VegasPartnerLounge PlayerAbusers!!

[AgainstAllOdds]

When you play the 15 % neteller deposit on any of www.vegaspartnerlonunge.com's casinos you will be excluded though fullfilling alll requirements in their T&C's, certainly if you are a danish player. Untill now they have sent this email to me and two of my friends:

Dear *****

Thanks for supporting us here at Vegas Partner Lounge!

We are no longer able to give you further deposit bonuses . This special deposit bonus is restricted to loyal members of the casino that have proven to play in excess of the minimum wagering requirements and play a variety of games.

We have also noticed that you currently have a withdrawal request for the amount of $******. We confirm that this withdrawal will not be affected by these playing conditions and will be processed as normal.

Our withdrawal Manager will be in touch with you shortly.

We simply must spend our bonus funds rewarding loyal players. Should your playing habits change for a significant period of time in the future it would be our privilege to offer you a special bonus again at that time.


I have been playing at over 100 online casinos for the last years and have never been stamped as a bonus abuser, 'cause I am certainly not. I always play well over wagerrequirements, so I would like to contact the casino to ask what they're doing, but my friend already did and recieved this rude answer, so I won't bother:

Dear *****

In response to your statement regarding the fairness of us no longer giving bonuses to yourself and other players who we consider bonus abusers we have the following response:

Our bonus terms and conditions specifically state that even if a player has fulfilled the specific terms and conditions relating to bonuses it is at the casino's sole discretion to determine whether a player is abusing our bonuses.
The normal procedure by most casino's when classifying a player as a bonus abuser is to immediately remove all bonuses and winnings before cashing those players in and some casino's even confiscate the entire cash-in and lock the players account.
On the other hand when we find that a player is adhering to most of our terms and conditions but is still abusing our bonuses we do not confiscate winnings and or bonuses nor do we lock their accounts. In the interests of maintaining fair play we email the player informing them that they will not be receiving more bonuses and we honour all cash-in's that were made prior to us informing the player as long as they did adhere to the specific wagering requirements.
No winnings nor bonuses are confiscated and accounts are not locked as is done at other casino's. Such players are even allowed to continue playing at our casino's.
We take this soft approach because we know that we are the best in the business and we'd like to always give the players the benefit of the doubt.
We'd rather just exclude those players who abuse our bonuses than change our terms and conditions and penalize genuine punters just because a few players have found ways of abusing our lenient bonus terms and conditions.

You are welcome to contact Casinomeister and Casinoportalen as we have good relations with these and other reputable portals and they always allow us to give our response. Should you post us we will respond and it will enable all honest players to see how reputable, lenient and fair we are even to abusers such as yourself and how we won't penalize good players by increasing wagering requirements or reducing bonuses just because of a few bad apples.

If there is anything else you need please don't hesitate contacting us.

Regards,

Brian
Cash-In Manager
Vegas Partner Lounge



So now they're posted here and at www.casinoportalen.dk I hope they will give us a fair explanation to why making an offer which if played will result in exclusion... Very bad casino behaviour if you ask me!

The vegaspartnerlounge group consists of the following casinos:

Cinema Casino
777 Dragon
CasinoUS
SunVegas
Arthurian
CrazyVegas
Crazy Vegas Poker

First of all I don't see anything wrong with the first email they sent to you. They have the right to remove bonuses privledges from any player account at any time they want, and they sent you a polite email letting you know. They even made it clear in the email that you will receive your pending withdrawal so what is the problem? Second of all you stated that the email received by your friend was rude, well after reading it I could not find anything rude about. In fact I found they were quite pleasant in explaining their reasoning behind doing what they did and also stated that if there were any further questions regarding the topic to feel free to contact them at any time. I just don't see anything wrong here. Why don't you just deposit your own money and play with that? It will save you a lot of headache and hassles by not having to worry about wagering requirements, possible locked accounts etc. Just a suggestion.

 

[VPL]

Hi there AgainstAllOdds,

Please note that as per our mail below, you and your friend are still welcome to play at any of our casinos at any time, and to join our loyalty programs.

Also note that it is clearly stated on all our websites, as below on Crazy Vegas :

Promotion Abuse

Crazy Vegas Casino management reserves the right to determine whether play has been deemed to be promotion abuse even though there may have been compliance with the above terms and conditions. In addition non compliance with the above terms and conditions shall be deemed to be
promotion abuse. As such in both of these cases, Crazy Vegas Casino
Management has the right at its sole discretion to take the following action against such abusers :


All winnings on all accounts opened will be null and void and all cash-ins will be cancelled where a player has been deemed abusive.

Abusing player accounts may be terminated with immediate effect.

Players found to be abusing promotions may be barred from receiving further promotional offers at the casino.

In the event that the casino deems a player to have misused a casino account for the exploitation of promotional offers, without ever
demonstrating any degree of risk with personal funds or serious intention to play, the redemption of all such promotional offers, including but not limited to sign-up bonuses, will be suspended until such times as the player demonstrates a purchase history at the casino.

Your account has not been locked, and that you are still welcome to play. The problem is that both you and your friend have demonstrated exactly the same style of purchasing / withdrawing, taking advantage of the ongoing bonus.

Please also remember that your account will be monitored, and if notice that your style of play can be deemed as non-abusive, we may re-instate your bonuses.


Regards
Vegas Partner Lounge

 

[thesmacker]

VPL have had this policy forever. Basically it should state this:
"If you lose at least 40% of your deposit or play slots you are welcome to get the 15% monthly bonus, otherwise we will label you a bonus abuser."

It is there casino so they can do as they please as long as they pay you all the money you have won (which I'm sure they will do) but there are far better monthly bonus programs out there where they dont treat you like a scammer. I suggest you simply go play eleswhere where you are treated with more respect.
Cheers

 

[Clayman]

When you play the 15 % neteller deposit on any of www.vegaspartnerlonunge.com's casinos you will be excluded though fullfilling alll requirements in their T&C's,

Don't worry too much about it - that's pretty much my status at alot of casinos. I do think that they are going about in the right way - that is, you still have an account and are made whole on all your qualified play.

I was just curious if you, or anyone locked out by VPL, or any other casino for that matter, could give us an idea of your overall play there, like how many bonuses you took advantage of, the total dollar amount of all bonuses, total hands, deposits and wagering you may have done, how much you may have won, the different games you may have played and their proportions to total play, over how long a period, how much and often you may have exceed WR's, etc - whatever you feel comfortable disclosing.

 

[caruso]

There's no harm in refusing to offer bonuses to given players at their discretion - it's their operation.

On the other hand, the email posted is quite disgusting and I would not have expected this offensive nonsense from this group:

The normal procedure by most casino's when classifying a player as a bonus abuser is to immediately remove all bonuses and winnings before cashing those players in and some casino's even confiscate the entire cash-in and lock the players account.

Normal procedure?? At which casinos is this "normal procedure" applied? Warren Cloud operations? Are VPL saying they're "at least better than Warren Cloud"? Wow, that's a hell of an achievement.

On the other hand when we find that a player is adhering to most of our terms and conditions but is still abusing our bonuses we do not confiscate winnings and or bonuses nor do we lock their accounts. In the interests of maintaining fair play we email the player informing them that they will not be receiving more bonuses...

MOST of the T & C? So some have been broken? Which ones? Total BS.

No winnings nor bonuses are confiscated and accounts are not locked as is done at other casino's. Such players are even allowed to continue playing at our casino's.

WHICH OTHER CASINOS?? Give us some names here, please. You're making this up, unless we're still talking Cloud / Friedmann / Jurgens etc etc. Is that really the best claim to quality you have? "We're better than shit". LOL. "...even allowed to continue playing at our casinos". That's really big of you, to insult a player like this then magnanimously allow him to continue patronizing your operation.

We take this soft approach because we know that we are the best in the business and we'd like to always give the players the benefit of the doubt.

"we know that we are the best in the business" - my God, how arrogant is this statement?? According to who? Ecogra? LMFAO. Sorry VPL, you are currently one of the WORST in the business in my estimation.

We'd rather just exclude those players who abuse our bonuses than change our terms and conditions and penalize genuine punters just because a few players have found ways of abusing our lenient bonus terms and conditions.

What is the nature of the "abuse", how are these players not "genuine" and WTF is "lenient" about your bonus policy? When last I looked, the terms were really pretty stringent.

You are welcome to contact Casinomeister and Casinoportalen as we have good relations with these and other reputable portals and they always allow us to give our response.

You betcha. Maybe those relationships need re-thinking on the part of the portals.

Should you post us we will respond and it will enable all honest players to see how reputable, lenient and fair we are even to abusers such as yourself and how we won't penalize good players by increasing wagering requirements or reducing bonuses just because of a few bad apples.

Are you accusing the player of dishonesty? what is the nature of the deception and why did you pay him ANYTHING if he's been dishonest? Why is he a "bad apple"? And notice the thinly-veiled threat in the "we will respond" remark.

What an arrogant, rude, offensive Email this is to send to a player. This group is clearly headed down the pan and I'd advocate a cautious approach for anyone considering patronizing them.

Does VPL management really stand behind this statement?

 

[AgainstAllOdds]

Thank you for the overwhelming response, both negative and positive. The problem for me is mainly these three issues:
1. I have done nothing, as far as I can see that justifies me as an abuser (I will post in this thread what I have been playing and how much I have wagered in excess and on which games so that everybody can see that I have more than fulfilled the VPL's terms.
2. This is really the most rude email I ever saw sent from a Cash-In manager(Brian), they are directly calling my friend an abuser and a bad apple without any reason. If they have a reason I would like to know exactly what it is, 'cause I can't see a problem. I have been playing over 100 online casino and nobody EVER called me an abuser before, simply because I am not. I have often lost own money and played for my own money, but when I play a promotional offer I always assume that I should stick to the terms and conditions, but that is obviously not enough when playin on VPL casinos and that bothers me.
3. I see as a threat when stating that :"some casino's even confiscate the entire cash-in and lock the players account." I should be happy that they didn't confiscate 5000$ of mine?(I am of course) But this would be completly insane if a casino should do this. Then the casino would of course be shut down in a matter of hours...
When playing VPL there is no way to know what games to play and how much to wager, because the T&C's are USELESS!! This tendency is simply NOT acceptable in my eyes, because then you're in serious trouble if you deposit money during a promotion, which you might not even know is running.
That the three of us have recieved exactly the same mail also shows that this is a common thing that they send to everybody playing this promotion, or
only to the people who wins!!? Unacceptable, I would say...

I think CON locks your account after you are banned for bonus abuse, while complying with all terms. They don't confiscate your winnings though.

 

[VPL]

Dear AgainstAllOdds,

Please understand:

1) We at Vegas Partner Lounge Group, refuse to penalize our many loyal players, whether they be winners or losers, for the actions of a few that we deem to be abusive of our highly competitive bonus offers and comparatively low wagering requirements.

2) We will continue to offer our initial and ongoing bonuses, which are some of the best in the industry, to our loyal players. We also endeavor to ensure that our Terms and Conditions for wagering are reasonable and attainable by our players.

3) The few players, who we identify as being bonus abusers are sent an email alerting them to their abusive style of play. All bonuses and withdrawals prior this letter of warning are fully honored. All accounts are thoroughly reviewed before such a decision is made. Should the players style of play change after the email has been sent, the casino does review and address the situation accordingly.

Please also note that your full withdrawal funds have been processed directly to you.

Regards

Vegas Partner Lounge

 

[La$$eB]

I agree 100% with A.A.O. I played your the bonus offer as well and my account was locked after only having played at your casino one single time! How can you state me as a bonus abuser when I have only played at your casino once!?

I purchased 2000$ recieved 300$ and wagered a bit more than the wager requirement. The bonus offer is very risky since you have to wager as much as 23.000 and you cannot play Black Jack. I could easily have ended up loosing like 500$ of my own money. However I was saved by a Royal Straight Flush so I cashed out 2500$

It seems quite obvious to me:
1: If you play and loose it is ok, and you can continue recieving bonuses
2: If you win it is not ok and you will not be able to recieve bonuses in the future:

In your terms and conditions you state:
However if a Danish player purchases $100 and gets a 15% ongoing bonus he would only have to wager 10 x ($100+$15) = $1150 like everyone else.
This is not a large amount to wager considering that the average player will wager 40 X his original purchases during any one session.

40 times!?!? How can you state something like that. People who wager their own deposit at least 40 times have a big problem and they need treatment in a place for addicted players:

In other words you say that the average player is addicted an has a big problem with playing casinos...thats nonsense! I have played for more than 3 years and I keep on winning; simply because I mostly play for bonuses even though I play for my own money as well sometimes, if I like and trust the casino...

Well, I think it would only be fair to give us an excuse for calling us bad apples and bonus abusers. At least you could have said it in a more polite and less rude way....

Some time ago I was excluded from Casino On Net. It was a really polite and professional message I recieved and they didnt offend me in any way. Vegas Partner Lounge Could learn alot from that:

Dear Member,

According to the User Agreement you have with us, in the event that we believe that if a user is abusing or attempting to abuse a bonus or other promotion, or is likely to benefit through abuse or lack of good faith from a gaming policy adopted by us, then we may in our sole discretion, deny any bonus or promotion, or rescind any policy in respect of that user, either temporarily or permanently.

This Email is to inform you that we have made a decision to deny you from obtaining any promotional bonuses from us in the future.

This decision is prompted by your account activity (mostly based on depositing repeatedly during promotional events in order to cash out casino bonuses with minimal risks), which is highly inconsistent with our philosophy of rewarding players who take risks and enjoy gambling.
Sincerely,

 

[GrandMaster]

I think CON locks your account after you are banned for bonus abuse, while complying with all terms. They don't confiscate your winnings though.

I got promotion barred there last year, but my account is not locked, I just cannot get any bonuses, and of course they paid my winnings and bonuses without any hassle. There was none of this nonsense about confiscating anything. I admit I enjoyed the promotions, but I always played a lot more than the minimum WR, and I don't consider playing BJ at $10-$20/hand as a low risk activity. I was just very lucky, I won ~$2500 playing ~$35000, maybe this is what they did not like.

Then I wrote back and said that's OK with me and if they re-opened my account, I'd be happy to play without bonuses.

They wrote back and said

"My name is Ani from the Security Department at Cassava Enterprises Ltd.,

Then I wrote and asked if Golden Reef was one of the accounts I couldn't open and they wrote back and said

"I am Darren Malin at the Security Department at Cassava

In re-reading this back e-mail I was surprised to see the clause in bold above seemingly stating that it's their policy to not cash-out more than my deposit back. It would seem to say they confiscate winnings, though that was not the case in my case. The $100 I got back was money I had just won in a blind raffle the day before they chose to close my account, so I suppose they could have chosen to confiscate that but they didn't.

I wonder if ECogra has any policy on locking accounts as opposed to just disallowing a player to participate in bonuses. My account remains inaccessible. Guess I was an extra-bad boy.

I was shut-off after $4200+ in profit on $3200+ of bonuses (guessing almost $1000 of it blind luck in raffles) playing 3300+ hands and wagering about $42000 (average bet about $12) over a 22 month period. 98.76% payback.

I have, however, since then, taken some small pleasure in the many, many happy faces of friends and acquaintances, after strongly recommending CON to them as a fair and reliable place to play. Which I believe it to be. Come to think of it, just this afternoon I again recommended them to a guy who played on a blackjack team in Atlantic City one summer in the 70's.

I do believe I have cost them alot more dead than alive.

 

[kniepm]

Odd One:

So you have been labeled a bonus abuser, so what? It sounds like you have taken advantage of theVPL bonuses a number of times and your winnings have never been withheld. They have now offended you. The key to your post is "I have played at over 100 casinos." So don't go back to the offensive ones, go play the other 100+. Go find a new casino and get a nice, fat sign up bonus.

Don't take it personally. I'm sure you've been called worse in your lifetime than "bonus abuser."

 

[cipher]

On the other hand, the email posted is quite disgusting and I would not have expected this offensive nonsense from this group:

Does VPL management really stand behind this statement?

Now that's what I call a thorough line by line response Caruso.

The only thing that I could possibly add is that it never ceases to amaze me at the money these casino operators are obviously spending on this "BS" legaleese in precluding players from play. It should suffice to say that you are showing your inexperience in the industry VPL again.

Time and time again these typs of operations are found tripping over dollar bills only to pick up pennies.

In any event it is great to be out of that hospital and off that morphine. Hope all is well. Have a good one.

 

[rowmare]

To quote a poster whom I haven't seen in some time, "Would you like some cheese with that whine?"

The casino sent a very eloquent and non-confrontational letter informing a player that, although he is welcome to play at the casino, they would not be given any more free money to wager with. As a business, a casino - whether on land or online - has the right to decide who they give money to.

As for the email that was sent to the friend, I can't judge that, as it is out of context; we did not see the email(s) sent to the casino which provoked this response.

As already stated earlier by clear-headed posters, they paid the winnings, didn't close the account and invited the player to continue patronising the casino, sans bonuses, and there are worse things to be called than "bonus abuser".

Online casinos give away boat loads of cash to players, and in return they hope to acquire loyal players - but it's a business, and a business doesn't stay in the black by giving away something for nothing. They have to make judgements about whether to continue to give individuals bonus money or not. Sometimes they judge a player to be a bonus abuser when they aren't, but, hey, no one got hurt here. No one got ripped off or banned. No one was cheated.

This post is not directed to the player who filed this thread, but to the incessant whiners who whorishly throw themselves at any chance to trash an online casino when it isn't justified.

Give me a break!

Now please pass the Midol.

 

[jpm]

That was a great post rowmare! :notworthy

 

[caruso]

It was a crap post - and I just figured out why, duuuh. "Rowmare" is an affiliate, and she carries a big fat Vegas Partner Lounge banner ad at the TOP of the Microgaming listings on her site - which looks like it took five minutes to stick together. Yes, I had to click through to check out if VPL were paying her bills as I suspected they were.

"The casino sent a very eloquent and non-confrontational letter informing a player..."

You obviously didn't even READ the letter in question, but it doesn't matter. LOL, it'll be a cold day in hell before the bought-and-paid-for opinions of this kind of affiliate carry any weight on quality forums.

Go spam P4K, "rowmare". Smart people don't buy that affiliate bullshit.

 

[jetset]

For God's sake Caruso rein in your arrogance and discourtesy - why is it necessary for you to constantly bludgeon other members of this board with rudeness and aggression?

By all means hold a contrary and even negative opinion on all and everything, but why not express yourself in a social manner - I'm sure you have the ability to do so.

Rowmare has made good contributions on this board and does not deserve this kind of attack.

 

[caruso]

WTG as usual, Jet. Attack the man, not the message.

Not much else to do in the circumstances - this, nor any other recent one.

I'll confine myself to the facts.

why is it necessary for you to constantly bludgeon other members of this board with rudeness and aggression?

Justify this statement. Total BS.

Like to get me out the picture, wouldn't you? Then you could go on peddling that Ecogra bull practically unchallenged. LOL, ain't gong to happen any time soon.

 

[caliban]

In my opinion, the post Rowmare sent to caruso was highly offensive.
I think caruso critisized VPL quite justly.

Cheers,

[thesmacker]

"In my opinion, the post Rowmare sent to caruso was highly offensive.

Agreed, although I'm sure Caruso puts me in the category of scummy affiliate, he often poses valid points and on this one he's bang on. VPL tends to treat any player that donesn't lose a nice chunk of their deposit or that plays slots while playing with the 15% monthly bonus rather harshly, namely calling them a bonus abuser, which in my estimation is disrespectful to the player. IMHO, if a casino does not wish players to partake in their bonuses then they shouldnt offer them. By counting pennies, VPL is probably missing out on some big dollars by offending certain clientelle. Perhaps they should rethink their business strategy.
Cheers

Well, I'd find Caruso's comments about me offensive, but I don't.



Sorry if you found it offensive, Caruso. I didn't specifically name anyone....odd that everyone assumed it was you, eh?

 

[The Dude]

Chill out everyone

And I mean chill. If you feel the need to get abrasive or insulting, take it outside because it will not be tolerated here.

I'm sorry some of you feel that you are entitled to bonuses at every casino -- but you are not. The casino has everyright to remove bonuses at their discretion. I have no problem with this if it is done fairly.

The beginning of this thread introduces a situation where further bonuses are not allowed. It seems fair, and was done in a courteous and professional way, so what's the problem? AgainstAllOdds, if you were the casino operator, what would you have done? How would you have handled this situation?

I also think that implying that this casino group is corrupt is way out of line. Uneccessary slagging is uncalled for. The operators of this group of casinos are some of the most responsive and fair operators out there. To make these insinuations is a load of crap - and to further do so you better be prepared to give specific incidences and circumstances. Preferably in a new thread.

 

[AgainstAllOdds]

"I'm sorry some of you feel that you are entitled to bonuses at every casino -- but you are not. The casino has everyright to remove bonuses at their discretion. I have no problem with this if it is done fairly."

That is not the problem!! I don't care about them giving us the bonus or not!!! What I do care about is the policy of the casinos and I don't understand VPL's policy, at all!! They are excluding us from their promotions and I know that every casino can do that without any reason whatsoever, but I have never experienced that before. Casinos usually have a reason for excluding players from recieving promotions?? The email their sending us all about being abusive is a standard email that does not explain anything, at all. That bothers me. So of course what I did was to send them an email, knowing that I would probably recieve the same rude nonsense as my friend recieved(being a bad apple and everything), but they haven't even answered my email! The question is how arrogant, intolerant and rude are the online casinos allowed to behave, before the players take any action?? Not how many bonuses I/we recieve...

And I don't quite understand the last part of your post:

"I also think that implying that this casino group is corrupt is way out of line."

Where is it that I am implying that anybody is corrupt?

"The operators of this group of casinos are some of the most responsive and fair operators out there."

I could not agree less, a lot of players have experienced that they are unfair and non-responisive and this is also my perception.

"To make these insinuations is a load of crap - and to further do so you better be prepared to give specific incidences and circumstances"

I have tried to make this incident as clear as possible, what more can I do?

 

[The Dude]

Hi Against all odds,

Many of the comments I made were concerning the thread in general and not directed at you specifically. The bad apple comment:

You are welcome to contact Casinomeister and Casinoportalen as we have good relations with these and other reputable portals and they always allow us to give our response. Should you post us we will respond and it will enable all honest players to see how reputable, lenient and fair we are even to abusers such as yourself and how we won't penalize good players by increasing wagering requirements or reducing bonuses just because of a few bad apples.

was not directed at you or your friend either...at least this is how I read it. Admittingly there are a LOT of bad apples out there - if there weren't there wouldn't be the increased wagering requirements, banned Danes, and other limitations for the Danish group. You aren't the bad apples (me thinks), but there are some players out there who are - or at least considered to be by many casino operators.

Maybe we need a politically correct term for "abuser". Wasn't it "avantage player"? Anyway, the only comment I directly made to you was concerning the third paragraph "what would you have done if you were the operator?"

I still don't see the problem. The casino has decided to disqualify you for bonuses. So what? If it were me (me being the player), I wouldn't give a flying rat's ass since I rarely use bonuses. I feel they cramp my style. I don't like being dictated to which games I have to play, and how much I have to wager or play through. Perhaps you should look at this as a blessing in disguise.
