Before
you go I think it is important to know
how cheating casino scams get
away with robbing players of millions of
dollars every year.
The
cheats have taken what was meant to be a
valid approach to preventing
money-laundering and now use it as an
excuse to not pay players who make big
withdrawal requests.
There
is an identity check which all online
players are subject to endure if they
are chosen by the casino security team.
Of course this means that nearly all
large withdrawals are contested to the
point that proof of identity (driver's
license) is required along with proof of
residency (copy of a recent utility
bill). This is no big hassle to satisfy
if the casino is legitimate. However
some shady casinos are now using this
security requirement as an excuse to not
pay.
After
the player sends the fax they hear
nothing from the casino so they assume
everything is okay. When a time has
passed that the player feels they must
contact the casino to see what is going
on, they email support and receive a
reply that the documents required for
cashing out did not arrive in legible
fashion. This news pisses the player off
naturally but unknown to the customer
they are playing right into the casino's
hand if they respond with any kind of
profanity. That is an automatic out of
jail free card and shady casinos play it
like the movie "Its a wonderful life"
gets shown at Christmas time.
Enough
stall tactics and eventually almost
anybody loses their cool. These shady
casinos can easily explain away what few
cool-headed customers they aren't able
to goad into self-destructing, or worst
case scenario is if they are pushed into
a corner where there's no escape they
simply pay the money owed and steal it
from some other source which is less
likely to be so adamant and methodical
in their approach to dealing with the
casino.
The
second worst casino scam after the stall
and don't pay tactic is probably the
trap your money scam which all online
casinos have play through requirements
but some have become so unreachable that
shady casinos are offering huge bonus
offers to accompany the player's deposit
and these are so attractive that people
are ignoring the play through
requirements ... at least until they're
on the other side of the mountain and
they've played a considerable while but
when they check to see if they are near
completing the play through, they
finally see how ridiculously impossible
the terms were to meet. So in a sense
this is a matter of player education and
once the word spreads or enough people
get burned ... probably both will
happen, the casino scams will find
another way of cheating players but in
the meantime its something to be aware
to avoid.
