Well it doesn’t appear to me that you have a gambling problem, maybe was getting carried away at some pointand closed 1 account? ….and, if your name is on some list, what do other micros do in this situation, are any we trust willing to come forward and answer?
I do think my gambling has been out of control at times and it was more than just entertainment for me. In the past I have been forthcoming with casinos I have asked to close my account because of this. It’s usually something like” Please lock account XXXXXXXXX as I feel I am losing too much money and need to take a break ect….” I actually have no problem at all with microgaming putting me on a list and I think its the responsible thing to do when there is question of a player having any kind of gambling problem whatsoever. But it would have been nice to have been notified, then I wouldn’t be in this silly situation. But I don’t think this gives any casino the right to keep my winning balance from me on money I genuinely risked. As a matter of fact I recall several players over the years saying that they requested their casino account be closed temporarily after a big score in fear of losing it back, and the casino has no problem doing this and paying the winnings accordingly even though the player has just admitted that they have a tendency to lose control.
Frankly I don’t know what other microgaming casinos would have done in this situation, but I can assure you I won’t put my self in it again, and it is a shame that when a casino has the opportunity to do the right thing, they instead take the other road and pull these stunts with players like me just because they can. And trust me, there were games being played by them which is why I had to bring Miles into the mix in the first place. I knew this would be somewhat embarrassing for me to bring to the forums, but I would be remised if I had not. All these reasons they have given do not hold water and have holes in them any way they slice it. But its a good lesson learned by me, and they certainly won’t ever get any players from me as an affiliate. And I have such a bad taste in my mouth with this situation that I will probably never make another deposit anywhere online which in the long run is good for me.
Thanks again for the responses, but it’s time for me to put this matter to bed. They can keep the money, I hope they use it towards buying a little class, because everything reason and justification they have given holds no water and they have contradicted themselves umpteen times in this matter.
