Oh, definitely. I didn't mean to imply that the company, or bartender *cared*... more than in monetary and legal interest.

Nice you got your money back. They did a misstake and fixed it. Sure they probably did it becaus they whised to keep the costumer, but the importent thing is that they fixed it.... I like it!

Wow. This is a good scheme. I should ask as many casinos as I can find to ban me from playing, and then try playing on every one. As soon as I find one that accidently lets me play, bet my roll on one spin of roulette. If I double-up, I win. If I don't, I complain.

I'm sure there's more than a 1:20 chance of getting my money back, so it's +EV.

Which site was it by the way?

Now that you got your dough back, why not put it all on red and try to double up?

You still have to work on the emotional aspects that are causing you to lose money. You may have "lucked out" this time, but you blow it some other way in the future.

The only way you would have a legal claim for them to refund your money, is if you can prove that you lost the money due to their mistake or gross negligence

Hello,

This is incorrect.

Thanks.

they promised to fix that "today or tomorrow" and tomorrow was 5 days ago.

Sounds like a pretty good scam to me. Kind of like a freeroll. Why didn't you contact them on days three or four? I would place much of the blame on you. I don't think they should give you your money back.

Thank you,

Jim Kuhn

Oh dear god, that wasn't even a *good* fake CS email.

Sure, an out-of-control gambler who demands their account be closed, but gambles anyway and then wants their losses back is a long term "valuable customer" in so many ways -- not like the more typical affluent fish who can afford his losses, and tells all his friends about "how fun it it" (and selectively recounts his big wins). Yeah, those normal gamblers are trouble, and are a painfully scary warning to everyone around them: "This could be you".

I'm sure all our real CS e-mails include a 'remember when' like a best friend fondly recounting a 'drunk story', instead of stopping with a boring "A review of your transaction history shows that you have been a loyal, valued customer..."

No matter how much money you've made them in the past, a casino only cares what you can do for them NOW. They don't want the hassle of problem gamblers. Sure, they'll take your money, but you just flagged yourself as a potential problem. If they gave back your losses, they'd be left with only the hassles (and a lot more of them!) That'd hardly make you a valued customer. Your closed account can't make them money, and a problem gambler in a casino tends to become a problem in other areas, too -- especially once they blame 'daddy' for the car crash because "he told me he'd hide my keys".

That's not a slam at casinos. Most businesses will do the same. Even a bank that accidentally forgets to place a stop-check order won't give you back your money, if they find out you wrote the check AFTER you put the stop order in. Legally, that's fraud.

I sincerely apologize if I am mistaken, but if I read the situation correctly, that feeble attempt to reclaim your table image could only give a few vulnerable posters false hope, and that really bugs me.
