Hi,
this really is a huge thing IMHO that the casinos seem all to willing to over look.
Where the hell does it say you can’t play from two different countries?
and don’t give me that BS about reading it in the terms. The freaking terms are so damn long that a person my age would likely be dead before finishing reading them and I understand that this is SOP and that if truth be told they could make the terms a lot shorter by rewording their BS to what they’re really saying …. if we want to screw you …. we can.
Now that said; the legit casinos that truly WANT to pay their winners because they’re smart enough to realize it will come back 10 fold …. need to make these little “glitches” made more easily seen that at the bottom of a terms page.
In other words … since you damn well know you’re going to have people playing from two different countries ( I can’t believe this hasn’t come up before now) why not put up a warning inside the casino telling people to avoid these EASILY avoidable pitfalls instead of letting them blindly walk into them?
GEEZ! honestly I bet I could increase any online casino’s income by 30% or more in 6 months just by simply doing these little things to avoid looking like some low-rent 3rd class casino that’s so hard up it has to steal $450 from its players.
I’ve said this for going on 6 years now; and still it falls on deaf ears. People ask one question when they come up against an obstacle for getting a cash-in: if they didn’t need this crap to take my money … why the hell do they need it to pay me?
and the rhetoric about money laundering etc is just a lot of babble to somebody who’s money was taken without a second word said … and yet goes thru such hoops to get paid.
So if all the claim is so freaking true that the casinos want to pay …. then take some measures to at least LOOK like you mean what you say!
To finish; I would think anybody in Europe would be expected to be playing from a different country at one time or another. Heck in my disclaimer I usually write something to the effect of “… don’t gamble if you live where its illegal but perhaps you can put this info to work when you vacation to somewhere it is legal”.
guess that’s a bad idea too.
… unreal the money involved in this industry to see such incompetence happen as often as it does.
