Resolved: Roxy Palace - Not Good Enough!!!

Some members should remember that genuine errors do happen, and accredited casinos should be given a bit of time and the opportunity to solve a problem before being accused of "deliberate stalling" and "incompetence". It's pretty sad how previously level-headed people go right for the casino's jugular these days before even knowing what's really going on (IMO)

I sure hope you read my entire post before commenting mate ... I tried to work with them through the entire time... 3 weeks and counting... It is not possible to know what was wrong at their end as I was providing them with everything ... As I said it wasn't the time taken for me but the fact that every 2nd email was contradicting the last and that no matter how much info I provided there was no solution...as for your last line no one is going for their jugular without knowing what's going on hence I have copied and pasted every single correspondence.

Deliberate stalling probably not .... incompetence absolutely yes.
 
Dont get upset Sunny. Nifty wasnt having a dig at you. Whether there is a software glitch or not the casino was told time and again of the problem and was given weeks to attend to the matter let alone sort it out. Its obvious they werent paying attention to the customer for reasons I would not want to dwell on though I am of course entitled to my opinion especially as I had an unpleasant similar experience there though the scale was much smaller in terms of $$$.
 
Wow, after skimming through this thread and the incompetence of the CS it has answered a long overdue question for me......

Just where the hell do Neteller get their staff from?

Cant answer you as I havent employed their services for ages?

Is that supposed to be a compliment ..... or?

Nope, it definitely is not a compliment, I hope to God that you or anyone never has a deposit/withdrawal related problem during a holiday break at Neteller, CS staff employed at a merchant bank that cannot resolve cash related problems (not really sure what other problems arise at an establishment whose only work related tasks involve cash).

I think you handled it well actually. Most people wouldn't have been as patient.

I did write that in the first version of my post which was accidentally wiped so I'm sorry about that. I wasn't referring to your comments when I talked about the stalling etc anyway :)

Thanks mate for clarifying that up. I apologize for the hot headed reply as well... Please understand I have been tested thoroughly by these guys for the last few weeks and I am a bit jumpy about this issue lol

I normally am a very calm person and I applaud you being a bigger person about it.

Cheers!
 
It's still incompetence. There was a glitch in the software, and the problem was that the casino developed "tunnel vision" in dealing with the problem, taking it for granted that the player was at fault for providing the wrong details, and being in denial about the need to look for a "bigger picture". Through the entire process, their efforts were concentrated on getting the player to provide them with the correct details, which they did again and again. When the wire failed again, they jumped to the conclusion that despite their protestations, the player had not provided the correct details.

The break ONLY came when finally an email was more specific about the problem, which was NOT a "wrong SWIFT code" as they had been saying, but a missing "bank code" due to a glitch in the software which became aparrent when the email named the specific piece of information that was "left blank". Even this was done in an accusing manner towards the player, as though it had been their fault all along for ignoring a required field, when in fact it was the software.

It took a screenshot of the filled fields to make the CS aware of the real cause of the problem.

The screenshot of the same page from 32Red shows no missing field, so this is not a Microgaming problem, but an implementation issue specific to Roxy Palace. This might explain why there have not been hordes of similar complaints from Aussie players at other MGS casinos.

Maybe this is the first time an Aussie player has requested this specific method of payment, so the first time this error has occured.

It also shows that the CS did NOT act on the emails and enter the details as promised to the player, else they would have spotted this glitch first, and would have seen that a field they needed was missing in the software, and not available if entered manually further down the process.

This tunnel vision has cost them a 3 week long public thread exposing how poorly they handled this particular problem.


Next time something like this happens, and a player swears the details are correct, and has confirmed this with their bank, start looking for a wider issue, rather than concentrating on the player confirming over and over again that the details are correct. Also, be more specific when saying what is wrong, rather than saying something generic that only serves to deflect attention away from the real problem.

Part of the problem may be that it was not escalated far enough up the chain to be dealt with effectively, and those dealing with it did not have the expertise necessary for figuring out what was going wrong.

This is a case of the player knowing more about the software than the casino operator - I've been in this position too;)

Absolutely agree. The mind boggling part is even if it is a system where they simply click a button like any web form to submit my withdrawal wouldn't the system automatically recognize which field hasn't been filled?...it does for the simplest of web forms/ applications.

Enactment:

Casino host: clicks button to process withdrawal with the info put in by the player.

Processing company : There should be 6 fields filled in but only 5 were. The field missing is "x".

Casino Host to player : please fill in "X".

Player: But there is no "X" field in the form.

Casino Host: Our form is f&$) ed .

Could have been as simple... In 5 steps.

and the most "important" already arrived?
 
Attention forum mods please !

This is my bad ... I clicked on the "casino rep" button beside the acredited casinos list beside Roxy Palace and didn't realize it took me to the "Redflush" casino reps page... So I pmed him instead of Roxy rep. Lol.. Please check and fix.

Thanks

Ps : a new pm sent to the Roxy Rep. My apologies.

Generalising here, I am constanty amazed at how many online casinos fail to understand the value of some players. As an affiliate, I have tested a lot of casinos (easily into 3 figures) and I always go in demonstrating that I am a serious player to see how they handle me. Lots of them just ignore me and like you SAunny, I see issues with withdrawals that drag on and on and just shouldn't happen. My latest issue is laughable too.

How many good players leave a casino after their first withdrawal experience I wonder? I have ... and I have felt thoroughly undervalued ...loads of times. I wonder how many casinos could be so much more profitable if they just took KYC a step beyond the regulatory requirements. Fortune seem to have the best handle on understanding player value...maybe they should offer training courses LOL.

Regards Roxy I have a slightly unrelated question if I may? I stopped playing there when they upped the reverse time to 48hrs but I remember they used to have quite low max bets on slots ($11.25 on Tstruck for example). I noticed earlier you said that the $50 bonus was about "2 clicks" for you. Just wondered if they had upped teh low max bets on slots if you get a mo?

Thanks Simmo. Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, I myself spend thousands each week so I am very particular on the service I receive. I had teething problems with Royal Vegas but they have come through for me, so, in return I spend even more money with them now and they are great. With the Bellerock casinos they call me up each week, have dedicated managers that service me regularly, I feel happy to spend money with them. Same goes for Nordicbet, 3Dice and 32red ( I am still trying out 32red now, but looks promising). My attitude is, I have a budget of 5k+ each week, so I will spend based on how they service me and the promotions offered that week. So I don't think they realized what they are doing when they offered me $50 after all the hassle. My kind of testing is, I make a decent withdrawal from the casino the first week I join, could be considerably less than what I have cycled or put in... Doesn't matter as it is only a test to see if I feel comfortable and then I can assign a chunk of my spend. But I think RP is sliding in this matter. Also did you see my cheeky comment about thanking the rep here for the apology as he never did for all the hassle... Oh well. The way I see it is I got money to spend and I have an ego... Impress me or there are others that would get my business :)

I am not sure about Thunderstruck... But quite sure I spent about 7k ( recycled) on MM Isis $25/click and Pure Platinum $20/click... So I am guessing the minimum bet thing is not applicable anymore as I never played there before.

Simmo, I missed the '2 clicks' bit. Are you sure it wasnt '2 chicks'?
 
We get them cheap in various places in Hong Kong.Come over here and I will show you but only if you like oriental ladies.:p
