Hi

I won 4170$ more than a month ago and they don't pay

I was asked to send documentation here is the email

After I sent all the documents required they come with a new email

Kfir,
According to the Casino manager he wants you to answer another question before WebDollar will be able to pay out your winnings:
Where are you playing from (home, company, internet caf?) How many people are playing from that place? Are you playing alone or are you playing together with other people?

Best regards,
Niklas Carlsson
WebDollar AB


I answered the questions but they didn't process the cashout I made of 4170$

I won 9000$, 5000$ was paid and now they owe another 4170$ and they don't process it as promised.

I wish to know if any other player is not getting paid by Pharaohs and how can I get my money

Hi Dadoni,

You need to chill. Several Boss Media sites have been hit up by fraudulant Israeli players and an inverstigation has been underway. You have been made aware of this so I don't know why you are posting this information. I see you have filled out a "Pitch a Bitch" form, but since you are dissing one of my sponsors, why do you think I'll go out of my way to help you?
 
reply to the casinomeister

I was never told there is an investigations on Israeli players

The only emails I receive regarding this issue is the two emails I attached to the complaint.

I just told my story for other players from Israel or not for them to know there is a possibility for them not getting paid. and of course trying to get my money from them.
 
I have just receive a reply from the manager about this investigation

I am waiting for a long time and now they say I have to wait more because it is going to take time

I don't understand why when you win they make an investigation on your account and when I lost thousands in their casino I didn't make any investigation but gave them the money with no questions

It's pretty simple. You make a deposit at a casino - the deposit is accepted, and once it is accepted that's it. If you win money and make a withdrawal, you get that money back plus the difference. Some fraud is not detected until withdrawals are being made - not when deposits come in. I'm not saying that you are a fraudulent player, but a number of Boss Media casinos were hit by some bozos who think they are being slick. Hope you are not one of them.
 
That is going to ruin the fun for every Israeli player even the honest ones.
It was like they stopped offering bonuses to dutch players or asking for an extra large wagering requirement for those players.

Recently Gold Club stopped offering monthly bonuses, is that related?
 
I've come across a lot of casinos that restrict certain territories: usually the same ones. Denmark is another that crops up a lot. Its a shame that the honest people get tarred with the same brush but i can perfectly understand the caution that casino's proceed with. I'd be the same if there was repeated fraud from one area. Eastern Europe and Asia has a rep in many areas of online business for fraudulent credit card use unfortunately. Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan also.

Most casinos are up-front in their T&C's about this though I find.
 
Look at that

I received this Email from Pharaohs which means they decided not to pay my winnings 4170$

They definitely stole my money , all is written is a complete lie I have one account for I think 1 year and a half

Kfir Dadon,
Recently a large fraud was detected in our casino. As a result the
casino
management has started an investigation in cooperation with Bossmedia
and
WebDollar. The outcome of this investigation irrefutably shows
fraudulent
gaming behavior in your account.

Our terms & conditions for wagering and bonuses published at
You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.
specifically forbid the
use of
more than one account. In the rules it is also clearly stated that it
is not
allowed to claim multiple bonuses from a shared computer environment.

According to our information you have abused our system and tried to
manipulated the detection systems, therefore your account will remain
closed
and any winnings on all accounts will be null and void. All cash-ins
are
being cancelled.

Please note that complaints will be made and the local authorities will
be
contacted.

Sincerely,
David Silverman
Pharaoh's Casino manager

Simmo, I don't think there was any particular problem with fraud in Denmark - it's just someone showed on TV how to be a bonus whore :D Presumably there weren't a huge number of on-line gamblers there beforehand & then suddenly there were a lot of 'sharp players'. As the t&cs were so generous at the time it must have done a lot for the country's GDP!

There are probably more people playing the bonuses in the UK now but it's still no doubt a small proportion of the total number of gamblers - so it would lose the casinos money if they banned the UK, whereas it presumably saved them some cash from Denmark.
 
Danish players are not more fraudulent than others - that has IMO always been a poor excuse.
 
I would think that Danes are on the whole more honest than the average person in the world. The problem is that they are too good at bonus hunting or advantage play, so casinos think that it is not profitable to give Danes bonuses or only give bonuses with worse terms than for residents of other countries.

Like previously mentioned there was a TV show about it in Denmark. So suddenly the ratio of normal players/advantage players in Denmark changed. Casinos can probably handle if 10% of players are bonus hunters. But when 50% of players from a certain region becomes bonus hunters casinos lose money.

It is of course possible that with increased awareness of bonuses in a certain country (Denmark, Israel) the chance of scammers popping up increases. After all if it is profitable for one guy to do it, it will be ten times as profitable for this guy to do it with ten accounts.

I do have a problem with "shared computer environment". It can mean very different things. For example some university networks have a huge number of users with similar ip numbers, I could have similar IP as other ADSL users in this city. I do hope the casinos have a very good case before accusing anyone of fraud, but the simple fact is that they don't have to. They themselves decide these things. There is no third party involved. And for forum readers like us there is no way to tell the difference.

In cases like this I have to be a bit critical about the casino. If there are flagged locations they know it when the user signs up/deposits/plays (if not, they are extremely incompetent in their anti-fraud work). To only react when he wins big and tries to cash out is not the way to handle things.
 
I received the same email from Playersclub

They chargebacked me for 3263$ winnings and deposit(200$)

It is amazing, they stole my money and they threat me in the email that they will tell the authorities that I played in their online casino

I never chargebacked them and never open more than one account in ANY boss media casino, shame on them.

I need to think of a good way to make them pay me my money

As I said before I found a link between all the accounts involved, All of them are players from Israel who made thousands of $ which they don't want to pay
 
Were you playing on a shared computer?
 
I played from home

They even asked for the screenshot of the properties of my computer and I sent it right away

They told me it will help them know

They just don't want to pay and decided to make money from not paying winnings AND DEPOSITS

Having read the threads, I am skeptical of not paying winnings and deposits.

Maybe casinomeister can help when he returns. Somehow, I didn't realize he was helping with Boss. Hope he can help.

And again this seems to be the same issue as the other thread from an Israeli player. Both are obviously hit by this passage in T&C:

# Unfair gaming practices
No-risk wagers (such as wagering on red and black simultaneously) and transference of bonuses into another player account through opposite wagers on certain games will be considered as an attempt to abuse the promotional bonus, and result in the immediate closure of players account as well as forfeiture of all funds.

This is the only part of the T&Cs where the casino with forfeit deposits as well. In all other cases of "abusive" play, only winnings are forfeited. So this is not about multiple accounts, but something new...

What do you mean they chargebacked? Did they remove money from your credit card without authorization? Or did you use an account such as Neteller? If this is the case I would be on the phone to the credit card company (or whatever method you used) informing them that there is fraudulent charges on your account that you did not authorize. If you made a cashout request and they approved the withdrawal, and then payed you the money then any attempt by them to take that money back would be considered as fraud.
