[Edited:] Speculations about online casinos?
Afi4wins replied to Baldurseljan's topic in Ask Gamblers
Well Baldurseljan, when it comes to taking risks and spending lots of money at a casino, then it becomes our responsibility to check and to make sure that what you are buying is something not rotten and worth buying - just like checking for expiry dates on foodstuff, looking for fresh fruits, not decaying ones, and so forth. But, humans, being humans, not everyone take this seriously enough. There are lots of players out there who simply want to have fun, regardless of which casino they are playing at. Yes, everyone wants to win, and expects to win once in awhile, and no one can accept continuous losses, not even the blardy rich ones. All the Gambling Authorities are already doing their bit of controlling and governance on these casinos, and they can only do so much - just as how the police force are doing their part for the public too. But if the public or the player insist on being careless or reckless, then there's nothing more than the authorities can do. Everyone has a duty to look after one's self-interest and not depend on the authorities for everything! Yes, just like humans too, casinos are no different. There are good ones and there are bad ones. There are law-abiding ones and there certainly are some which insist on making their own rules! But in the very first instance, all forms of gambling should be banned totally, but this is not possible of course. If all legally licensed casinos are banned, illegal ones would blossom from within the darkness and create an even worse scenario for the public and authorities! In the end, like it or not, it becomes our responsibility to take care of ourselves first, to walk down a safe path and to avoid those with hidden mines in the ground! Yet so many are not even being fair to themselves, for being indifferent and not caring at all about such things, and these are the people that create more problems for everyone. Casinos will continue to be such! They exists purely for reaping in money for their own purposes, and they give a damn for players. It's only the casino's employees who have to struggle and do their best to make things comfortable and pleasant for the users. The casino owners only care about their wallets! So, before buying a jackpot chance, wouldn't it become necessary that one should check it out first? To make sure that the jackpot prizes are real and not just scams? Just like when you buy a music CD, wouldn't you check out to make sure that you are buying a legitimate CD and not a pirated one? Yet, how many buyers actually do all these checking...or even bothered if it's a legitimate one or not???!!! -
Let's have some chit chat :)

[Edited:] Speculations about online casinos?
Afi4wins replied to Baldurseljan's topic in Ask Gamblers
You are wrong there Baldurseljan! A businessman won a 6.9million jackpot in my country and the news was published in the local newspaper! But of course, personal details about the winner were not revealed for confidential and safety reasons. Microgaming's Mega Moolah's Jackpot winners are always published in casino's forums. I don't live in their countries so I wouldn't know if the local newspaper talked about the winners. Playtech's Marvel Jackpot winners always had their usernames displayed onscreen almost immediately, for others to see. Winners of other smaller jackpots don't ever get such publicity...there's no reason to brag about someone winning a 2000 EUR jackpot, for example. So...jackpot prizes are real, and the winners are also real. What probably isn't real are jackpot prizes that suddenly get reset back to the minimum amount, with no mention at all of any winners. These could be faked jackpots. Resetting the jackpot amount makes it look like someone has won it...but there won't be any news on the winner at all. Yes, I have seen this happening at some casinos...but I also know that those casinos are rogue ones! -

Where to discuss the possibility of rigged tables?
Afi4wins replied to Flaxen's topic in Online Slot Discussions
I'm wondering if other roulette providers, like Ezugi, are also having the same complaints from players...or it is only with Evolution?- 92 replies

Here's my example... I have been playing at Omni Casino (Playtech) for about 13 or more years! In 2014, they started blocking off my bonus privileges simply because I was winning too much and too regularly using their deposit bonuses! After 3 blockages and reinstatements of my bonus privileges, I continued to make some more small wins with their bonuses...then they finally blocked off my privileges permanently! No more bonuses for me, ever! When I still managed to make some small wins on and off, the casino suddenly and unexpectedly became inaccessible to me! The same thing happened at their sister casino, Fly Casino, too, and both casinos became completely inaccessible to me. Last year, or was it early this year, I finally managed to get access into the casino again, using a VPN, but my request to reactivate both my accounts did not materialise - in fact, they didn't even bothered to reply! So I know for sure that I'm never ever welcomed at Omni or Fly Casinos ever again! Well, that wasn't the end of the world for me. I am still playing at other Playtech casinos, which aren't as good as the two casinos, but something is still better than none! My point is, you leaving Pokerstars and playing somewhere else would be like what I have done with Omni and Fly Casinos.

Hi Lucystar , welcome to Askgamblers forum. Firstly, how can those other 2 accounts have a negative balance? Casinos do not give upfront credits, so the only way for the accounts to go negative is by accruing maintenance fees for dormancy, which again seems unlikely, because accounts that have zero balance do not incur any maintenance fees. Perhaps you can enlighten us on this? Secondly, how did the casino know that the other 2 accounts are from your family? Were they opened using your same IP address, before they moved 800 kms away? If nothing else works for you, perhaps you should consider closing your Pokerstars account and starting anew somewhere else? It's not like the end of the world, and there's lots of better casinos out there for you to try them out!

Okay, understood. I have written in to Skrill about my closed account...but still no answer! Well, that's Skrill! Can I use Ecopayz instead, if Skrill doesn't answer my email soon enough? Bank Wire Transfers cost a bum each time, so it's not preferable to me.

Damn! This Neteller is fast becoming NUTeller for me... Maybe I should write in and try to get my Skrill account reopened...

Hahaha...there are all kinds of players out there mate... we say "no...don't play there", they say "oh?...and where else is there?" we say "they will pay you damn slowly, they say "but their bonuses are heavenly" we say "they look like a rogue casino to me", they say "I like them and it's not your money"

That's easy matey...they want your comments in the forum section, not in the news section...and that's why our Sharon keeps posting up all those latest news here in the forum. Nobody make comments in any TV News channels anyway, right? Hahaha.

Player wins £6.4m on Hall of Gods
Afi4wins replied to cocopop3011's topic in Online Slot Discussions
Well matey, the jackpots probably know that you are not stingy, but I guess they also know that you have won a lot from bonuses...so no jackpots for you, not for now anyway. -
Player wins £6.4m on Hall of Gods
Afi4wins replied to cocopop3011's topic in Online Slot Discussions
And the winner only deposited 30 GBP to win the jackpot! Waa-waa-weee! Just curious though...the winners of big jackpot prizes are always either from Europe or from the UK...but why can't players from ASIA ever get to win it for a change? -
Hah? You mean some members actually submitted non-genuine reviews, like taken from somewhere else maybe? Or did they simply BS all the way through?! Hahaha.

Once a player has become addicted, it becomes almost impossible for that player to quit gambling on his/her own will! The urge to carry on gambling becomes so intense that nothing will stop it. So...some very serious help is indeed needed from others. Reading that mentioned article by our Guru would lighten up some matters and offer possibilities on rehabilitation...but an addict would still need someone else's help to make it through successfully! So Bobmarleyking here MUST get someone's help, preferably someone very close, to make it through!
