Casino Rewards Network Says No to Advatage Players - part 2

I mentioned that these players only grind out a few dollars and that is true for the majority of them but they also have every bit as much a chance of being a big winner as the next guy, and inevitably their sheer numbers alone will undoubtedly take their toll on the casino bottom line.

The real damage done in paying these players is it sets precedent which will have those undesireable type of players increase to such numbers that what is now an out-of-hand situation turn into a horrible disaster for the casinos. Instead of gaining loyal customers the casinos, all online casinos, would see gamblers jumping from one bonus to the next like herds of locusts and when the good grazing was gone so would be the players that these bonus offers were created to aquire. Therefore not only defeating the whole purpose of offering a sign-up bonus but it actually would be working against that desired result as it would teach players to jump from one spot to the next, the exact opposite of what was sought.

I personally don’t think it would be a bad thing for the legitimate casinos to get away from the sign-up bonus because it does create so much controversy. It does take comps away from what the legitimate player could be enjoying and is the entire motivation for a segment of opportunists to exist which otherwise would be somewhere else mooching freebies. They are taking away from the legitimate enthusiasts of the hobby.

If the casinos would put that sign-up bonus money towards such endeavors as increasing loyalty rewards and existing player bonuses it stands to reason the controversy over play-through requirements would end because so would the need for their very existence. I have lobbied for this approach for years and would very much like to see it that way. Reward those deserving and the casino not put itself in a position for parasites to feed on its blind sides.

However the casinos believe that if they can get a player to come in and try them that their payout percentages are so good that the player wil be impressed enough to want to come back and play again. The only way to get people to come in however and try online gambling is to offer them the chance to gamble using somebody else’s money, namely the casino’s dime in this instance. The casino doesn’t mind putting up the money but they want in return an honest effort by the new player to try out the casino. If the casino states upfront they will not fall victim to such tactics as are seen from bonus chasers, then they are stating they they won’t let their legitimate players pay any further price for the actions of a group of people who have no honorable intentions in respect to the spirit in which the bonus was offered. Frankly I don’t see where anybody with legitimate intent stands to get hurt? Certainly not more often than they would if the bonus requirements were increased to a point where the casino doesn’t have as much risk in losing the free money they are bleeding out.

Everything else aside, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if you just played a little deeper into the game than quitting just when you hit the minimum play-through requirements, that you wouldn’t have to worry about being accused of this issue. The major reason behind the complaints voiced is that they are coming from bonus chasers who as I mentioned are seeking to play the bare minimum and then cash out whatever small amount they were able to hedge. Any extra playing risks their losing what small financial gain they have made.

Casino Rewards Network Says No to Advatage Players - part 3

If you are one of these kind of players the terms seek to discourage, and you still choose to play at at Casino Rewards site and you try to beat the system in an obvious method, expect to not get paid. The casino is being quite upfront about this matter and in fact is giving away the recipe for not being accused, simply play a little deeper than the minimums.

Advantage players are very savvy and know the casinos do not want their business but they choose to force the issue because it is the only chance they have to enter into a gambling situation and have a positive expectation. It is already understood that a casino cannot stay in business if it is giving out better than it receives, and players choose to give up that percentage the house has over them in order to have a place to go gamble and know they will be paid when they win.

What these kind of terms really hurt is the casino because it will be taken wrong by a percentage of people, and legitimate players who read about these issues and have not yet been involved with online gambling long enough to realize the casino is in fact saving money that can be given to them, will not sign up to play there. Those players lose out because Casino Rewards have been the top of my reputable list for nearing ten years and I’ve had only one complaint in all that time and that one was due to the player misunderstanding when they were to get credited for a high hand bonus at the poker site. That’s an outstanding record in my book, by any standards actually, but especially when you know the incompetence, greed and over-indulged egos that lurk out there in the virtual casino world.

These are casinos time-proven to pay even the biggest of amounts of money, such as the recent winner located in Finland who was paid a whopping five and a half million dollars from BlackjackBallroom on a fifty cent slot machine bet that resulted in the jackpot.

If I can trust Casino Rewards in knowing they pay those kind of jackpot amounts, then I think I can trust them to be able to look at my proven play history and determine I am not a bonus chaser. I do not deposit and play the minimum, only then to cash out. The only people who will have such reason to complain about these terms are those who are first time players that have accepted a bonus and then played the minimum required wagers to cash out. If that isn’t the definition of an advantage player then what would be? The casinos are making it very clear they don’t want this kind of player, they are not welcome, and that they are not going to have how they run their business dictated to them by a group of opportunists. If you choose to call the casino unfair for making these terms and conditions clearly available to be known before any money exchanges hands, then so be it.

However legitimate players with a savvy of online gambling will not find such terms threatening and enjoy having the confidence in knowing they are playing at an online casino in the network of the likes of Blackjack Ballroom which as mentioned just paid out five and a half million dollars. This was reported on Fox news the month of April, 2008 and is a matter of public record.

One last thing, Casino Rewards, the network accused of trying to avoid paying the small withdrawals by those profiled as not accepting the bonus in spirit given, is the same network that just recently bought the failed network of casinos that included Golden Reef, Challenge, Nostalgia and Music City, who closed their doors while still having many of their player’s money. Casino Rewards announced when they bought the failed network that all outstanding debt to the players would be paid by them thus ensuring nobody got hurt. Rather an odd act of charity to come from some place willing to stoop to cheating bonus chasers out of a few dollars, wouldn’t you say? Or is it that Casino Rewards has taken their stance based on principal, rather than on trying to save a few dollars?

Smoking at online casinos is allowed

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Online casinos have the “all smoking” light on. It is okay to smoke while playing these casino games. This is unlike many land casinos during current times as many have fallen victim to recently passed laws prohibiting smoking in public areas including casinos and bars. Of course those living in the U.S. are still free to smoke in their own homes which will be yet another irony that sends people running to online gambling rather than their local gaming institution.

While the U.S. has not chosen to pursue smokers past their property lines, there are many countries which have chosen to try and tell their citizens how to live in the privacy of their own homes. Oh wait a minute. My mistake. I momentarily forgot that the US federal government has chosen to not regulate online gambling but rather take the path of intimidation by having the dept of justice issue propaganda that would have US citizens believe it is illegal to gamble on line. However to date not one person has ever been even charged with gambling on line although sports betting is excluded for purposes of this article because there does exist the “wire act” which says it is illegal to place sporting bets using the telephone line. This has been the DOJ’s claim all along for saying it is illegal to gamble on line but the law was created before the internet existed and was very specific about it only pertaining to sports betting. Therefore several points of interest must be examined and then proven to all fall the way of the DOJ’s preference and that is an unlikely scenario of which all parties are aware.

An attempt to pass a federal law making it illegal to gamble on line fell just short of its goal when the UIGEA rider was passed on the last day of a legislation period while hidden on the skirt of a anti-terrorist act that was of course certain to pass. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act makes it illegal for a banking institution to knowingly allow a transaction that may fund an online gambling account but stops short of addressing the gambler.

The law is already being condemned by many in congress as impossible to police without seriously impeding the entire banking system. The banks themselves have already stated that this is forcing them to error to side of caution therefore legitimate purchases are being denied which hurts not only the consumer and merchant but also the bank that refused to allow payment since not many customers are going to be understanding about being left red-faced when they know their credit or debit card is good. So if you’re in the states and doing a little online gambling then feel free to light up and “smoke ‘em if you got ‘em”. Both are still your right to do in the privacy of your own home but be sure to keep an eye on things come next time to vote.
