Whats worse than bad luck?

[geordiecolin]

I've suggested an alternative prize for them to give to you-

A framed, signed black & white photo of Warren Barton ca. 1994

Oh those flowing locks while he was belting down the left wing

That always did present a problem for us, given he played right-back

Still, we had the mighty Peacock to clear up (sometimes)

I was using poetic license

I recall when Peacock and Barton went up to the box for corners and free kicks thinking "Shit we have no chance if the ball goes to them".

But Phillip Albert was a beast

Worse in my case was last night where I had won around € 1200 at VS, and was NOT able to withdraw my funds from Neteller (have sent several emails, but no reply yet)..... then blew it all on VS and Guts...

I know, I know - and maybe this is not the appropriate thread, but had to share this. Stupid me for being so unpatient - I intended to withdraw €700, the max allowable in 24 hrs for my status.

This error came up at 2 banks in my area where I made several attempts, and there's nothing wrong with my card, everything was fine a few weeks ago. A glitch or something?

You're definitely the luckiest unlucky player there is that's for sure. You're the "almost" lucky guy

Didn't you hit massive on Bonanza at a shitty Nektan Casino too, with absolutely shameful (and should be illegal) terms, stating 4x bonus amount cashout only?

I don't know what you have done to spite the slot gods, but you should plead for mercy.

I'd shed a tear if I had any left (given my own luck)

What is worse than bad luck is being very lucky but having to decline the win due to being unable to make it.
Today I got the call to inform me that I won the Videoslots exclusive MOTO GP experience promo competition which ended last week. Unfortunately I can not make it so I had to throw the prize back in to be drawn again

 Flights from any Europe destination to the UK
 Accommodation for 2 nights at a 5* Hotel
 2 VIP passes to the Silverstone Moto GP on the 27th of August.
 Paddock passes, with tour of Sam Lowes’s garage, meet the team and a photo opportunity with Sam.
 Lunch with Team Aprilia
 Grandstand passes to watch the racing

When I read that bolded part all those memories of taking a bonus and getting to 97% only to fail came flooding back, as that was how I was interpreting it as I read it

I have Social Anxiety Disorder so I probably wouldn't have liked to have won the prize you did (Besides I'm not even a fan of Moto GP), however I would have been looking at a cash consolation under the equivalent amount.

At the end of the day you WON the prize and they should honour that in some way. To be given nothing at all is really poor form from them as good a casino that they are.

I'd be really pissed at this, so I salute you for being pretty ok and understanding about it

I was rewarded with platitudes via IM

ive all but given up slots. ill chuck odd 10 or 5 now. but im bored to death and bored of losing.

infact if they banned bonanza id never have a incentive to never deposit ever.

chasing that win again will never happen, not unless its a nektan bonus

Hi geordiecolin,

This campaign was done together with Core Gaming that are sponsoring a MotorGP driver that is racing with Team Aprilia. Core Gaming decided to give a few selected casinos a campaign package where we could take a lucky winner with a friend to have an exclusive MotoGP experience. Everything was pre-booked and planned and that is the reason we stated in our terms of the campaign that it was not possible to move or exchange the prize in to cash.

The original winner had to turn down the prize and that is when we contacted you and you turned down the prize to. We didn't want the prize to go to vain so we contacted a new player that said yes.

Br,

Daniel

yeah these battle of the slots can be absolute torture. I cant count how many times a week I get 300x in book of dead or 400x on birds on a wire in battles but never hit even 20x when playing cash. Its week after week ...day after day. Hit huge in battles, lose all your money with cash.

But whats worse than bad luck. Is having good luck for 6 months then having nightmare luck for 3 months where every single day you do not cash out or cant even hit 200x. But those 6 months you are cashing out a few times a week. Hitting 600x...1200x. Then 3 months of an rtp of about 60%. No matter what casino, what game its just rinse and repeat.

I understood and excepted it was none negotiable the first time I was told it Dan. But that does not change the fact that I'm a bit pissed off about it.
This saga fits this thread perfectly and that is why I posted
