Some Thoughts About Online Gaming

[Nate]

To be fair this is not the way things usually happen. All may be well and good at the time when monies are deposited. A lot can happen between then and when the player goes to withdraws, including trouble with the processors.

I do not dispute that fact Max - In fact I actually agree. I also agree that Casinos do not receive instant deposits. However, there are too many 'processor problems' to be quite honest. We can easily take MoneyBookers as a hypothetical scenario - Where funds are available instantly.

To top it all off, the win that is being held pending, then delayed (due to processor issues), which you can only redeem $3000 of per week is from a hit being Capped on the 'Max Win Rule' to which the Cashier does not care to respond to queries and the Rep is AWOL for a few days (as usual). Is this what it has come to ??? This is absolutely NOT Acceptable

The quote from my earlier post adequately sums up the state of Online Gaming and Payment Problems.

I have questions:

1. Why do operators allow an infinite amount of deposits but are allowed cap your weekly limits to $3000?

2. Why are they allowed to HOLD your withdrawal for 48hours to 10 days?

3. Why are they allowed to impose unfair Max Line Wins?

4. Why do they choose to ignore payment queries?

5. Why do they choose to continue to accept Business when the KNOW there may be processing issues?

6. Why do they fail to address members and notify people on the forum in a timely manner ? - This only happens once a thread is started and we complain.

I think you can see where I am getting. This takes place because the Casino players and Advocates at large have NOT put their foot down. Payment processing issues aside, the above is very indicative of the standards we have come to accept. In the end, its not about the player, its how much the Casino can score with imposing these rules and also how to limit damage to their already tarnished reputations.

I do not bundle EVERY operation in the same category. however; its clear as daylight who the Greedy Ones are.

I just saw a commercial that on April 15th there will be a gas strike do not fill up on this day, they estimate that on this day if even half of the ppl strike they will have caused the oil companies $30 billion in losses.

Why can't we do the same here. One at a time, pick a day when we all commit to NOT PLAY FOR A DAY, at ABC Casino, depending on the amount of negative threads.

No one is exempt accredited or non-accredited. I truly think that even for a day they will hear us LOUD and CLEAR, and correct their behavior and start to really appreciate who pays them. I mean everyone including affiliates, it recently dawned on me, that every deposit I have made for the last 12 yrs, that the affiliate has been paid for it as well, but when you ask the affiliate to fight for you when a problem arises, they are no where to be found? Recently, I have tried several deps and the enjoyment factor of my dep lasting only 15 minutes basically in one slot, is not what it use to be yrs ago. When you do get the bonus round this week it paid 15 spins 0.94 cents. Now we have casinos changing RTP's to 91%, double pears we have read this week and these casinos are still accredited?

Let's do something and stop complaining. I feel like Tom Cruise in that movie who's with me?

Not so, people will fill up the day before, or wait till the day after. If people still use their cars as normal, all that happens is that some of that $30 billion comes in a day early, and some a day late.

It is only effective if people go on a driving strike, and don't use that $30 billion worth of gas. This is where the $30 billion shortfall becomes real. A filling strike on a particular day just sends a message. The same would be true of a deposit strike at a casino, unless players spend the money on something else, and the casino never gets to see it, not even the following day.

A general reduction in depositing (or driving) has more effect, and needs no organisation for a specific day, but although it has a greater impact on the companies, there is little publicity at the time, and only at the end of the financial year do the companies see the effects.

Uninstalling a casino that has forgotten you exist for a month or two usually refreshes their memory, far more so than a day of "strike action".

I would estimate that less than 1 percent of all the online gamblers in the world read this site. How are you going to get everyone to stop playing for a day or whatever?

Here is a "thought"

Since UIGEA, my deposit habits haven't changed, yet my treatment from casinos in regard to payout times, perks, bonuses and the like have dramatically changed for the worse. Yet, some members on this forum think that is just fine and as a player we shouldn't have rights or be able to complain or even take legal action when it is necessary.

You tell me why I my Perks and vip treatment should be changed when I am depositing the same amount and playing with the same consistancy that I have for over 5 years. Anyone?

IMO the casinos took the opportunity to cut our perks and vip treatment when UIGEA passed eventhough our play and deposits remained the same.

I am totally on the players side. Unless the casinos become truthful when it comes to information posted on their websites, you cannot believe anything posted on those websites. And, all of them have inaccurate information on their websites, especially when it comes to deposit methods, withdrawal methods and payout times.

OK on the gas thing /boycott the only way it will work is if we singled out a brand and punished them by no purchases

and that will take some investigating but it can be done to the brand alone not the producers
on casino's i think the rogue pit is doing it as well as we could

 

[footdr]

boycotting buying gas is stupid as it will only hurt the owners and employees of the gas stations and they have absolutely no control over what "they" are charged for the gas they sell.

So you would be hurting your local economy and possibly put people out of jobs.

We need our own supply of oil and the Government should control the amount of oil that can be sold overseas. Apparently it must be more lucrative for companies to ship the oil out of the U.S. or they wouldn't.

I also believe we need to reform the Commodities Market and how it works as betting on whether prices will increase or decrease has substantial effect on the price of those commodities.
