In all the threads and all the posts of we the players, that have not been happy with the experience of the majority of online gaming have expressed, I feel our issue keeps getting lost in the emotion of it all.
We are labeled, dictated to, as to not be posting or playing if we are not satisfied and so on. If we ask for a casino rep to come and answer questions, our concerns are met with hostility from a few that think we are "pot stirrers". We are told we have run off a rep by our posts. I don't understand this. A casino rep is in a tough business to be sure, but it is their job to help us come to an understanding, are their skins not as thick as ours, because we seem to take a lot more heat for the passion of our concerns than anyone else on this forum.
The other thing that distorts our position is when a poster comes along, makes wild and outrageous accusations against a casino, having ripped her off and many of us were duped into thinking we were helping the cause, when in reality we were being used by a poster to try to get her money back, this is just my feelings. We all now full well that if we lose, we will not be reimbursed and don't expect to be, unless our loses are truly caused by a casino malfunction, but in this last episode, I don't believe that it was.
What other way would a person with a true problem for gambling think of to try and coerce a casino into giving back the players deposits or monitarily settle with her, but to bring it to a public forum. Then keep posting the same thing over and over in long stretched out posts, reminding the rep how many are viewing the thread and so on. This person was looking for backup and an audience. Which again is my opinion. As the poster stated, she had been watching this forum very closely and I'm sure seeing how passionate we are, figured we could be used to beat down a casino for her and get her what she wanted. I also feel she more than likely had seen the previous thread regarding a malfunction of the playthrough not calculating correctly, so who's to say a person would not take that experience and call it their own as well.
There is, I'm certain, not a single one of us that have our rants that would only start asking questions, $10,000.00 later!!! We would be checking everything and asking everything or moving on, long before that.
So here we are today, feeling used and a bit violated, because we thought we were helping someone that wanted what we want. But it was not the case, far from it. What posters like that don't realize is we are not wanting refunds or daily wins or anything of the sort.
What we want is "Transparency", to be able to know that a game we may choose may not be a decent rtp level at that time. When most players are seeking out a casino, they are looking at the RTP's that are posted next to each featured casino and 9 times out of 10 the player will go with the casino that is advertising 97.5% before they will go to one that is at 95.0%. Why, because we are simply looking for a fair place to play, because this is a pastime we do enjoy.
However, a poster that drags us off into a thread that after awhile starts looking like we have been taken, duped and used for ones personal gain, then it leaves our true cause with a serious black eye. I think we all have to be careful as to who we are backing up when it comes to ranting, as not all rant starters have the same motives as the majority of us do.
We only want transparency, to know we are getting a fair game. We do not want to set fire to any casino or rep or anything else negative that we have been compared to.
I, as many most likely others do, truly appreciated the rep coming in to that thread and addressing the problem as professionaly as possible, without stepping to the level of the poster.
So personaly I would like to know if the Transparency issues from last year have gotten anywhere and if we can expect something in the near future in this aspect?
