<div class="bbWrapper">Just think about it, $5 for every US player who can&#039;t play anymore. <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/eek2.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek2:" title="Eek2 :eek2:" data-shortname=":eek2:" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Unreal policy, ban US players then charge a service fee each month for not playing. Now looks like Belle-Rock (Referback) is following Party Gaming, this is an email I just received and they want to charge $30!<br /> <br /> <br /> *** WHAT IS THE DORMANT ACCOUNTS POLICY<br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> When players dont play on any of their casino or poker room<br /> accounts for six calendar months or more, and the accounts<br /> have credit balances remaining, a monthly administration <br /> fee is levied in accordance with the Dormant Accounts <br /> Policy.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> WHY DO WE HAVE THIS POLICY<br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> -The administration fee is levied to cover the cost of <br /> keeping the dormant accounts open as well as to cover the <br /> cost of ongoing attempts to contact players to let them<br /> know they have funds available to play online.<br /> The fee is a monthly deduction of 30 credits or the <br /> remaining balance (if it is less than 30 credits).<br /> Go to <a href="http://www.belle-rock-entertainment.com/DormantAccountPolicy" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">www.belle-rock-entertainment.com/DormantAccountPolicy</a> <br /> to view the Policy online.<br /> <br /> Belle Rock Entertainment includes: <br /> * River Belle Online Casino, Multiplayer Casino and Online <br /> Poker Room <br /> * The Gaming Club Online Casino and Online Poker Room <br /> * Lucky Nugget Online Casino and Online Poker Room <br /> * Jackpot City * Aces High * Showdown <br /> * Home Casino <br /> <br /> <br /> HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU<br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> Your account(s): *********<br /> has been dormant for five months.

<div class="bbWrapper">Presumably you have complaints from BelleRock clients in the 11 forbidden States to support this allegation? <br /> <br /> MGS casinos are, as far as I am aware otherwise accepting US players.<br /> <br /> BTW I have asked Party Gaming&#039;s head office for an official comment on this issue - no response thus far.</div>

 

[Auditor]

<div class="bbWrapper">This is the first time Belle Rock has sent me an email saying they are going to charge $30 per month for inactive accounts. I do not know if they are not sending these out to the &quot;forbidden 11&quot; players. I will get clarification from them and let you know what they say.</div>

 

[jetset]

<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;m assuming you&#039;re located in one of those states, and if this is the case then this is definitely out of line i.m.o.<br /> <br /> But it may be an admin snafu rather than a deliberate attempt to screw you, hence our request for official comment from the companies concerned.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">If they closed players accounts they should have cleared the account right then and there when they closed that account.<br /> This is plain wrong!</div>
