I am posting just to comment on Platinum Play Casino. I am having problems with another casino right now and but wanted to say how refreshing it is to have another casino (Platinum Play) be so courteous, nice, and prompt when dealing with their gamblers. They have live help and anything I have ever inquired about was resolved within minutes (seems like seconds)
 
I agree that Platinum Play has great customer service. They are a member of the Fortune group. They have even called me at home and offered me great deposit matches if I haven't played for awhile. The only bad thing is that I started playing at PP when they went live and did terribly, I haven't been back.
 
Wooooohooooo!!
Hi everyone, its been a while since I posted but we saw Platinum Play listed here as a NEW casino and we signed up a few days ago and today Kyle cashed out $9,000!!!!!! We are so excited, with Christmas right around the corner BUT the only thing that is scary is that when you cash in they say the only method of cash in that youre allowed to use is by CHECK if you have not been with the casino for more than 3 months. BUT it doesnt state how long or when they will even process it. It says you can pay $35 to have it couriered, but if you have no idea when it will be sent... Anyway thats a little confusing. But we LOVE this casino & will be playing there for a while. One more thing that was weird is that when we asked to flush so that we wouldnt reverse our winnings they told Kyle on the phone that they cannot do that and that he would have to wait 24 hours...so lets hope he can stay away from the computer : ) This is such a big cash out that I am terrified something is going to go wrong. I have heard horror stories about bad casinos so it was quite relieving to see such nice things posted about this one!
hope you all are winning!
Wanda
 
Wanda, How are you doing? It's so nice to hear from you. We miss you. Congratulation on the big win!!! Make sure he buy you a nice gift!

If you signed up through here. Meitster will take care of you. This casino group pay! So don't worry!

I never win big. Maybe my turn next time LOL~
 
WTG Wanda! But you didn't tell us the most important part, what were you playing and what did you hit?? Screenshots??

I don't think you'll need to worry about getting it, Wim monitors this forum and as he is the VP of Ops at Fortune Lounge, I'm sure he'd jump in to help if need be. I thought that he said they did away with that check requirement if you are a newbie. Maybe you can look into it if you are reading this Wim. I do know there is a restriction of $2000 on neteller withdrawls at any one time though.
 
Hi & thanks for all the congrats & a big hug to you ...bewitch!...I hope youre all doing well!
Anyway, since I got a new computer I didnt have the download to do any snap shots. We ended up cashing out $8000. We kept $1000 to play with. We lost $800 strait on that new 9 liner with the trucks..cant remember the name. But today we spent $50 and went back to the truck game and won $1200 doing $9 spins. We went to Treasure Nile and lost it ALL...$1200 strait! After losing down to our last $10 we won $500 back, but never won even more than $60 the whole time except once we won $160. We played out the $500 again on treasure nile & lost it all. Put $150 MORE in and lost that too. So $1400 strait on ONE game...makes you remember all the times you lost $2-$400 strait and went back thinking you could get it (or even some of it back) But when its possible to lose $1400 strait on a $4.50 game, should reitterate the lesson that it NEVER has to hit. It would have been ok if we had won enough to have fun, but it was almost a constant loss, and at $4.50 per spin, it took a while to lose that much and I swear I fell asleep once or twice. So I am wondering how anyone else did on Treasure Nile today. The $9000 we won the other day was from Winning Wizards, 4 wizards on a $25 spin we won $5000 and on Treasure Nile we won $3000 and then just a few other smaller wins I couldnt even tell ya where. Anyway we went on such a horrible losing streak a few months ago that we just gave up and took a break. We lost over $20,000 in two months and only had two cash outs of $1000 all at Golden Tiger which I will never play at again. So this $8000 cash out was such a nice change. What I have noticed is that Microgaming is not wasting time on little wins, it seems to be either HUGE or nothing, which takes a little bit of the fun out of hoping to get some play time out of $100 or even $200 because with fewer small wins, theres not much play time. On Thunderstruck at Golden Tiger we were playing $2.25 & $4.50 spins and in one shot we went 18 spins without a single win and in 30 spins we won a total of $6.20. Out of 100 spins we won $47.00. It was the same on every game we we went to. So we said to hell with them! After the 20K loss we went ALL out at Platinum and only did big bets after the $3000 win at Treasure Nile. It was so scary, but when we saw those wizards and the 5K in the box, I almost fell out of my chair! Anyway the last time I think I lost $1000 on Treasure nile, I told the board to go and play it because I was maxed out on my CC and couldnt go back lol and i cant remember which of you it was that went and won $3000 I believe...so if your gonna play you might want to hit treasure nile, it should have a full belly lol I am only charging $1200 to the winner for this information lol just kidding, I would at least like to know it was one of my buddies here who won a good one there : )
I still would like to know how the casinos pay and get paid, I wrote a post about it but I think it laid dead in the water.
Its nice to be back back in the loop!
Wanda
 
Wanda, you have such excite and live personality. I love to read your post. I have to hold on my breath and read it all. LOL~

I love the new Thunderstruck video slot and hooked on it for a while. But now I settle down and go back my Black Jack now. Slot is my weakness (always lost). I can lost over 10 k at my stock investment and won't cry. But 1k at casino will kill me. Can't believe how much you lost before. Glad you win this time. ENJOY~ AND WIN MORE....
 
Hey EVERYONE!!!!! GUESS WHAT?????
We cashed out on FRIDAY and today Wednesday, we got our check! I could not believe that! It was the best feeling, but will be even better when it clears : )
I do have to say the only strange thing was that Fed ex rang my doorbell and left the envelope on the porch. $7400 ($600 credit back to my bank hasnt shown up yet, but that usually takes a few more days for the bank to post) Anyway, I just thought that you all should know that if you do choose the "check" method of payment for cash in, it does not have to be signed for so be careful. The only reason I bring that up is because even though we live in a very nice neighborhood, months ago our new box of checks was stollen out of our own mail box. Which, if you all remember I was freaking out because money in our bank account was missing (around $3000) and I thought it was a casino and never thought to look at the checks on the statement until later. Ironically, remember I was mad at Proc-cyber for not answering my emails to explain charges...well the check I got today WAS from Proc-cyber, so although they pissed me off by not reponding months ago, I do want yall to know that it was not them who took my money. I was so quick to blame a casino, (not one in specific because I played at so many and never could figure it all out) but I have to fess up that to this day, I have not been robbed by ANY casino. I would even write a letter to proc cyber, but I never blamed them for stealing from me, I simply requested copies of money I spent and they just never wrote me back. So I wanted to clear all that up and Bryan owes me a spanking for having to take the time to research it all for me : (
Whats funny is that the person that stole my checks, paid off some of her OWN credit card bills...IDIOT!!! After signing the form to press charges they dont tell you anything more but I would have loved to look this person in the face and tell her how STUPID she is. Can you imagine someone just walking down the street looking in mailboxes?? Jeeze! Well thats my blab for the day. Now lets just hope this check clears! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO

'How do you save screenshots?'

To copy whatever is currently visible on your screen simply press the PrintScreen/SysRq key on your keyboard (normally found on the top row of keys just to the right of the F12 key).

Then paste into an open 'word' doc etc.

Finally label and save it as you would.

Hope that helps.

Best of luck.

The truck game is 5 Reel Drive - another love 'em/hate 'em type game :) Like Treasure Nile and Thunderstruck, all 5-reel, 9-line slots.

Wanda - one thing for sure, you have a lot of excitement in your life! :)

Bewitch - really funny how you should say that about 10K at stocks... sometimes I won't buy something because I think it's too expensive (my problem is that I think of the US$ buying power as it was 15 years ago, not what it is today) - then go and blow 3-4x at a casino sometimes.

On the other hand, sometimes I buy something expensive and think it's a great deal - then moan and groan about dropping $20 in an online casino... LMAO...
 
Hi all

Unfortunately I have only been monitoring the Casino Complaints" section and only woke up to this thread today. It is really refreshing to see some positive posts for a change.

Congratulations to wanda on her great win!

jpm is quite right that we abolished the silly 3 month rule and I am quite surprised that this was applied. I will certainly look into it.

Thank you also for the feedback georgiapeachy25. Live Chat was a major challenge for us as it also taxes resources and I am extremely happy to see that we are achieving what we set out to do.

I will certainly monitor this section in future.

Regards

Wim, Nice to hear from you. Love your new video slot.

Wanda, good going! Enjoy it and make sure get something nice for Xmas.

Spear, you are right about human natural! I am very cheap at daily spending. (Never buy things not on sale. Use coupon and being cheap on 1 or 2 dollars...) But I lost my investment over 50k in one month and I am fine. (Now it's back half. ^-^) I will spend $100 on the charity who need help, no problem. However, I will get mad on $80 or $100 at casino who I think not fair. (You already know that...LOL)

Sorry about off subject. Glad to hear Wanda got paid so fast! I start to miss Thunderstruck now... LOL~
 
bewitch:: However, I will get mad

NO, you're joking??!! ha hahaha!!

This is for Wim : I want you to set up an account for me at Platinum Play, and fund it for me, oh lets say $50 bux!!?? LMAO

Sorry people, had to and have to do this:

Hope that ear problem is all cleared up by now Wim?}
 
Hi Jinnia

Great to hear from you again.

Thank you for enquiring about the ear.... did I hear you say something about a free $50 ???

Just joking. Please contact me and we can have a look at your new PP account.

Wim
 
Hi Wim,

Just kidding? I wasn't! *smile*

I downloaded PP and made a small deposit. Played better there than I have at any other, but still no win .. smile

Stay Well

Whilst you're monitoring this thread can you help me with a Platinum Play glitch?

Playing Blackjack, I was dealt Ace/King against the dealers Three and pressing the deal button to start a new game was dealt a further card (8) and told I had bust!

I took a screenshot, left the casino to save it, returned to the Blackjack game and found that the Ace had turned into a Nine!

I took a second screenshot and saved that too. I have not played since and am having problems getting this resolved through e-mails and live help.

I don't want to be accused of messing with the software or anything - I'm too thick for that anyway. I just want my money back and I'll cash-out because I cannot feel confident playing your software again.

Thanks if you can help.
 
Bewitch - "Never buy things not on sale." LMAO... but by now you should know why you and I both think this way :) I constantly tell my wife, "Mai rot ra-kaa, mai seu" - which is the Thai translation of what you just said!

vgyhnji - whoa... LOL... quickest thing may be to go to Playcheck and download the history of your last few hands. Display issues do sometimes occur but they ought to be quite rare.

On the screenshot, there should also be a numeric value next to the hand - did it say 19 or 21?
 
spearmaster

you're playing 'viper' blackjack to $10 level stakes, which when you have played as many hands as you and I, is quick play.

Initially I would only have registered a Blackjack, I have no mental recollection of the numeric value shown to the first two cards.

In the first screenshot with the accompanying 8 the value shows as 'soft 19' albeit that the BUST banner is also shown!! - how can you be bust on 19? - you work that one out. In the second shot it shows as 27.

Simple solution is PP credit me $25 for the Blackjack first shown. Apart from a speedy button error (I am sure we have all done those before once or twice) I am not in the habit of hitting a 19!

At the very least call it quits and credit the $10 loss back. Point is PP have done zilch and its 4 days on.

Would have put the shots up here but they wont upload. (Let me know if there is a way to do so and I will).
 
LOL...

I have to admit that's really weird. And I don't think PP will have a problem over $10 or $25.

However, as I said before sometimes graphic glitches happen. Go to Playcheck and download the result of the hand - then send the screenshots to support.

And yes, I don't think anyone is in the habit of hitting 19 except purely by mistake :)

I believe you can upload the screenshots by hitting the "Upload Attachment" button in the reply section - but if that doesn't work, send the screenshots to Casinomeister and I am sure he will put them up.
 
Done the playcheck & support bit already.

The screenshots are apparently to large to upload.

I'll e-mail them to Casinomeister as suggested.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Sorry to all for 'hi-jacking' this thread.

Best of luck.
 
Fortunelounge.

I have already sent them to [email protected] twice but if you let me have your e-mail I will send them to you also.

Spearmaster.

And I don't think PP will have a problem over $10 or $25.

I am sure they wont, neither do I. It really is not the point. The point would be if the stake was $500 or the game was $5, 5 coin VP and the Ace was part of a Royal Flush!

Players would be screaming blue murder and casinos would be fending everyone off. Pay out I doubt very much. So all in all its not safe to play if you dont trust the software any more than if you think its rigged - and I am in NO way suggesting that this is the case. Its just a glitch but look at the possible consequences.

PP please sort it out!
 
Hi vqyhnji:

Wim, the VP of operations of the Fortune Lounge group, is extremely honest and probably works harder at his job than any other person of any site on the net. He does his best to satisfy all of FL's customers. Trust me, even if your bet was $500 and you were telling the truth, you would get paid. However, people tend to try and screw with the FL group, get caught, and then disappear. I am sure this is not the case with you, since your bets were small. Have faith, Wim will take care of you. He is a very honest man and really involves himself with any problems that arise. Lately, I am skeptical of every casino and portal owner. However, Wim is the exception to the rule.

Oh, she's Baaack!! smile

PREACH ON SISTER!!!


I agree with you 100% about Wim!!
 
Hellooooo Liiiinda .. smile

right back atcha lady: ****hugs,kisses and all those goodies*****

Anyways, you are correct about Wim, if all is up and up, he'll get it resolved.
 
vgyhnji: Thank you for the screenshots.

We have done an extensive investigation and looked at your playcheck records for these two hands.

According to playcheck (which records every hand you play) there is no record of the first game on your screenshot. From the screenshot you sent me you were dealt: Ace of Spades, King of Diamonds and 8 of Hearts (in that order) and the Dealer was dealt a 3 of Hearts. Your balance on the screenshot reflects $167. It also shows "soft 19" which cannot be correct as it would have reflected "19" only. You already had "Blackjack" with your first two cards, so calling for the third card was totally uneccesary.

It is unfortunately completely impossible to verify your screenshot of the first game, as playcheck shows the results of the game as: Player - 7 of Diamonds, 4 of Diamonds and 8 of Hearts. Dealer - Queen of Diamonds and King of Diamonds.

The second screenshot you sent reflects exactly as per playcheck: Player - 9 of Hearts, King of Diamonds and 8 of Hearts. Dealer: 3 of Hearts. The player balance is the same: $167.

As this is the very first time we have had an issue of this nature we are completely baffled and I do not have any explanation to offer as we regard playcheck as being 100% accurate.

Whats all that about? I certainly did NOT send you anything looking like that!!
 
PS: We have done an extensive investigation and looked at your playcheck records for these two hands.

In case you are in any doubt here, the two screenshots are of the same hand. I made no further game play following the first screenshot - still haven't - and no longer intend to.
 
vgyhnji:

"Whats all that about? I certainly did NOT send you anything looking like that!!"

I misunderstood you, thinking that you were talking about two different hands and I now understand that you claim that the cards changed on the same hand. My apologies for creating confusion.

We investigated this issue intensively and with great concern. There is absolutely no record on playcheck of the first screenshot results. You claim in your mail to me that you first went through the process of saving the screenshot and thereafter the Ace changed into a "9". In this timeframe it certainly would have registered on playcheck. Technically, we could not detect a problem and there is no record of this incident either.

As per my e-mail, I have already credited your account with a courtesy credit.

This is a copy of the last e-mail I have sent to Wim on this subject and the last post I intend to make about it. I need to get on with making money!

Hi Wim

Look. Thanks for your input here.

I dont see that there is a resolution to this affair. Ill accept that its in the past and apart from screenshots presumably there is no other way to verify what and how this came about.

My $10 stake is neither here nor there and when I asked about cashing out I meant my remaining $167 balance.

The whole point is as posted on the forum:

The point would be if the stake was $500 or the game was $5, 5 coin VP and the Ace was part of a Royal Flush!

Players would be screaming blue murder and casinos would be fending everyone off. Pay out I doubt very much. So all in all its not safe to play if you dont trust the software any more than if you think its rigged - and I am in NO way suggesting that this is the case. Its just a glitch but look at the possible consequences.

I sincerely hope MG check and recheck their software and this does not happen again at least not to me.

Meanwhile thank you for the offer of the $20 courtesy comp, but as I have stated elsewhere, right now I no longer wish to play NOT your casino as such, but MG software.

Thanks again.
 
Hi vgyhnji,

I was wondering if you're keeping in contact (or had for a while) with PP or 'whoever' about the problem you had with the glitches in the software at Platinum Play and possibly the Playcheck software also??

Curious to know..
 
Somthing similar happened to me once at another casino. The screen was showing A,K with value 13, not BJ, and the dealer had a 10 but its value was showing as 9. I took a screenshot but it got deleted when I installed a new operating system.
I won the hand so I did not bother taking it up with the casino. I have no idea where the problem lies, in the casino software or maybe in DirectX.
 
Hi Jinnia

Since I have had several private e-mails asking me for a further update on this subject I will post here the guts of a recent reply.

'I made a post on the 19th Nov which I said would be my last on the subject because I felt I had hi-jacked the thread and was banging my head against a brick wall with Fortunelounge anyway.

I readily accept that the problem only cost me a few $s and was not by any means the direct fault of PP nor MG. No fuss intended, I simply wanted to highlight the fact that this happened and that if it had been for higher stakes the implications would be much greater and more difficult to settle.

The forum is rife with accusations of rigged software and dodgy casinos, highlighting them to others, and a good thing to, but when many find a casino that seems to play fair and pay-up no-one really wants to rock the boat with a problem. I wanted MG in particular to address the problem fully but they really only want to hide behind playcheck and gloss over it, after all it was only worth a few of my $s.

According to Wim its a complete mystery as the screenshots do not reflect the record of playcheck and that is that. From my point of view, and since I am not a computer programmer, I would not personally have the faintest idea whether they could do more or not.

Everyone would have expected PP to just pay up, at least the lost stake, no matter the size, but no, and as in my last post, I intimated in my e-mail to Wim that the offer of a $20 comp! was just plain useless, I no longer wanted to play PP. I was happy to just cash-in my $167 balance which meant I even lost out on the hand in question! Such is life.

Following my cash-out, I had a phone call from a chap at PP CS, strangely informing me that they could not refund to my card (never had that problem before) but had sent a cheque. Then spent ten minutes trying to convince me not to cash the cheque but that I should insist on a credit back to my card! - don't ask! The chap from CS then spent even longer trying to convince me not to cash-in at all, but to play some more as they don't like losing clients! Fair enough but after I filled him in with the glitch and he then spoke to someone else in his office he decided not to pursue my business any longer! - Shame because he had a golden opportunity to prove just how helpful his casino could be and that I might once more 'play with confidence', but no, he just let me go without even trying to recheck the situation with MG nor even refund my lousy $10!!!!

So there you are - you are up to speed. By all means if you like PP then play there. Hopefully this won't happen again (I guess this sort of thing is v.v unlikely) - but you just never know.'

I have had no further contact from Wim or PP since the guy from CS phoned. That is apart from the usual promo e-mails - which reminds me I must unsubscribe.

Incidentally I have not heard anything from the Meister on the subject of displaying the screenshots.(I know he has been away) and I had hoped he would hep me put up the screenshots for all to see.

Finally, whilst on the subject of glitches in MG software, perhaps those 'lurkers' out there would like to join in - before it all gets swept under the carpet!!!!

Best of luck to all.
 
This is definately the weirdest thing I've ever heard of happening with such an established software package as MG's. I can only assume it was an issue with something on your computer (operating system, browser, etc) somehow. I've seen wacky behavior in a blackjack game I was playing online once, but it was a much less mature software package.

Wim is pretty limited in what he can do about this though. Playcheck is the official record of your play and the hands/spins/rolls received. If its not showing up in there, then his hands are pretty much tied. I think about the only thing he can do is report it to MG as a bug. Doubtful though that you'd hear anything back from them about it. Who knows, they may even chalk it up to sunspots (always a good scapegoat for computer problems in my opionion). I'm not sure what more you want him to do at this point, its not like they can look at the play from a different angle, the record says what it says and that's all they can go by.

If Wim credited $20 to your account, what is the $10 you are talking about them not refunding?
 
jpm

I don't want him to do anything.

This post was to update jinnia & others who have asked questions to me personally.

The $10 was my stake, the $20 credit from Wim was a comp and therefore had WR attached. I thanked Wim for the offer but I did not want to have to turn over $20 five times just to try to keep it!
 
Thank you vgyhnji,

I was wondering and watching for something more from you on your situation, for I had a similar glitch (incident) while playing at Platinum Play, but, it was while playing the slots.. Couch Potato to be more precise. And was on Wednesday or Thursday of Nov., I truly believe it was Thursday, Nov 19.

First and second reel landed on the 7's (red and yellow mixed) and third reel landed on the couch potato symbol, I thought wow and looked over at balance to see how much it went up, but there was no change. So looked back at the slot game and at that instance the couch potato symbol dropped down one space. I was only playing one quarter at a time, so not a big win, but it did happen just like that.

So if it was checked within this playcheck and not show up, (email sent in about this happening) then there are some questions as to if it's just glitches in the gaming software, or possibly playcheck also not data keeping correctly.. or....?? I have no idea.

Thank you for the update, have been very curious about it.
 
Jinnia

Did you report your problem with the slots to Wim (PP, Fortunelounge)?, if so did you get any feedback? I understand that the outcome of a slot game is determined the instant you press play, the spinning wheels are for your entertainment, therefore would you say that the delayed movement was part of the normal game (I hardly ever play slots myself so I have nothing to compare to).

Finally I dont suppose its the sort of event that anyone is likely to catch a screenshot of either.

Best of luck.
 
vgyhnji,

I honestly didn't want to post about it, so yes, I sent an email to Wim just to inform him that the software was messing up at PP. And no, no response back.

I play nothing but slots, have in numerous online casinos since last week of July 2002. Different softwares, and Yes, they drag, BUT, picture on the reels are blurry during a dragging time and they are always blurry til completely stopped.
Once they stop completely with the picture on the reels completely clear, that's when the turn has ended. And after the spin has completed then one or another reel drops down after 3 or 4 seconds, there's something wrong.

As for screen shots, I'm sorry, I know nothing about that, If I get a hit, I then pull up a program I have and take a picture, sometimes a movie clip of it. But since the hit changed after 3 or 4 seconds, nothing was showing on screen to take a snap shot of.

What happened in Couch Potato at PP is the very first time that has happened with me.
 
Hi vgyhni,

Still no response at all. Not even a 'thank you', we'll check into it.

Very disappointed in that also!

Just to let all know, I am no longer gaming/gambling online as of today.

But I will still post of any and all experiences I have had with an online casino, good or bad.
 
Not surprising that you haven,t heard from the fortune lounge group. They can come off as very arrogant and stuborn. I have read a boat-load of complaints on this board about them. Then there,s the guy..(Wim) I think his name is...who posts here to try and schmooze things over when someone posts against them. Truth is in the people,s voice... I,d be wary of getting paid if I hit a large sum from these guys. Tim
