I attempted to deposit last week, with my new credit card. The previous one was blocked due to weird transactions which where perfectly legit from my side, but the bank thought different. In short: ive tried to make a payment in the UK from another country, which on paper it looked like my credit card details leaked. No it was not a payment for gambling, something completely else.
So after i not played for over a week, i got my card, and i spend 350 euro or so. When i attempted to deposit, i kept getting an error like transaction not possible. It would appear in red that i could reattempt again with half of the deposit value i entered in the first place. I'm like why there's way more then enough cash on my account(s) i dont need to lower value. So i entered 350 again > entered the 2 step auth code, which was on the 2nd time also correct, but failed again.
I logged into my bank, double checked everything, yep all green. A moment later i realised i typed in my old CCV number since i was so used to that one. Can happen. Next transaction, success! But it still had me thinkering on how fucking sleazy, dirty and disgusting casino's put triggers for players to if a deposit fails, go for half of the initial money. Or stall the withdrawl with a good-old 24 hours minimum, before locking it and actually sending it away.
Really guys; i played for 6 straight hours or so, i went from 350 + 50% deposit bonus all the way up to 1400, which was within the metric i was facing for the last months, it never gave me that big boom i was hoping for, i even played 5 games at the same time using a varied 1 to 2 euro bet a spin, all wins did'nt came random, they pretty much came all at the same moment. You dont get one game exploding and the other one being silent, play at the same provider with several offerings of their games, and you learn quickly that your random spin is always within the big box.
"Any spin is random" is just bullshit. I'm more and more done with gambling, which is a healthy sign towards slowly moving on to something else.
