Seems like it may have just been a stalling tactic... i'm not really sure. I never got any responses back from Shark's manager or from Phynqster on here....
What about the VP claim? I guess this was cleared up.
Nevertheless, everyone should avoid this casino at all costs.
And why would anyone play at a casino called "Shark"?

Bonusbud was giving Players who were having trouble the Shark manager's phone number. Not sure if that would help your situation or not but it probably wouldn't hurt.

Yep, this making a little more sense now.
BetUS is joining the list of online gaming companies that are closing up shop in Costa Rica.
According to arious reports, dozens of employees were given their pink slips ia conference call.
Have a good one.

I had a call from a casino rep about a week or so ago from shark and they were saying that they are under new management and asked why I haven't played there since my last withdrawal and how they would match my deposit if I did deposit that day.
They said their new manager is a lot better than the one they got rid of. This is all heresay and I don't know how true it was and that was why I didn't post anything, so maybe there is a shakeup going on?

I absolutely agree with you Winbig. It's a common courtesy to at least acknowledge receipt of a PM, even if it can't be dealt with immediately. Sorry Cipher, I'm always willing to cut the casino reps a little slack, as I think it's great that they monitor the forum and try to assist when they can....but I just checked and Phynqster was online today.
So now I'm curious, has anyone who sent a PM in the last week or two received a reply as yet?

That still doesn't explain why he has ignored everyone when he WAS logging in everyday. Not even a quick note saying he's going on acation or whatever. Just silence.
If he had time to log in, he had time to acknowlege PM's sent to him.

I was going to use one of those coupons back in November for VIDEO POKER - and decided to ask live chat re multi-hand ideo poker and they said it was NOT considered to be ideo poker and was excluded.
A sad indictment that I felt I actually had to do that first isnt it.....

That is not good. If he's been here, he should at least have had the courtesy to reply to your PM.

I had almost excactly the same happening to me at Cocoa casino. The
T&C (in-game software T&C) only excluded multivideopoker and not ideopoker.
This turned out to be a mistake though, but they just lifted the wagering requirement so I could cashout and changed the T&C.
For Shark casino I would not even play there if I was offered a 500% bonus.
The number of complaints I have read the last year only from Shark casino is amazing.
If noone plays there, they go out of business.

I agree. Would like to see where exclusion is written, for the sake of all others who have run into this. If it was somewhere, the CS should have been able to redirect to that spot. If it was a case of accidently dropping it from programming, its kind of like retail stores....honor your misprint until it is corrected...

Man, this is about the level of fun I had last time I tried to use a coupon at Shark.
Now, at other casinos, I think I have seen one or two make distinctions between multihand VP and single VP. A couple times.
On Shark's website, I cannot find special rules mentioned for multi hand ideo poker. In fact, the only time I mentioned it at all is in a possibly out-of-date terms for the welcome bonus, where "Multi-Hand Video Poker/Video Poker" is listed along with other game types, including "Back Jack".
So, I would definitely call shenanigans on Shark. While they have meant to exclude MHVP (not sure why), they sure didn't write it down anywhere.

Hey, just when you thought the RTG licensees couldn't get any more bizarre, and this post was off the hook, get a load of this from a recent entry right here at Casinomeister from a new member "digkas":
Powerbet... is asking that I provide them with a greek utility bill that is in English.
That's odd, because most RTG casino PLAYERS think that their T&C's are greek to them!
OK, coupled with the "multi-line poker isn't really poker" BS from Shark, I reluctantly must agree that these two reasons even trump my own (and still unresolved for four + months...) incident with Crystal Palace.
One would think the execs at Realtime Gaming would be getting a tad concerned about their long term (or even short term) iability right about now. Since all online casinos that wish to do business in the United Kingdom are likely going to need to be formally "certified" by Fall 2007, I would gather the UK Gaming Commission won't be ery willing to ... | | Read Entire Entry |

More shenanigans from yet another RTG licensee.
Again, the frequency and scope of these types of blatant attempts to rip off players at RTG sites is almost beyond description.
QUESTION: WHEN IS RTG GOING TO REMOVE THEIR CUMULATIVE HEADS FROM THE SAND AND START ACTING TO STOP THIS BS!!!!!
To the player: If this doesn't get resolved soon, you can PAB here with Bryan, and also try emailing www.hastingsbv.com which we have been told, will be setting up a "formal" dispute link in the near term (but I wouldn't hold my breath..)
Failing that, you should know that the ground swell of international players fed up with Realtime Gaming and their large stable of below board operators has reached almost epic proportions.
I'll keep you updated, but there should be a major "come-uppance" in late January for these folks if they don't get their s^&t in gear by then...
Good luck, and don't let Shark Casino screw you!
