This morning I have e mailed my MP about this situation.I have still not heard from the CEO at William Hill Head Office, dispite sending two fax's to him.The first fax detailed what had happened and how it had been dealt with and the second I have cut and pasted below.Jetset emailed Robert Sadler a few days ago and asked for media comment and so far has had no response and in my opinion is not likely to.Jetset informed me that there will be a infopower story on Casinomeisters news and that it will be published sometime today for any of you that are interested.I think my MP will be very interested in this story due to the fact the the government are not happy about the fact that William Hill have Video Roulette machines in there land based betting shops, with huge payouts offered and are trying to stop it and also the fact that they are trying to legislate online casinos.William Hill by not responding to any of this are making themselves look ridiculous or like they have something to hide.Here is the second fax sent yesterday:
********************************************
Dear Mr. Harding,
It is now 3 days since I sent a fax to you, I was hoping that you would at least of had the courtesy
to acknowledge that.
Are you aware that you have a Code of Conduct page on your web site and that it states the
following :
4. Truth In Advertising
William Hill Casino shall be truthful in all advertising and promotional efforts and shall publish
only accurate information about its operations. Gaming and wagering rules and registration
procedures are made available to the public online.
When I joined the casino and all through my game play you were advertising the following :
How Much ECash Direct Can I Deposit To My William Hill Casino Account
Each Week By Credit Card?
New players can make initial deposits of up to:
1,000 without a PIN
1,500 with their temporary (e-mail delivered) PIN
For first 90 days established players may deposit up to 2,500 per week on receipt of their
permanent 6-digit PIN
After first 90 days established players may deposit up to 3,000 per week on receipt of
their permanent 6-digit PIN
After 1 year established players may deposit up to 3,500 per week on receipt of their
permanent 6-digit PIN
Weekly deposit limits are reset each Friday at 12:00am EST.
I was told afterwards that this was incorrect, making a mockery of your above statement.
If that was not bad enough, on the same page you have this displayed:
7. Controlling Compulsive Gambling
William Hill Casino is committed to detecting and reducing compulsive gambling. Our procedures
include monthly deposit limits and analysis of gambling patterns.
This is clearly an out and out lie, your procedures do not work! If you analyzed gambling patterns
then my account would of been closed after a week or two, or you would of at least contacted me
to make sure that there was not a problem. Your now revised monthly deposit limits would allow
someone to stake 200,000 pounds. There are very few people who would be making deposits of
10,000 a day or 50,000 per week rendering the limits as no limits in most cases.
Your organization is pretending to be concerned about Compulsive Gambling with that kind of
irresponsible limit.
You also have printed on your web site an e mail address for:
casinomanager@williamhillcasino.co.uk
This infact will not work as the DNS is not configured correctly, so any e mail sent bounces back.
Are you happy as the CEO of William Hill with the inaccurate information as detailed above,that
is being displayed? Are you not at least embarrassed?
And what about this quote on your site :
We pride ourselves on providing a guaranteed
response to any of your problems 24 hours a day,
7 days a week.
So why did it take Mr. Sadler 10 days to even acknowledge the initial e mail sent to him?
Lastly, how you can have the nerve to state the following, is unbelievable:
The William Hill Organization is one of the world's
largest and most respected gaming companies.
We have over 1,600 offices and more than 10,000
employees with a reputation for integrity and
professionalism that stretches back over 65 years.
As I said in my last fax to you, I am writing to the papers, Gamcare, posting to online forums to
warn potential players and if necessary to my MP. I have only written to one paper so far, as I
was hoping that you would have the decency to contact me.
Sincerely
