In fact, that is a bit irresponsible for me to state - since I am not omniscient - proceed with caution until I give the thumbs up. How's that?

Have any of the players who lost their net winnings recieved compensation?
I got access restored to most of my accounts, and all pending withdrawals were sent to me.
Depending on how many sites you play at, my recommendation to you would be to limit your play to 2 or 3 skins at the most.

My issue has been partially resolved, as Sportfanatik has refunded my $250 deposit!
Aces.com continues to refuse to refund my $50, though...but $250 is a lot better than $0.

However, from Aces.com:
Quote:
I write to inform you that our management department have completed their review of your account and have concluded that no more funds will be returned to you. As per our records more funds have been sent then were received on the account. As per site rules this decision is final and will not be reviewed again.
It was found that bonus abuse was the reason for this - You received the same bonus in these accts: [account numbers deleted]
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
So my accounts were locked because I claimed the same bonus from each account...never mind the fact that each site offered the same bonus individually.
What's the point of permitting multiple accounts (one per skin) if I can't claim the bonus at each site?

Hmmm...there may already be possible resolution to my situation.
I just got this email from Sportfanatik:

These crooks at SportingBet locked all of my accounts and have refused to release the $300 I have deposited in two of their sites recently.
For the record, I have several accounts, but one per "skin," which the above post points out, is completely legal. About a week or two ago, I had three accounts locked due to "bonus abuse" (one of which was Players Only). Through support, I got no good answer as to what they meant; I was simply told that my accounts were locked and it was a management decision that would not be reversed.
Frantic, I tried withdrawing my deposits only from the other skins in which I had an account (Aces.com and Sportfanatik.com). The next day, both those accounts were locked.
I spoke to reps from both Aces.com and Sportfanatik, and got a reply today from Aces.com regarding my account:

Me: hi

Lional: Yes, it is
Me: okay
Me: is there any sort of rules regarding accounts among the players only casinos? >

Lional: You are allowed to have one active account per site
Me: okay
Me: cool
Lional: You are not allowed more than one active account at each site
Me: right
Me: but just one is perfectly fine, right?
Me: thanks

I am now a believer! This is the first time something like this happened to me, and it the first time that I've tried a casino that I didn't see positive stuff about here on Casinomeister...
I am mainly a poker player, but as far as when I want to play some blackjack, I like to try out different software to see what I like the most. Needless to say, I didn't like Player's Only software, and I really don't like their management's ethics!
And I guess I should have stated "Player's Only Casino" in the thread title Now that I read it the way the last couple posters read it, it does sound pretty depressing...luckly it was only $23 in stolen winnings for me!

This group is notorious for enforcing a multiple account rule that doesnt seem to be publically iewable.
Here is a link to another instance only involving far more cash.

If this breaks any posting rules I apologise. I cant see any conflict between the sites interests

Posts like this make me really angry
Not at the poster....at the casino!
I dont care if the player is a dedicated bonus whore ( not saying you are billjames )
I dont care if he has whored 100's of casino's
I dont care if has only wagered the exact minimum
I dont care if he has played others in your group
I dont care if he only joined up to get the bonus
I dont care about all the other reasons you might have!!!!!!!!
If you have given a player a bonus and he has not broken the terms..pay him!!
You know it happens.....stop crying about it!

THREAD TITLE: Player's Only winnings stolen
Okay, this is going to sound a little silly to some, maybe not to others. I'm sorry that it really doesn't have anything at all to do with the content of the post.

Now don't I feel silly!
Anyway, I guess that I bring it up because we are online and what is written is sometimes misinterpreted from the real context, and that we should always try to write clearly so that assumptions are not made.
BillJames, I'm not saying anything negative about your post at all, so please don't get me wrong. I'm just remarking in general. But your title DID get me to click on it! lol

I am new to Casinomeister...
However a weird behaviour I've noticed ery often in this forum and its that a lot of gamblers out there know about the meister's site and forum... Never the less they keep going to unknown and dishonest casinos to make deposits (sometimes even with their credit cards) and then they come here to complain and cry about their experiences)
Is this a gambling junkie behaviour?? Do we like been treated like crap and not getting paid what we deserve?? (I include my self since I have done it in the past)
It is really weird... I am sure that the threads and posts will lower in a tremendous way if people would only play at casinos accredited by this site.
Some of us have the urge of being scammed and treated like homeless dogs in order to satisfy our gambling sickness.
So it seems to me that gambling is no longer the addiction... Now we look for morons operating online gambling websites so we can take advantage of their bonuses, p... | | Read Entire Entry |

This type of crap is becoming more common it seems. Why don't they just exclude certain games if that is what they mean.
I am getting the impression that this is how many operate, if a player wins from a first deposit bonus, confiscate and get rid of them if it looks like they are a sensible player (unlikely to give the casino back the money, and more).
It looks like some casinos are intent on going for the short term gain with the bonus lure, hoping to get away with it as they believe online gambling is a rather lonely activity. When they hit bad publicity, they will have had time to come up with an excuse, and rearrange promotions to be "safer" for them.
Without proper regulation, there is little to stop this, or to publicise it. This is why this forum, and some others, are useful. If we see a string of complaints from a particular casino, the heat will be turned up on them, and they will have to account for their actions or lose customers.

I had made a $50 deposit with Player's Only and recieved a bonus after pre-wagering. I cleared the bonus within a week, with $23 in winnings from Blackjack (not including the bonus).
I made a withdrawal in the total amount of $105 (original deposit+bonus+winnings), but before the withdrawal was processed, Player's Only shut down my account and credited me with only my original $50 deposit.
I have contacted CS repeated asking why my account was shut down, and they keep saying that "it was closed per management decision". However, they will give me no reason WHY it was shut down. This should be a simple answer that they are apparently unwilling to give.
I know the casino is perfectly within their rights to manage their customer base as they see fit. However, if they offer a bonus, accept a deposit, and the player follows the rules of the bonus structure, they should pay out. Period. It is especially unexcusable that they took my winnings (as well as the bonus) wi... | | Read Entire Entry |
