorry to hear that Gem. I have to say I mailed the rep (Tristan) TWICE via the PM function here at CM and whilst he read the emails did not even write back... not good. I've had more correspondance from KWBlue who isn't even an employee for this casino! I've also asked my friend who runs a well-known gambling portal (and who I write for from time to time) to pressure the casino. Not sure what has done the trick, but something has worked, at least for the first withdrawal.

At least I have my deposit back now and $600 of the winnings. That was may major concern - that I might not even get the deposit back! Just to see if they pay the $5000 remaining now.

Really hope that you get your payment soon.

Better in instalments than nothing at all, I guess but if a casino needs to pay $7 000 in instalments (is there a weekly cap in the T&Cs btw?) I would regard that as an early warning flag.

Hype Gaming is reported to be the best of the three licensees using the comparatively recently launched Player Preferred software (see other thread) Of the other two there are disturbing reports regarding Inchilli slowpays and a reported change of ownership (already!) and Giant Palace has gone rather quiet.
 
Yes Jetset... there is - $10,000 per week...lol!

I have to say, if there really is a problem with all funds being frozen I can partly understand. However, the lack of communication is the major problem for me. I was told "2/3 business days" from outset which was clearly a lie. I just hope that they get some liquid money available to start paying out again and to rectify any damage that is currently being caused. Afterall, I think the games are fun and fair as do many other players, as public opinion on this board would suggest.

Hey guys...

I just noticed this post after a bit of vacation. Anyone interested, please send me the following details and I will take this up again with the Hype folks.. I would like to get everyone who is needing payment at once so that I can have them ALL looked at in one group instead of individually.

All I need is:

1. Hype Account Number
2. Date / Amount of Original Withdrawal
3. Date you sent identification documents

Any furthur communication with Hype would be great as well and if you feel like unloading your whole story with me, feel free.

I will send ALL info I receive on Wednesday this week, so please have your details in before then.

SEND TO: cashoutissues *AT* casinobonusfarm *DOT* com


Thank You - I will do my best to help out... again.

You just described a ponzi scheme. (or a pyrmiad, whichever you prefer)


kwblue:

You are the NUTS. I think it is very cool that you would do this for the players involved. :notworthy

Above and beyond, Kudos.

I hope this creates some positive karma for you, when you need it.:thumbsup:

while the air rising from the Hype smokestacks does have a foul odor, it doesn't necessarily imply a ponzi scheme. they could just be inadequately funded and had some lucky high-rollers? nonetheless, why do CM forum members who see these Hype payment issues continue to play there in the near term???

thats the point. Why not wait and see what remains, after the smoke has gone?
 
Strange Casino

Hype is a strange casino: Yesterday i have request a withdraw of $150 and today i have seen than there is this money on my neteller account.
While many times i must stand a week or more for for being paid :confused:
 
I received this email just now from Hype. Hope this means everyone is getting their monies now. Thanks KWBlue I am sure you had a lot to do with this!

Dear xxxxxxx,

We are pleased to advise that we have had confirmation that your winnings of $xxxx.xx has been sent to your account!

It may take 48 hours through the banking system.

The reason for the long delay is mainly the loss of Neteller and Click 2 Pay, we have had to arrange new banking facilities to be able to send money direct to you bank accounts.

The system is now operational and we will be able to ensure that you will receive your winnings more promptly in future.

Once again thank you for your understanding

Yours Sincerely

Casino Management

Yes, their plan is to get rid of the backlog caused in part by the Neteller fiasco. I sincerely hope that this brings all payment issues to a close quickly (and, I believe it will).
 
Hi Guys... well unfortunately my $2500 due Friday was not paid. I've put a call in to support (again!!) and will let you know. This really is annoying, particularly since I've been given guarantees that this casino is well funded. All very frustrating.

B.
 
I haven't received my withdrawals either. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt since my email arrived on Thursday. My bank may be just receiving it and hopefully accepting it. If it isn't in my bank account after midnight on Monday night I will be emailing Hype again!

:mad:
 
Well.. I moan and I get another payment :) Today $2500 was paid to my NeTeller account. I've also received an email stating the final $2500 will be paid next week. So... they are almost on track - just hope I get the last one next week.

Hope your guys waiting fund transfers got paid also.

Nope no payment from them today for me either. Gee I've only been waiting since January 18th. Maybe I'll get it by Spring.

That's ridiculous! :eek2:
I strongly suggest you keep asking them about it using the 'live chat' feature from within the casino software.
I had a few problems when I first signed up there, but the live CS were very helpful & quick.
It could be they're waiting for ID from you or something...?
 
This was not my first cashout and I have every correspondence with them regarding this cashout in writing. They are not waiting for documents from me. I'll post all the details once I get paid.
 
Hype has not settled with me either. I am now getting conflicting information. They said they processed my withdrawal last Thursday using ACH transfer. This was the email I received on 2/22.

Then today I received an email it had been completed two weeks ago.

Dear xxxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting us.

We have already sent out the payment to ACH 2 weeks ago therefore it is now up to them as to when they will process the payment into your account.

We will contact ACH again and check with them to find out the cause of this delay. But we believe that you should be receiving your payment by tomorrow perhaps. We are sincerely sorry for the inconveniece caused.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely,

Casino Support

Well it isn't in my checking account so I have no idea what they have done with it at this point. It was either processed on the 22nd of February or two weeks prior.

If any representative from Hype reads this please tell me where is my money!
 
Addison welcome to my world. They have been changing their story with me for over a month now. I emailed them yesterday but did not receive a response. I also got the same email on the 22nd saying that they were now set up to process ACH.
 
My last email was in response to my emailing them yesterday as well. I now have an additional withdrawal pending of $2200.00. Oh boy would it be nice to be flush with all this money the casinos and Neteller owe me!

On another note Bodog just sent me a check yesterday via USPS Priority Mail. That was odd since they had told me it had been mailed over two weeks ago.

Do you think two weeks is now the standard phrase when replying to our emails?

:lolup: :lolup: :lolup: (deranged laughter)
 
Sorry to hear your experience, guys... I do think now though that Hype are trying... i am in the UK so NeTeller is an option for my withdrawal and indeed I've been paid pretty much on schedule. Perhaps even ACH etc. is having problems with the recent US stuff?

Really hope you get paid soon - it's horrible having decent cash-ins pending at a casino.

Inchilli Payout Issue

Nope no payment from them today for me either. Gee I've only been waiting since January 18th. Maybe I'll get it by Spring.

I also have received the email stating that my winnings have been sent!!

It is now Tuesday morning 2/27/07 - and no payment. Inchilli seems to stall 1 week at a time. Well I have fallen for it for the last time 2 weeks ago, and I have already pitched-a-bitch. I knew this last letter was a lie. KWBlue thanks for your help so far, as you have provided the most input on this issue, and you don't even work for Inchilli.

For those interested, I made my withdrawal request of $800 on January 26, 2007. Thanks for the wonderful forum.

Sincerely,

ME
 
**UPDATE ON CASHOUT**

Hi...Just wanted to update everyone on my cashout at Inchilli casino...I too received an email exactly like some of the people here.. Here is the conversation I had with support on the 27th of February :

---

<Operator> welcome to inchilli, how may i help you?
<User> I wanted to check now that accounting is in..What they have found out about my ach payment of $xxx.xx hasn't gotten to me yet....
<User> the 2nd question is why is my payment $xxx.xx when my withdrawal was $xxx.00
<User> still there?
<User> ?

<Operator> hi,
<Operator> i am here
<User> hehe
<User> just checking
<User> Im working on something also...
<Operator> to your 2nd question it is because theres an $10 charges for all ACH transaction
<Operator> your initial withdrawal was xxx.xx
<User> ok
<User> that would be easier to swallow if I knew where the ach transaction was
<Operator> and the ACH bank have just told us that they have process all the payment and all your payments will be in your account in a day or two
<User> have they sent them or not?
<Operator> we have sent them out since one and a half week ago
<User> there are several people that have received the same letters as me...that my winnings have been sent.....they received the letters on the same day as me.
<User> The letter I received was it not true ?
<User> has the bank sent them or not?
<Operator> it is true
<Operator> but the payment was held up by ACH
<Operator> therefore it didn't reach your account
<Operator> we too do not know the reason behind the hold up
<User> ok
<User> so they are already within the ach system?
<Operator> yes
<User> so could be tomorrow?
<Operator> it is waiting for ACH to process it and bank it into your account
<Operator> it would take a day or two that's what they have told us
<User> so since fe5w
<Operator> right now we too are trying to find more payment method incase ACH doesnt work again
<User> so since feb 22 ach has been waiting to process?
<User> that doesn't seem right
<Operator> yes it doesnt seems right we too do not know the reason behind the hold up by ACH
<User> but the bank knows there is no hold up now?
<Operator> that is what ACH just told us that they will process it right now and the money will be the user's account in 1 or 2 days
<User> ok
<User> thanks
<Operator> you're welcome and we are apologised for the inconvenience we have caused you

---

Once again the time nears the end of the week, and I start to be a bit cynical to this casino's lies. So I decided to chat up the operators at this establishment tonight on the 28th - If anyone knows a recourse that can be taken for anyone affected by this ...please respond... Here is the transcript :

:>

<User> hi
<Operator> Hi, how can i assist you ?
<User> you guys find out anything new on the ach withdrawal delays ?
<Operator> Please hold on while i check.
<User> ok
<User> thanks
<Operator> Sorry, there is still no updates on the ACH withdrawal delays. Maybe you can check your account in 1 or 2 days.
<Operator> We will still continue to look into the corresponding banks. If there is any update, we will inform you via email.
<User> hmm
<User> that would put at us the weekend AGAIN
<User> conveniently...another week has passed..
<User> last night I was told there was confirmation from the bank that they have processed it ?
<User> which one is it ?
<Operator> We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.
<User> AND?
<User> Which one is it?
<User> Why don't you get a tracking number and let me check for myself ? That would prove much more efficient..
<User> Or atleast a bank name...so I can ask if there is something I can help move this along qith..
<User> with
<User> its over 1 month now, and I'm starting to get a tad angry
<Operator> Please hold on while i check.
<User> ok
<Operator> Sorry, i will need to refer this management. Can i get back to you via email ?
<User> YOu know how many times you guys tell me that...and guess what ...no e-mail..
<User> but sure..
<User> when shall I expect your response ?
<Operator> Once i get the details from the management, i will send you an email about the details.
<User> ok
<User> when shall I expect you to talk to management ?
<User> hello?
<Operator> I will do it as soon as possible.
<Operator> Please be assured that we will give you a reply on the issue.
<User> do you understand that every response given is vague ?
<User> reply by when ?
<User> 1 day - 2 months - never ?
<Operator> Sorry, we will try to get back to you within 1weeks time.
<User> there are multiple people very upset , and forums that are no longer promoting your casino over this issue - all of us with the SAME letter that the payments have been sent...It would seem to me that DAILY Updates if not HOURLY updates would be of the utmost importance considering the loss of revenue your casino is, if not WILL BE, losing due to this issue with the banks
<Operator> We will try to update you on the details as soon as possible.
<User> If I were you guys, I'd be livid, and switch banks, fire people, etc ...because of the damage this can do to my business....but instead I get a la-dee-da approach...You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out YOU guys are the ones not sending the payment
<User> If your casino needs a loan maybe I can be of assistance.
<User> :)
<User> Good evening sir, thank you once again for wasting my time...
<Operator> We apologised for any inconvenience caused.
<User> yeah
<User> hey
<User> what about his conversation , how do you explain it ?
<User> :>
<User> <Operator> yes it doesnt seems right we too do not know the reason behind the hold up by ACH
<User> but the bank knows there is no hold up now?
<Operator> that is what ACH just told us that they will process it right now and the money will be the user's account in 1 or 2 days
<User> ok
<User> thanks
<Operator> you're welcome and we are apologised for the inconvenience we have caused you
<User> <:
<Operator> Yes, that is what ACH told us.
<Operator> Our accounts branch is already been looking into the issue.

SO There you have it people.....crap upon crap...
 
Great post (above)! :thumbsup:

But maybe it should be moved to it's own thread as this one is about Hype, and that post is about inChilli. (Mods?)

I have flagged inChilli as 'not recommended' on my site now, since they still owe me affy money from December & January. (Bank screen says 'sent' - but where to heaven only knows... :mad: )
This is very sad because although CM gave them the award for 'stupidest name' I actually like it and their image, and of course, I love the software (great slots!). If they would only get their act together they could become a big & popular casino. But they need to do it fast - before any more damage is done. :(
 
Inchilli is DEFINITELY different owners than Hype. Please do not mix the two up if you are reading about InChilli.

I will try to talk to some people over at InChilli about this, but all of my contacts there have disappeared (or no longer respond).
 
The saga continues. Now my money will be in my bank account in 2-3 days. I think if they are having problems they should just be upfront with their players. What is so hard about informing us!

My cashouts are from early February but I know there are a lot of people who are still dealing with January withdrawals! This is unacceptable!

I will make a deal with Hype Gaming. You pay everyone the monies they are due and you might not lose all of us as players! Many people have given up on Hype altogether. Can you blame them!

Players are important to casinos. We are what drives your revenue. I would think you would want to keep us happy. What a concept! Happy players make for return business!
 
Well said Addisyn. I gave up on Hype when their contact here PM'ed me asking me to personally email him my issues with this casino. I did just that and never received a response. That to me is totally not acceptable and I knew from then on that Hype wouldn't be getting any more of my money. I do love the games but in order to be able to play at any casino I need to feel like my money is safe, and that I am going to be treated the way a customer should. It's like going to Walmart and asking for cash back on your debit card transaction only to be told by the cashier that they are out of cash but they'll try and get it to you within the week. Wouldn't go over well would it?! And yet it happens time and time again in the online gaming world and people keep going back. I am all for second chances but this place has gotten way more than 2 chances and is proving to get worse and not better. I am just glad that there are forums such as this so that I can learn from other peoples mistakes and not have to learn by putting my hard earned cash on the line.
 
During the last two weeks I have recieved at least 4 emails with bonus offers from Hype - 50% , 100% and 200% bonuses.

This kind of desperation has been seen before at RTG casinos that have
cash problems (before they go down).

I do particular not like that they do not answer emails or have posted anything here in the last week.

I did receive my money 2 weeks ago, but that was after waiting 6 weeks.

Zoozie
 
:mad: :mad: :mad: I don't get it. I'm really pissed off now.I have a pending withdrawal at Hype but that is recent. I have an Inchilli one for 2-months now and I get the same letters and run-around that everyone else is getting. My latest one came yesterday when they asked me to re-fax my ach info because they said my routing number was no good.Well, i double checked and my routing # is correct.Then they sent me an e-mail today saying that if I sent them my SWIFT code (not sure how to get that) then it might help the process move along quicker. This truly sucks! I like the games but enough is enough! It looks like I'm out $800. I noticed a post earlier that Hype is not afilliated with Inchilli but I think they are. I get the same messages and responses from both of them.Anyways I don't know what else to do but quit playing there.:mad: :mad: :mad:
 
:confused: **More Lunacy** (Chat Logs inside <--- Let's Watch)

Sorry about my earlier post in this thread regarding my delayed, but basically, non-existent cash-out from Inchilli. I know this is a Hype thread, but here I have a twist for you. I have been accessing the live chat feature from the Hype website every other day or so, because like the person before me, I also believe Hype & InChilli are affiliated. So, I figured I would put this post in this thread because I AM @ the Hype website (live chat), but the questions I'm asking are about mine, and those other who have not received payments yet (both Hype customers, and Inchilli). Here is the transcript from March 2, 2007 appx 6:15 pm (pacific). Notice the time on the other end of support (10:xx pm). I thought this casino was in Canada. Anyhoo - on with the comics :)

:..>

Welcome to Hype Gaming, how may we help you?
Your ticket number is 14114
10:14:43PM - You: hi
10:14:53PM - Operator: Hi how may i help?
10:15:10PM - You: any updates with the delayed cashouts ?

10:16:29PM - Operator: Hi, I'm sorry but our account branch is not in office today. Report had been sent to them regarding the pending withdrawals but they will only be back on the following Monday.
10:17:21PM - You: so are we in for another week of "maybe 1 or 2 more days" ?? Until the week is over again ?
10:17:47PM - You: why wouldn't accounting be in ? This issue seems pretty urgent..
10:19:32PM - Operator: I will file a report on this to our account branch and will try my best to get them to expediate the withdrawals. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and delay.
10:19:42PM - You: have you folks thought about giving people online cash cards ? Like virtuacards...or something ?
10:20:38PM - Operator: We had gave out some virtuacards earlier but not now for the time being.
10:20:40PM - You: money orders through the mail, etc..
10:21:00PM - Operator: We had gave out some virtuacards earlier but not now for the time being.
10:21:32PM - You: did you just copy and paste that line ? or is this not a person ?
10:21:45PM - You: do you know why they aren't sending out the virtuacards now ??
10:22:58PM - Operator: We are not informed why the cards are not being gave out. I will file a report on this to our management and will get back to you as soon as possible.
10:23:35PM - You: how are you going to get back to me?..you don't even know who I am...
10:23:38PM - You: ??
10:24:26PM - Operator: I'm so sorry for the mistake. May i have your email and name?

< :..


I got to thinking about this conversation....It is so blatantly rude on their end not to mention that I am CONVINCED 100% they have no intention of telling me the truth on where my money is. I do however have a question : How many people that have not received their payments from either Hype or Inchilli have only made a small deposit and are withdrawing a large amount ? For example - I deposited $25, and my cash-out was $800 (minus $10 for the transfer, which hasn't happened). I ask this question because I can't fathom why they would want to do such bad business, and I do hear that some people did get their money. Anyway, I appreciate everyone's ears, and I apologize if this was the wrong thread. Good luck everyone...

P.s. - Why can't they simply send a money order or western union us our funds? Or better yet like someone posted earlier, a prepaid gift card damnit! There really is soooo many ways they could get us our money - - - further proof they just do not have the funds.

P.s #2 - What good is it to complain to the Kahnawake people ? Do they even investigate this stuff? A friend of mine never even got a reply from them regarding a Casino Tropez problem about 1 year ago. I don't even see Inchilli's name on their list of Casino's either, and the link to Kahnawake is not clickable either, and I think it's supposed to be.

Ok. That's it for me. Any other info would be appreciated - I am willing to do what I can to at least make these guys accountable for their actions, even if I have to piss away my winnings.....

Sincerely,

Me
:cool:

 
Sorry about my earlier post in this thread regarding my delayed, but basically, non-existent cash-out from Inchilli. I know this is a Hype thread, but here I have a twist for you. I have been accessing the live chat feature from the Hype website every other day or so, because like the person before me, I also believe Hype & InChilli are affiliated.
I was assured on good authority, that Hype & inChilli are separate casinos - but DO share the same support team.
This could explain the post above.

Everything is looking extremely dodgy right now.
I am an affiliate to both casinos, and this is my current status:-

inChilli:
Still waiting for affy payments for Dec & January.
But my player(s) are still playing there - so either their withdrawals are going through OK, or they are never withdrawing at all. (I can't tell).
This is very frustrating because the amount inChilli owe me is growing month by month.

Hype:
I am owed an affy payment from January.
Previous payments were made in the middle of the month, so this is now 2-weeks late...

The alarm bells are getting louder.... :(
 
Here is a copy of the email that I sent to the 2 reps on the board here Justin and Tristan. Justin did respond and asked me if I would furnish him with my phone number so he could call me. Even though it's the same number on my account I did give it to him. He emailed me back a few hours later stating he would be on the road most of today AND they were expecting a snow storm in his area so he may lose power(just an FYI to me). Anyway on to the email I sent it somewhat sums up the BS I've been going through.


Justin & Tristin,

You have been copied on quite a few of the emails that I have had with Hype
support. Tristan you have been informed of my situation right from the start,
yes you Tristan 42 days ago when I cashed out.

The day I cashed out was also the day Neteller stopped servicing US customers. I would have completely understood if Hype was honest with me and told me that they needed to figure out alternative withdrawal methods for US customers. That didn't happen. Instead I've been lied too and given the run around for 42 days.

I asked right in the beginning what were my options-check? wire? western union?.
I was told by you Tristan that Hype could process a wire transfer and that a
check would take too long(HA). I supplied the wire information. I went back and forth with support about the information I gave and finally after a few days it was good enough. Then I had to start inquiring about the wire and ask when it would be sent. The standard answer was "your wire will be sent soon" I asked support to define soon and never got an answer to that. Then I get a email on the 9th of February saying "Your wire has been processed and should be in your account by the 16th". Now I know it was just a stalling tactic because you never wired the funds nor did you have any intention of wiring the funds. Well the 16th came and no wire from Hype. I sent a email on the 16th and received this gem of a reply:
"As on our record it is stated that you will be expected to received your
payments on friday 16th february 2007 "


It was the 16th and no funds. that was my reply. Then I received another email back stating that ACH would now be the withdrawal option and I needed to fill out a ACH form even though it was all the information Hype already had. I filled out, faxed,scanned it and emailed a copy which Hype acknowledged receiving.

6 days later(with emails from me in between asking for a status and Hype saying they would check with the processor on the delay) on the 22nd of February I receive a email which you were both copied on that stated:

"We are pleased to advise that we have had confirmation that your winnings of $XXX.xx has been sent to your account!

It may take 48 hours through the banking system.

The reason for the long delay is mainly the loss of Neteller and Click 2 Pay, we have had to arrange new banking facilities to be able to send money direct to you bank accounts.

The system is now operational and we will be able to ensure that you will
receive your winnings more promptly in future.

Once again thank you for your understanding

Yours Sincerely

Casino Management"

The above email was another lie in my opinion, since today is now March 1st and I still have not received my funds. I have done 2 other ACH withdrawals from other casinos and they both went into my account 48 hours after receiving the email that my cashout was processed.

Now today I get the vague response to my inquiry of where my money is. Here is todays response:
"Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting us.
Your payment should be in your account already. We apologised for the delay and any inconvenience caused"


Then I responded back with this but you should know what I responded back with since you were both on the email:

"So Hype has confirmed with your bank/processor that the payment was sent and it successfully hit my account? Or are you saying that the payment should be in my account but you can't confirm it?

Please clarify your response."


I then got this vague response back:
"Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting us.

According to ACH, the funds have been transferred to your account already. We apologised for the delay and any inconvenience caused."


I then asked EXACTLY what date were the funds sent and Hype went silent.

I am so sick and tired of the lies and run around I'm getting. It's not like I
need this lousy $XXX to live on but it's the point that Hype does not have the
integrity to be honest with me. What I have figured is ACH was never set up at Hype and it probably takes up to 2 months to get it set up on ACH and Hype is just giving me the bullshit run around. If you were honest with me from the beginning I would be a lot more understanding 42 days after my original cash out but the way I've been treated is disgusting to say the least.

At this point you should be dipping into your petty cash or take up an office
collection and send my money to me Western Union with Hype paying the fees. I offered to pay the fees over a month ago but now I don't feel I should pay anything with lies I've been told by your company.

I would expect some sort of reply and please don't tell me something that is not true.

Thanks,
 
Like KasinoKing, I am also owed affiliate earnings. The reason for the delay was 'they couldnt send funds via neteller' - which is odd considering Im a non-US member :what:

I would definitely avoid Hype like the plague. The responses to my emails (when I get one) are 'it will be there in the next few days' - since 4th feb!!

Another one bites the dust.
 
I think I spend more time these days trying to collect my winnings on the off chance I have any than I do actually playing at the casino's. I also have a withdrawal in with Hype that I doubt I will ever see, it is amazing club player even paid me over a grand faster than this lol.
 
Couldnt we consider to stop this hype Hype?
They may have nice slots, and they were powerful promoted by some forum members- ok.
But now anything to be said about them is:
they dont pay their players in a reasonable way. They seem to be short of funds. Their CS is not recommendable. Their future is uncertain.
And ?
What is it what should make hype an object of discussion?

This hits the nail on the head, and applies to both Hype & inChilli.

If they were only honest & up front and said "We're sorry, we are experiencing serious problems with payment processors, but please be assured your payment will be sent in X-weeks." I think the majority of players would be understanding & prepared to wait.
But instead players (and affiliates) are just being met with silence, unexplained delays, or just blatant lies.
This is just not acceptable.

The image I have in my head is of these guys stuffing all the players & affys $ into a big suitcase by the door, waiting to the very last minute to suddenly close the casinos and do a runner... :mad:

Have you tried changing to a different payment method?

I'm going to try it & see what happens. I will report back (in x-weeks!)

Yup - I gave them my bank wire details around 4-5th Feb as they requested, as they notified me they couldnt pay via neteller. Looks to me like they dont have enough money to pay everyone, otherwise they wouldnt be sending payments out in 'batches' as they state in their emails. I mean, what is the difference between sending 50 bankwires or 100 bankwires at once???...unless of course you only have enough money for 50 :rolleyes:

I know this is frustrating for everyone (including myself), but to suggest that they are having any sort of 'money issues' or 'lack of funding' is wrong.

Hype is well funded and will be around for a very long time. Adjustments to issues are being handled... NOBODY will be left without being paid what they are owed. While there is no way for me to prove this, I do know it to be true.

As far as InChilli - I have no idea what is going on over there because all contacts have disappeared (or so it seems). I have tried to contact individuals there, but have had no response and bounced emails.


OK - I'm ready for my thrashing now :D


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may PM me or send me our cashout details to: CashOutIssues *at* casinobonusfarm *dot* com

I will try to help the best that I can.. emails sent are private and will not be shared in their entirety - only details (such as Hype Acct #, Cashout dates & amounts, and names) necessary for identification will be sent. Emails will NOT be used for anything other than discussing payment issues.

I am sure they are well funded, heck if you take in and not pay out you are well funded so what are the issue's that need to be adjusted? Since I consider any money I have out there these days play money I am not too worried about the $500 they owe me but when I read statements like they are well funded but have other issues to address just leads me to believe they are mismanaged then.

Your post here shouldn't put anyone that really thinks they are going to get paid at ease at all. You basically just stated that you have no idea what is going on either but it seems like you are taking someone at their word from Hype that people will get paid someday.

What problems are they having that are not funding related? If it is processing ACH transfers then they shouldn't tell people that they are already on the way when they aren't. Heck, how long does it take to key in a few numbers and make a ACH transfer if the funds are there and you have all the information? I am thinking about 30 seconds, I know my deposits all 5 of them went through to them in mere seconds and I didn't get confused with the deposit procedure :-).

Good luck to you with trying to spin this in a positive way but until everyone is paid I highly doubt you will see any positive posts about Hype on here for a long time.
 
I'm not looking for 'positive posts' nor am I trying to spin anything. I'm just trying to help out. I do not need to do that at all, but I enjoy helping people out where I can.

You do not have to believe what I say.. I didn't ask you to. However - putting words into my mouth... ugh. Please refrain.

Rettahs said:

I stated no such thing.
 
Kwblue really is trying to help - he has helped me and many others to sort out issues over the past 6 months - and he should be given credit for that.

I really do hope that things are going to turn out OK, as I hate to see well-intentioned people get screwed by the outfits that they advocate.

However, I also must agree with Rettahs regarding the whole funding issue. There are still options available to remit to US players, and there are many many more options to those outside the US (including myself). I can still use Neteller, for example. I have been promised a bank wire, and I know for a fact that it doesnt take 5 weeks to send a wire - its actually a very easy process - almost as easy as sending my funds via Neteller.

Hype, if they want to recoup any credibility at all, needs to come to this thread and post exactly what the issues/problems are. The emails they send dont really shed any light on the matter and all they are doing at the moment is erecting a neon sign with a flashing 'DO NOT PLAY HERE' on it. Hype needs to understand that it is VERY difficult to rebuild confidence in the online player community once it is lost.

Again, I think its great that kwblue offers his time to help, but in a well-managed casino it just shouldnt be required.

LOL I love it when people ask for a thrashing then when someone just points out that they have not said anything of any substance besides the same old "While there is no way for me to prove this, I do know it to be true." you act as if I put words in your mouth. Help us out and try to at least backup what you have said with some sort of real post.

Have you been in contact with them?

If so what did they say to put you at ease and lead you to believe they will pay everyone so NOBODY is left unpaid.

What are the issues if they are not funding issues?

If you are going to defend Hype, at least do it with some facts not just the same old company line of broken promises and well wishes :-).

I have nothing against you or hype and as I said I could care less about my money that they have but if you are going to post an update, update things with a bit more news and not just rumors.
 
I would like to know why I have been lied too over and over again. Here it is March 5th and I cashed out January 18th and have been told lie after lie that my money is on it's way.

Like I said to my email to Tristan & Justin my guess is ACH was never set up with Hype's banking system and it probably takes 2 to 3 months to get it set up and running. AND if that is the case then stop the friggin lies already.

So what are the issues if they are not poorly funded?

A Hype representative should be replying to these questions. Where are they?
 
Another Conversation ..Another Monday ....

Just thought I would post my latest conversation w/ support @ Inchilli.

: >

<Operator> how may i help you?
<User> I'm pretty sure you know how you can help me...
<User> you can pay me :)
<User> what's the deal this week with the ach delays ?
<User> sorry....i'm just a bit upset
<Operator> have you checked your bank today?
<User> didn't mean to snap at you.
<Operator> we are also sorry for the delayed but we are told that the payments have gone through already
<User>

Account No.: xxxxxxx


Available Balance* : ($0.40)

<Operator> please hold on for a moment
<User> Ok
<User> Since the money isn't hear, how about you guys western union the money, and I'll even pay the fee's ?
<User> I have bills, and other matters that can not wait any longer...
<Operator> please hold on for a moment
<User> ok
<User> Holding . . . (12 minutes)
<User> holding . . . (5-8 minutes)
<Operator> hi, thank you for your patience
<Operator> with regards to the issue, we have sent the payments to ACH already and we are told that it have been processed
<Operator> however if you wants to do it by western union, we could have to trace it down before we are able to process it by western union for you.
<Operator> hi, are you there?
<User> yes
<User> ok
<Operator> we are sorry for the inconvenience caused
<User> so at what point do you guys start worrying that your money is not getting where the bank says it is ?
<User> as far as tracing the money down to western union, that's the WHOLE problem here now...you guys don't know where the money is...
<User> so that statement doesn't even make sense.
<Operator> ACH have just told us that it is in the players account already two days ago
<Operator> therefore we are shock when you have told us the payment is not in yet
<Operator> hi, are you there?
<User> So...ACH people are lying to you?
<Operator> we are unsure about it, therefore we can't give you a definite answer. But rest assure we will get the payments in to your account as soon as possible
<User> yeah..I'm sure
<User> So what about the people that are now 3 months out for withdrawals as small as $100 ??
<User> were those payments sent out 2 days ago too ?
<Operator> it was sent out 2 weeks ago
<Operator> but we are told that it is in the account already 2 days ago
<User> And what about the rumors that your casino is going under? and planning NOT to pay its customers ?
<Operator> rest assure, our casino is definitely going to pay our customer. Its only US customer that we are having difficulties paying
<User> What I'm not understanding is : Your ACH processor is telling you the monies are already in peoples accounts as of 2 days ago. yet they are not. So, therefore why not track the payment ? I have spoken with several banks, and they ALL tell me that the sender can EASILY check the status of a payment, and not only that - the sender is notified AUTOMATICALLY if a payment has failed..... Answer is simple, and yet week after week goes by, with answers from your accounting department like "check in 1-2 days"
<User> And before you know it **POOF** another week has passed, and accounting nor managers are available on the weekends.
<User> Are we in for another week like the past 4 ?
<Operator> we are trying to track the payments
<Operator> alright the thing with ACH is that we do not interact with them directly as there is a person in the middle as a intermediaries doing the transactions for us
<Operator> if we were to track the payment we could also have to go through him
<User> this *him* is he the weak link ?
<Operator> we have request for a record of the payment from him already but he have not replied to us yet
<Operator> remember the delayed in payments by ACH last week? it was because of the intermediaries that caused the delay
<User> and they still haven't responded?
<Operator> they have told us the payments should be in the accounts of the users

** At this point I had enough, and went out for a smoke . . . Stay tuned for more from the land of la-dee-dah :'/)



Sounds like it might be getting better, but then I've fallen for this several times over...they will bait me for another few days, and then it's the weekend. Take from it what you want. :)

:eek2:
 
I still don't understand why people take their anger out on CSR's. As they said earlier in the conversation, they're stuck in the middle. The only thing they know is what's told to them by mgmt & the finance dept, nothing more.
Simple - the CSR are the only people you can communicate with.
There are no contact details for finance, management or the affiliate team - apart from via their web-based e-mail system - which NEVER get answered. :mad:

(Note: We are talking about inChilli here, not Hype).
