Hi Guys,
It saddens me that a bunch of theives like this lot have been allowed back into casinomeisters accredited list. There is a thread currently a few below this one discussing how some MG casinos are turning a bit "rogueish" ( https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/threads/is-some-microgaming-casinos-becoming.22944/ ). In that thread "aka23" makes a very good post which I will now quote from..
The thing is, ignoring what happened in the past, that I too have heard such reports this week from sources. The pattern of thefts they got rougued for is still continuing. These are NOT groups of fraudalent accounts or even players who are misreading the terms and conditions. These are legitimate players who have abided by fortune lounges own t&c. Their only crime? Being smart/lucky enough to win. In these cases the practices of a while ago are still commonplace with fortune lounge. Winnings confiscated. If a player has been allowed to sign up for an account and his bets accepted, with him or her abiding by all the t&c then they should be paid their winnings regardless. Of course the casino is free to ban anyone they want but if they have gone so far as allowing all of this then by confiscating the winnings of a legitimate, rule abiding player they are doing nothing but stealing. This practice is still commonplace at fortune lounge casinos.
When casinomeister originally rouged them a while back I was most impressed, they clearly deserved it but they had long been a fixture of his site, it took some balls to drop them like he did. However this about turn saddens me greatly. I have always followed the casinomeisters recommendations for casinos. Whenever I have fancied trying a new casino/software platform out my first port of call has always been his accredited list to choose one that takes my fancy. His judgement always appeared 100% sound to me, and with his contacts at each casino any minor complaint that would arise (I had a couple of these myself, nothing major tho and with this websites help they were sorted asap) from players he referred were always recitified openly and to the satisfaction of both parties. Because of this I always tried to use the affiliate links from casinomeister as a show of support for the site and also because I felt my money was going to a truly worthy affiliate. Unfortunately this state of place is now not so clear. With Fortune Lounge back on the list it is a nasty state of affairs as imo this is openly inviting players to play at a casino which has no qualms about trying to steal legitimate intelligent players money. A leopard does not change its spots in Fortune Lounges case as has been proven this week and being "accredited" is basically inviting players who are none the wiser to sign up to a bunch of crooks. It seems a sad lapse in judgement to me from an otherwise excellent site. I dont really automatically trust other "accredited" casinos so quickly now, it was a true seal of approval for me before. I can only guess that the reason for putting them back up was purely financial....

P.S. This is not intended as a casinomeister bash guys, this site has helped me a lot in the past, its really a fortune lounge bash, but the accredited thing me just smacks me as plain wrong.

Fortune Lounge -- Locked thousands of accounts and confiscated winnings from many players. It was temporarily put on rogue list here. As of this week, a player reported that they are still up to their old tricks with confiscated winnings.
