POC - new manager... !? let see...

I agree with that, that a lot of casinos ask their "loyal" customers to post. I can honestly say that I have NEVER asked a player to post about a casino where I was at. As far as the Virtual group, their are a large number of extremely loyal customers who would post in a nano second, but I still believe they discourage it because No one would ever believe it, and usually the loyal customer takes so much crap from posters here, it puts a bad taste in their mouth.
 
Just to let youy guys know sometimes some casinos ask players to this in compensation of a quick payout or bonus .

phynqster...I agree with that, that a lot of casinos ask their "loyal" customers to post.

And that is where the term "shill" comes in... as most of these "loyal customers" are not able to post like an actual forum member... and it is always quite obvious that their sole purpose here is to make a scum casino "look good".

And the fact that a casino manager (or CSR) would actually "ask" a person to do that... is pretty classless in my opinion.

The reputation of said casino is further tarnished when a "shill" posts.

I'm sure a lot of people remember the ill conceived "we'll pay you to post" campaign that Brandy Casino embarrassed themselves with... :eek:
 
from lauriejim : the true story on poc

hey guys i am a real person a real player not computer savvey like most of you so i dont post as much. a quick story. i havebeen playing at poc and cirrus and club player for over 2 years. i admit i have sent more money than won. i have won alot of money and i have been paid no one has asked me from any casino to post i did this on my own. 8 months ago my husband had major surgery and being self employed no insurance i couldnt afford to play after my husband was back home getting better. the staff at poc called me everyday to know the status of jims health not to ask for deposit money but concerned for me and my family. they kept me playing for 3 months solid with free chips and i won and i was paid. this to me shows humanity at its best. i did not lie when i said ive been paid massive amounts of money as lying is not my nature. i felt like you all should know why i feel so strongly about poc club player and cool cat. i also used to play at sands of the caribbean when it was open to u.s players and alot of other casinos this is just my personal choice and everyones entitled to that.

I am having a real hard time believeing this... if my win was 6 grand and I got a call from dean saying I would be paid and was not, ... but you win "massive amounts" and play with free chips and get paid?? I am a firm believer that manners are a persons first introduction... you have called not only me a thief, liar, rude and a cheater" so I think your introduction speaks for itself,, . You have hit two threads here... POC and Coolcat... and at both all I hear is hype hype coolcat and POC and dis dis meister members........ who is lying?
I know andre and dean both and unless there was an ulterior motive... they would not pay anyone abusing chips.. as a matter of fact they are the first to offer chi[s and then claim abuse!

This list could go on... and on...and on... but i am done with it..

Yeah right. Like when you call others cheaters and disgusting people without an ounce of proof besides some completely unsubstantiated claims by a casino manager who you admit to taking free chips from on a daily basis?

I believe you really do like the casino and the people there and the freebies they send your way (free chips and cash). Hypocrite.

Just curious Laurie...

WHY would an online casino call you "every day" about the status of your ailing husband?

That sounds a bit "creepy" to me... :eek:

Are these casino employees personal friends of you and your husband?

And WHY would they "give" you free chips for a period of 3 months?

Had you previously lost hundreds of thousands of dollars with them?

If that was the case... I could see a few comps here and there to allow you to play during your time of "personal issues"... but for a steady period of THREE MONTHS?? And you claim you've won and cashed out numerous times?

That is rather hard to fathom, Laurie... :rolleyes:

Especially so from a casino in the Virtual group... :rolleyes:
who are not too well known for their compassion and caring attitude towards their players.

If anything... they are known for their cut throat and blatant abuse of their players... especially "winning players"... ;)


Sorry Laurie... I'm just not buying that lovely story you've graced us with.
 
sorry if i offended anyone

as i had said before those 3 months i was given free chips i indeed earned them i have spent over 68000.00 at poc before that in less than a year and up till today ive wagered 6 million dollars if you dont believe me ask poc about lauriejim acct im a vip there so this is where i have won my money and i did make a few deposits in those 3 months but not what id call my normal once i even sent 20.00 took 15.00 to send it. i enjoy the play i have won arond or should i say cashed out 37000.00 which is not to bad. again to the lady mysticjos i prob spelt that wrong too i did not mean to offend and im very sorry for what your going thru. i just like these people and they have been good to me i just find it hard that they would treat anyone bad as i talk to them on a daily basis. again please accept my appologies to anyone i may have hurt or offended.there are always 2 sides to every story and i do hope you can work it out with dean about your money issue. im not a hypocite i was trying to stand up for those i care about and who have been good to me. i did not abuse the chip system those 3 mo. i was only able to do small deposits every once in awhile. and besides the past money ive sent to virtual group was more than enough that i was able to get what i did. so with all that said i will say my goodbyes and this will most likely be my last post as it has not been a pleasant exp.i do wish all of you well and good winnings., lauriejim
 
You guys can all believe what you want, but Lauriejim's story sounds believable to me. If she has indeed spent that kind of money there, it's absolutely plausible that she would have been treated the way she says she has. Maybe her initial posts were a bit abrasive, but I can understand that too....IF she believed she was "defending" a casino and people that had always treated her well personally, and keeping in mind that she's a relative forum newbie. Not everyone knows exactly the right words to say in a post. Some are better at it than others.

I don't condone her playing at a rogue group, and that's an awful lot of money to give to a group like that....but hey, to each his own I guess. But the stance that you guys are taking is exactly the one I took with Kakata when I found out he'd gone back to Crystal Palace, so that's understandable as well. It makes you angry. My only point in posting was to say that I thought this lady sounded genuine (IMO), and maybe she's been ragged on enough. Besides, we may be able to "save" her yet.....ha ha ha.
 
lauriejim fair enough, you are a "good customer" of the casino and their sympathy, although quite possibly sincere, is an established business practice to keep you loyal to their casino and even increase their profits from you.

I am suprised that a player like yourself would actually know casinomeister existed. Most players here at a minimum play very low house advantage games and many will only play at casinos with an advantage over them. (kasinoking is a prime example :notworthy ) And you obviously dont care about the dubious practices of some casinos and are prepared to take the risk playing big with them, and have no issues with payouts etc.

Anyway if you are genuine I apologise and wish you good luck with your gambling and hope your husbands health is good.

And I too agree with Dealer wins... I know others here will agree I have been known to be cautious but will admit fault if it is mine to own.. (still not sure it is) IF you are geniune I also appologize, but I am still deciphering why you would make this statement (in addition to others)..
dean , cindy are the best so far at treating the players good the loyal players, not the ones that spend 20.00 and take the bonus and dont follow the rules.
people who abuse the system make it harder for the rest of us and cheaters are just bad disgusting people in general
once i even sent 20.00
they kept me playing for 3 months solid with free chips and i won and i was paid.

There were posts by you in two threads only... so for those of you here who are not aware of that, it is not only this coolcat new manager thread, it is also POC new manager thread.
again to the lady mysticjos i prob spelt that wrong too i did not mean to offend and im very sorry for what your going thru. i just like these people and they have been good to me i just find it hard that they would treat anyone bad as i talk to them on a daily basis. again please accept my appologies to anyone i may have hurt or offended.there are always 2 sides to every story and i do hope you can work it out with dean about your money issue.
Appologies if wrong.... I appreciate your appology, regarding my health .. like I said I do not seek any sympathy which is why I never posted on this forum or anywhere else what I was going through... regarding Dean... if you did indeed read the thread you would have noted... promises made by him, when he took over I reminded him of our "conversation" his reply "he could not refund money taken by accounting.. like I said to him I have a screen shot to prove it was a managers withdrawal" so , for something I put behind me I do appologize as this has certainly brought up many hurtful and unwanted memories and abuses.
I go give kudos to Chris, he does come here to see what is going on :thumbsup: but Dean.... who is the manager? I have an email stating you .. if that is the fact why are you not living up to your word.???
I did get a small refund lauriejim.... $1200.00 (I was thankful for that) and I think that also proved that I had not done anything wrong.


:notworthy :D :notworthy
 
What the hell happened to pinababy69?

I'm here fcat, but I also believe in being fair to people. You can't be a bitch just for the sake of being a bitch. There's a time and a place for everything, and I think that Lauriejim has taken enough. Even I backed off on Kakata, once I had made my point and expressed my opinion. Sometimes enough is enough!!
 
Why not???????.:D....................that would be a gr8 signature(by amending can't to can).:thumbsup::thumbsup:

They're going to give Hamilton an NHL team? Christ, I really gotta get back into hockey, lol. I've been waiting a lifetime for the Leafs to do something noteworthy, namely win the Cup. We got ripped in '93 when Gretzky was on the ice for LA, and should have been in the penalty box. :mad:

That was our year, Cinderella season.

Buyer hedges bet on Preds' home
Reactivating rights to Ontario arena offers a backup


By JOHN GLENNON-TENNESSEAN.COM
Staff Writer


The future of the Predators still rests in Nashville's hands, but the prospective owner of the National Hockey League franchise has given himself a contingency plan.

Jim Balsillie and Hamilton, Ontario, have reactivated an agreement that would give the Canadian billionaire exclusive rights to bring an NHL team to Hamilton's Copps Coliseum.




Balsillie's attorney and a Hamilton city councilman downplayed the development.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, while declining to discuss specifics of the Hamilton situation, said the possibility of relocation was a non-issue provided the Predators maintain their arena lease in Nashville.

Balsillie has yet to comment publicly about his plans for the Predators or his agreement with Hamilton.

"No businessman puts all his eggs in one basket,'' said Terry Whitehead, a Hamilton city councilman. "A prudent businessman looks at all his options and markets. This way, if something goes south in one market, he's got alternatives to look at.''

Said Toronto attorney Richard Rodier, a close associate of Balsillie: "It is simply a contingency plan in the unlikely event that the Predators' arena lease terminates prior to its normal course expiration.''

Balsillie signed a letter of intent to purchase the Predators from Craig Leipold for $220 million last week, but the deal won't be finalized until it's approved by the NHL's board of governors. There's no set date for that to take place.

Purcell, Bettman talk

The Predators are under lease to remain in Nashville for at least the 2007-08 season, but if the team activates an attendance clause in its contract by June 19, it could open the doors for a move for 2008-09.

However, if the Predators average 14,000 fans in average paid attendance next season, or if Metro makes up the difference if the average is less than 14,000, the team would stay here.

"My belief is that as long as the lease is in effect, there's no reason for anyone to be focused on the relocation of this club,'' Bettman said. "Obviously, if the lease is not in effect, whoever owns the club will probably want to explore his options, whatever they may be. That's nothing we're focused on right now, because we don't at this point see any reason to focus on something that may not happen.''

Nashville Mayor Bill Purcell spoke with Bettman on Thursday and the commissioner "reaffirmed what he has already said publicly" about Balsillie's plans, Purcell spokeswoman Molly Sudderth said. The mayor has not spoken with Balsillie.

Hamilton has been interested in procuring an NHL team for years. But even if the Predators' lease were to be broken after the upcoming season and Balsillie were to choose to move the team, there would be challenges in putting it in Hamilton.

Copps Coliseum, home to the American Hockey League's Hamilton Bulldogs, would require millions of dollars worth of upgrades to meet NHL standards.

Also, Hamilton lies within the 50-mile territorial range of two NHL teams — the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs — meaning that Hamilton would have to reach some kind of financial settlement that would satisfy both teams.

"We've been in this position many times before,'' Whitehead said. "From the city's perspective, you've got someone representing a businessman looking for an opportunity with the city of Hamilton.

"We'd like to be involved in the fray, but are we overly optimistic? Certainly not.''

Uncertainty remains

Other cities that would probably be discussed if Balsillie were to choose to relocate the Predators are Winnipeg, Manitoba; Quebec City; Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario; Houston and Kansas City.

Bettman hopes the situation never gets that far.

"The lease is completely in control of the people in the city of Nashville,'' Bettman said. "And I'm not talking just about fans, but the business community and all the various factors. If the attendance mark gets met, this whole thing is a non-issue.''

The Predators averaged more than 13,800 in paid attendance last season, not far from the goal of 14,000 that the team is trying to reach this season, but Thursday's developments added to the uncertainty felt by fans in Nashville.

"It seemed that Bettman was told by Balsillie that he had no intent to move," Predators season ticket holder Brian Hogue said. "So to see (Balsillie) reach out to Hamilton through a lawyer certainly leads to speculation that there's something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about.'
