A nightmare..all money in my account taken out by the casino

Probably best to get those transactions and route it formally through complaints processes. AG Team can look at it via that means -

pinnit2015 replied to Hkaris's topic in Casinos General
If the OP lost the 50 and played with the Cashback bonus then that certainly changes the nature of the complaint as the narrative here has been built on bonus’s being dropped into the account -
It’s difficult to compare in fairness to when I used to go and place a football bet when younger. Yeah, the internet etc has exposed and opened up more markets for companies (women gamblers have seen a massive spike due to the ease at which it can be played), it’s now seen as less of ‘old man in bookies betting on horses’ to spinning a few rounds in house when the kids are in bed’ etc How do you promote something without being accused of targeting or exposing certain vulnerable groups to it... difficult and not sure of the answer in many cases

Take Smoking - The fall in numbers hasn't been because of a ban (i believe) in advertising, it's been based on a lot of cultural shifts, an increased knowledge that smoking kills and people generally being more educated/aware of what harms they face. In Scotland we had minimum price alcohol restrictions to curb drink related issues - again, think the figures will come out soon to show, what a surprise, that it's had no effect in the 2 years or so in place. Just examples of why i'm inherently wary of these' initiatives' It's like me getting shot in the face and offering a sticky plaster to help.

But Education's key to this - why not ban the following: McDonald's - leads to obesity, diabetes and heart conditions: life ruined Alcohol - above And everything else that's potentially harmful Football clubs being sponsored by gambling companies have come under fire in recent years - predominately the Guardian - but there are rules such as them not being being allowed to sponsor youth replica shirts etc. The key is the word 'targeting' You have ***** education before you hit 16/17 in schools - you don't just go 'oh, wait until they're 16 and then address it' - well, they did that, and funnily enough that approach fails. Same with alcohol - kids in France learn, and drink, before the legal age and there's less of a drink problem there than there is in the USA/UK with ages of 18/21. If we want to argue contributory factors to kids looking at gambling then it's not 32 Red Sponsoring a football team etc - it's social gambling that's probably a bigger factor: facebook etc. As a parent myself i owe it to my kid to be on the watch for stuff like this - not to simply outsource the monitoring of such to the Advertising Standards Agency. But yes, there's responsibilities on both sides You can't wander through life 'protecting' kids from possible harms - it's simply impossible, you'd be as well sticking them in a giant bubble. Worst of all it doesn't help them IMO.

Whilst this virus might not be the one the snuffs out humanity, i'd say it's probable that a scenario like it is what brings an end to things - not climate change On the plus side, it'll be good for the USA, wha hey! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51276323 Good old Uncle Sam, looking out for number 1. Don't tend to pay much attention to the figures being banded about because, you know, they're coming from China.- 111 replies

One can only imagine the mess they're going to make of negotiating bespoke free trade agreements across the other nations, given the Keystone Cops approach up to know. Pretty sure the only thing the UK will be able to negotiate importing at a decent rate will be the Corona virus from China.- 111 replies

I know there's folk who have said, and no reason to not believe them, that they've managed to debug and re-programme their brain so that they can discipline themselves to play within their means but, and again no figures etc, I'd imagine this to be quite a small number. I think however it'd be entirely possible for you to have a slot addiction (due to the nature of them), quit, but still be able to put your tenner football coupon on without any ill effects - the issue would probably be after that - sitting with a wad of cash, wanting to play slots. Tend to agree with you, as a general view. Plus the bigger kicker with slots etc addiction isn't really the money, as weird as that sounds, it's the isolation, constantly thinking of the next spin, loss of interest in family/friends/hobbies - you can fix money problems far easier than you can repair broken relationships.

Help with casinos we can trust !
pinnit2015 replied to Marchev's topic in Casinos General
Probably wise to try and bust the myth that once you withdraw from somewhere etc the wins dry up. Anecdotal of course but I've had plenty of times whereby i've needed to cancel withdrawals and submit higher ones due to the streak continuing, to instances whereby, like LV Bet who charge (Bad LV) if you make more than one w/d a week, incurring several charges as I've continued to win in the week. Conversely, at an L and L casino, i'm currently 2k in deposits and not a withdrawal. Yin and yang -
It's Curacao so they'd basically let a Dog lay a bet if they wanted. To be fair to casino's this is extremely difficult, even with KYC - if my 'kid was 14' - probably, could find a copy of my passport - check. Can go into the draw and find one of my utility bills - check. Nip into my wallet and use my card and take a photo to send - check. As a casino, without doing a facetime call, how would i know it's me at aged 38 and not my kind at 16? - genuinely would like to know from anyone in the industry how they safeguard against this? There may be an argument that i failed in my duty to keep certain documents safe BUT, in a house with your family that's quite a leap... If you actually look at the UKGC's code on this, you could say if they did the initial KYC above then what else can they do?

Cos they have bespoke deals with the casinos whereby normal terms do not apply to them, in many cases. Downside is you need to sign a piece of paper with Lucifer. -
Release the Kraken - now on SocialTournaments.com
pinnit2015 replied to MackieST's topic in Casinos General
That everyone loves, except the UKGC Out of curiosity how difficult is it to disable the bonus buy if releasing into the U.K. market who have now effectively banned them? Just curious if it’s a big deal etc -

In all my years of a. being drunk and b. having mates who are 3 sheets to the wind, have i ever used anyone's account without their knowledge. Time to catapult them away IMO. Mrs P is a bit of a fire cracker (being an angry Scot) and probablyone of the bluntest people i know - i wouldn't needed to have done anything, she'd have battered them on her own -

And here's one of the benefits of gambling with a CC @ValDes, not only do you get s75 protection but if money is taken, you're not disadvantaged whilst the bank perform their investigations (unless you rely on CC's which, in that case, you've bigger issues than simply gambling) and CC companies are far more likely to simply refund you than if it was from your bank Dare i say it...it gives rise to a safer environment -
