I’ll just add a few words here: the original idea was to get Bryan a nice gift — something for his telescope perhaps for his astro-photography, or some metal detecting gizmo he might want — but then his ranch was broken into and a bunch of stuff stolen so things got complicated. We decided to just raise the money and then let him decide what he wanted/needed most.

90p GoFundMe 'tip'?

Scamming bastards, that's my dalliance with them o-v-e-r. At this rate I'll have to set up my own fundraiser for their flippin' siphoning

This made me lol.

Was the tip voluntary? They take $0.30c from every donation, I assumed that was done automatically. Don't tell me they are demanding tips too!

Personally, I think this whole collecting money business is proper scammy and probably deserves to be in the rogue pit.

It's just a service charge ultimately, yet worded as 'tip' so as to make the user feel like they've done something good for the world

Not sure if it's percentage-based or a flat fee, but I'll make an exception for Bryan's cause

Sure you can opt of paying the tip! Numpty.

Always be on the lookout for hidden T&Cs, and sneaky yet visible default sliders

Send him a box of Bavarian beer so he can pile it on top of the boxes of Bavarian beer he failed to give away as optional prizes in most of his promos.
(jus joking! i like the beer and did appreciate his promos, even won one an'all, but took the moolah!)

 

[goatwack]

It's picking up the pace now, phew!

At this rate, we ought to hit that £1000 by mid-2055!!!

I have the utmost respect for Bryan and I so was very happy to contribute to his desert drifter fund.
However the tone of the op is almost akin to bullying. Any chance of an edit?

Sorry, I don’t think I follow. Could you quote the bullying part so it’s clear we are looking at the same thing?
Thank you.

PS. I did tweak the thread title, just in case.

Forgive me if I read it wrong but stating that this thread is being followed suggests that those who do not contribute are being noted. If you think that my comment is unfounded then please feel free to delete that line that I made and I apologise. I understand that a simple message can be taken the wrong way very easily

 

[maxd]

Thanks for the reply, are we talking about this bit?

"You can also leave your messages in this thread, as @The Dude is the new handle for the retired Casinomeister and I am positive he will be checking this thread."​

Please confirm.

- Max

PS. seems that was the case and was certainly not intended to be ominous, text changed for clarity.

 

[conker]

Completely unintentional. Just assumed Bryan would be checking in to say thanks.

Will adjust it now.

 

[conker]

Just a few quick points on this thread, as I appreciate there might be some confusion about it.

The £1000 target on the Gofundme page is completely arbitrary, I had to put something in there as they wouldn't let me leave it blank. I didn't really know what was reasonable, so plucked a figure out of the air.

We were asked to set up this thread by a handful of members, this is completely separate from the staff, mods, new owners etc. We have already organised our retirement things for Bryan.

Just so there is no ambiguity, no one is checking who is contributing. Make a contribution if it is something you would like to do, otherwise I am sure you have already said your thanks and goodbyes.

Any further questions then drop me a PM

 

[L&L-Jan]

Done

 

[goatwack]

Now that's showbusiness - great stuff Jan

 

[conker]

goal reached, thanks all who donated!

 

[goatwack]

That £1K donation definitely helped tip the scales towards that £1K target

[conker]

Thank you to everyone that kindly added some money!

Checked this forum after ages to see this. Guy selling forum for 3 million plus whatever assets accumulated from it over time but lets donate him some more lmao, no shame to ask. I remember lady jelena enabling in a string absolute rip off mostly new and shady crypto casinos as good to gos, reason i actually moved on. As for the accredited list(casumo on it?, videoslots 90rtp on it), find me a complaint against *snip* my casino and ill eat it(yes i shill for the only no bs casino, not even on askg there is any complaint). You win $100 or a million its sent in 5 minutes, no questions asked, no verification, no fees, always professional. Never won anything major on the overly licensed accredited drivel and when I did send this and that document, ask the forum, pab, withdrawal can be reversed, is canceled etc. And VPN friendly, you win you get paid on the spot, simple as that. As a slots player instead of being deceived on this kind of greedy affiliate places where casinos pay to be promoted(blah blah transparency, i never buyed this bs), i see zero reason to ever play elsewhere and i recommend the reader of this no paragraphs post the same.

Why did you come back here at all?

It's not about money, but a gesture from the membership to recognise the 26 years he put into the industry, this site and player advocacy - you know, a site where people like you arrive for help when they get issues with their wonderful under-the-counter gambling sites. A site where many of us met up, made friends and discovered new opportunities.

A pint of bitter later?

**I was going to give a warning here for flaming, trolling. But I see you already had 5 in the past and not learned, so time you left altogether. Happy trails at your new favourite (now unshilled) casino.
